Boat Migrants Aren’t the Real Problem – So Why Is Britain Panicking? Fatima Drops a Shocking  Bombshell on Live TV

During a live broadcast on GB News, things quickly got heated between presenter Matt Goodwin and political commentator Fahima Mohamed as they clashed over the UK’s growing immigration crisis. The argument happened on Michelle Dewberry’s show and quickly turned into a fiery exchange as both guests passionately defended their views.

Fahima Mohamed was furious with the Labour Party, accusing them of copying Reform UK’s hardline stance on immigration. She didn’t hold back, especially after Prime Minister Keir Starmer recently claimed he was going to “take back control” of Britain’s borders. She criticized this as political theatre and said immigration shouldn’t be the only issue politicians talk about.

Matt Goodwin strongly disagreed. He said that for many British people, immigration is the most important issue today. He defended Starmer’s White Paper on migration, arguing that it wasn’t extreme but actually reflected what most voters want. “Most people in this country want less immigration,” he said. “It’s not hard to figure out.” He insisted that the country is overwhelmed by record numbers of new arrivals and people are fed up with how much it’s costing taxpayers.

Fahima pushed back, saying Matt was pretending to speak for everyone when not all people see immigration as the biggest problem. She said there are many other serious issues in the country, like the cost of living and public services, and that focusing only on immigration won’t fix any of that. “We can’t just keep blaming migrants,” she said. “Not everyone coming here is a criminal. Many are here to seek safety.”

Matt didn’t back down. He said the public is being forced to pay a huge price for the immigration system — £15 billion over ten years, or around £5 million every single day just to house migrants in hotels. He argued that if that money was used instead to build hospitals or support British people in need, the country would be in a better position. “You talk about economics,” he said, “then let’s stop spending billions on a broken system.”

Fahima quickly fired back. She explained that many migrants are still waiting on their legal status and are not getting any special treatment. “It’s not fair to act like they’re all breaking the law,” she said. “Many are fleeing real danger. You can’t lump them all together and treat them like a problem.”

The conversation got even more intense when Matt accused Fahima of living in a “fantasy land.” She hit back by saying he was being too aggressive and unfair. The two continued arguing with no sign of backing down.

Their shouting match reflects the wider national debate that’s currently dividing the country. So far this year, nearly 13,000 migrants have arrived in the UK by crossing the English Channel — a record high for the first five months of any year since 2018. On Monday alone, more than 600 people made the dangerous crossing, just as Prime Minister Starmer laid out his new immigration strategy.

While politicians argue over plans and policies, the real divide seems to be between those who believe immigration is hurting Britain and those who think it’s being used as a scapegoat for deeper problems. This passionate on-air clash captured just how tense and emotional this issue has become for many people across the UK.
