Rod Liddle: Brexit, BBC bias & the liberal elite I So What You're Saying Is 

I bought a car in North London recently and the dealer who was born and lived there all his life told me an amazing story - a local immigrant had bought a car from him a while ago and asked him where he was born - when he told him the immigrant asked to shake him by the hand because he had lived in North London for three years and he was the first white person he had met who had been born there - isn't diversity great!

First time I have heard Rod Liddle, and he said he "loathing for London and the Liberal Elite"... He won me over in that one sentence.

I'm proud I'm from London but the London I knew in the 50's and 60's has been washed away by an influx of foreigners. It makes me sad to see it now.

At last I’m hearing from someone who understands exactly how I feel. I guess some people have a much stronger sense of identity and belonging and don’t appreciate being dictated to by bureaucrats who have no understanding of our own culture. I’ve realised that I am more for the working class than the liberal elite who seem to live in a precious Metropolitan bubble.

I was born and bred in Newham in east London, where I knew it wasn’t a great place to live but my family and friends were there, there was always people from different backgrounds, until we had mass immigration and then I didn’t even recognise the place or people anymore, my friends had already moved away along with family members, so in the end we moved and I can honestly say it was the best thing I have ever done, I’m much happier (although I don’t feel attached as I did when I lived in London) but I couldn’t go back to London and almost all of the Rod Liddle interview resonated with me. So well done Mr Liddle.

Ron Liddle is so right about London. I'm a Londoner born and bred and come from generations of Londoners. London was at its best when it was just an ordinary City with real people Communities and families. Our street was like the League of Nations we had a representation of people from different parts of the world and we all got on. Nobody was on benefits everybody went out to work and the families bought their homes and did their best to send their children to good schools. London was a great place. It lacked the pretentiousness it has now which myself and other dwindling Londoners find gut wrenching. And actually one of the reasons why a lot of Londoners now just want to leave. That alongside the sheer expense which means that the Communities that once were are no longer accessible to the ordinary people that flourished in this town. The community was everything the value of properties and the prettiness of the place was of secondary concern. The first thing that happened when an area became gentrified the garden fences that used to be waist high and allowed people to talk to each other went up and the community was instsntly disconnected from one another. London may not have been a pretty place in the days when I was growing up but it was full of character lots of life and the people who live there owned the city it certainly doesn't didn't own them like it does now. I'm so glad that I lived in London when I did it was truly a great place accessible to all. Unlike now.

What a great guy Rod Liddle is. Never knew much about him and listening to him is music to the ears. No nonsense straight talker. We desperately need mp's like him. great interview. 👍

When I was a kid, London was quite a nice place and neighbours knew each other. Now it's awful. It's dirty, run down, exploited and full of transient foreigners who don't talk to each other.

What a refreshing and honest interview.

Rod's a star. Lots of truth and common sense. Why haven't we got these sensible sort in parliament?

Peter the Great Interviewer! He asks the questions and then (learn from this Kirsty Wark) he lets his guests answer fully, with no interruption! How refreshing!

“Dimbleby looking like someone shat in his handbag” 😂😂

Top lad is Rod. One of the very few honest and brave journalists - anywhere in the world.

I wouldn't trust the bbc to tell me the football results, there would only be London clubs in the premiership.

A stranger in my own land.

Excellent video, shame anything like this would never be shown on the BBC. Rod is great

I totally agree.. I am from North Yorkshire, I like to visit London occasionally, but it is a horrible place, every time I go there I notice how miserable everybody is. The fact that the entire city is running on an immigrant underclass makes it even worse.

He's spot on about the bubble of London, Cambridge, Oxford and Bristol. Bristol in particular alarms me. One of my first bosses was from Bristol and had that thick farming accent. Now when you hear anyone on the radio saying they are from Bristol notice they have a London accent. Basically Londoners have moved to Bristol and are turning it into another pretentious shithole, devoid of any personality. Recently there was a story about people in Bristol putting spikes in trees to stop birds shitting on their cars. Does anyone believe those responsible were real Bristolians. I left London few years ago and can't discuss Brexit with those who I used to know. I've been labelled a racist despite my partner being Polish. I know plenty from London who claim we need another vote because the poor Brexit voters were lied to. In each case what they really mean is that overpopulation causes rents to rise which suits them as they have property portfolios. They employ cheaper Polish tradesmen to work on their properties and they usually own properties in EU too. The elite have proven that they despite the average working man. It's time for a huge political change if democracy is to survive.

