- "Why do they all want to come to Europe? They’re not doing us any favours. I could go further but I’ll probably be arrested if I did."
With net migration at its highest level on record, Times Radio reporter, Jo Crawford, asks Richmond residents if they think they have been impacted by immigration.

The British people aren't happy but politicians don't care.
So true. The bigwigs want mass immigration. It wont affect them.
You’ve picked the most woke people to answer the questions, clearly not from high immigration areas where the crime and security issues happen. This is ridiculous.
My friends of people I know are spitting feathers over immigration in fact I’ve not met anybody that is pro-immigration. They want them all repatriated from his bar back there is 1948. Where did I get these programs from.
I don't necessarily disagree there, Richmond is obviously a very affluent suburb, but then I live in a pretty nice part of the South, and I disagree 100% with all this mass immigration/migration into the UK, as I suspect if you interviewed a lot of people they would say the same, the people filmed here have blinkers on, and can't see whats happening right under their noses, or are just your typical woke leftie or were told NOT to be too damning or anti immigration, there has to be a stop to it and I suspect a future backlash if it doesn't end, or in another 25-30 years the UK will look like something from a Blade Runner or Mad Max future the way it's currently going.
Enoch was right
The UK needs to have referendum on ilegal migration and migration in general, they did this in Hungary and the people voted overwhelmingly against migration and they've stopped all ilegal migration there now.
Tried that,we left Europe.
You need to have a word with Suella Braverman,she says one thing but does the exact opposite behind your back. Tory-voting farmers need workers…..oh, have 10,000,Nepal,Uzbekistan. Problems in the NHS cos we don’t want to train our own….scour the world. 1 million job vacancies….Ooh,don’t worry,we don’t need 1m taxpayers.
@@mikehutchison4892 It will be a huge mistake to allow our culture, and DNA to be lost to others.
We dont even need the millions of freeloaders already here close the borders
We live on an Island that can barely feed itself.
Spot on
Exactly
It cannot feed itself now. If we didn't either export or import food we would only have enough for 50% of the population (given the legal figures)... The actual figures may be 20 million higher so we may only be able to support about a third
Just because we are democracy doesn't mean our countries are free for all that people from completely different culture will just enter and divide the country culturally
The uk economy is built on migrants from Empire to Now
When we where in the EU they where European now the Tories are shipping them in from Africa and India
Tbh you get what you voted for if you vote Conservative Free Market Global Britain means exactly what it says on the tin unlimited Supply Side Cheap labour
You just described british empire 🤣🤣🤣 Now enjoy.
Weak borders weak home office it’s easy to come here and over stay your visa uk it’s useless people come every day in big numbers
@@bulthaosen1169Still crying about something that happened nearly 80 years ago, Abdul?
The keyword here is _"ILLEGAL"_ which should be put in the description.
That would be untruthful.
Try ask this question to northerners instead of leafy upper class Richmond and you might just get a honest answer.
Asians coming over and having lots of kids is one of the biggest issues. Their values are different. Mostly relating to religion, i mean.
I wonder why so many voted for Brexit ?
Mainly pakistani
I am from India and after listening this people to whom you have interviewed, it seems like they are the most woke people living in UK.
Enough is enough!
600,000 MIGRANTS ! WILL REACH 1 MILLION IN 2023 !
We didn't want any.
In a word. NO we are not happy
We have an UNLECTED, ILLEGAL SQUATTER in Number 10!
But why are they coming? They are urgently needed in their own countries : to build roads, care for the old and sick, Doctors, architects to design and build, on and on. There are billions of job opportunities in their countries, why are they coming?
