This Carbon Capture and storage. This after the pm announced plans to grant hundreds of new oil and gas licences here in the uk. Grant shapps says we will still meet net zero targets. Despite that pledge. I think everyone supports this countrys transition to net zero, but you cannot get there by telling people were simply going to stop , stop using oil and gas. Stop, stop using oil and gas. Well, at the only way to do that would be to tell people, dont put your gas boiler on, dont put your gas boiler on, dont drive a petrol car and do that almost instantaneously unless you do that. What youre really saying is, oh, were not going to our oil and gas going to dig our own oil and gas , import it instead. And , well import it instead.

Patrick well, i dont know about you , but i absolutely refuse to believe that illegal channel migrants are actively hiring lawyers to block them. Being put on the bibby stockholm barge. Lawyers representing people who have received transfer notices in hotels have sent a volley of legal letters to the government, arguing that the barge is unsuitable for them. Whos paying unsuitable for them. Whos paying for these lawyers . Is it Charity Groups like care for calais . I mean, their website says that they help with access to legal support. Is it the taxpayer lawyers who will take on those cases . Because they know that there is a decent chance of success . That is the way that our legal system is set up. Unfortunately but why is there such a decent chance of success . Are they honest or are they lying to get false claims through . Well lets have a little look at who some of these lawyers are. Shall we . The solicitors watchdog has just closed three law firms that were submitting false asylum claims in return for wads of cash. Some of these lawyers were offering fake doctors notes show fake doctors notes to show evidence of psychological trauma apart urgently, some Illegal Migrants are claiming that they cant go on the barge because theyve suffered trauma at sea. Well, im sorry, but this isnt the kind of claim that you would get from a genuine Asylum Seeker. In my view, this is lawyers getting hold of a situation and spinning it. Well, why . Why would they do that . Could it be money . Well, one legal eagle caught up in a mail sting operation reportedly owns a multi Million Pound property empire with his wife, drives a bmw with a private reg on it, and sent his son to eton. So there is serious money in this, isnt there . Lets have a little isnt there . Lets have a little look at the other hold up today , too. The bibby barge, shall we . The Fire Brigades Union says its a disaster zone waiting to happen. Interesting did you know that the Fire Brigades Union is affiliated to the labour party . They re affiliated with it. When Jeremy Corbyn became labour leader. Apparently. Is there opposition to down political activism now . I am sick and activism now . I am sick and tired of the delays with the bibby stockholm. I can only imagine how rishi and suella feel when everything they try to do held up by what some do is held up by what some people might wonder could be a radical. Spiders web of left leaning political activists and financial legal charlatans. I financial legal charlatans. I think its time to go over their heads. Think its time to go over their heads. The sas needs to be heads. The sas needs to be deployed to take out these Human Trafficking gangs. That is one war that i wouldnt mind the taxpayers supporting. Its also time to actually stop the boats. And by that i mean stopping lorries loads of reinforced inflatable dinghies. Somehow, miraculously making their way across the entire continent of europe before getting to calais. How difficult is it really to stop them being manufactured . Stop them being manufactured . Should we say that we want to be world leading in everything . Dont we . Well, why dont we do the world a favour and be world leading in destroying Human Trafficking gangs. Trafficking gangs. Vaiews gbnews. Com. Im going to be taking a long, hard look at this situation today yet again. We woke up to another delay to the barge. The bibby stockholm barge. Didnt we . Im sick of it. Didnt we . Im just sick of it. Im sick of it. Mean, itll be im sick of it. I mean, itll be miraculous if anyone ever actually gets on that boat. I think , at this point. So im think, at this point. So im going having a look at why going to be having a look at why there of hold there are some of these hold ups. But assuming that everything being ups. But assuming that everythi as being ups. But assuming that everythi as well being ups. But assuming that everythi as well , being ups. But assuming that everythi as well, is being ups. But assuming that everythi as well, is it being ups. But assuming that everythi as well, is it time eing ups. But assuming that everythi as well, is it time t0|g blocked as well, is it time to go over the heads of people and start sending in the sas to crack down on these Human Trafficking gangs . Everybody seems to be against the Human Trafficking. Gangs dont they . Laboun trafficking. Gangs dont they . Labour, the lib dems. So surely we will very little we there will be very little opposition actually sending opposition to actually sending in military to go and slot in our military to go and slot them. As well them. What about as well actually physically stopping the manufacturing movements manufacturing and the movements of these boats the amount of of these boats