Tensions boil over on GB News as Dawn Neesom clashes with Labour MP Barry Gardiner during a heated debate over the government's approach to illegal migration and controversial plans for a proposed migrant detention centre in Piddington. The fiery exchange sees accusations of "patronising" fly back and forth, with Dawn repeatedly challenging Gardiner's arguments as the discussion becomes increasingly confrontational.
The debate comes as concerns continue to grow among residents in Piddington over proposals to build a migrant detention centre in their village. Conservative MP Joy Morrissey reacts to the government's decision not to cancel the plans, arguing that local families' fears are being ignored. She says many parents are worried about the impact on their community, insisting that "these mothers don't want their daughters to be raped or molested," as she voices the concerns being raised by some residents.
A heated debate regarding the planned construction of a migration camp for 1,250 undocumented men in the village of Piddington. The discussion focuses on the fears of local residents, specifically children, the impact on community safety and character, and the political struggle over illegal migration and deportation policies in the UK.
We're three adults, well I kind of, sorry, I kind of include myself in that, sitting talking about
this, but last night on Patrick's show we broke the exclusive about the village of Piddington,
tiny little village, 250 population there, 46 kids live there and the migration camp that
were going to be built on the Dongle Strip, 1,250 undocumented young men free to roam in this
village and the kids of this village actually wrote to the Prime Minister. Shall we have a
look or a listen to what these children had to say? To Andy Burnham, I like my village exactly
how it is and I don't want it to be changed. Dear Prime Minister, I love the park in Piddington.
And Andy, there was one heartbreaking letter from seven-year-old Rex who wrote,
Dear Andy, to the Prime Minister, we like our village because I and my family walked down to
my sister's grave to see her. I worry I won't be able to do that anymore. My family has lived here
for over 100 years. These are children, we're talking about their future, Barry, we're not
talking about our futures. We're, I mean, a present company except Joy is younger than both of us,
Barry, but these children's futures, the kids, they're 7, 9, 11 years old, they're worried about
their future and I honestly do not see anything being done about it. You keep quoting figures to
me. Okay, net migration is down. The point of a news program, Dawn, is to impart facts. You're
patronising me by saying you quote figures. Because you're not giving me honest figures,
are you? I am giving you the honest figures. You're talking about net migration, we're talking
about illegal migration. These kids are worried about the young men coming across the Channel
in these boats. Women and girls are worried about these men coming across the Channel.
Let's talk about the children because you know as well as I do that children don't
just write to the Prime Minister. What happens is adults, and I saw the piece where the parents
explained, and the mother was very good, she explained that they had tried to do it in an
age-appropriate way to tell the children about what they feared and what was going to happen
but I don't think actually it's right to use children in that way. You think the children
were being used by their parents to make political point? What I'm saying is I don't think it's right
to get your children to write to the Prime Minister about an issue which is of real concern
to you because obviously they are influenced by what the parents say. Now as I say, give the
mother credit, she did it in an age-appropriate way but you know that the children don't have
full possession of the facts. I think that's incredibly factual because I had a similar situation.

right next to a school and the children were terrified. The children, when I would go and speak
to the school, they would tell me when they saw somebody sleeping rough or they noticed
everything. And you know what? These mothers don't want their daughters to be raped or molested.
A bunch of young men coming near a school, 100% I agree with them. I fought tooth and nail to
stop that migration accommodation coming in because it was right near a school. My residents didn't
want it. I fought it every inch of the way. I said we don't have the ability to take them in.
You're denying social housing to people who have been here their whole lives, who should be getting
that social housing. That should go to hard working British people who've been waiting for
that social housing their whole lives. But no, it's going to go to a bunch of migrants. Those
children are absolutely right. They want to protect their way of life. That's what I was
fighting for in Farnham Common to stop the accommodation coming in. And it's right that
they protect their schools, that they protect their children. I want to protect children walking
home, playing in the garden, going to see the grave of their child, of their brother.
Those 1250 people at the moment, they're already in our communities. They may not be in your
community, certainly in my community. I have hotels in my constituency where asylum seekers
are currently. And the government is trying to do what it's promised to do, what this programme
demanded the government did, which was to get them out of hotel accommodation. That's what
we're doing by putting them into ex-army barracks. Now, you now say, well, you can't possibly put
a thousand men into what was an army barracks, which, of course, originally would have housed
a thousand men. Some of these men are coming from places like Afghanistan where they treat
women like vermin. They treat them, they rape them. And how are we going to combat that? Are
we just going to roll over for the sake of multiculturalism and say it's fine that our
children are raped, that they don't feel safe walking home from school? What is the breaking
point? Also, we need to deal with the situation. If someone commits a crime and you're a foreign
national, you need to be deported. There's none of this, oh, you're taking up prison space. You
just need to go. And we have allowed this kind of insane level of, oh, let's just put everybody in.
Everyone will be fine. There's parts of London that are happy and diverse, but there are other
parts of the UK that have never had any diversity. And thrusting this upon them will ruin the whole
character of the area. The actual people will be cast aside. I get it, Joy. I get it. It's all
right for my constituents, but it's not all right for yours. That's what you're saying.
I'm saying that my constituents, my children in the schools that attend those schools,
they were afraid because they didn't want to have a bunch of migrant men lurking around the school,
harassing the children, harassing the girls. I don't want to have to tell a mother that her
child was raped because we had to allow a migrant accommodation. I never want to have that. I would
rather fight this tooth and nail to the end to make sure that that's not in my area.
So let me just ask you this.
These are not migrants. These are not family refugees. These are not groups of families
fleeing war-torn areas. This is migrant men. Men.
Yep. Very quickly.
Sorry.
These are people who have not yet been processed through the system,
because of the failures of your government.
No, this is why the Conservatives want to make it illegal to claim asylum,
if you come here illegally, to stop this.
If you were the government now, how would you be able to put people back to the country they
came from immediately, as you say, within a week? You couldn't do it unless you had the
cooperation of the other states. That's why the Home Secretary...
Even Germany, Barry, which is part of the EU, is managing to put illegal migrants on planes
and fly them back to Afghanistan.
Sorry. This Home Secretary has actually concluded a number of agreements with other
countries to be able to deport people. I want to see her do more, but you have to do it with
cooperation. If you don't actually have that, you can't get those people back to the country
that you want.
Right.
At the moment, you don't have the ability to do it.
Hence the reason we want to leave the ECHR and we want to revoke the Human Rights Act,
because we need to be able to protect our borders, protect our citizens.
Japan is protecting its citizens, Singapore, many, many, many countries.
And actually, the reason Spain could take so many to Morocco is they're not part of the EU
Schengen Agreement. They're not part of the same agreement.
So, you know, they were able to strong arm taking everybody back.
We need to be able to protect our borders. We need to be able to put our citizens first.
Okay, right.
