Eddie Izzard talks to you about the EU Referendum! Monday 23rd May

woohoo Eddie has arrived at Reading and they'll be doing a live periscope of a debate at the uni

"Debate"

Does this mean he'll sit and ignore 90% of the questions he's asked again?

Eddie's already spoiled his whole tour with this single thread (and yes, I took screenshots for posterity)

haha yeah it will be a 'debate'

Hannan will crush Izzard

Half way through the reading 'debate' and Izzard is really out of his depth. The remain camp could have used so many other figures but they choose someone who seems incapable of forming a coherent argument.

I hope that there are more of these debates

And against somebody who's job it is to make coherent arguments. If celebrities are going to be debating it should be against other celebrities, not professionals.

I think you missed my point. I was criticising the remain camp for pushing someone who lacks intellectual capability to the front of the student campaign, despite the vast reserves of other celebs they could call up instead.

To put a comedian up against someone with such powerful rhetoric as Dan Hannon was abit careless.

Where'd you see it? Live or online?

Bit of a mess for Izzard so far it seems - being out of his depth on a student forum and then going up against Hannan.
