But…but..but….they’re all doctors and engineers aren’t they Matt? Thanks for your usual great analysis and your unflinching mission to deliver the truth in the face of state and woke collusion in misinformation, lies and gaslighting. I can only hope that the four million views are made up of the usual brainwashed sheep but also a fair few people who are awake and angry. We need more people who are armed with facts so that the lies can be challenged. Thanks for providing those facts.
The light is beginning to shine through, I am ashamed at how asleep I have been. Lulled by the MSM and life but never again. This is like some epic story when just in the nick of time the heroes ride to rescue. Matt is one of the heroes and we must be the undaunted army.
And no doubt most of the four million "views" (views, I hope, rather than viewers) will be people like Sunny(?), the caller who asked Khan the "question" that prompted Khan to spout his bs on immigrant contributions, together with the liberal luvvy "elite" that watch the LBC programme. Here is the full clip: https://youtu.be/oXHPXnV2e4A?si=SkGcycIbmjgJ4Jwk
I have to ask. Did anyone understand Sunny's "question"?! I sure as heck didn't, and I'm not entirely convinced that Khan did, either! Still, we will have to get used to this kind of speech. Soon, it will stand for "received English" in modern Britain...
At any rate, whatever the immigrants become (doctors, engineers, scientists, Deliveroo drivers, etc.........), let's hope that none of them become Khans and Starmers, namely human rights lawyers...
Kahn and O’Brien, you’ve ruined my day. And no, I didn’t understand it either. What the wokesters constantly fail to acknowledge is that pre mass immigration there was very little objection to immigration and on the whole, those immigrants integrated and were happy to work hard and contribute. My parents are European immigrants. What we have today is a nightmare on myriad levels.
Coming from the other side of the fence (I'm an old school Englishman of Anglo-Saxon and Norman descent), we never saw the immigrants as a problem. As you so rightly say, in the past, they integrated, worked hard and contributed. By definition, they also made a proper effort to learn the English language. Indeed, my wife is Italian and has been in England since the '80s, working as a City of London lawyer for much of that time and, therefore, paying vast sums of tax.
Suffice it to say that the English never had a say in respect of mass immigration. It has been policy by stealth.
I’m half Italian so I approve of your choice 😁 but I’d be proud to be pure English, there’s such a lot to be proud of. And no, the people have never been given a choice so it’s time the lion woke up.
So grateful we have access to the facts and statistics via this Substack. These duplicitous commentators should not get away with their blatant attempts to gaslight the public. Thank you for the truth Matt.
Look, this country is governed by the WEF and UN, via Big Business, and these people have an agenda, and that agenda is to mix everybody in the world up like the currants in a cake, so that nation states are no longer viable, and thus we just become 'The World' under a Marxist umbrella. This is the goal of unlimited immigration and of Net Zero, to create poverty and a system whereby the state controls everything - just look at China as your blue print. Nothing will stop this trajectory, because the proponents of it are embedded throughout our country (and all other Western nations) and no matter what set-backs occur, they are only temporary (hands up those who believed Starmer when he said that re-joining the EU was not on the table?).
Whatever obstacles are thrown up by what is left of democracy, the WEF simply bodes its time and waits for an opportunity to pass more laws to achieve its aim. With each new quango, a little more democratic choice is lost, until we mirror the EU Parliament, which has no democratic power at all, and is just an expensive debating chamber to give a veneer of democracy to the dictators running Brussels. There is only one way out of this and that is by mass disobedience, but that has been almost certainly rendered impossible by immigration, because immigrants do not care about Britain, only the money in their pocket; they ask: what can Britain give me? Not, what can I give Britain? Seeing Starmer laughing with his EU chums demonstrates what a liar and a traitor he is; so happy to be back in the club with all the other WEF leaders and the project back on track.
Thank you, Colin, for so articulately stating my own beliefs, but I don't have your gift for presenting them. I, too, believe that Marxism and the WEF is behind everything, plus the WHO of course. I fear greatly for my grandchildren, and can't believe how blind most people, including my own children, are to how the future will be. They think I'm a crack brained old lady, but I won't be here to say "I told you so."
Mary, you are not a crack-brained old lady, but someone who has the wisdom and experience to see what is being done to us. More and more people are waking up, so all is not lost.
And Labour’s latest betrayal is his new youth eu mobility scheme. Add this to his India deal meaning Indian workers won’t pay worker taxes for 3 years, nor will their employers! All this just days within him saying he believed immigration was too high! What a liar he is. A betrayer of the British working class. We look forward to not getting any jobs or housing as his party have given them all away. I am livid.
I’m a health professional working in the NHS (indigenous born) and I work in the Maternity department. The amount of Indian/Pakistani/African women I see who can’t speak a word of English is incredible.
