Critics branded the comments "disgusting" and "offensive", but the MEP told Emma Barnett people had interpreted her speech in a "melodramatic fashion" and that she stands by what she said.

What the hell did i just watch!
The BBC have become a joke.
@neil eastell The BBC is not left wing it is a state propaganda machine which serves the elite.
"Have become" ! It happened a long time ago :)
@@acb64 The left wind is also a propaganda machine which serves the elite. So BBC and the left ARE the same.
nataS a long time ago
Unfortunately the joke is wearing thin. It wasn't funny to begin with.
The "white privilege" question just made me cringe. What a bunch of nonsense.
I seriously can't believe this isn't some comedy sketch. Those glasses too, seriously?
Hope she was sacked for race baiting
What the bloody hell is wrong with the BBC, they can twist anything! Ann's speech was brilliant and to the point.
@Alice Rabbit a Talmudist even 🐇
Alice Rabbit What’s “the presenter is a Jew” got to do with price of cheese? She could well be a Zionist stooge but that’s completely different!
" I work for the BBC, I only know how to ask the same thing over and over again in slightly different phrasing.... DUUUH"
Like her horn rims help her think! Duh
How can this woman take payment from the supposed impartial BBC and then conduct this absurd pro EU interview, then criticize Ann for taking her EU wages? Crazy! Scrap the biased BBC asap please.
I feel oppressed by the BBC
Some do not understand the meaning of 'slaves'. You only have to look at Greece, they are owned by the EU
Yup it's terrible thing to be asked to replay the money you borrowed......
Maybe the Greeks should look at the leadership they had, the money borrowed, the projects it was spent on before blaming the EU for making funds available.
How dare they lend money to a member state huh.......
And the Gladiators were slaves in Rome.Is that Loaded? Each Brexiteer is Spartacus . Greece is still suffering and will continue to do so. The EU is punishing them still. She wasn:t just speaking about Black slaves cos that is what loaded means in the BBC. Ann W made her look a poor journalist
@@geoffgubbins6339 have you heard of Poe's law?
Try visiting Greece, you moron. The Greeks would be insulted by your remark, don’t talk about things you have no idea about.
Since when did slaves receive huge sums of money from their owners. By the way the Greek problem has been solved.
I believe it’s David Lamey that made an issue of Anne’s comments, and he’s a remainer so enuf said, sour grapes he’s just causing trouble.
There's alot of Lammys in the BBC
He would be the first name I would deport when the English take the country back at gunpoint if need be and yes I am ex British army!
David Lamey lost respect and showed what his real motives are as a politician when he turned this years Red Nose Day ( charity event for Africa) into a issue of racism against white people as they tried to help by raising awareness and money for African children. Subsequently less money was raised due to his remarks. Well done Mr Lamey you failed miserably!!!!
@@samrowbotham8914 I'd prefer that we don't have to go that far.
@@Mr_Lo_ I think its got to happen we are now surrounded on all sides by the Zionist and the Extreme Muslims. When the English have their backs to the wall that is when we man up and excel.

