You say that "Immigrants make a net contribution to GDP" - I take it you are referring to the propaganda 'report' devised by the UCL a few years ago? What they omit (from their headlines at least) is that whilst it's apparently true that all immigration (this of course includes all of the very highly skilled migrants from developed countries) does make a small net contribution, you should actually look at whether they make more, or less, in percentage terms than the rest of the country. If they generate less than the rest, then they are dragging down the GDP per capita, and therefore reducing the per capita funding available for all of our infrastructure needs.

I myself as an Englishman was an emigrant into France....the French dislike the English because the English have swamped France...I get it...why can't Eddie get it? Even Indians here in the UK can see that there are too many Indians being allowed into the UK...it isn't racism...it is just acknowledging a door that is left open for literally anyone to come through....regardless of effect upon the population.

[@RefnRes]

I dont think he did really. Eddie is very progressive and supports multiculturalism. There is a an argument to be made that the UK was conquered so many times through history that its foundations are built largely on multicultural ideas mixing. Taking a full multicultural approach will evolve and advance a nations identity more than trying to keep it fixed in time with nationalistic ideals. Obviously you have to find a middle ground because you can't fit billions of people on the little land the UK covers. This is why there are the further opposites of the spectrum like Farage and like Eddie. Farage is just wrong because he wants to preserve the UK in a state it was in historically. Its not progressive at all. Eddie isn't wrong as such but maybe too far into idealism because there has to be some fundamental level of immigration control to stop overcrowding and draining of resources in just 1 small area of the world.

[@drahcirnevarc9152]

I agree that his views and his ways of expressing them mark him out as a consummate pillock. However, he does actually have some claims to intellectuality. I used to be friends with his ex-girlfriend, who is a Professor of Philosophy www.reading.ac.uk/spirs/about/staff/c-mckinnon.aspx and she certainly had quite a high estimation of his intellect.

+Frozen Retro Farage isn't an immigrant. However, his wife is German. So, what Izzard's argument amounts to is that if you are married to an immigrant, then you ought not to state the case for controlling immigration. In other words, since I am myself an immigrant, I'm expected to ignore the consequences of uncontrolled immigration into an already overcrowded country. That's crazy, as I think you agree.

[@brucecummings3166]

Eddy just embarrassed himself by asking Nigel questions and then continuing to interrupt every time he tried to answer. Very childish.

[@centralgalaxy]

Nigel nailed it!

[@jameswilson807]

No, Nigel made a case for immigration-- he pointed out that immigration is actually often considered to be extremely profitable, then backtracked and said "oh actually but um... no, maybe it's not! Maybe it's not!" Can you actually pick out a single coherent, sound argument he raised in this video? Because retrospectively, you must see that he was absolutely wrong in this regard

I supported Brexit but feel that Eddie Izzard's ridiculous behaviour helped Brexit - Couldn't stay have found someone half decent at debating for this show ?

[@richardtaylor4362]

boum62 No they could not, they genuinely thought that he would be a great advocate, just how out of touch they were, the worst thing is that the BBC sat the two of them next to each other which was entirely deliberate.

[@khosrow]

And they did even worse by trying to use that shithead and tinfoilhat wearer Russell Brand too. This is not how you reach the common people.

Watching this on 1st January 2021. The UK just formally left the EU. I’m not Brexiteer but I think this Eddy Izzard’s patronising sanctimonious outbursts here on QT did a lot to kill any hopes of the UK staying in the EU.

[@davespicer2143]

Eddie Izzard was one of many patronising fools on the remain side that helped Brexit cross the line.

Lmao, blaming Brexit on people arguing to stay in the EU is some weapons grade copium
