Patrick Christys on Britain's benefits bill and 'the mass immigration experiment'

The monologue led a busy GB News evening, ahead of the full Tuesday show and Nigel Farage on American bombers leaving RAF Fairford.

'The MASS IMMIGRATION experiment has FAILED': Patrick Christys fumes at Britain's benefits bill

Patrick Christys took aim at Britain's welfare spending in a segment GB News titled "'The MASS IMMIGRATION experiment has FAILED': Patrick Christys fumes at Britain's benefits bill". Seven hours after it went up, it had passed 47,000 views. For a channel whose new uploads usually spend a whole first day collecting a couple of thousand, that is a different kind of evening.

The argument is in the title. The description sums it up as Christys blaming immigration for a benefits bill it calls skyrocketing. The comments stay on that subject: who the welfare system should serve, what it costs and what Westminster should do about it. One viewer from Birmingham picks out how often their own city came up.

It was not the only upload running well ahead of usual. The full recording of Tuesday's Patrick Christys Tonight did nearly as well. So did a clip of Reform UK leader Nigel Farage calling the withdrawal of US bombers from RAF Fairford, the Gloucestershire base, a national security crisis.

This is also familiar ground for the host. Last week a Christys monologue on a blocked deportation gave the channel a fast start too, as we reported here. On this channel, his weeknight show keeps supplying the clips that travel furthest.
