replaced by cheaper polish comedian?


I am sure the BBC could get someone from abroad to do Stewart's job cheaper than he does it and put up with crap conditions and so on?

But seriously I watched the latest episode of this show and he went on and on about immigration as if you had to be a stupid UKIP voter and SUN reader to be bothered by immigration but you can be a left wing anti racist (like me)who still has worries about immigration.

I have previously greatly enjoyed some of LEE's work but increasingly he reminds me somehow of WOODY ALLEN or ELVIS COSTELLO,what I mean is he is more and more self indulgent and less interesting ,in my opinion.

The immigration routine went on and on,we get the message,Britain and everywhere else has been the home of migrants since year one,but I don't think he understands what it is like to live the life of an ordinary person in the UK at the moment.

I read THE GUARDIAN every day and I love the BBC but LEE's came across as someone who is not going to lose his job to an outsourced contractor employing migrant labour nor is he trying for a job in a firm where they are known to prefer foreign workers.

are you replying to my post? I don't think I miss LEE's point,it is easy to be a left wing comic or rock star because they don't live the lives that most people do.

reply

yes. i just re-read your post and no offense, you are pretty clearly missing the point.

actually your second post proves that also.

So explain what is the point?

in this episode stewart could not make it any clearer. out of all of his material that i have watched, this one is probably the easiest to understand. he basically nails his point into the viewers head.

Why blame migrants when it's the politicians, employers and people who limit the size of their families who cause immigration? It's a political problem, nothing to do with foreigners.