@@wotdoesthisbuttondo snowflake.
The bbc is awful these days, what happened to being impartial and listening to all points of view
What an ignorant interviewer. So typical of the BBC's front line whenever it covers anything to do with Brexit. Complain, and they'll reply by stating how balanced their coverage always is. Might just as well talk to the wall.
Not ignorant.... outrightly stupid
Oh wow you chaps in the UK have "journalists" like that also? Thought that kind of nonsense just lived over here in the States. Well, I know how ya feel
Sadly mate the Left wing Media in both nations have a higher platform! And they feed their poisoned views pain the weak minded. 😔
They ptotect child grooming gangs
@Alice Rabbit Andrew Neil is the worst of the lot . When he destroyed Ben Shapiro !
@Karl Pilkington cheers bullshit man!
Unfortunately two of the media bastions that serve the middle class - The Guardian and the BBC - are both extreme left wing white-man hating ideologically driven propaganda machines.
Although I disagree with Ann Widdecombe on just about everything, I have to admire the way she dealt with this ridiculous interviewer.
Her ability to refute stupid assertions and keep clarifying her points made it so obvious that the questioner was biased and hostile.
The BBC must have lost a good deal of credibility over this one interview alone -- they are clearly unfit for purpose.
The BBC lost credibility years ago
@@stevenwilcox8631 Unfortunately not with everyone Steven.
@@SmileyUna123 Logic is not Anne's strong point -- after all, she does worship an ancient tribal war-god, so we should not expect too much. The interviewer was ridiculous in my opinion -- you are welcome to yours.
Interviewer attitude was disgusting. Obviously pushing their narrative. End the BBC TV Tax.
You mean Widdecombe's attitude, surely
@Floopy Doopey I find the BBC pretty objective and unbiased. The fact that they even give interview time to that senile hag is proof that they are open to showing all points of view. Unlike propaganda oulets such as the Daily Mail or Brexit Central.
She must be talking via earpiece Anne made light work of her.
Well spoken Mrs Widdecome it is the real reason for leaving the EU oppression like in the time of slavery time for Britain to fight back yes leave
Only the BBC can make me take Ann Widecombe’s side...
Hahaha.. The BBC can bring out your feeling of being enslaved?
Innit🤣
Don't lie, you was already on her far right side.
Oppressed. The point was oppressed. If y'all were free, your vote would have actually lead to Brexit
Lewis I agree with you..... as a black man who's from a former British colony which was at the heart of the slave trade.....this is BS.... she was simply sighting as an example..patterns in history where oppressed people rebel......
This very persistent interviewer needs to look up the meaning of the word oppression. It doesn't just correspond one to one with slavery or the type of treatment slaves received. And it is definitely not loaded in the way that she suggests. It is a much more general word. Ask Noam Chomsky who is a frequent user of the word in many contexts. It's pretty much as general and as broad as the word freedom.
In actuality, oppression is one of the quintessential characteristics of present-day human society. It is the basis for capitalism and even more so neoliberal capitalism - although I note that neither Ann Widdecombe nor the interviewer, always acting on behalf of concentrated power and big money interests, dare not stray onto that topic.

