David Dimbleby gives his stark analysis ahead of the UK General Election | Newscast 

He's talking to a yahoo nonentity but perfectly and measured in his outlook.

Sounds like he has the perspective of someone suffering from clinical depression.

boris threatened to shut down the BBC if they criticised him. then rammed it full of tory cronies

Journalists are a joke now.

He is unfortunately not impartial because he works for the BBC. The BBC would not have anything to do with an impartial journalist

The interviewer was partial: pro-Tory

being flooded by men from Africa and the Middle East with no obvious signs of war injuries, missing limbs etc and put into poor areas to destabilise the British population with people favourable to the lefty globalist view and American corporations

I'm sorry did he mention IMMIGRATION? No, so that shoots your theory down.

@@FishingFan2not really

@@FishingFan2 immigration is irrelevant to people who aren't thick as mince.

but, for him to say anything otherwise would be delusional. That's just how far things have been allowed to decline

I agree. The bbc... .......

Absolutely, absolute knob, first his says it's impartial, then immediately agrees it isn't.

God forbid he tells the truth.

👍

The new breed don’t know what the truth is or have any interest. They’re just fluffers for whoever is in power

David was typically moderate and retrained. Both political parties and the establishment have taken the whole country to a truly dark place. I fear our future.

⁠@@mr.mayhem7402Both political parties! What approx is the date of origin to this degeneration of which you refer?…

No mention of immigration there....

​@raycollins7511 Are you a bot. If you can't see the trouble we are in, then you are part of the problem.

He doesn't look very well.

Couldn't put it better myself. Have a like.

Just decriminalise the licence fee. If people want to support the BBC, let them.

The BBC has always had a duty to impartiality. You might want it to be Pravda, democrats want it to be impartial.

@@GraemetheGuiriLordHaHa Why do you think that the OP doesn't want it to be impartial? Do you honestly think that it is impartial? Because the simple fact is that the BBC has never called out the Conservative Party for being extreme right wing, even when the party was thrown out of the centre right grouping in the EU, nor did the BBC point out that the party then joined the same political grouping as Germany's AfD, Greece's Golden Dawn and Spain's Vox. The idea that the BBC is impartial is so far out of date that it's embarrassing. Just because the Tories occasionally claim that the BBC is somehow left wing is simply a tactic to make people believe that there is some impartiality left. But you only need to look at how fawning Laura Kuensberg is with the Tories, and how aggressive she is with everybody else (let's not forget, she is apparently the BBC's "Star political journalist") to realise just how far from impartial the BBC is. That you automatically refer to Pravda makes it very clear right away, what you think on the subject. But I absolutely assure you that you are wrong. I certainly don't want a Labour party mouthpiece, just honest journalism and an organisation that doesn't constantly promote either Nigel Farage's agenda or regularly invite the Tufton Street mafia onto Question Time.

no they wont you are voting for a change of tie colour nothing else

​@@GraemetheGuiriLordHaHayes it has always had a duty to be impartial......and no it has NOT lived up to that in recent years. Pravda? Oh dear.....(wanders off shaking head)🙄

well said

PR would make the situation even worse, as seen in Spain and Italy. All politicians love PR because it minimises political accountability and allows them to cook up crooked backroom deals without a public mandate with minority single-issue groups who wag the dog. A 2 party system can work as long as both political parties understand that they have to represent their voters or they will go the way of the Tories.

@@mr.mayhem7402 this is complete nonsense and it is obviouse that you have no understanding of demovracy or PR.

Lib Dem Surge

@@JornMolt-mf6qo hopefully they will get 2nd place.

its summer 'well we can't breach impartiality...., some people say its winter'

When I speak to Tory voters, the BBC is leftwing nonsense. When I speak to Labour voters, the BBC is rightwing propaganda. They can't both be right can they? Basically these people don't like hearing things they don't agree with.

No it's just in your silly little head.

It's better

@@marcokite Said no one ever until now. Bruce is a Tory and she spoils the show.

​@@marcokitereally 😂😂😂.

Totally unwatchable today. Pure Junk.

QT is just the BBC giving the public a lesson in Wokery.

As did you.

@@WillyYang-qv6de Bot

Yes that isn’t the way the BBC rolls these days

And yet - BBC reporting online (the place I see it, too deaf for TV) is as balanced as anything else I read or see. The most diverse activists, people who see the others are having cloven hoofs, agree to denounce the BBC. That suggests to me that it's still by and large refusing to become the mouthpiece of any partisan group in our society.

Go back to reading the Daily Mail.

Please take a 10/10 for that comment Sir

Why 20 years ago?

No, the country died in 2015 The divisiveness began there. Before that we had multiple parties, the ability to release steam by voting for someone other than the "big two", but Brexit was binary. Us vs Them. That ruined our nation, our reputation, our economy, strained our politics.

@@randomdaveUK How can asking the nation in a referendum be divisive - oh yes if the losers don't accept the outcome.

@@col.hertford9855Iraq war-lies and failed foreign policy still affecting us to this day

Neither would you.

He's employed for his DEI "credentials".

@@heraliogomezchatsandsnac-ts8ki?/

They don't employ thinkers.

