BBC Slammed for Inviting Illegal Migrants to its Question Time Immigration Special
Fresh from a steaming row over its alleged Left-liberal bias, the BBC is under fire from Reform UK for inviting two small boat migrants into the audience of last night’s “immigration special” on Question Time. The Mail has the story.
Reform UK opened a new front in its row with the BBC after the broadcaster invited illegal boat migrants on to its Question Time programme.
Zia Yusuf, the party’s head of policy, appeared on the immigration special to debate the issue but was questioned by a man who had arrived in the UK illegally.
He said that the corporation had invited two former asylum seekers to appear and he “could not believe” what he was seeing.
One of the migrants revealed that his asylum application had been rejected by six other countries before he came into Britain from Afghanistan. The other man told the show he had travelled from Iran.
Following the programme last night, he tweeted: “It is a scandal that licence fee money is being paid to bring to air an ‘immigration special’ where people who literally broke into this country are getting to air their views.
“What’s next? On Budget day, is the BBC going to bring us the viewpoint of tax evaders? I don’t know where we go from here.”
It comes after Nigel Farage held a dramatic press conference yesterday in which he accused the BBC of “double standards” for reporting claims of schoolboy racism against him, which he denies.
He turned the tables on the broadcaster by pointing out that much of its output in the 1970s and 1980s would be considered racist, sexist and homophobic by today’s standards.
The party today escalated its row with the broadcaster following last night’s Question Time programme in which two former self-professed illegal migrants were asked about their views.

These illegal invaders are outlaws. The BBC must be required to produce the Health and Safety risk assessment undertaken by the broadcaster before the programme to ensure the safety of all present.
The best way to show your contempt for the BBC may be to simply to stop paying the licence fee – it is enormously liberating.
Trying to be as optimistic as I can in these difficult times, it seems to me that the BBC is starting to panic. I heard the Tice interview on Today that Farage complained of. It was a disgrace. A clumsy attempt at ‘Gotcha!’ journalism that only the most bigoted anti-Reform listeners can have thought worthy of a serious news broadcaster. They now know that they’re on borrowed time, and all they’ve got left is slavish support for the crumbling ‘woke’ agenda, repeated ad nauseam.
I’m pig sick of hearing about migrants from Afghanstan. Bad enough all the ones who were secretly brought over on the sly in that covert operation, but the small boat arrivals especially take the biscuit. To my mind, it’s the flipping Afghan women who are entitled to be seeking asylum, but all we ever get are men travelling solo. What exactly are the men fleeing? Oppression? Abuse of their human rights?? Pull the other one, it’s got nobs on. Sick of their bullshit, then they go on to commit crimes or just behave in an antisocial manner, and that’s when they’re not going back to holiday in bloody Afghanistan once they’re being supported by the British taxpayers. Here’s a short clip of the episode. Listen to all the countries that rejected this chancer’s claim for asylum before he arrived in the U.K. Also, I liked Zia’s response very much, totally based, and he uses the word ‘invasion’ appropriately; ”What next? Are the BBC going to invite Pedophiles into the audience to discuss childrens safety initiatives? Or maybe invite some of the Rapists from Rotherham to discuss the Rape Gang Scandal! This really is an absolute disgrace from the BBC !!… Read more »
I am sick of hearing about MIGRANTS FULL STOP. ——I do not wish these people any harm but I really could not give a s..t about them. ——We are diluting our Culture and Identity at break neck speed and forcing us all to SHUT IT or get a visit form the Morality Police.—-WHY?
I don’t think the BBC should exist but I don’t see a problem with this at all. Bring it on! Let’s see them defend their views and their actions – as long as there’s someone there asking them searching questions.
It’s the fact that the Afghan dude was rejected by Germany, of all places. Because we know how bad Germany is with welcoming in the replacement of their native people. But it’s OK because soft touch Britain is now renowned as the world’s dumping ground for all of the dregs of society ( the more dangerous and criminally insane the better ) from Islamic countries. And look at these idiot Christians helping the Islamization of their country along. What happened to ”charity begins at home”? ”Bishop Christian Stäblein, the refugee representative for the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD), a grouping of some 20 different Protestant churches, has committed €100,00 to support Afghans seeking to secure their residency in Germany. In a statement, the bishop announced: “We are giving €100,000 from collections to the ‘Kabul Airlift’ to support the legal proceedings of those affected and to secure their humanitarian care.” The NGO receiving the funds, “Kabul Airlift,” was backed by then-Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens) to identify and facilitate the transport of tens of thousands of Afghans to Germany. Set up to evacuate those Afghans who had helped the German and NATO military during operations there, the system has since been… Read more »
One despairs really
So we have Protestant Churches in Germany (not YET in the UK) raising money to aid even more moooslimes come into the country … who will join with the many others already there and set up Europe’s first Caliphate … requiring the abolition of the very same Protestant Churches. Another example of Trumps description of Europe as undertaking “civilizational erasure”.