It's very sad to see how low the bbc has sunk.
I live in the South West. I am happy to be represented by Ann Widdecombe. I am ashamed to be represented by the BBC.
@fifthof I voted for Carl. But UKIP was no match for the mighty Farage.
I'm not even British and this Interviewer is pissing me off! She really tried to put words in Ann's mouth didn't she!
I totally agree with her..if people are oppressed long enough they will rebel...you can only push people for so long..be it one person or an entire nation.
I'm watching this 2 years later. I didn't even who Ann Widdecombe was before this but.. Wow! She's an amazing lady!
If we only had one politician like her here in the States.
Like her or not she speaks her mind..not what she's been told to say or going with the majority like our politicians here.
You have Margery Taylor green. Annex is just as deranged
This is a shameful interview. Ann Widdecombe is crystal clear and pragmatic in this interview. The interviewer cannot be as stupid as she acts and understands exactly what Widdecombe said and meant. It just goes against BBC dogma. The closer we get to leaving the EU, the faster the BBC is deteriorating. The pace of the decline is staggering.
Jesus Christ...what the Hell is this country coming to ??? Ann hit the nail on the head with saying "this is becoming a silly argument" the BBC needs to be shut down now !!!
This host is really picking the wrong battle here. I’m no fan of Anne’s bleating, but the host is DELIBERATELY missing the point based on specific parsing of words. This is really painful, and stops us having real, genuine discussions.
What stops people having real discussions is the mindless hyperbole from people like ann widdecombe. The EU is a trading block made up of sovereign nations. Any country can leave. The UK voted to leave. When Ireland voted to leave the UK, the UK sent over troops and burned down the centre of Cork and machine gunned a football stadium full of people. When the peasants in the UK revolted against their masters they were put down. Slaves never had the option of voting to stop being slaves.
Considering the tens if not hundreds of millions of people that were killed or enslaved by the british over the centuries a comparison between colonisation & slavery and the EU is just sickening.
@@Graysonn1 What an enormous blind spot you have in your thinking.......worse than the interviewer
@@sarahjessicafarter7383 EU is a stinking pile of shit which needs cancelled.
@@lukeclayden8932 That's a slippery slope argument. You're saying that it's "like an increasing step towards the oppressive regimes, overlords, slavery masters and dictators" . By saying that you're saying it's not like that right now. The EU is a treaty organisation that gives any member the right to opt out. And the UK submitted article 50. And the only reason they haven't left is because they keep asking for extensions. It's nothing compared to slavery or feudalism. It's not colonialism. Look at the history of colonialism. Look at the tens if not hundreds of millions who were killed and enslaved by the british empire. tell me how that compares to being in a free trade organisation with freedom of movement that you can leave at any time.
It's offensive to every country that ever experienced british colonialism.
@@Graysonn1 I think its a good comparison, if the UK is 'free' to leave the EU why are we still a member after voting to leave over three years ago? The EU have proved impossible to deal with and May and the government have been walked all over by the bullying EU. You talk as if it was only the British that had an empire and slaves and remember it was Britain that was the first country to free slaves
ann please how can you say anyone on the bbc are intelligent??? thats like saying bojo and biden are intelligent!!!
Ann is absolutely right. She's great at debating. She should be in Boris' cabinet! And now, of course, WE'RE FREE FROM THE EU! Thanks, Ann, so much for all your hard work. You've been an amazing ambassador for Brexit.
Just when you think the BBC can't get any worse.
The uk will save Europe by leaving the Eu and showing how great we can be. Then more will follow suit
Then we can go back to fighting each other and let the Russians take over...think,what are the real benefits of leaving.
Look up the definition of TOOL in the dictionary and this presenters name will no doubt be HIGHLIGHTED in big shocking pink letters.
How many times must Ms. Widdecombe repeat herself? That's chic is just trying to pander, gaslight, and just be an ignorant jerk. I'm so proud of Ms. Widdecombe and stand by her 100%!
Ann Widdicombe is quality and right on the button, well done girl keep up the good work🇬🇧👍
She is wrong. Anyone who knows how the eu operates knows it democratic and these people lied. Hows brexit working out for you? Worked out you were lied to by the conservative tax dodging parasites yet?
This journalist doesn't have a clue, all the BBC is concerned about is linguistic engineering, which has been going on for decades.
VOTE BREXIT PARTY FOR THE FORTH COMING GENERAL ELECTION ...So far 2000 negative comments against the BBC and the interviewer, I wonder why?
Just like the former colonies of the British Empire turned on their oppressors??
Rick Melzi are you for real Rick? Yes the once usurped colonies were granted independence but they certainly did not obtain the power once held. Britain and its mongrel race still benefit from the stolen resources of their colonies. Commonwealth? My arse!
I see we have a lot of right wing supporters in the comments, can someone give me one example of us being oppressed by the EU? Not a generalisation like, 'we can't make our own laws', a specific case of us being oppressed.
I was wondering how many comments are from brand new accounts.
Not being able to make your own law isn't being oppressed? Do you know how empires work?
BBC staff desperately clicking like. The comments are unanimous.

You don't get it do you ? This is the type of people they LOVE, the brainwashed zombies that think like this and spout this Marxist nonsense, if you don't you'd get sacked immediately.
Where does “white privilege” come into this ? Such a bad interviewer!!
Slavery started in Africa long before europeans had slave s they still have slavery today in the middle East they only blame it only white people
Left wing pushing for the we love the minority angle.... British isnt a colour or relgion
That must be the worst interview since Cathy Newman v Jordan Peterson . Shocking .
At least Cathy was her own person. This presenter is a puppet pure and simple.
You don't watch Dianne Abbott then
This one is way worse ... is it real ?
Seem horribly produced?
@@mattstevensms60 Very good retort. Both are true haha.
tell me about it, what a stupid leftist!
This interviewer is completely second-rate and frankly a bit thick. It's disrespectful to employ such a mediocrity to interview a mind as sharp as Anne Widdecombe's. Clearer evidence of the BBC's bias - as well as disdain for those who fund their salaries - we could not wish for.

