Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 3rd of January 2025. I had to look down to make sure that was right because it's a new year. It's the first podcast I've hosted and the first one I've been on since. And today I'm joined by Bo and Harry. Hello. And we're going to be talking about a new way to understand legal migration.

Elon Musk's meltdown over H-1B visas and whether X, formerly Twitter, is in danger.

And I also have an announcement to make and that is the Gold-tier Zoom call is going ahead

at 3pm UK time.

And so if you want to talk to Carl, who I'm assured is going to be on this one.

I think also you and I are on it, aren't we?

Yes.

And so if you want to talk to us, for whatever reason, come along.

But anyway, you're really selling it to them there.

Well, they want to talk to Carl. They don't want to talk to me. I know that much.

Josh just wants to scroll his Twitter, that's all.

No one wants to talk to me.

Now they're going to ask me questions out of sympathy. I don't need your pity.

No, you do. He does. He does. I actually do.

He's a very sorry person.

He is correct. Starting off the new year very positively.

But anyway, so recently some figures came out about illegal migration in the UK, and I'm going to

use this not only as a means of talking about the nature of illegal migration

across all different northern hemisphere countries, because let's be honest, it's not going on in

the southern hemisphere because no one's to live there, maybe other than Australia, of course,

and New Zealand. With those exceptions aside, I have spotted a trend, and I think it's a very

useful way of understanding illegal migration.