Maybe they won't come if they don't have to pay higher interest than europe.
Lol there aren't billions of job opportunities. Just because something is needed, doesn't mean there is a job to provide it. That requires money, which many of these countries are low on (plus their leaders are often corrupt). So they are coming for better opportunities. Some may also be fleeing conflict / prosecution.
@@dukesb That not how other countries progress. They use creativity and work. Since time began. And those people are definitely not needed in europe. Take responsibility for your destiny for once please.
What was the point of this?, absolutely nothing can be concluded or even surmised from the opinions of 5 people out of a population of nearly 70 million. If you really want to know if British people are happy with our high levels of immigration then we need to have a national poll or a referendum.
Instead of working to fix longstanding problems in their countries of birth they prefer to migrate their problems to well founded societies were no sooner they landed, they make demands. As western societies have worked to make rules and laws that allow this.
Who is "they"? Vast majority of people remain in their countries, so you know. Only the poorest cross on small boats and they have absolutely no influence to change the problems of their countries.
The poor ones with international dataplans, designer bags and clothes? Alright donkey
Only the poorest cross on small boats? They can afford to pay people traffickers £5000! They can’t be that poor. Many British people would give their right arm to have that sitting around in their bank account!
@@wise5674 I like that you think we have any influence here.
Ain't too keen on diversity in eastern europe. But they think its great for uk.
No they're bloody not.
I am kn favour of immigration says an immigrant. @ 3:30
Absolutely not!! Countries gone to the dogs, I’m afraid it’s gone too far now, and beyond recovery!!
I assume Richmond is a multicultural & diverse place to live. Surly it's not a well to do majority white area
Exactly! What arseholes.
hahahahaha, good one!
That woman saying she’s lucky to be born where she is and others aren’t that lucky.
So why not let the world into the country to give them a chance? What she hasn’t mentioned is how such thing as mass immigration would cause major problems for that country and its people.
The world isn’t full of unicorns and rainbows - life isn’t fare
Instead of replacing us why not train us.
1:25 Man in a so called free country fears he'll be arrested for having a conservative opinion.
It's actually illegal to say racist things in the UK, the UK doesn't have freedom of speech like America so swearing at someone violently or racism depending on severity is illegal
When the majority of the native population are against immigration..... this video "Times Radio" find these people ? Very odd
Im concerned about the people that come here that have absolutely nothing to do with our culture and never will do..I think if this is a democracy we should have a REFERENDUM on it..
Hard pass. People in general are too emotional and to ill informed for referenda. Find a party that supports your view that's willing to take responsibility for their actions and vote for them instead.
It is worrying when I say these things , they are misconstrued . And I am called a racist and I'm not..my beautiful daughter is mixed race, half African . So my gripe is with cultures...and beliefs that do not gel.. I do find alot of these people views are a bit Naive
@@tonylyons7711 Yeah, people aren't going to distinguish like you have. If you get what you want expect to live in a country where you wouldn't have had the chance to live with your wife and kid.
Yeah the people don't even get to choose who's coming into their backyard and in what numbers. Regular people are the most affected, while the elite have more cheap labour
Your "culture" is inherently multi-cultural by virtue of the legacy of imperialism. Lamenting that other cultures exist along side "yours" after generations of interaction between (willing or not) between your country and theirs is rather hypocritical.