But then we must ask ourselves WHY? ——Because the EU is the Dummy Run for Global Governance, and the Political Class here in the UK are still onboard with that failed experiment, that does not care where all of the worlds people live because they want to govern us all anyway.
It was Germany with Merkel and the One World Government Experiment called the EU that started all of this Immigration RACKET. They even fine Hungary and Poland for not indulging in their experiment, and ofcourse we never really left the EU as regards this FREE FOR ALL, and pretty soon the whole country will look like London with a ring road around the Orkneys
There’s always a fitting post by Jim. Well said. An excerpt; ”There’s something grotesque about a national broadcaster using a flagship programme to give the microphone not to the people who live with the consequences of illegal immigration, but to the people who created those consequences. Yet that’s what the BBC did on Question Time: a curated “immigration special” in which illegal migrants were planted in the audience, invited to deliver pre-packaged moral arguments, and given the role of judging the nation that feeds and houses them. Question Time once allowed the public to confront power. Now it looks like theatre produced by an institution convinced that power belongs to those who denounce the border, while citizenship is a privilege for bigots who don’t “understand progress”. When an Afghan man rejected by six safe countries before choosing Britain by boat is invited to normalise his journey, and when an Iranian man delivers a scripted defence of the ECHR from his phone, this isn’t debate. It’s narrative engineering. Optics first, reality second. Britain cast as guilty; the migrant cast as conscience. The BBC knows exactly what it’s doing. It isn’t broadcasting – it’s moralising. It’s using human storylines to smuggle in… Read more »
Great comment
This is, of course, nothing new just more blatant in this case. A friend managed to get tickets to a North West recording of this comedy show (it was only ever serious when hosted by Robin Day). He was surprised to see a number of minibuses arrive, which turned out to be occupied by a large group of Labour and trade union activists from Liverpool. The shows producer had worked with them as a group booking rather than rely on individual applications, which is how we are meant to think it works.
Well the BBC has form with regards to promoting and supporting criminals. Think Jimmy Saville, Hew Edwards, recent support of Hamas, the selective editing of Donald Trump.
Let’s face it if there was a debate on the BBC regarding the Rape Torture gangs, the BBC would no doubt have a number of the men who committed the acts, or still in the process of carrying them out as members of the panel and audience.
The BBC is rotten from head to foot, it needs to be privatised and those people who support such ideology can pay for a subscription. I do not see why the entire British nation has to pay whats left of their pay packets on these trash programmes
Please also take a moment to watch the video clip of an Ugly Muslim warning England that the England Flag violates Sharia Law and will not be tolerated as Muslims take over Britain and the World, because it was carried by the Crusaders.
The Ugly Muslim warns that the Red Cross on the England Flag MUST BE REMOVED under Sharia Law, but they will “allow” us to display a PLAIN WHITE FLAG (of Surrender) with the name “England” printed on it. Who the blazes do these Uglies think they are???
Here’s the short clip featured on Dan Wootton’s Outspoken channel shortly after 0:15 minutes into the video:
“Islamist takeover!” UK democracy dead as PM Slippery Starmer CANCELS elections for Muslim votes
I bet Trump’s lawyers loved it 🤣
Let’s face it—-The Political Class and the Globalist Mouthpiece BBC don’t want to STOP THE BOATS. They want to START THE SHIPS. —–They would build a bridge to the Middle East but with all the lanes running in one direction only.
I wonder why the BBC didn’t invite a criminal migrant rapist onto the programme to lecture the rest of us about “his rights?”
Let’s face it, they’ve got plenty to choose from.
As for the 4 month old daughter “learning English” ….. it is the parents’ responsibility to teach her Farsi; their negligence is no justification for them to stay here. She can’t speak English yet …. she can’t speak at all.