1st video I've watched of yours. Very good. It made me think that the greatest thing to happen to this country was the brexit vote. Not only did it get more people than ever have an interest in politics, on all sides. But it also has enlightened a hell of a lot of people on how corruption has riddled the system.

Immigration is an interesting yet volatile topic to discuss. I've been an "immigrant" in 3 separate countries in Asia for the past 7 years and it's very effectively managed and controlled. I certainly wouldn't want to see a radical increase in immigration here in Japan (even though Japan needs it) and the thought of Tokyo being less than half Japanese is mind-boggling. A lot of those who advocate for open borders and mass-immigration are doing it for nothing more than social credit points, and these are often the people who live a million miles away from the kind of communities that get affected by it. Multi-culturalism (in my experience) doesn't really make sense as people feel more comfortable by sticking together with those from a shared cultural background. When this happens, it only creates further divisions in society which in turn cause resentment and eventually hostility.

An amzaing mind ,an amazing man.if more people had the balls to speak the truth as Rod has this country would be in a much better place

its not just the BBC who are biased, channel 4 especially the news, and channel 5, the Jeremy Vine show has 3 panelists on it with 1 leave, 2 pro remain and Jeremy Vine who makes it 3 to 1 and that doesnt represent the almost 52 percent who voted leave.

"The constant drip of propaganda..." So true!

Rod Liddel makes a lot of sense! For many years I have felt a disjoint with this lost city ! !

Straight talking Rod, good on yer!

Post Brexit the license TAX should be abolished

Even the Daily Mail, under its new editor, has joined the conspiracy against Brexit. Its articles are heavily slanted against Brexiteers, and by and large only pro-Remain comments are allowed. In fact, the Mail is now 'hard' liberal-left on a host of topics, where articles reflect the new editorial position and comments are heavily censored. I always thought that this kind of heavy-handed censored propaganda only existed in North Korea, and never thought to see it in the Mail.

What makes me laugh is people who are pro mass immigration never live in diverse communities. Gary Lineker, Lily Allen , politicians not much diversity in Sunningdale, Berks is there Gary.

Gave up entirely on Radio 4 after the referendum, the bias was unbearable

Brilliant interview and glad to see Mr. Liddle saying it "as it is" without hiding behind the current agenda of political correctness nonsense.

We in the north see London as a embarrassment to the uk,the riffraff MPs that have screwed us over on leaving the eu will get there comeuppance

Thanks for this guys. This is a forum that was long needed!

Gave up with the BBC quite some time ago. There are some very good alternative, real news shows about, if you route them out. My particular favourite is "The Duran" which you can find here on you tube. Excellent!

Enjoyed that.I used to live in the Chislehurst area until 15 years ago in London.I escaped and now I live in West Wales on my bit of land enjoying the “Good Life”.I’m afraid the dye is cast and the country we once knew and loved has gone never to return.Where we go from here is anyone’s guess.

That was one of the best conversations i've heard in a long, long time. A* both men.

Good interview. Love this chap. Common sense at it's best. Reached " peak wank " ,excellent!

"Looking at Dimbleby, looking like someone had shat in his handbag" ....classic!

Rod Little is one of the few people in this country that talks sense and will stand up and be counted. He tells the truth and is not afraid to tackle any issue. He is a pleasure to listen to and follow.

And I thought I was the only one who thought this way, nice to know that there is common sense out there

So the majority of the population want to leave, yet the majority of the politicians want to remain ... I bet China and North Korea find democracy absolutely hilarious.

What a great conversation ,thank you

Brilliant really enjoyed that if only the bbc would show programmes like that.

