Border policy, France’s unrest and duelling claims about Kim Jong-un

An episode built around contested accounts

In this episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, the host examines Poland’s response to irregular border crossings, competing explanations for disorder in France and online speculation about Kim Jong-un’s fate. The programme presents a contentious conversation rather than independently verified reporting, with guests frequently challenging one another’s facts and interpretations.

A border warning comes under sustained scrutiny

Morgan presses Polish Law and Justice MEP Dominic Tarchinsky about a video in which he warned that people approaching Poland’s border could be killed. Tarchinsky initially links the warning to an earlier fatal attack on a Polish soldier and says the law permits lethal force when border guards are threatened. Morgan repeatedly asks whether the same response would apply to non-violent entrants, including Ukrainians without documents.

Tarchinsky eventually draws a distinction between violent and non-violent crossings: he says people who enter unlawfully without attacking soldiers would be detained and returned, while those attempting to harm personnel could face live fire. He also contends that his original remarks were directed at violent extremists and illegal entrants; Morgan counters that the short clip Tarchinsky circulated gave a broader impression.

France debate splits over religion and social conditions

Turning to France, Tarchinsky blames immigration and rejects Muslim immigration into Poland, Britain, France and Germany. Morgan condemns that position and disputes his depiction of Britain and France as societies already lost to Islam. Tarchinsky’s sweeping claims about Muslim communities and the unrest are presented as his political views, not findings established by the episode.

Broadcaster Andrew Neil offers a different explanation. He says the unrest involved peaceful demonstrators, organised far-left groups and gangs taking advantage of the disorder, with some overlap between them. Gavin McInnes instead characterises the violence as part of a larger confrontation between Islam and Europe, a reading Neil rejects as unsupported and detached from French political history.

Migration concerns without an Islamist-takeover thesis

Neil does agree that European governments allowed migration to reach levels that can strain public services and economies. However, he places the unrest within a broader problem of weak growth, scarce entry-level employment and alienated young people from different religious backgrounds. Morgan similarly argues that concerns about migration numbers do not prove that Europe faces an organised Islamist takeover.

The exchange later shifts to American gun violence, where Morgan and McInnes trade conflicting demographic claims without resolving them or establishing supporting evidence. Neil closes the France discussion by calling for measured analysis of economic weakness and migration rather than broad attacks on Muslims.

Kim Jong-un rumours and a defender’s denials

The final interview concerns unverified online reports that Kim Jong-un had died. Korean Friendship Association president Dermot Hudson insists Kim remains alive, although he says he has never spoken with him and dismisses the rumour largely because he considers its online source implausible. The show says official images were released but acknowledges that it could not confirm when they were taken.

Hudson says he has visited North Korea 20 times and received a state medal for promoting ties with Britain. He rejects allegations of torture, prison camps and other abuses, while declining to name any criticism of Kim or his government. Morgan strongly challenges those denials; Hudson maintains his support and says he regards Kim as a comrade whom he respects.
