I HATE UK I THERE RASIST AND IM BLACK
2:22 UKIP was laughing at Michael Prick's face and then it cuts back to him with a terrible scowl
Michael Crick needs to go away.
Crick is just another left-wing media hack like Jon Snow, and a self-important one at that. Nice to see him on the receiving end of a verbal kicking.
That CRIK seems like a complete arsehole.
I am thousands of miles away from Britain living here in Canada and I can still smell the stench of his bias and unprofessional demeanor. I would not be surprised if Crik is paid under the table by the Conservatives to ambush UKIP at every opportunity.
He is no journalist. He is a paid hack.
It is ironic that Labour, the party of the working class, is now the Establishment party with the Tories and Lib Dems who only care about their Party as though it is a football team with no regard for people across the country who want true fairness, justice and freedom from the EU expansionist empire.
– Lies Lies Lies that's all they tell the corrupt government who have spent billions on a phoney war & murdered our brave soldiers the enemy is within, they open up the flood gates & allow all Eastern Europeans to come & help themselves to our free heath service DHSS jobs schooling homes & to commit crimes, they allow big companies to rip us off & bail out banks using tax payers money then give the bankers a million in bonuses.
They line their own pockets by defrauding the tax payer, why the hell should we pay for their food bills restaurant bills second homes gardens dog kennels etc.
We have been sold out by the British government the UK is no longer ours.
Why the hell do they allow the Chinese to buy up property so the first time buyer loses out, & what do the Chinese give us fake goods & counterfeit Cigarettes?
Labour & Liberal would also do the same no one can be trusted.
Most of the cop shows are about Eastern Europeans & other Foreigners
either drunk behind a wheel or committing crimes
A Foreign couple with 5 children is complaining because instead of getting over £1000 per week it’s been reduced to just over £500 a week so they have over £2000 a month to live on they will never work good old DHSS helping everyone but the British, we seem to be good at helping other countries, I thought charity starts at home.
& what about the health tourism people come here for free medical, that's why you have to wait for months to have surgery.
Most of the Foreigners in this country hate the British people even the French do but they all are ok taking whatever they can from the Tax payer whether it’s legal or not.
Foreign visitors and short-term migrants cost the NHS £2billion a year, an official report warns today.
The first comprehensive assessment of ‘health tourism’ says the true cost to taxpayers is up to 100 times bigger than some estimates.
It concluded the Health Service has ‘some of the most generous rules in the world’. And it even found evidence of relatives of migrants taking advantage of visits to Britain to have free treatment.
So why doesn't the Government stop this is it because the health secretary is skimming off some cash.
The corrupt government would like you to think the ones who do work are helping the economy but in reality most in the building trade don’t pay tax & send their money home & the thousands of Eastern European prostitutes don’t pay taxes & can earn between £200 & £300 an hour.
I have just watched a video on migrants in Ireland & they are welcoming the migrants with open arms & the Scottish people said they need more migrants to fill the jobs of the aging population, so the best
Place for migrants will be Ireland & Scotland
Just because they want to do right for the once Great Britain don't make Ukip racist, if you want to see racism at work send a few thousand British, Muslims, darks & Asians to Eastern Europe then you will see the real racist.
Play the racist card every time?
We give Billions to the European Union what do they give us migrants & crime?
It’s amazing all those migrants at Calais who have travelled thousands of miles by passing many good countries & all they want to do is come to the once Great Britain, I wonder why.
Most of the guy’s in Calais look like gangsters.
The EU see the UK as an Island where they can dump all their garbage in & the corrupt UK government is helping them
the corrupt governments sold out the British people years ago.
Eastern European women can now marry none EU residents in fake weddings so they have residency in the UK & can earn thousands & what do the British people get more illegal migrants
Paste this in youtube you will see what we are up against
( Romanians in our once Great Britain )?
Mass immigration has brought little or no overall financial benefit to the UK and other countries, a study by the club of the world’s leading economies has concluded.
Asylum it's just a front to get into the UK & bleed us dry.
The true Asylum seeker wouldn't by pass hundreds of countries just to get into the UK?
Why is the tax payer funding child support for children not living in the UK?
We need more Housing for the Eastern Europeans & the other migrants the corrupt governments inviting to our once Great Britain?
Asylum it's just a front to get into the UK & bleed us dry.
The true Asylum seeker wouldn't by pass hundreds of countries just to get into the UK?
Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital needs a donation of £5 a month to care for our dying & sick children, work out how many Billions of pounds are spent on above.
For a start a million pound paid to the bankers could go towards the hospital.
We send millions a year to help the sick of other countries but can’t look after our own.
Some countries need to be sent condoms.
Political Persecution wouldn't you flee to the nearest safe country not travel thousands of miles to reach the once Great Britain.
If we stopped social security & free health service for migrants they would go else where
Did you know we give over 30billion a year to the small Island of St Helena
British taxpayers foot £73million bill for Eastern European prisoners
Romanian and Polish prisoners have swollen their ranks by 60 per cent since 2010, bringing the total to 2,430 from 10 countries formerly behind the Iron Curtain.
Three years ago there were just 1,490 inmates from those nations in our jails, where it costs £30,000 to hold a prisoner each year.
The Ministry of Justice figures reveal Poles now form the biggest foreign contingent in British jails, with Romanians at Number five on the list, up from 400 in 2010 to 532.
In women’s jails, with 46 prisoners, they are the second biggest group, behind Nigerians on 47.
Romanians are most frequently jailed for theft, pick-pocketing and shoplifting, as well as burglary, robbery, fraud and sex offences & it’s rising.
Crick is a bad journalist and his colours show wherever he turns up. Nobody wants to know a journalists opinion, nobody cares. He can vote for whoever he chooses, he can believe in whatever he likes but when he is reporting, I just wish he would keep his own opinions to himself. He doesn't like Ukip, he has shown this time and time again. He follows Nigel around like a stalker, he is just irritating.
His questions are always negative, never hitting upon anything positive even when the story is primarily a positive one. When Ukip won the election in May, Crick just continued with his negativity. Never once congratulating, never once reporting on Ukip's amazing performance in the positive light that was – from Ukip's point of view. I guess he never will as we all know perfectly well that Crick doesn't like Ukip, yes Crick, we know, we get it. If he is/were a member of the opposition, an MP or MEP from another party, then I would understand, as a journalist, I fail to understand his stance. Surely, he must be breaking some kind of code.
He's a bad journalist working for a bad news programme. Again, nobody cares what the reporters and presenters personal opinions are but we always end up knowing exactly how they feel. Just read the bloody news and ask legitimate questions on policy. That's all we need.
God, that Michael Crick is such a massive wanker and Jon Snow ain't too far behind either!
£1m lets put that in perspective the mean UK salary earns £26,000 per year (with most people earning less than that with the median salary being less than £23,000) it would take 38.5 years just for the average employed person to reach £1m in life time earnings
Political donations need to be capped (at say £1,000 in any given year) how can we have a democracy is one individual can donate more than most people earn on a life time
Why is this reporter so wound up? is something personal going on here?
How the hell does Michael Crick keep his job? Biased dickhead, bad journalist.
Vote UKIP