God Bless Social Media - because without it we'd never get to hear the full story. This was an excellent, raw, completely unedited interview, thank you. I have a renewed deeper respect for Mr. Liddle.

How bloody refreshing.

Thank you for a great discussion.

Rod is one of those rare public figures who actually cares enough to engage with his audience every day on social media. Super nice guy.

Great interview, pithy, fun and very entertaining. Occasionally Rod says things that make me cringe, but I pretty well agreed with every word he said there.

Rod Liddell is the best editor the Today programme ever had. How refreshing to hear the word ‘Nation State’. As for the liberal elites - let’s cut to the chase - all their children are BRIGHT - they’re all snobs! Marion

Dimbleby looking like someone had shat in his handbag 🤣

Great Chat & you Chaps are spot on, you both deserve a large Rum Coffee after that. BBC (Bolshevik Broadcasting Company) days are numbered

Love Liddle ... !! He’s simply the voice of utter and complete common sense .. !! A must listen .. 💙

London never used to have knife death attacks in broad daylight outside tube stations every couple of days. It is evidently full of aimlessness other than money or sectarianism.

It is not that the bbc is left leaning. It isn,t even that is still hugely middle class. It is the fact that their interviewers allow their beliefs to regularly rise to the surface when confronting someone. It has put paid to my idea of the bbc being unbiased. Emily maitlands interview, last week, should have seen her fired. I expect bbc interviewers to do their job not act like a pissed off member of the public.

I haven't given the SDP much thought but if they are as Rod says then more power to them! I will be voting UKIP but we need to get ALL these corrupt parties OUT of the commons and replace them with real representation across the political spectrum.

This channel highlights all that is missing in quality journalism today. Absolutely marvellous stuff and Peter Whittle maintains a marvellously watchable pace. Thank you.

Get Rod Liddle into government! An upshot of the Brexit fiasco is that some sensible people are getting an airing.

So we’ve got a far left Labour Party and a far left Conservative party .

The BBC actually produced propaganda films extolling the virtues of “migration” for children.

I’m currently a student studying at Teesside University. I’m delighted that freedom of opportunity is favoured here, however the ‘woke culture’ is beginning to initiate its role of indoctrination, as the institution becomes more dominated by the British southern types and radical American democrats. The rot will soon set in, transforming a socially and politically diverse campus into yet another conveyor belt.

This guy is bang on the money in my book, says it as it is great interview

Excellent discussion gentlemen, thank you. I'm enjoying this series, Peter. Thank you for your work.

If had the money I'd move out of London tomorrow

This program seems to be the only balanced debate in the country. Thank you. No fear in not being WOKE enough.

I liked the manner by which you interviewed. Let the interviewee speak and chipped in when necessary to nurture a point. Hope to see more like this, and less of the American style which is popular.

I buy the 'Spectator' specifically to read Rod.

UK has joined EU since 1973 and so far EU has, according to economists, had an overall negative effect on UK. The collapse of Thomas Cook travel firm is just the beginning. The UK economy has slowly come pretty close to what happened to France economy with higher taxes, high current price and lower wages. The yellow vests movement greatly reflected the miserable lives of French people nowadays, who have been forced to make a difficult choice between having food on table or paying utility bills. It's not too late for UK to leave EU before Britons face the choice that French people did.

Thank you for this. I'm a liberal lefty and all that. But this was a realy insightful and positive contribution to public discourse which, though not generally in agreement, I realy found helpful to listen to and made me think. Great content and looking forward to hearing more.

Well said Rod.Even today with Boris at the helm .what you said is spot on and uplifting

Rod Liddle is a superstar.

This interview tells it like it is ..Should be shown on mainstream media...and shown in shools..imo

Brexit party is the one to vote for to really make a difference.

Thank goodness for Peter Whittle and the New Culture Forum.

I wish that had gone on for hours. Rational adults discussing issues. Subscribed.

Great interview,,,makes a change from the intervene r not butty in all the time,Rods just about the only figure on the radio/tv I,d like the buy a pint..great bloke..

