[00:00:00]Nigel Farage gets in, I will not be surprised if there's going to be a whole lot of us leaving UK because we'll probably be asked to show our papers.

[00:00:11]Things are going to get worse. We can see we can see what the way the wind is blowing. I mean, I've got my passport ready and a lot of us think we're going to be retired. We're going to leave the UK. But it's >> if becomes prime minister, you will leave.

[00:00:25]>> Well, I'm already planning. There's a lot of us who are planning who already building their houses in the Caribbean.

[00:00:32]>> Just to be clear, just to be really clear, Jo, that's because you feel that if he becomes prime minister and reform forms the government, this country will become unbearably and in intoler intolerably um racist towards people like yourself.

[00:00:46]>> Yes. But with the migrant boats crossings, some people get confused between immigrants, legal immigrants, cuz my parents were legal immigrants, not migrants, immigrants, and migrants who come on the boats. And a lot of people mix between the two and they see like the boats on the telly and they think that people like me came on those boats.

[00:01:11]>> That you that you or at least your family are illegal immigrants in when opposite is very much true. When you say it's it's getting worse or it's got worse, what I mean what sort of things have you experienced in that regard, Joan?

[00:01:22]>> A lot of people now in my age group, we're tired. We've been through all this before. Some are even telling their children and their grandchildren what their grandchildren are going through now what we went through when we were children.

[00:01:36]>> We thought we'd got past it. We thought we'd moved on. He thought we'd progressed.