I know that these women and usually their spouses can’t be participating in the economy because of their lack of English…I see them accessing the NHS, asking me for letters to show to claim benefits, there’s no way that these people are net contributors to society …and you have Khan et al telling me how wonderful and beneficial they are to society. Thank God for Matt doing the detective work to prove that what I see with my eyes every single day is the truth!
This is infuriating: how can we call ourselves a democracy when people in power knowingly and deliberately manipulate information and selectively broadcast facts to give a false situation to the country and how can so called professional journalists hold their heads up when they are not challenging these claims? Please broadcast this articles in other media to spread the truth. I read this on the day the elected PM is about to betray the democratic vote to remain a sovereign nation! Can these people be impeached?
July last year we became an autocracy. Most of what he does that is anti U.K. whether Defence, Trade, State income ie coffers, is not debated in Commons. And yet the Commons does not stand up and shout ‘Oi!’ By defaulting in their duty has MPs betraying their country, though I doubt many of the new ones in Lab will see it that way when keeping their heads down. Well done to the Parties ‘opposite’ as they know they will get rudeness from him but have started to try and make plain his wrongs, when they speak out at PMQs, ….. but it time a paper, a petition is happening in Parliament to bring him to order. If not then history will see this period as like never before in British/UK history.
Thanks Matt for fighting the good fight. I cannot stand that disgusting little liar - any more than I can stand Rachel The Liar Reeves - or any of the rest of them. That he twists the facts to undermine the truth comes as no surprise to anyone. That some people believe him is depressing and that others parrot what he says knowing it to be untrue is infuriating. We must punish them all at the Ballot Box and rid ourselves of this stain on British history. Keep up the good work - we will do our bit in the elections (when we are allowed to vote - as 5m of us were denied that right in the recent council elections - another shameful episode).
To challenge these inaccuracies, soundbites of some of the real facts that Matt has produced need to be widely published and circulated. Khan just makes these statements without explanation, we need to do the same. For example:-
British workers make a tax contribution that is £3,300 higher than the average skilled migrant worker.
Last year the UK handed out 1.1 million visas but only 22% went to people applying for work
Scientists and engineers make up only 0.6% of granted visas. Doctors for the NHS represent 0.8%
Of the 3.6 million visas issued in recent years only 5% went to highly skilled workers who are making a net contribution to the economy.
I didn’t believe Khan’s interview with LBC in fact I don’t believe a word the charlatan ever says but thank you for explaining this Matt. It’s a shame that the MSM outside of the DT and GBN (probably not MSM) aren’t interested in the truth and continue to gaslight us. It’s so important that Reform keep trying to get the message out there.
I agree with every word you have written. As George Orwell said "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears" how true. All of the "skilled migrants" in Clacton that I see are washing cars or being arrested in certain Indian restaurants and relieved of their washing-up duties.
When a sponge and a squirt of Fairy Liquid makes you "skilled" we are truly doomed to the MSM nonsense and lying politicians.
The MSM probably don’t challenge because as with rape gangs they think it would sound ‘racist’. Why? Because they know that it not ethnic Brits or longstanding immigrants in London any longer, nor B’ham, nor Leics, nor … but recent incomers who have uneducated in families they bring over, who from cultures/nations where don’t have input to politics or if did might get disappeared in some way. So he knows Khan, no MSM is going to question him, …. Or Ofcom will make sure they sacked, - now Govt has extended Ofcom role to oversee the internet there ever less routes for informing the reality of the wrongs being done to us
Words! Well done again, Matt! You are the gift that keeps giving. There was once a time when I was not strong enough to spread the truth for fear of offending kids, friends, neighbours, colleagues, employers but people-pleasers deserve the foot on their neck that keeps them in their place. Nowadays, I tell anyone what I think and if they don't like it then they can be informed, or they can hide, bluster, confabulate, gaslight, whatever. It's actually liberating and so, so enjoyable.
Ultimately, the mass immigration programme is something the Globalist Elite of the WEF wants. These are the same people that invented the fraudulent "climate emergency" and Net Zero. They both serve the same purposes. To bankrupt the western Christian democracies and to bring an end to the concept of nationhood or national identity. — And our treacherous governments are servants of the WEF. Starmer famously said he prefers Davos to Westminster.
By bankrupting the west, they create a financial crisis, in which only the WEF can step in.
By permitting mass immigration, the aim is to further damage the economy, but crucially, it is also to fracture the cohesion of single nation states, those with a clearly defined national culture like our own, breaking them into a multiplicity of multicultural colonies. A divided, or multicultural society is easier to control. It has no identity and no common aspiration.
It is the Christian democratic nations of the west who are their target, therefore, the WEF desires non-Christian immigrants; ideally, from cultures that have little experience or expectations of freedom (such as Freedom of Speech). The old Divide and Conquer.
