Africa, from the Philippines, from South Africa, India, Pakistan, and so on. It's incredible stew in great multiracial, multicultural society. But one of the things you become aware of, certainly in these British hospitals, is is our dependence in Britain on immigration and on other races. The place, the hospitals, none of it.

It wouldn't function at all without immigration, even recent immigration, to be honest. There were a lot of people who had recently come from the Philippines. people who come from Africa and so on. And I began to realize that since we had Brexit, which was the breakup with Europe, that we were now importing people from other parts of the world in order to run the NHS.

Yeah, that's indeed, yeah.

It's a terrible dilemma, really, for Britain, because originally our country was almost entirely dependent on the empire. Before 1945, Britain had this huge worldwide empire from which most of its wealth was derived. And now, as a smaller society, we're entirely dependent on immigrants in order to look after our a slowly aging population.

And if you saw the hospitals and the care homes and the transport system and so on here, you'd see it's entirely run by immigrants. But of course, it's hated, that dependency by people and they wish to end it. to go back to being an entirely Caucasian society. But that can't happen.

And so there's a kind of deadlock in British society between those who want to hate immigrants and the rest of us who realise that without immigrants, the NHS, for instance, would break down. It just wouldn't work at all. The NHS and our social system is understaffed as it is.

The nurses and doctors in the hospitals in which I spent a year were complaining all the time about they didn't have enough people to work there. So this is a real deadlock and a real problem because it's really fun to hate on immigrants. People really enjoy it. They're the one group of people in society that you can hate.