What's your opinion about her hopes for a cure of Homosexuality?
@@jedexodus8602sharp as a baby's bum
Was this really broadcast on the BBC???? This is not only an awful interview but horribly produced!!
Why, she dodged two very reasonable questions: 1. Why she used loaded language in parliament. She changed the subject. 2. Does she feel opressed picking up an EU salary and pension? Dodged it again. She's a journalist, it's her job to ask questions. Reading all the comments here the central argument appears to be right wingers not liking the line of questioning. It you don't understand how absurd that is when you take into account her 'job description' then it's no wonder we have Brexit.
@@jedexodus8602 Der! She did answer the questions but the dumb interviewer wasn't wanting to listen to the answers and it looks by your comment, you didn't listen either! If she was a Tory MEP/MP she wouldn't have even been interviewed by the Tory biased BBC! She was right to make that 90 second speech because it is true in what she said!

Stop paying your licence fee.
Haven't paid it since December and this kind of nonsense is the reason why.
Stopped paying it 12 years ago same time as I stopped paying Council Tax. When are you going to catch up with moi?
If they love the EU so much maybe they can get then to pay their funding. Have you ever seen a programme on the BBC where they complain about anything the EU has done or said?
I've never paid for it in my life. Seriously .
@@samrowbotham8914 how can you stop paying council tax? They send bailiffs for that and those ones have the right to break in unlike regular bailiffs because you owe the government money.

What drugs are you on?
@@SSJfraz Mad! Mental! It can't be explained to you.
@@JamesBenedictJones Of course not. Her racist slavering gibberish would have to actually make sense first!
@@SSJfraz To be fair the interviewer didn't acquit herself particularly well in the face of three obvious facts:
1. We asked to join the EU (both the EEC and the EU)
2. We signed a treaty to join the EU (technically to form it, but that's semantics)
3. The EU is not blocking us from leaving - they've been accommodating wherever they could be and facilitated Theresa May's red lines (not theirs), but they are obligated to look after their members (just like they still do for us when facing other countries). Our own parliament has refused to accept the only possible deal (given the red lines that WE put in place) on the grounds that it's not as good as membership. Well of course it bloody isn't you fuckwits, you're just too cowardly to admit in front of the baying crowd of pillocks that elect you that there is no form of leaving that is better than staying.
Is the BBC even capable of listening any more ? That interviewer is just embarrassing. I'm guessing the brief was "Try and make Ann look bad". Massive Fail...

