orlared: Nigel Farage easily rubbishes Irish Guardian remoaner whining about xenophobia
Lisa O'Carroll, the Brexit correspondent for the Guardian decided to waste her opportunity to question Nigel Farage, live on RTÉ's Late Late Show, by asking him whether he ever stopped to think about UKIP's "role in fanning xenophobia and hatred" towards Romanians and Bulgarians whom she described as "new Irish" for reasons left unexplained and only make sense in a mind corrupted by a diet of champagne-globalism, feminism and BBC approved talking points.
Needless to say, Farage easily put her in her place and it wasn't even satisfying to watch due to his obvious and generous embarrassment for her while subtly implying she was a typical disconnected, metropolitan-elite luvvie, unconcerned with working class communities being swamped with an endless supply of cheap labour for the benefit of the globalist capitalists, and it was her who in fact was prejudiced.
TV's Robert Peston recently said the BBC was blind to the effect of eastern European migration and got it "completely wrong", admitting they patronised' Britons and ignored them:
Mr Peston, 58, who was the corporation's business editor for nine years before joining ITV in 2014, said he was "embarrassed" at overlooking the damage to communities and at people raising concerns about the issue being wrongly accused of racism. He said he regretted looking at eastern European migration purely as an economist.
"Looking back on it I got it wrong and I feel embarrassed about this," he said.
"When we had all that migration from eastern Europe, people like me focused too much on the economic benefits in terms of the rate we were growing and not enough on the experience of communities.
"It is not, in my view, racist to be concerned if the composition of your community changes by something like 10 or 15 per cent points over a very small number of years.
"At the time I was at the BBC and let's be clear, the BBC got this completely wrong - we did not listen to millions of our viewers at the time."
