On the flagship BBC politics show Question Time last night , filmed in London, immigration minister Robert Jenrick defended the new immigration plan as “legal, fair and moral”.
The claim has been destroyed in a new video by Peter Stefanovic.
However, this audience member also took umbrage at the position, arguing the move is “illegal, impractical and inhumane”.
The audience member said: “It’s actually not about whether it’s going to work or not, because as stupid as Suella Braverman does sound when she uses words like ‘blob’ or ‘wokerati’ or whatever nonsense she wants to spout, that’s not what they’re trying to do.
“This isn’t even about the actual scheme itself. They’re forecasting to the next election. They can’t run on their governing record, there’s sewage in the rivers, inflation is through the roof, living standards are beyond the floor.
Don’t pay tax
“They can’t run on individuals or personalities. They have ex-chancellors who don’t pay tax. They have another ex-chancellor who knew the currency was going to run, so he told his former employers to bet against it.
“So what do they have left? What they have left is division and this is all this policy is about. They are trying to sow division by casting it as us, the people in Britain, against people who want to come here. And it’s really sad.
“I have faith that people are not are not going to buy it … this also just fundamentally betrays that the conservatives don’t think the way that we do because we think compassionately.”
Peter shared his new video and wrote: “The Governments immigration minister Robert Jenrick just told @bbcquestiontime audience it’s Illegal Migration Bill is “legal, fair & moral” That’s absolute boll**** & he knows it! Why did #BBCQT not invite a lawyer on tonight’s show like @crimlawuk!”
He then shared it again and wrote: “THIS GOVERNMENT IS LYING.”