Her movement of her glasses didn't make her look any smarter just another dimwit given an agenda by the BBC.
@Alice Rabbit And of what relevance is that? Or are you a member of the Labour Party, to whom that seems to be a bit of an issue?
Haha the host robot short circuited!!! Can't compute.... simple logic...
Self destructing on mainstream tv....
Considering that this thing appears to be neither male nor female, clearly tries to disguise its real looks with an ill fitting wig and ridiculous glasses, and is unable to understand even simple logic, I think you are right - it's a robot. The alternative, that this thing could be human, doesn't bare thinking about!
The bbc really will hire anyone, Widdecombe was being very generous by calling this bbc reporter intelligent.
@trf12567 Sort of like... _Sex SLAVERY?_ I'm not familiar with the story, but I wonder..
Part of me suspects that Ann may have been being sarcastic and was humouring her.
It's called "Killing them with Kindness". Everybody has this ability but Brits especially have this skill in S-rank level.
What a willing dunce
This is a ridiculous interview. I’m not fan of Ann Widdocombe but she well dealing with this ignorant interviewer that didn’t properly listen a word she said.
same
I'm divided. Should I dislike the video for the rubbish and silly repetitions that interviewer just spouted out, or like the video for Ann's brilliant and reasonable intervention? 🤔
Let's play safe, let's dislike.
Yeah, you guessed right. The vote is for the author's work, not the subject or content. It's basically voting on production, direction, narration, etc. This qualifies as a down-vote for sure. I wouldn't be surprised if they close and delete these comments and do the same with the votes out of sheer embarrassment. If you don't have it already, install the Dissenter add-on / extension. Or better still, just download Dissenter browser. These twerps will *never* silence us.
"So what you're really saying is..."
What is it with BBC blond bints & their disingenuous narrative spinning?
Politically Incorrect What are you even talking about? Im on Anns side you idiot
The interviewer is like those people in the office who quibble about which words are used in a meeting to avoid actually tackling the issues at hand.
What else is an interviewer supposed to do except 'quibble' over the words that other prominent and influential figures are using? Perhaps you would be happier if they had a conversation about Ann's clothes?
Look up the word demagogue, demagogues need to be challenged on the words that they are using, no matter what their stripes are. The demagogue is completely dependent on false equivalence, for example - the comparison of the EU to that of other nations being taken over by an empire, or slaves being owned and oppressed. It is a false comparison, one that is designed to rile up their voter base, that is it. If you are worried about empires taking over worry about the United States, their corporations are salivating at the prospect we are leaving the EU and they are ready with their tentacles to take over our economy and they are not very democratic either.
If this is the level of debate among leavers then i proudly call myself a remainer., the interviewer, in my opinion,asked some good questions that were relevant.
@@l000tube I would argue that introducing an e.u. national anthem shows their aspirations for the future of Europe, it implies that the e.u. parliment want a European superstate when the actual inhabitants of Europe never wanted this and wish to remain separate countries. As for the USA getting involved, how do you know this is a bad thing as it's never been tried? You say the US is "not very democratic" yet you wish for the UK to stay in the e.u. alliance along side countries like Turkey, your thoughts hold little, if no weight whatsoever.
@me hee Definitely a hero of mine. She's wonderfully pro ENGLISH. Love Ann. LOVE England!! Fuck the EU. BRING ON BREXIT!!!!
@Avi A well said!!!
They do think that it's their duty to tell us all - including elected politicians - what we should Think. We don't need the BBC. It has become something dark and grotesque.
Bbc you should sack this reporter she clearly doesn't have the intellect to hold a conversation.
Well done Ann keep up the good work.
Nothing new to see here.
That makes her perfect for the BBC
I'm very much a leftie but this interviewer is terrible. I don't think Ann did anything wrong here.
All the effort spent being outraged on behalf of others. While ingoring the obvious point she was making makes the bbc seem like idiots. Also nobody found it ironic about Britain being equated to a colony of an empire
Liam Bowbrick the outrage on behalf of others is annoying. I see white people calling other white people racist on behalf of a Black people when no Black people are complaining. I have seen dozens of UA-cam channels (white people) I follow suffer being branded racist and far-right. I’m a Black man of Jamaican parentage and there is no fcking way I’d be subscribed to these channels if they were racist!!! It’s ridiculous. Worse still is I am not a ‘coconut’ or anything. I’m v v interested in the Black UA-cam channels that are being censored. It’s a joke. Funnily enough, I saw a two militant black activists on some white supremacist radio show, and they got along fine, but some dckhead nut jobs were calling in trying to stir up arguments. The things the white supremacist hated about blacks...the black militant hated about Blacks also.
@@liambowbrick3917 The EU is not colonising the UK... it is simply a trading block that we are granted the freedom to leave.