The worrying thing is ,he thinks he's got bags of personality and a unique intellect.The reality is he's extremely bland and a very basic thinker.

BloJo placed people into the BBC that put the fear of God into journalists there. That is why they fear saying things.

Agreed they act like the gestapo

8 billion pounds is a lot of money. It is also 0.8% of Government spending which means 99.2% of spending goes elsewhere. Migrants are not the reason this country is in a poor state it is mismanagment, outright corruption and Brexit that are the main culprits. It is easy to blame others for our problems but the main issues we have to deal with are all self inflicted and the result of an aging population.

@@LG-jn5fx Thank you for your comment I agree with most of what you said.

How about people STOP dropping their rubbish on the streets. Every time I come back to the UK, the piles of rubbish on the streets grow higher.

But they'll have to employ a lot more Police officers, and experienced ones at that, just to get close to the numbers per capita before the Tories wrecked the country. TBF, I'm sure that Starmer will try his best, after all, much of his life has been spent in the legal profession, but the Tories really have evicerated the UK's economy, and it isn't going to be easy to return to anything like what existed before. I'd also point out that the UK's truly bizarre rules on rubbish collection and sorting are a major contributor. The sheer cost of getting rid of rubbish is astonishing, nor does it even make any sense. I live in Spain where fly tipping is virtually unheard of. That is because our council PAYS us to take rubbish to the tip. And I've seen the receipts for the bonuses that the rubbish truck drivers get for collecting it. It simply makes no sense what the UK does.

​@@annaclarke7643that's what you get for importing the 3rd world you slowly look like it.

Does anyone?

booohooo our racist russian puppet got held to account i'm sobbing for you

Vote reform - they will defund the licence at last

@@MrThelocalpsychoyou’re talking tripe

You must really like not getting a doctor's or dentist appointment, paying ridiculous taxes so a Labour or Tory government can fill their pockets. Or do you think yourself one of those super wise clever people and like to think you're superior to others. Bigotry of another kind.

@@MrThelocalpsycho David is not that bad

Thank God they won’t

no, it doesn't. not even close.

I get snippy at paying my licence fee and it does pay for people like our presenter here, but it also pays for interesting documentaries, dramas, and comedies. Not to mention soft power abroad through BBC World and other channels. In the wider context I'd rather keep it. You *can* opt out of paying it, it's not a tax.

@@Jablicek I used to say the same things but if you divide £4 billion by the number of quality programmes that it produces each year (that cannot be produced by the private sector) and compare to competing or free services it is low value. The value of its soft power effect shouldn't be taken as read without scrutiny of the costs to achieve it. It is a tax for anyone that wants to watch non-BBC live television. The £13.25 monthly charge represents 0.6% of the average UK after tax salary or about 0.8% for someone on minimum wage. That's a lot of money.

@@JetsG2020 It's not that the private sector can't produce the same media as the BBC, it's that they often don't. Do you know how many radio stations they have, and how many are now digital only? Like, it's a lot. They do some pretty good children's programming, and some excellent educational, too. There's BBC Bitesize, which is educational content that broadly follows the BNC. It's not just period dramas, Eastenders and Attenborough.

@@Jablicek sure, and I used to say that too, but the BBC content is nothing compared to the freely available educational content here on RU-vid. That is, I read, one of the reasons why the BBC is going to struggle; its business model of enforced revenue collection and ability to crowd out the private sector is being neutered by the internet. Perhaps the BBC will attempt to move to direct gvt funding in the future to support their (inflated) cost base if licence payees continue to fall, or maybe we will need a BBC internet licence 😅

Has it been taken?

Not on the bbc agenda.

Because it's the BBC!

Because immigration isn't a problem, it is a symptom. Just go and look at the break down of UK immigration if you don't believe me. When you have 7 MILLION people waiting for non-urgent surgery, who TF do you think is doing their jobs? Or do you expect people from Newcastle to commute down to London every day to work in the hospitality sector? Maybe you want to force Britons to work for what pathetic sum that now passes for a subsistance wage? Maybe you'd like to volunteer to work in the fields of Lincolnshire, picking potatoes in the driving rain for minimum wage? Or maybe you're some sort of genius who can become a qualified nurse in 6 months rather than the 4 years a real nurse needs? How about becoming a family GP? I'm sure that someone as brainy as you can get their Doctor's qualifications in less than a year, even though it takes the NHS 7 years to train a junior doctor! Or maybe you think that foreing students shouldn't be allowed in? That in spite of the fact that those foreign students help to subsidise the education of every single UK University student. Are you going to to tell all those parents that they're going to have to pay AT LEAST 25% more than they currently have to pay? So, I have just got one question for you; WHY do you think that immigration is such a huge problem? Seriously, I'd like to know, because I literally do not know who you think will do the jobs that those poor damned innocents currently do.

And the housing crisis (which is linked to mass immigration). Literally the TWO biggest issues were forgotten.

they went all these men from Africa and the Middle East with no obvious war wounds. Thats why they get a free lawyer on legal aid. It is to destabilise the domestic population and make them long term more divided, more controllable and more favourable to globalism

At least Labouyr and the Lib Dems have said that they want to clean up UK politics AND hold those responsible for corruption to account. The Tories don't even think that they've done anything wrong!
