A woman in the audience for Tuesday’s live election debate on Channel 4 is being criticized online for her comments about immigration in the UK.
The UK Decides: Immigration, Law and Order was hosted by Krishnan Guru-Murthy and featured representatives from seven main parties ahead of the general election on July 4.
A woman in the audience got a lot of attention when she said she was tired of immigration and wanted to know what the panel would do to convince her to stay.
The golden moment came at the end of her rant, when she said: “I’m seriously considering moving outside of the UK. How are you going to encourage me to stay? Because I really want to.”
In other words, she is so sick of immigrants, that she is considering becoming one.
As expected, her comments led to many reactions on social media, with people mocking the absurdity of her statement. One user on X wrote: “I know someone who did this. Complained about immigration and went to Australia—as an immigrant. The irony is clearly beyond them.”
Another said: “She’s sick of immigration but expects her food to be cheap in shops, picked, packed, and transported by immigrants because British people won’t do the work. She also expects to be treated and cared for in a sector that relies on immigration!”
A user named Carol Bloomfield posted: “Where’s she going to emigrate to? Europe is out, and she doesn’t seem young enough to qualify for a working visa in Australia or the States.”
One other replied: “So she has a “problem” with immigrants…. and her threat is to become an immigrant. I couldn’t be more embarrassed for her.”
