Britain STILL paying for child benefits for 34,000 children across the EU

No, the same people actually.

Lol, now stop projecting yourself onto me.

Are you seriously suggesting that he's the ONLY person to say that immigrants benefit the host country? Not to mention the fact that he only co-authored the report. Not to mention the fact that being wrong about one thing doesn't automatically make you wrong about another thing. Not to mention that his original report was taken out of context by politicians and he actually said more immigrants would come if Germany and other countries curbed access to their labour markets.

The assumption you've made is illogical. That's like me calling Nigel Farage a Racist now because of how he acted in his student days (at least according to his principal).

He was completely wrong, so why should we take any notice of him now with even more pro-open borders propaganda? I don't trust him, the likes of him or government departments who peddle these reports anymore than I trust the guy on the street corner who predicts the end of the world every year.

He and the government were completely wrong and their credibility when it comes to border controls is in tatters. A gaggle of third rate crooks and liars.

Teachers who didn't like him made those claims, from my memory his principal defended him on camera.

Another story though isn't it and mass immigration isn't all about Ukip and Mr Farage ANYWAY.

Making a poor prediction =/= current figures that we can see for fact being wrong

By your logic everything you're saying now is wrong because you've inevitably been wrong in the past. Stupid reasoning, right?

If I was an academic who did work for the government and misjudged an issue of vital national importance so badly then in any other field such as business I would never be seen or heard from again because my reputation would (rightly) be in tatters. Not for this guy though in relation to the BBC.