Bankrupting the economy is also crucial to the WEF's planned 'Great Reset' (a.k.a. the New Feudalism with the Globalist Elite as our new overlords).
Net Zero will bankrupt the entirety of the western Christian democracies. By brainwashing large parts of society into believing that paid-for pseudo-science that Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a dangerous pollutant – instead of the essential building block for creating food (photosynthesis) – and so only those labelled "conspiracy theorists (i.e. nutcases) are challenging the core thesis about a man-made climate disaster. Notice how cautious people are about being labelled "climate deniers".
There is no global scientific consensus, but if you're a scientist expert to receive funding, better be sure your research proposals and published research papers include quasi-religious references to "climate emergency", "global warming", and the evils of CO2.
So, how does this further the ambitions of the Globalist Elite of the WEF? That second word, in World ECONOMIC Forum is the clue. Always follow the money. Economists, not environmental experts, are behind the global cult of Net Zero, and it is they who control the money supply for housing the peoples who are flooding into Europe, Scandinavia, and the UK. Countries will need to borrow astronomical amounts of money to pay for it. Our governments are borrowing astronomical amounts of money to pay for mass illegal migration and Net Zero. Who are they borrowing these astronomical amounts of money from? Follow the money to the Globalist Elite and you'll find the World Economic Forum (WEF).
Join the Dots. Ask why elections are being cancelled, not just here but across Europe. We are witnessing a conspiracy of epic proportions and, so far, only the Americans under President Trump have dared challenge the Bankers, and look at how the MSM are reporting America's fabulous success in declaring a National Immigration Emergency and bringing manufacturing back into the United States.
People need to open their eyes and ears, and to start asking questions...
Feeding MG's article into ChatGPT and asking if Matt's analysis is correct concludes this:
"Matt Goodwin’s analysis is substantially valid: Sadiq Khan’s “lovely stat” cherry-picks a static comparison that pits skilled migrants against an undifferentiated “UK-born adult” cohort rather than against “skilled British workers.”
Smith Stone Walters
Reddit
When appropriately comparing to UK-born working adults, British workers contribute £3,300 more in net taxes than skilled migrants.
Reddit
Additionally, the MAC report’s one-year focus does not capture a migrant’s lifetime fiscal trajectory, meaning that the initial positive net contributions of skilled migrants could diminish over time as they gain access to full welfare benefits.
Smith Stone Walters
Consequently, Goodwin is correct to assert that Khan’s interpretation is at best incomplete and at worst misleading in portraying immigration as an unalloyed fiscal benefit."
Good piece as always Matt; truth, facts and data will always unravel the subterfuge and lies they weave. But as we know all that they are doing is following a narrative determined by others, whose plan is to destabilise and deconstruct the white western world!
"“Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored”. I would offer an addendum, nor do they cease to exist because the chattering classes find them an inconvenient truth.
It's more interesting, not that they lie about this, but that they feel the need to lie. Previously immigration was a non event. It's ramping up in importance and, especially, since the October locals, both main parties are being forced to recognise reality. That this reality is the kernel of their ultimate destruction at the ballot box, they are forced to use fantasy. It isn't working now, and it won't over the next 4 years. People aren't blind. They can see what is changing around them.
The problem is that the mass immigration issue has been around since the 1920s/1930s with the cotton/wool industries in the north of England. It was refuelled especially by Labour under Blair with his desire to rub the Tories' face in multiculturalism. We have been seeing the changes for 100 years now. Yet still people vote for Labour and the Tories. Lib Dems and Greens are no different with respect to immigration.
But…but..but….they’re all doctors and engineers aren’t they Matt?

I’m certainly awake and angry Tenacious! They take us for fools!😡
My thoughts exactly.
The light is beginning to shine through, I am ashamed at how asleep I have been. Lulled by the MSM and life but never again. This is like some epic story when just in the nick of time the heroes ride to rescue. Matt is one of the heroes and we must be the undaunted army.
Because, we want our country back.
...and definitely no serious economists. If so, nobody would listen to an amateur like the present Mayor of London
Quite right.
And no doubt most of the four million "views" (views, I hope, rather than viewers) will be people like Sunny(?), the caller who asked Khan the "question" that prompted Khan to spout his bs on immigrant contributions, together with the liberal luvvy "elite" that watch the LBC programme.

Of course it isn't racist at all for Khan to gaslight in this way, and falsely diminish the contribution of the native population.
Rather like Emily Maitlis (see Connor Tomlinson's piece), some people matter and some people don't. This is the poison of racial politics.
So grateful we have access to the facts and statistics via this Substack. These duplicitous commentators should not get away with their blatant attempts to gaslight the public. Thank you for the truth Matt.