I'm pretty sure there would be quite a queue to leave Britain if certain EU countries (like Spain for instance) hadn't tightened up their immigration rules. Unless you're rich then this country is pretty unappealing.

Why are they coming to England? We came to their countries for empire but we left so they shouldn't want to come to England.
Spend my tax
I've a solution. Final solution.
Take a walk through an area where the real people, the hard-up people, the working class people live, and ask them. Going to west London and asking them as they head to Waitrose........
Uk has no control weak borders weak home office people come here as visitors, some as students then over stay look at the number of Nigerians that are coming in the every day uk it’s fast asleep shame Africans are abusing the system
England is no longer England.
A referendum wont stop the boats.
The French should establish an exclusion corridor running about 50.miles from the French coast in which no migrants would be able to remain or access. French armed forces. possibly working with British forces to enforce this.
This is the invasion which concerns most Brits.

How many countries did we colonise again? 🤔
Largely because lots of people know English . . . because we colonised a lot of places . . . .
yebutnobut that's different innit.
@@superhumantrueman Typical lefty Britain-bashing there.
Clearly we colonised those places _because_ they spoke English already.

When We stop meddling/interfering in other countries is the time we can stop taking in the refugees We helped to create
Don't have that chance in life.?!???! ... To benefit from a European society does she mean?... but if they come they won't benefit because eventually it won't be European anymore . The problem is women don't create civilization they bludge and so in their minds we can have ever more bludging and it will still work.... Our massive debt has also led us into these idiotic assumptions. The only other possible meaning her words can have us that she endorses imperialism.
we all should move to Poland now😂
I voted to remain so people across the EU could come and go to meet the employment demands for the counties within it - not a perfect solution but it seemed to work…for example - I lived in france for 3 years and spain for 2 - always worked and paid taxes…..losing our freedom of movement was very sad - and now the normal working man (ie not rich) finds it very difficult to move to france or spain etc we don’t have the flow outwards of people - only compounding the net immigration issue.
now Poland is prospering many Poles who’d moved to western Europe years ago have moved back to their homeland.
The Tories have introduced an uncapped points based system with a minimum salary of £20k! Totally backfired if reducing immigration was the objective. As I understand it removing the cap and reducing the proposed basic salary requirement was Johnson’s policy - idiot
Like you I lived in Europe (Italy) for almost 3 years prior to Brexit, and now can only visit for 90 days out of 180 unless I get a visa, to stay longer, I find this utterly ridiculous, our freedom of movement has been halted, while ever more blow up boats don't have the same restrictions, and we allow them to just keep coming.
I don't see anything bad about the recent migration figures. Splitting the migration into the three major categories: Humanitarian visas, Study visas and Work visas.
Humanitarian visas to Ukrainians, Hong Kongers and Afghans who served the British Embassy - I support. It's anomalous and temporary and I imagine majority of Ukrainians will leave once the conflict is resolved.
Students contribute £42 billion to our economy and ensure the financial viability of our universities. More importantly, they are educated and can speak English so can integrate into society. Less so sure about the ability to bring dependants but the government has already announced plans to restrict this going forward.
Lastly, 58% of the work visas are for people working in the health and social care sectors - sectors that desperately in need of people now to help the British people. 600,000 net migration is far lower than I expected, and we are getting people who contribute to the economy. If the Tories tackle the small boats and the grooming gangs from that religious group, then I will vote for them.
@KJ-js7pi Our universities existed happily long before we turned it into a mass international services industry. However, there are impacts here. Students have to live somewhere, and occupy houses in the private rental sector, or parents buy houses near the universities for their kids to live in and rent out the other rooms. It creates enormous pressure on stock and prices in university towns. Limited provision of halls by the universities compounds the problem. Independent 'Private Halls' have become more common, but they are often very expensive and home students struggle to pay it...I've had this difficulty with both my children. Limited University halls give priority to overseas students, and sometimes 1st or final year domestic students. Home students that dont have wealthier parents really do struggle to make ends meet, end up working hours that make keeping up with demanding study much more difficult and they also pay over the long term a significant portion of the costs. Whilst it is necessary, if 50% of school leavers do go on to university to study, to find a way to fund it, I'm not convinced that its overseas student fees that enable it. In the 80s, 20% went to uni, but we also had night school, and businesses that had better apprenticeship and continued study programmes. Business now depends on taxpayers and students to fund themselves and importing labour, skilled and unskilled, and does not invest adequately itself in the next generation of employees. Overseas students, like anyone else, need housing, healthcare, use transport etc. Whilst universities benefit as an industry, do they take enough responsibility and contribute enough through taxation to be a real net benefit, and if half your population have a degree, does it really uplift the salary prospects as it used to, or do you end up with the wage depressed and still paying a lot of money over your working life for the privilege of not making much difference to your long term prospects anymore?
I would like to see a proper analysis done, not to stop overseas students, but so we really do understand the impacts, costs and benefits for the entire model and see if we do have it right, or whether there are some things we need to tweak.
Just find it hilarious that the people that were complaining about immigration and the EU during brexit are the ones now complaining about immigration outside of European counties . The Tories have done a shambolic job of even controlling migration which is one of the few things we could have had total control post brexit. I enjoy diversity and different cultures and honestly don’t mind where this immigration comes from . But ultimately the funniest thing is you cut yourself off from the Europe which has more in common and culture similarities to the uk and you will need to fill the gap with other continents. And some of those really won’t be similar . And those are the brexiters that will complain that there are too many “clearly very visually different looking people “ in our country . They basically have voted for their their small minded reasons and got the worst outcome for them. 😂🤡👍
Well you got it so so wrong hahaha.
They don’t look good? Aesthetic difficulties? Wow it surprises me in 21st century that these remarks are still being made
I find fascinating how some of them dont realize that the economy and companies can not stop when the local popularion stop making enough babies. They need more workers.

IRAQ MIGRANTS WORKING AND GETTING FREE HOTELS AND FOOD
Brexit took away our own right to freely live work and retire in EU countries, so six years on if the result of Brexit is record numbers of immigrants, can we rejoin the EU and get our own freedom of movement back please. 😉
That’s a “right to freely live work and retire in EU countries” whether you add value or not…
We need immigrants to work in all these jobs that pay less than our indigenous working class will accept.
why ? shouldn't we be making those jobs more attractive to the working class ? why the return to the victorian workhouses and servants
@@Foxingban I agree. But I was being sarcastic.

