GB News presenter Lee Anderson was seething while a GB News guest defended the plight of asylum seekers entering Britain.
Sitting down to debate with political commentators Chloe Dobbs and Nigel Nelson, the Reform MP was visibly taken aback by the latter’s defence.
“The thing that really winds people up is if you drag 300 or 400 young migrants into a camp, normally next to a village, because they are these are RAF camps,” Mr Anderson said.
“That means 300 to 400 young men roaming around the villages, getting up to all sorts of mischief.
“I don’t think they’d mind as much if they were detained and never allowed to roam the streets. And actually, that would act as a deterrent to people coming over the Channel.”
In agreement, Ms Dobbs said Britain should “absolutely not have unvetted men walking our streets freely”.

“I don’t need to go through the long list of the number of news stories that we have had of alleged sexual assaults and rapes and all sorts of crimes happening,” she added.
On Friday, Afghan national Ahmad Mulakhil pleaded guilty to raping a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton as he appeared at Warwick Crown Court on Friday.
It comes after it was revealed the prison service accidentally released two migrant sex pests.

Hadush Kebatu and Brahim Kaddour-Cherif were both subsequently arrested after police raised the alarm following their mistaken releases.
“You can’t arrest and detain people who haven’t done anything wrong!” Mr Nelson argued, regarding those who were simply seeking asylum.
“They have done something wrong! They’ve left a safe country in France, and they’ve coming over to this country.
“This is disgusting, what Chloe is just raised about. We actually ferrying these young men into town centres in free buses.
“I’ve got pensioners in the rural parts of my constituency that can’t get a bus to the doctor’s surgery,” Lee raged, citing his work as MP for Ashfield.
“The answer is to try and cut the backlog and get decisions made much more quickly. But until that’s happened, they’ve done nothing wrong by coming here to claim asylum,” Mr Nelson hit back.
“You’re absolutely right that not having a passport is a criminal offence. You won’t be prosecuted for it if you immediately claim asylum once you are on British soil or at a British border.”
Last month, it was revealed Labour intended to house hundreds of asylum seekers in two disused military sites in Inverness and East Sussex while the Home Office’s attempts to stop using hotels.
As a result, residents from the leafy town of Crowborough have protested the move, dubbing Sir Keir Starmer a “prat” in the process.
By the end of November, the Cameron Barracks army training camp will be home to 900 asylum seekers, the Government confirmed.
Weighing in on the matter, Ms Dobbs said if she lived in one of the places where they have “dumped” migrants, she would simply relocate.
“I would be absolutely devastated to have to leave where I live,” she said.
“It’s not racist to say that that is a threat to the safety of the people, and especially the women and girls of that local community. I mean, it’s absolutely devastating.”
