‘Land of milk and honey!’ Andrew Pierce RIPS APART European Court of Human Rights as 350 cross English Channel in small boats

Pierce argued: "The problem for me is economic migrants are coming here because they think we're a soft touch and we're the land of milk and honey."

The lawyer responded: "We are a soft touch. Look, 50 per cent of them are not genuine. We know that. Now. Are the government removing them?

"It is worse than that, most of them don't even have any identity documents. That means I could say I am Mr. Whatever from whatever country and there's no way I can disprove that because the government doesn't even have effective methods of screening people's identity.

"So the Home Office is in total utter shambles. They don't have any policy to deal with this problem."

GB News Host Bev Turner then asked him if there was "a way around it" and suggested "testing somebody's genuine knowledge" of the country they claim to be from.

She added: "It can't be that difficult can it?"

Sampson explained: "The problem is that we need to have an effective policy. There is only one policy and that is to do deals with other countries.

"We need those bilateral agreements as we did with Albania, which has worked because the numbers have come down by 50 per cent and the reason for that is that most of them are Albanians.

"That's why numbers have come down from 2022, from the 45-50,000 thousand down to the 25-29,000 last year."

"The other solution is that everyone takes their fair share.If you don't have identity documents, you should not be allowed to step on our shores. It's as simple as that because we don't know who you are. You could be a terrorist. You could belong to Hamas or another terrorist organization.

"So I agree with you on that point. I'm a lawyer defending human rights. What I do also defend is our rights for our children."

Pierce then asked: "You talk about our rights, our people. Why do we need European courts to tell us what to do? Why can't we rely on our own system? What's so special about them?"

The lawyer explained: "It will mirror the Human Rights Act?"

Pierce then asked: "Why do we need them? Why do we need them to police it for us? Why can't we do it ourselves? Why don't you trust British Parliament?"

Sampson explained: "This is the problem because of the new is Rwanda a safe bill. They're effectively telling the courts what way to look at the evidence.

"It's a clear example of abuse of power when you give it in the wrong hands. I'm afraid the current lot doesn't deserve to have that.

"It's because the Human Rights Act gave too much power to the courts.

"The courts now decide laws in this country. Who gave them the power to decide the laws? They weren't elected. They're not accountable."
