A Reform UK candidate’s bad take on immigration sent this old James Acaster clip viral again

Oonagh Keating. Updated June 10th, 2024

By now, you’ve probably spotted a clip of Reform UK candidate George Woodward saying he realised the enormity of the “migration” issue after seeing a lot of people arriving at a British airport.

As you can imagine, there has been a lot of head-shaking and facepalming at his extraordinary failure to understand the nature of air travel. Mike Galsworthy had this reaction.

It put Twitter/X user Chels in mind of this clip from 2017 showing the brilliant James Acaster chatting with a Kettering resident who insisted that Britain is full.

Watch how James handled it.

“It is equivalent to like China or India, per square mile.”

“Yeah? It doesn’t look it, though. It never looks it.”

“If it doesn’t feel like it, it’s alright, innit?”

“Well, it’s quiet today, ’cause it’s early.”

James Acaster – absolute king.

People enjoyed seeing the clip again – or, for some, for the first time.
