00:00yes we will end the asylum system for up to five years a country that does everything it can
00:07to protect its own citizens and a country that detains and deports people that come illegally
00:14as virtually every other country in the world does and indeed as we used to do in fact it's
00:22extraordinary that under the last labor government leading up to the 2010 general election very often
00:29the deportation numbers of 40 to 50 000 people a year that was normal that was rational that was
00:38sensible that was the way that things had always been done so the public want action not just a
00:47continual series of false promises or the absolutely extraordinary current government line well the
00:55numbers are coming down so that's okay then it's only 20 000 this year so that's okay then if i
01:02said

01:23we will end the asylum system for up to five years and why are we going to do that because
01:30we're in the
01:31most terrible mess as a country we literally have no idea who is here and we frankly can't afford to
01:40take the risk it's not as if we've been ungenerous over the course of the last decade indeed since the
01:48brexit vote half a million people have been given asylum here that is higher than virtually any other
01:55country in the world but we have to end this asylum scam and we have to end this racket
