I am actually a huge fan of the BBC or at least what it used to be. This recent scandal and the new information that is being revealed about BBC bias on other matters such as immigration, gender ideology etc explain very clearly why our country is where it is.
The simple fact is that journalists, civil servants, politicians, activists, comedians and other cultural and political commentators live in a bubble in which they are not only naturally insulated from the views of the man or woman in the street, they are also deliberately insulating themselves from the views of the plebs whom they despise and look down on.
On every common sense issue (illegal immigration is wrong, men can't become women, lying about Trump & Farage is wrong, no matter how much you hate them, Net Zero is economic suicide etc) they have taken the wrong side every single time. But not only were they wrong, they gaslit everyone else into believing we were the immoral ones for being right.
This isn't about the BBC, it's about the entire social milieu in which smugness and certainty have triumphed over curiosity and humility.
This is the truth about why Britain is where it is: the people who are meant to lead us do not serve the people, they serve themselves.
This is a rotten way to do politics, to debate ideas, to run a country. Is it any surprise that the wealthy (who can leave) and the young (who are flexible enough to leave) are fleeing in their droves?
People don't like to hear it but it is true: Britain has slipped into an economic, cultural and demographic crisis from which it will be nigh on impossible to recover. Our GDP per person is lower today than it was in 2008. Our cultural and political debates are phony. We argue about what a woman is while our country is going bankrupt. The best and brightest leave while the government stuffs hotel after hotel with illegal immigrants at our expense.
Britain has one electoral cycle left to change course. We won't survive 5 more years of elite failure after this useless Government limps out of office. We're running out of road.
