Why does the Left Promote Mass Immigration？

Time Text
You've got to shake the right hand, I'm afraid.
Make sure you haven't got a sword.
Oh, yeah, no problem, yeah, sorry.
Basically, my question is, why is it do you think the left seems to be averse to immigration control or, you know, in many cases they like open borders or favour open borders?
What do you think that is and how can we sort of like you know fight against that?
I think it comes from a philosophical conviction that they have that any kind of boundaries are a form of oppression.
Right, okay.
And I don't believe that's true.
No.
I mean, you'd have to be a lunatic like Jeremy Corbyn to believe something like that.
Well, you have to have, like...
I think it's far simpler than that.
Okay, go on.
There is...
There is an unholy alliance between big business and the left.
So big business wants mass immigration because they can keep down wages, maximise profits.
And I think most people, apart from me who's a small G Green, are actually small C conservatives that actually they want to go out, earn a bit of money, put something by for a rainy day, start a family, have children, and the rest of it.
So what happens is that you'll find that the first generation of migrants are often labor voters.
But once they get invested in the system, they probably look elsewhere for voters.
So the left need to just keep importing voters, otherwise they won't get elected again.
That's what I think, yeah.
I mean, and this was alleged in the biography about Tony Blair, wasn't it?
He specifically introduced open borders in order to get a voting base.
But I mean, philosophically.
I was going to go to that point, actually.
But philosophically, not just on political policy, because I think that we're talking on different levels here.
But I do think that they genuinely think that any kind of boundaries that are set from without are a form of oppression.
They think that you should from within set all of your boundaries.
And I mean, don't get me wrong, that sounds nice, but it's also wildly unrealistic.
That's just the world just doesn't work that way.
Well, it just sounds crazy, to be honest.
It just sounds like the policies that someone would make if they don't want the country to exist anymore, I guess.
I don't know.
Well, of course, they hate nation states.
They hate the idea of a nation state.
They don't like the fact that these things exist because they consider them a form of supremacy.
And I'm sure you've been told enough times how much you're an X, Y, or Z.
It's genuinely the way they think.
And it's because they hold a different set of axioms before they build any kind of worldview on that.
A lot of them don't even realise.
They don't realize that there are people who think that countries are a good thing.
They should exist.
That people have a right to be what they are.
They don't think that.
And I don't think they take into account the kind of social fabric of the society, the general culture and the way people are and stuff like that.
I just don't think they take that into account.
And what we have in the country, we are a very high trust society.
I mean, I remember you saying that quite a lot on your channel.
And I think if we import a lot of people from countries with different cultures, maybe, I don't know.
Look at the Middle Eastern cultures.
They're clearly very low trust societies.
Exactly.
They've got very, very strict social rules.
Women often have to be covered up.
These are not high trust societies.
They're not like our society.
They operate in different ways.
They have extremely socially conservative mores.
So it will be acceptable and expected.
A friend of mine went out to Saudi Arabia.
He was 16 years old with his parents, dad in the military, right?
They literally got off the plane and it was the weirdest thing.
I couldn't believe this when he told me the story.
He got off the plane with his mum and dad and he's walking along and literally just some random guy off the street came up to his dad and was like, control your woman.
Her hair is on display.
And he was just like, yeah, exactly.
But it was just some rando on the street.
He was no one with any authority.
He wasn't part of the muttaween or something.
He knew that he had a social duty to enforce this because it's a completely different culture.
It's a different way of looking at the world.
And everyone around would have cheered.
You know, like, good, yeah, control that woman, you know.
And that's not how this society is.
One more genteel, frankly.
And, you know, I want to maintain that, you know.
Like, so obviously, we need to give people time to integrate and have lower numbers, you know, and make it more gradual.
You can do things.
Exactly.
You can make it a more gradual process.
Yeah.
And, you know, you're talking about you being a small G Green earlier.
Like, what I don't get is the Green Party are basically open borders as well.
And surely it's not a good thing, you know, if you're a Green or care about the environment, if you want to, you know, like build more houses.
Well, the Greens are a bit of a watermelon.
They're green on the outside, but red on the inside.
That's actually a communist front, and that's what's happening.
That's very good.
Yeah.
No, I couldn't agree with that more.
You notice how the way they approach any kind of climate activism is always from a position where they blame humans.
Yes.
Exactly.
And so it's a kind of self-hatred, a kind of self-flagellation.
It's the same with Labour Party, with everything they do.
Every social problem is caused by the fact that we're bad people.
I'm sick of this perspective.
Well, come and talk to me then.
Come and talk to me.
I would love to talk to you about this.
We've got a queue here.
Would you like to talk?
Literally, that's why we're here.
We're here to talk to people who don't understand.
We don't know why you think the way you think.
And we'd like you to tell us.
Because we might be wrong.
You can tell us.
We might be wrong.
Don't just shout from the margins.
Come and speak to us.
We're open for dialogue.
We're completely open about this.
Don't get shy either.
Everyone wants to hear your opinion.
That's why we're here, I promise.
But it really is.
Look at the way that the Labour Party is.
They actually approach things as if Britain is a bad country.
That's the position they start from before they do anything.
And that's why Jeremy Corbyn is such a disappointment.
Because you know that his inspiration, Tony Benn, he didn't think that.
He didn't think Britain was a bad thing.
He thought Britain was a good thing that could be improved.
Well, he was a patriot, wasn't he?
Exactly.
He was a patriot, you know, and you can hear this.
And Peter Shaw.
Absolutely.
And the Labour Party has really lost its way.
And I really want to talk to those people about that.
Sorry to interrupt there.
That's all right, no problem.
Was there anything else we want to go over?
Well, I did have a question.
It's escaped me now.
I can't remember.
Anyway, thank you very much.
Oh, well, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Have a nice day then.