Very real and honest discussion, thank you it’s like a breath of fresh air listening to Rod on these important issues

I have not switched on my tv or radio for two years, I'm so calm these days, getting real news on line, if I was not due to have a free licence this year I would have applied for no tv status. If Brexit is thwarted by the liberal elite there will be electoral mayhem in 2020

I was born in Wimbledon, moved to Surrey now i live in Devon. It's harder and harder to find areas where there are English people. Where do you go next, there's no where left?

Thank you for this. RL is the only person whose analysis I can respect. His excoriating view of the BBC propaganda machine is right on the button.

What a wonderful eloquent speaker with a wonderful turn of phrase.

Liking this programme a lot. Got a lot of time for Rod Liddle and Peter Whittle is great - very good interviewer and comes from the same part of London as me. Sadly the London of close British communities is a thing of the past. Noisy and overcrowded, it’s now become about squeezing in as many people as possible from anywhere in the world under the pretext of economic benefits. Quality of life is not even a concern and what is worse, our surrounding countryside is being built on to accommodate all the new arrivals. Sad and troubling times ahead.

Absolutely agree about London, a puffed up rather useless space, propped up by real working people in the rest of the country.

Well done Peter. Keep the interviews coming.

Watching/listening to this was like reading a really good book, I could not put it down or turn away! Enjoyable, truthful and emlightening. Thanks.

A superb interview. Rod writes in The Spectator and is bang on the nail in almost everything he says.

Very interesting discussion by people with intellect.

Thank you Peter. This is the first interview I've watched. It was very interesting and educative.

Peter, once again your choice of guest continues to produce a plethora of unique perspectives that inform, challenge and entertain....you are always the highlight of my You Tube forays :) Thank you.

Thoroughly enjoyable and reassuring to see there are other sane people out there! Thanks!!!

I am really enjoying this series. I look forward to every new episode!

Wow...what a smart man. No wonder he's read in the U.K.!

Good old Rod, never fails to entertain and inform.

I could listen to Rod all day and every day.

Trouble is, many of those “Londoners” who voted for Brexit did so because they wanted to stop immigration by white people!! Also, everyone is missing the point. The point is, Brexit has shown that our political system is not fit for purpose. “Representative” democracy isn’t democracy. It might have been the best thing available when the dissemination of news was slow and available only to a few, but now that modern media has made the latest information instantly available, electing someone to think for you doesn’t work. It just makes people angry. Also the world is very different now. In the past, our leaders came from many different backgrounds. They had practical experience of the world. In the real old days the king led his troops into battle. He had to know about war, not just the exciting stuff but the mundane. How best to transport food and supplies across difficult terrain etc. Even in comparatively modern times there was diversity among our leaders with different backgrounds and different lives. Each with his own special knowledge to bring into the discussion. But now practically everyone in politics - and the media - are virtual clones. Practically all the same. The same personalities, the same education (or lack of) the same backgrounds, the same experiences, and crucially, the same failure to differentiate between the theory and the practice. We should change our political system to acknowledge the world has changed. One man’s opinion is as good as another. And crucially, a poor working man is just as entitled to vote for what’s good for him as those pretty vile people occupying parliament who vote for what’s best for them. And lastly, why weren’t MPs required to state any special interest they might have in our relationship with the EU? John Major is no longer an MP but he was Prime Minister, people listened to him but he didn’t bother to own up to living in Spain!

Excellent interview,well conducted . Thank you...

Liddle is stating as it is. London has changed beyond all recognition. It is a microcosm of the world with rampant communalism and ghettos. Not healthy in my opinion.

That was immense Rod......! Love this man , and his persuasive outlook .

Rod Liddle is a great chap.

Great discussion, thanks! Peak Wank made me giggle!

THE WHITE LONDON ELITE ALSO PREY ON THE WHITE WORKING, & EVEN SOME OF THE MIDDLE, CLASS MINORITY WITH LOW WAGES AND SHORT TERM/PART TIME/TEMPORARY CONTRACTS.

Refreshingly honest comments from an excellent journalist. We need people like him in parliament, but of course the system is loaded against free thinkers