You are lucky you have such courageous people like Anne Widdecombe standing up for your country. I wish we could leave the EU, too......
Look, I'm remain, but the BBC interviewer is trying to create a straw man. She should ask her if all forms of rebellion are signs of oppression, and for examples of oppression from the EU, this would have led to a more productive discussion and I would have learned something from this as a viewer. Frankly, the BBC interviewer failed as a journalist as she's not extracting information for the viewer; instead she's trying to score points over a controversial parliamentarian.
yes.. bbc used to be cutting edge and real - now throwing around fashionable but in this case meaningless words like "white privilege" ..
"white privilege" does have real relevance to too many situations but feck all to do with how this usually deranged lady is making her reasonably coherent argument here..
Good criticism of the interviewer. But, most black people know that the Brexit lady is full of shit.
Pakpala, what part of the BBC do you work for? If you don't work for them, you're shilling is embarrassing.
I am Black-American. Please explain to me how the British people have been oppressed by the EU? Given your history you probably should not be throwing stones in your imperial glass house.
they haven't been oppressed by the EU.the Brits oppressed half of the world with their slavery & their colonies.
The same BBC tripe as usual.
My father was a slave.
He's was also in Africa.
He was white.
Fought in Tunisia as part of the 1st Army.
Took prisoner in Italy at Anzio in 1944
Worker as a slave labourer in Magdeburg - came back weighing 71/2 stone. (worked for IG Farben - now know as BASF)
No Blacks do not have ownership over the term "Slavery" or "Slaves".
Fair point, isn't the word slave from the slavs taken as slaves by the Islamic slave trade. The Africans sold one another into slavery and wasn't it was a white man who brought about abolishing it. Just shows how pathetic this country is getting. New government needed.
@@admorgz totally agree. What does wind me up is the term African American used an excuse for under achievement. They have never been to Africa and never been slaves - they are American born and bred. Yes, there are big problems in America with the racial divide - but segregating yourself off and blaming something that happened over 100 years ago certainly isn't going to help.

All MPs have RobinTilbrook MP and solicitor has put a judicial review into court and was ruled in his absence (they waited until he has 2 week holiday and rushed it thro giving 7 days to appeal) and the verdict "no case - without merit". The withdrawal bill gave EU 2 yrs notice UK and if they didn't pass the Teresa May's Deal (which was drawn up by the EU and passed to Merkle and Marcon before May saw it!!) then UK left without a deal and on WTO rules for trade. All MPs have a copy of the court case and there was a 3hr debate in the commons. Media has blocked any news as they are controlled by the globalists. They only way to get this out is by the people sharing and ringing/writing to local media. Graham Moore on FB/Twitter (aka Daddy Dragon You Tube) has good understanding of the constitutional law and is friends with Robin and creates videos about this case. Why is Farage silent?

@@irish9boy we’ve moved on. You must be one of the oppressed!
Just another reason why the BBC should be shut down!!
I agree with Ann Widdecombe, she made many other references such as european history, colonialism, peasantry - the feudal system historically speaking... #Brexit #Blexit
I am glad that my early family members migrated to USA
Dear blackbritgayl. As you used the word "European" you surely (or are you not European) really do not exclude Britain: Super Colonial power, nearly annihalated the Maoris, the Aborigines. Slave triangle (ever heard of it?) Making Jamaica a slave Prison, separating families. Feudal - of Course, you mean the Lords in your Country, fox Hunting, a Royal Family that is not able to unite the Country but take millions. The UK is strong in other areas. But colonism is a rather irrelevant example though, of course, the attitude towards the Third World was quite a different one in the past.
Her analogies are flawed.
The difference is that all EU members have the same rights and duties, whereas in
1. colony - empire relationship the empire is privileged over the colonies
2. peasant-feudal lord relationship the feudal lord is privileged over the peasant
3. slave - slave master relationship the slave master is privileged over the slaves
The UK can't control its borders in the sense that all EU citizens have the right to work in the UK, but that's not "oppression" that's a mutual right. All other EU member countries also have to let all EU citizens work in their country, including UK citizens of which there are 2 million who live and work in other countries.
The UK must adhere to the EU directives, but so must all other EU member countries and they themselves have made and agreed to the EU directives in the EU council, where each member country including the UK has a representative and veto power.
The European Union IS the Union of its member countries. All EU representatives are elected by their member countries. It's not some feudal lord above the member countries. It consists of the member countries themselves.
Show me a union of countries that's fairer or more democratic than the EU. There is none. The british empire certainly wasn't democratic. It had no council were each colony was equally represented. The colonies had to obey the orders of the UK. That's different in the EU, where all members are equal and furthermore all members joined by themselves whereas in the UK empire the colonies were conquered violently in war.
It is a privilege and benefit to be an EU member. That's why many other countries like Macedonia, Albania and Croatia want to join the EU, too.

