[@thegoodthebadandtheugly579]

I am an immigrant in the UK and I have lived, studied and worked in the UK for most of my life now. I have to say, this Farage guy makes sense. The common person in the UK with an average salary (£35k-£50k) is really really struggling to live beyond just affording the basic minimum. The rent is the key problem and mortgages are unaffordable. Salaries are stagnating while bills are rocketing. We need change. Real change. And we don’t need change to support the top 1%. We need change to support the bottom 99%.

[@Yogafran]

Greens won hands down 🌿first answer = first applause & Ramsey was good at addressing question authentically. He even kept Bruce's nit-picking on track to broader national relevance. Was much more in tune with what people care about. Food security, warmer homes, cheaper energy, infrastructure, realistic affordability etc. Farage wasted too much time defended himself and his new political company, harking back to bygone era and the usually othering of pointing the blame elsewhere. He even blamed the NHS for medical shortages & not Brexit. Unlike Reform, the Green have been steadily building base over a number of years.

I live in an area that is 99'9% white British. My wife had to attend the nearest hospital (Furness General) for emergency treatment. The ambulance waiting time was estimated to be 3 hours so I took my wife in our car. Every one of the 7 different medical personnel that my wife had been treated and received advice from was dark-skinned and English was not their first language. Each one of those individuals provided a very caring and professional service. I can't imagine what state the NHS in that hospital would be in without those particular migrants.

[@busandcoach]

Yeah cheaper to import them than train out own people bollox

[@chuck1804]

Nobody is asking for those migrants to disappear. If every migrant was an NHS doctor or nurse then we wouldn't have a waiting list problem, would we? Those vacancies aren't available, nor is there accommodation enough to house an additional 1.2 million people per year. Immigration at *this* scale is unsustainable. That's the argument. It's a matter of scale.

[@christinefiedor3518]

I’m sick and tired of hearing poli saying that we are more likely to be treated by immigrants working in the nhs than meeting them in the queue for services. The whole world is experiencing a shortage of health care workers and we need to stop this continual poaching from each other which is out of control. What NEVER seems to get to considered is that not all overseas health qualifications are actually comparable. Competencies need careful cross referencing with uk equivalent to ensure standards are met. The standards are different countries. Given that it’s not essential to have any qualifications to work in social care and training is up the employer the sit-ups ares the life out of me. There is high incidence of abuse in both aged care and disability . The elderly and people with disabilities deserve to be supported by workers with the relevant skills and knowledge which are completely underestimated especially given people are living with more complex conditions and needs.

@@sparrow_6177of course the BBC are part of the establishment and they would not want to have someone like Farage getting lots of claps and support on tv it would destabilise their cushty number

[@johnleech777]

The guy is an actor and was using a fake voice , so why ? Seems very odd

[@ChrispyNut]

I've actually submitted a complaint to BBC [possibly first, second at the most] about Fiona Bruce not pining Farage about the staffers. That was such a massive let off. I was shouting at the screen even louder than I do at protests. So infuriating!

She was super harsh on Ed Davey and relaxed with Starmer

vote reform

Gonna do that tomorrow

Never ;)

I could do exactly the same thing with a hidden camera to Labour and Conservative activists, with exactly the same result. Its tabloid journalism.

I can't bear to watch this. Is Aaron still a simp for nuclear energy? Absolutely bizarre position for someone living on a wet and windy island in the middle of the ocean.

[@poplarboydavid]

Aaron - try entering Africa or any other country, illegally - would you get the reception that the U.K. is extending?

[@TristanBanks]

Africa is not a country.

You might want to look up how many countries are part of the refugee convention. Even some of the famously conservative and human rights "lite" Arab states take in refugees. Here's an old lie of Farage's debunked: Farage also said Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain refused to take a single refugee or displaced person from Syria, when in fact there are actually 2-3million Syrians in the Gulf countries, many of whom arrived when the war began and are no therefore included in UNHCR statistics. The Saudi government has, since the conflict began in 2011, hosted 2.5million refugees and has given permanent residency to hundreds of thousands of Syrians.

@@pauln6803 The conflict started long before that year.

[@pauln6803]

​@@WAEVOICE The Syrian civil war is an ongoing multi-sided conflict in Syria involving various state-sponsored and non-state actors. In March 2011, popular discontent with the rule of Bashar al-Assad triggered large-scale protests and pro-democracy rallies across Syria, as part of the wider Arab Spring protests in the region. After months of crackdown by the government's security apparatus, various armed rebel groups such as the Free Syrian Army began forming across the country, marking the beginning of the Syrian insurgency. By mid-2012, the crisis had escalated into a full-blown civil war. Care to contradict?

That's not true what Aaron said about the use of Trident. While the maintenance is required to keep it going, Trident can be fired at anytime and does not need permission from the U.S

[@StoatLoxley]

Only NATO can issue the launch codes. Its not our deterent, its theirs. we just pay for it as part of our Nato obligation

[@KevenHutchinson-gt1nn]

@StoatLoxley No, that is nonsense. The UK would not be able to keep Trident going without out the U.S. but it can fire it by itself. I work in the Royal navy

[@thekirstygee]

The Royal Marines will never do his bidding .

I dislike Nigel, but he does have a point about that undercover recording. That was ott racism even for reform voters.