Diversity has proven to not be a plus, quite the opposite, and all this will only get worse as Europe is having mass immigraton forced upon it's people.

But there are illegal immigrants - and it's a problem.
They live free in hotels while we are poorer and have higher costs of living
@@jarogniewtheconqueror2804 They live in hotels because the tories aren't processing them fast enough. They don't process them fast enough so they can get people worked up and distract them from the endless list of tory crimes and scandals.
@@user-ti9jr9qq9d That's called a Straw man argument because you twisted what the original point was; obviously immigration policy for a country has got nothing to do with some guy's house or food, the two things are like apples and oranges!
@@user-ti9jr9qq9d Yeah, I guess it was too much to hope for that you'd understand basic logic and rational arguments.
I think it's a disgrace that people fleeing wars and extreme poverty risk their lives to come to Europe and are turned away. I think Europe is on the wrong side of history with this and for sure, there will come a time when Europeans would seek to emigrate (due to future wars, climate change, declining economy ,etc) - these stories provide fodder for the rest of the world to be hostile towards them and not be so eager to help out.
Muppet. You dont flee and leave all the women and children behind like the channel migrants do. They are all men, who fights wars? I’ll leave your two brain cells to fight it out
I dont think its the real solution here. Maybe look at why they are fleeing in mass and question the motives for these wars and you will see we arent largely responsible for insidious schemes plotted by the private sector. But no suprise there. The rhetoric is the public should bear the burden... well quelle suprise
Why don't they stay in their own countries and try to improve them?
@@nativetexanful this is a childish way to look at migration. Humans have always migrated and never stayed to "improve their own countries/birthplace". I'm sure the story is the same with your ancestors
@@wise5674 Muslims aren't migrating to Europe to improve themselves anyway. They are trying to destroy European culture and force everybody to convert to Islam or be killed. The way things are going in about 50 years in most European countries the native people will be a minority in their own countries. The Muslims will persecute or exterminate the native people. The Muslims even admit this. They don't even try to hide it.
As a conservative I feel more comfortable living among immigrants in a multi cultural society than with the indigenous underclass.
Someone on another similarly related RUclips video topic has claimed that this country has no indigenous people. Clearly someone is wrong.
@phampshire6864 I've lived elsewhere in the world over my lifetime, I think migration can be positive or negative depending on how its managed. You have to be able to keep up with speed and capacity for infrastructure and services. You also have to be mindful of the serious damage that can happen to other countries when they lose up to 20% of their population, just like too fast growth can put pressure on resources in countries.
I would suggest though, as a Conservative, you should be asking yourself what conditions are your policies responsible for in terms of creating the 'underclass' you have such contempt for. What's your policy on schools, education, encouraging business to train and invest in the workforce and R&D, creating enough training places for doctors, teachers, nurses, business committing to localities instead of getting tax and investment breaks and then moving elsewhere. What have you done to replace the industry that was stripped from communities when mining was shut down so coal could be shipped from half way across the world instead? Why did you preside over the devastation of our nuclear power industry? Why did you create such appalling distortions in our economy to make it so services dependent? Why bemoan our own industry without acknowledging the enormous amount of state support business gets in other countries compared to UK business? Why did the conservatives flog ALL UK fishing licences and quota on the open market internationally nstead of protecting UK fishing industry, as other countries did in the EEC/EU?
So, I ask you, how much are you responsible for very, very bad policy that has created an 'underclass'?
I'm equally critical of Labour policy that consolidated the problems. What disgusts me from all parties is bad policy, what appalls me even more is your contempt for people who have taken the brunt of it.
@@shelleyphilcox4743 : As a member of P Hampshire's despised underclass I can only thank you for your comment which is way more clear and articulate than i could have managed.

First batch of people they need to kick out is the Hong Kong BNO holders. I heard it on some of the social media that once they've been granted the British Citizenship in a few years time, they'd squeeze as much out from the UK benefits system. Is this the sort of people we want in our country ?
The Chinese ethnic group is the least likely group to receive any state support from the British government by a very large margin.
These people work hard, they're not parasites
The BNO's are wealthy. They are bringing in money into the UK economy. Unlike the illegal immigrants that have nothing but to take advantage of the UK.
