Philippe Legrain on The Panel on RTE2 Part 1

[Edithlaflex]

Immigrants huh! who needs them?.. Ask your self this question America, when the last person to change your diapper when you become old and fragile turns out to be a Phillipino or Hispanic individual. When was the last anyone talked about how much they enjoyed working the fields picking lettuce in 100 degree temperatures?.. Yeap! who needs immigrants.

[Gendo3280]

Omg the people leaving these comments are such facists

[kmfw72]

Philippe Legrain has a French father and an American mother - he's an immigrant, full stop, which is why he despises those whose families have lived in countries for generations.

[KungfuCow5]

@kmfw72 You're an idiot.

[caltontongs73]

why does this man legrain get any air time? pure eec through and through,the mouth piece of sauron! look what happened in northern ireland today,we need to get these romanians out,there are not enough jobs for irish people. do not listen to this vile man.

[amaqula]

You will be extinct and replaced if you don't stop using contraceptives and abortion. The political masters give you these to eliminate yourselves and then replace you with immigrants.

I don't know why? It is unatural and against the instinct to survive. Bring back the Catholic Faith to the whole world and bring back common sense!

[Unlocktube]

Fuck off!!

[grimaces]

What a load of crap! The world does not have 1 million people in it anymore. Overpopulation is the principle threat to our resources, the life we share the world with, and ultimately ourselves. And what's the Catholic church's stance on contracepton. It's BAD. You'll be punished by God, by our God, for having the ingenuity to invent something that is much less detrimental to the world than dangerously out of date doctrine. Meanwhile good Catholics in S. America and Africa suffer.

[amaqula]

No, just google 'declining birthrates' for the frightening statistics on ageing populations in the developed world. They are literally losing the will to procreate. No body ever guessed such a problem would present itself.

And the wider economic and social implications are dire. It literally means a relatively quick suicide for developed nations.

[vaelory]

globalization has transformed everything nothing is the same anymore so yeah why not bring in immigrants...they aint any harm well at least generally..its good to integrate makes the world more closer and reduction of problems and wars against each other.

[kmfw72]

NZ definitely needs immigrants, seeing what a dour, prim, and xenophobic country it is.

[picturesofpictures]

Big companies and small one's too want loads of immigrants so they can keep the wage rate down. The more people competing for jobs the better for business people.

[blahinhawaii]

Unfortunately otherwise benign discussions on immigration, trade agreements, global warming, terrorism and human rights have to be viewed with the understanding that these are the EXCUSES that the Rothschilds, Chatham House, the CFR, Trilateral Commission, Rockefellers, Goldman Sachs, World Bank/IMF, U.S. treasury little organized crime cabal are using to award themselves a global monopoly on all gov't and political power. When you DO view these discussions in light of this assault on liberty...

[blahinhawaii]

Then you can google people who speak in favor of letting these predatory globalists be the ones to continue to award themselves absolute power.

What you'd find is that Philippe Legrain worked for a trilateral commission member at the WTO, is a correspondent for the economist, owned in part by the Rothschilds, and was nominated for a book award by Goldman Sachs, whose CEO runs both British Petrolium and the Trilateral Commission. Every time these issues are raised it should raise red flags.

[damcw]

you bunch of xenophobes. you are pathetic. if you don't like foreigners then you should emmigrate, i'd rather live with foreigners than intolerant assholes.

[30Bunting]

who the f*+) is he, never heard of Philippe Legrain, he looks like a right berk..

[loaiuk]

he is wellknown prof in my school ( london school of Economics)

[Ciachyou]

I would love to ask him "Name one country that took in people and the crime rate did NOT go up .. and the drugs spray painting etc." That and people treat them like crap like emire25 said there only for the business people to take advantage of.

[genocideengineering]

Jesus christ my bloodpressure skyrockets everytime i listen to this prick.

[maddogmcglinchey]

that anglo-frank is a stupid prick listen to him around 8:00

[emire25]

Globalisation is the greatest threat to national sovereignty and democracy. In twenty years we will all be reduced to living by third world standards while the rich will be richer than ever and have the power over every country in the world.

Globalisation = Fascism.

[wuidyen]

hmm.

i'd say "democracy" in its current form is the reason why the rich will be richer...but anyway, fuck you rascist

[emire25]

Mass immigration is a scam to create slave labour for big business while also creating divisions within society which politicians can exploit to repress the people and distract from political corruption.

I made no racist comments, your understanding of plain english is as bad as your spelling.

Globalism is the greatest threat to humanity. Whether invading Iraq or funding African wars, the West is using humanitarianism as a front for global domination, the poor are the greatest losers.

[Zippolata]

Ireland, want immigrants,,...lol.... None of us do, why can't they stay in their own countries, the world would be a better place.. (steven ryback,prof, uni of central france)

[shanejryan]

(steven ryback,prof, uni of central france)

Thats laughable dude, Is that suppose to validate your arguement??!!

[Saviour1au]

Nope....

[Ciachyou]

you sound like a man who would like the immigration control platform .i like them to

[johnlepo]

I don't think its fair to say that working in a factory is just something you have to do. People like you or I can easily say this because we will never have to live a life like that. It's an economists discussion, not a humanist one.

[rosie7000]

Thanks for posting this.... missed it the other night! Don't we all wish immigration problems, racism, etc could be solved so simply!

[Catuveluni]

No we don't. some of us think we are entitled to an ethnic homeland were we can be amongst our own people. How selfish of us.

[doodledeedoodle]

You know RTÉ archive the Panel on their site, for free? Just saying since it sounds like you didn't realise.

[MjoEm32]

Should be entered in a race for the most smug man of the year award. Would win by a mile.
