    I disagree. It's rare I watch videos on social media with the sound on, I can't stand all the background music and that stupid AI voiceover. Subtitles are a must.

    Brilliant. She certainly speaks for me. The racists and their apologists certainly don't.

    Yeah that’s the reason nost content creators do the subtitles. Cant remember the stats I saw about the percentage of videos that are watched with sound off but its quite high

    Brilliant, well done love. The perfect antidote to the right wing numpties shaming the town and who do not represent the majority in the wider Barnsley community.

    My phone might as well not have sound to be honest. I’ve had my phone(s) on silent for about 20 years and I never watch any videos with sound on. I’m sure deaf people appreciate it too.

    Not sure that matters to the sentiment of the message!

    In all seriousness, what a fantastic oration of what I hope the actual majority feel, as opposed to the loud barbaric minority causing trouble.

    Make her famous. She is someone to be proud of.

    The problem with reassessing migration is which migration do we address?

    1. ~400,000 people arrive on student visas. They come for 1-5 years (depending on the course) and pay £490 each for a visa (£200m in total) + £700+ NHS surcharge each year (£300m to NHS every year) and bring in £42bn per year in exports. Its almost 10% of our annual exports and keeps our higher education sector afloat - lower numbers are already causing universities financial problems because the standard fees aren't high enough (despite increasing significantly in 30 years).

    2. ~350,000 arrive on healthcare visas. These come to work in the NHS and social care. We stop these and the waiting lists get longer and those needing social care are short of carers.

    3. ~80,000 spouse visas per year. These are already too expensive making it much more difficult for poorer people to meet and marry someone from overseas.

    4. ~60,0000 asylum seekers arrive per year. We are obligated to help these under the UN Convention on Refugees - although not processing them for years has caused many problems including increasing the annual cost from £460m in 2016 to £4.2bn in 2023.

    Another chunk are workers to fill jobs where there are recruitment issues. Not bringing these in leaves companies unable to fill vacancies and be uncompetitive.

    There is an issue with illegal migration - people who arrive on short-term tourist visas but never leave. Unfortunately, the Home Office don't actually know how many there are - but estimates could be as high as 1 million. I'd suggest that this is the only category that we could reduce without causing significant economic problems.

    absolutely brilliant love that speech
    Wish the MSM would give more time to people like her who speak for the mostly silent majority rather than the loud shouty racist minority who seem to get a lot more air time
