Kerr's words:

"There’s a much deeper argument to have – and that is about whether immigration is good for you or bad for you. In my view, immigration is the thing that keeps this country running.

"We native Brits are so bloody stupid that we need an injection of intelligent people, young people from outside who come in and wake us up from time to time.

"It’s completely true that the Leave campaign, by cleverly outsourcing the xenophobia and the racism to the Farage campaign, were able to salve their consciences it seems by pinning Cameron to the fact that we would only take back control when we left.

"But supposing we did stop all the immigration from the EU, we would not have met Mr Cameron’s target – he would have done a lot of damage to the country if he had met it, but it was in his power to meet it by stopping immigration from outside the EU. So the premise of the argument about immigration was false."

Spot on.

And if controversial, certainly not worth losing your job.

Can't say that I find that particularly bigoted, nor his further remarks.

Sorry mate but disagree. Some black folk call each other by the 'n' word all the time. You wouldn't call that racist.

He is British, he can call us what he likes.

In fact, I find it odd that we're calling this racist or even mentioning it in the same sentence.

If a Bulgarian man came on and said 'us Bulgarians are thick', I don't think I'd have any issue with him sharing that opinion.

Oh yes the way you post on here come off it, as I have stated you always have an answer - he was condemned for that statement but super little you argue your way out as per usual insults from any race particularly a Eurofile like him need sacking IMO OK!

Come off what?

Thank you for calling me super.

I mean the highlighted point basically says that you think he should be more punished because he's pro-EU. The pot, the kettle.
