But in a way, Tommy Robinson, who has a big following in America, the way he talks about it is not something I recognize.

Having said that, as I've always said about him, there are issues that he's raised which are perfectly legitimate.

The biggest one is population.

In the 50s, we had a population of just under 50 million people.

And a lot of the infrastructure, like the National Health Service, the NHS, once lauded as the greatest health system in the world, now has to do with a population of nearly 70 million.

That is a dramatic increase in the volume of people in this country.

And the simple truth right now is our public services are creaking at the seams

And in some cases, like the NHS, pretty well at breaking point.

And that is why there is so much agitation about the simultaneous ongoing issues with immigration.

Both illegal, with this ridiculous farce of these small boats popping up on the south coast from a channel from France.

All the time, when the weather's good, they just stream in hundreds, sometimes thousands a week illegally into the country.

But also legal migration and how we've abjectly mishandled that since really the turn of the century.

You can chart it back to the Tony Blair years when they pretty well opened the gates to everyone in Eastern Europe.

Way too many people came in way too fast.

And then after that, there's just been a complete lack of any form of control.

And we now have a situation where they've had to try and put the brakes on legal migration coming in because two years ago we had a net migration in this country of nearly a million people.

Now, it's not racist, as some people have tried to brand it, to say that that is alarming.

A country like ours, if you don't have an effective border, if you have 50,000, 60,000 people a year coming in as they are illegally on these boats, and then you have a net migration of legal migrants coming in of nearly a million people, the already crumbling infrastructure is going to come under, obviously, enormously higher pressure.

So it's been a series of governments, left and right, I have to say,

starting with the Blair government, with what they did with Eastern Europe, and then coming forward to successive conservative governments, and now the current Labour government, all of whom, in my opinion, have handled this so badly that inevitably we now have a lot of people in the country going, what the hell is going on?
