'Let's not pretend that young people have a good deal' on Daytime on 5, and the comments talk migration

A one-line quote about the young became the Channel 5 show's busiest new clip in many days, while viewers spent its comment section on small-boat crossings and whose figures to trust.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 41,771 views a day, 25 times a normal first day on this channel (1,643).

"Let's not pretend that young people have a good deal in this country at the moment..."

The title is a single sentence, and an unfinished one: "Let's not pretend that young people have a good deal in this country at the moment..." The clip does not say who is speaking. It comes from the weekday Channel 5 programme where Jeremy Vine, Storm Huntley and Alexis Conran, and Matt Allwright take turns steering the day's arguments.

In about 19 hours it passed 38,000 views. A new clip on this channel usually ends its first day at around 1,600. More than 400 comments came in over the same stretch.

Those comments wander some way from the title. Most are about immigration, especially the small boats crossing the Channel, and about whether the numbers mentioned in the discussion tell the whole story. Others bring up pensioners and the winter fuel allowance. The quote opens with young people, but the replies show the debate covered much more.

The show posted several clips that Saturday, and none of the others came close. One asked whether Britain could rejoin the EU. Another was about stockpiling. In a third, the presenter and Apprentice alum Saira Khan described the slipped disc she says years of working at a home computer gave her. A memory of standing in as Shirley Valentine in the West End drew the fewest views of all.