for the amount of money in compensation you would have pay me to stop the have to pay me to stop the People Manufacturing these boats from doing so. Surely that would just a drop in the ocean just be a drop in the ocean compared are paying compared to what we are paying for people get those for the people who get on those boats come britain. But boats and come to britain. But im joined in the studio right now white, who of now by mark white, who is, of course, security course, our home and security edhon course, our home and security editor. Mark, i want to talk editor. And mark, i want to talk about something i mentioned a couple of minutes actually. Couple of minutes ago, actually. Obviously, be deployed on needed to be deployed on the human gangs. Can Human Trafficking gangs. We can start with that. I know that youve also been a bit youve also been doing a bit of digging this digging around into this allegation a certain left allegation of a certain left wing upon recently wing influences upon recently holding up with our asylum system. I think theres certainly some real concern in government circles that there is a push, a concerted push by groups on the left to do all they can to stop the governments plans to move Asylum Seekers away from hotels at a cost of. £6 million a day. At a cost of. £6 million a day. And then to more centralised , and then to more centralised, more basic accommodation likes of barges like the bibby stockholm or indeed the former military bases at wethersfield and scampton. Because really at and scampton. Because really at every attempt to do this, there is another push either by, of course, Fire Brigades Union. One of the latest now to come out and say that this is a death trap, that the government is being highly irresponsible here. Also concerns from charities, from lawyers , as those from lawyers, as those representing migrant groups say , saying that the bibby stockholm is just too dangerous to be able to house these us migrants. Now, ive been on board. I was on board just recently, taken on a tour of the bibby stockholm in terms of the conditions inside , it is conditions inside, it is perfectly comfortable. The perfectly comfortable. The various cabins are roomy. The bafic various cabins are roomy. The basic level of decoration in. But you know, theres en suite bathrooms, theres storage for clothing and the like. Theyve clothing and the like. Theyve got more amenities than you get in hotels in terms of there being a tv recreation room , being a tv recreation room, gyms, computer rooms, outside areas, you just come across the channel. Mark if you just come across the channel and you just come from various different Asylum Seeker hellhole hotspots on the continent, and youd had the french authorities ripping down your tent in the calais jungle or dunkirk and you cram yourself onto one of these boats despite, of course, suffering massive trauma at sea. And then you land in the uk and someone says to you, do you want to spend a bit of time on this barge . You would say, yes, i am. Convince that this is not the Asylum Seekers of their own volition. Now stoking up these legal claims. Yeah, and youre seeing it literally at every turn in terms of what the government is trying to do to move away from Hotel Accommodation and to try to centralise them either on the barge or the bases or the plan that was announced just a few days ago with regard to getting these marquees that could potentially house up to 2000 people again , people were people again, people were outraged by that , describing it outraged by that, describing it as concentration camp type conditions. But yet the united nafions conditions. But yet the United Nations high commissioner for refugees, the charities themselves use these very tents and tents that are probably not as highly you know, the specifications are not as high as the ones that are to going use in manston. The government. And theyre never meant to be long Term Accommodation like they are in jordan or turkey , they are in jordan or turkey, where theyve been for ten years, living in these tents. Theyre only there for a few weeks. Exactly. Look, mark, thank you very, very much. Mark white there. Insecurity editor. There. Home insecurity editor. We are going to be discussing that throughout the course of this show. The bibby barge, the fire hazard , the fire brigade fire hazard, the Fire Brigade Union with their union coming out with their affiliated to the labour party is motivation affiliated to the labour party is we motivation affiliated to the labour party is we have motivation affiliated to the labour party is we have just itivation affiliated to the labour party is we have just seen on affiliated to the labour party is we have just seen a there. We have just seen a recent sting operation by the daily mail actually, which revealed categorically that there is a cash in hand Cottage Industry going on from certain law firms where they will basically try to blag peoples asylum claims and they will do so very successfully. One chap was filmed boasting that hes managed to get a 90 success rate. You would of course have to slip him ten grand, which again is have you got ten grand going . Spare do these people sound like genuine Asylum Seekers . Were going to be having at some of having a look at some of the behind the scenes, spiders behind the scenes, the spiders web of political and financial and leaning lawyers and and left leaning lawyers and activists.
