US streamers are using UK downfall protests as an entire content niche. Now, that can't be a good sign. It's a rich vein from which to mine. I mean, look, the the the the downfall of the k the UK, the death of the UK is greatly exaggerated, but it is happening. Uh and it's not downfall, actually.

might well be the sign of a recovery in the sense that you're starting to see people going on the street, they're being peaceful, which is really important, because the moment you you're not peaceful, that will immediately get used to discredit the entire thing. And then you can see it changing the political consensus in real time. So a lot of the discussion is about illegal immigration. um controversial term because actually it turns out this is part of why we're where where we are coming to this country without permission is not actually illegal okay explain that to me so if you come into the country and say I'm an asylum seeker I would like asylum you're not an illegal immigrant you're like a Cuban or a Venezuelan arriving at the American border or whatever but if I mean in America it is illegal, right? No.

I think. I thought that when you got there you just needed to go on. With the point being, maybe it's also true in America, uh so until 2000 uh, 2023, when the Conservatives tried to do something about it, uh, if you came here and made an application or said you were an asylum seeker, irrespective of whether you had a case or not, you're not an illegal immigrant. So technically there's no such thing as an illegal immigrant, right? Anyway, that's why I said the term is controversial.
