So much to talk about, be it the royal scandal, be it the Chegos Islands, be it the announcement by reform later, about 300,000 illegal immigrants. They guarantee if they're elected will be deported yearly. Zia Yusuf doing that at 11 right now. He's actually on the line. Nigel Farage, good morning, sir. How are you? Good morning. Very well. Thank you. Good to have you on. Can we start with Chegos? Extraordinary footage of you at the weekend and your polo shirt out there in the Chegos. And it wasn't lost on me that you can't get into a British territory, but you can come to this country illegally and get in and basically get a hotel room. What's wrong with us all then? We've got it

0:38.6

around the wrong way, Nigel. Well, I suppose at least Starmer has stopped one boat,

0:42.4

hasn't he? I mean, it was quite extraordinary. I went out to the Maldives. I was tasked,

0:50.9

asked whether I would take some very important equipment, which I was more than happy to do.

0:56.3

I then had intended to go down to Ildecois, which has now been settled for a week by those four Chagosians,

1:06.1

and I wanted to go and see them and find out just how they were getting on.

1:10.5

There was almost hysterical intervention from the British government, the British High Commissioner.

1:18.0

They were desperate to know where I was in the Maltese.

1:21.5

They couldn't find me.

1:23.4

They were out hunting for me, but I managed to stay just about undercover. But basically,

1:29.1

the British government said to the Moldavian government, you must stop this man from leaving

1:33.8

on a boat with the intention of heading towards J. Goss. And I am a British citizen. This is

1:40.3

British territory. I also just happened to be an MP, I'm a leader of a political party.

1:47.0

I mean, the whole thing is unbelievable.

1:50.8

And we have four guys on that island who need more supplies.

1:56.0

They were only landed with the very basics.

1:58.9

And it seems the British government is making that as difficult as it

2:02.1

possibly can. And think about this. Michelle Mandarin, he's in his 70s. When he was 14 years old,

2:09.3

he was forcibly removed from that island, dumped on the quayside down in Mauritius. He had to live from food scraps out of bins. If it hadn't

2:21.9

been for the Catholic Church, hundreds of them would probably have died. He is now, in his

2:26.8

70s, back on the island, his homeland. He was visiting graves yesterday of his family, of his ancestors, and he faces, potentially, for the second time in his lifetime, being evicted from his homeland by a Labour government. And you know what really gets me, Jeremy? This government is full of human rights lawyers. It's surrounded on the outside, too, by human rights lawyers. They bang on about this all the time. Well, what about the human rights of black Georgians? For some reason, they don't seem to count. Somebody said, I couldn't agree more, but somebody said, you know me, I've got to give both sides. The Chegos Islands is a military base. That is why, this is what I hear from sources, that is why Nigel Farage was denied entry. Well, that would be okay if where we were going to was close to Diego Garcia. Now, there is absolutely no doubt that Diego Garcia is America's most important military base in the world

3:25.2

outside of mainland America. But try this. Ildecois is over 120 miles away from Diego Garcia.
