00:00 I don't have house, that's why I sleep on the beach under the boat.
00:03 This is cold, yeah.
00:05 Sometimes I make fire to make myself warm.
00:09 Sometimes I feel freezing, really I sleep like I'm freezing.
00:14 I want to live because
00:17 I feel like sick here.
00:23 I'm outside an asylum seeker, I can't get a solicitor.
00:28 I can't...
00:30 I'm homeless, I'm outside the street for like five months.
00:34 I don't have money, I don't have nothing.
00:36 There are hundreds of asylum seekers coming every month by boat, just the way you did.
00:43 What would you tell them?
00:45 Don't come here.
00:47 Just don't come here anymore, the system is broken.
00:50 UK, England, it's coming down, it's not like before.
00:55 I have a cousin, he explained to me, my cousin, he lived here for ten years.
00:59 And he told me the system here is broken.
01:02 Home office, they don't help anymore, migrant help is nothing here.