Well done BBC, even though you can cut the interview like you want, you still didn't manage to make your interviewer look like a rational person. Maybe you should fire her, and find someone who can listen to what the interviewed says. You make remainers look like lunatics.
Greatings from Austria.
@Gaius Agricola I really don't get how it suddenly became about race. Marx used the comparison between the slaves peasants and workers too. The Europeans, over the last 2000 years, have been slaves, then slavelike peasentry, then factory workers and still today many white Europeans have no choice but to work in shitty conditions. I mean I get that black slaves had to suffer, but so did the Germanic slaves in Rome, Greece and later Slavic and Germanic slaves in the Ottoman empire. It shouldn't be about which race suffered the most, but about the conflict of class. Racism is a separate issue, which definitely exists, but shouldn't always be brought up if you lose an argument.

@@WynMills1 you are a lunatic good luck you'll need it
For all those that haven't cancelled their TV licence yet, what are you waiting for? Surely this video should be all the motivation you need.
The point of s journalist is to ask questions...just cos those questions expose some one for what they are .....playing to a select audience..being plainly stupid ....uf people were oppressed ut was by this tory shit show government ...im power now 8 years ...and things no better ...they cang blame anyone but themselves..but no they blame the eu for it all ....and vote out...i hope we do come out now ..think thease brexiters need a hard lesson......harder the better i say
.let them suffer...lose jobs ..i don't fuckjn care anymore ....and one more thing..all the folk o know that voted leave ..and theres lots of them...did it cos of brown muslims ..taking over and llegal imigrents here doing all the jobs while claiming all benicits and a free houses thrown in ....yet its a totaly white area here....fuckwits stuffing there heads with shit ...
Because I don’t want to and wtf are you talking about, nothing here is licence cancelling material Matthew.
Cancelled myT V licence many years ago now, partly because got fed up with this sort of biased, ignorant, naive and frankly stupid interviewing.. but this one REALLY takes the biscuit !!!

I don't watch the BBC anymore, yet am expected to pay them to push an agenda and narrative that I am diametrically opposed to. I would not have such an issue if they actually were impartial but we all know they are not, so in ways it is actually criminal what this organization is doing. It is telling us the water is lovely in their ocean, if we don't swim in it, they will force us to walk their plank, jump into the water only to find it is infested with sharks.
@@Imperial_Boltgun FUKKIN IDIOT! YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THE ANALOGY. GO BACK TO SCHOOLL YOU DUMB RUSSIAN HACK
Ann Widdecombe: "Well elucidated point with no equivocation."
Emma Barnett: "I'm going to selectively interpret everything you say until it in no way resembles anything you've actually said, then demand you justify the false narrative I've created." "Then, when I can't get you to agree with my narrative, I'll ignore your responses and continue asking the same thing over and over."
It's a repeat of Jordan Peterson's interview by Cathy Newman, but at least Cathy had the foresight not to appear as a caricature of Women's Studies graduate vacillating between tears and outrage that someone dare express ideas she didn't like.
The interview is a disgrace and should be fired ASAP, trying to take what she said out of meaning what a disgrace from the BBC yet again
What a gormless interviewer! Typical skewed BBC mindset.
Poor attempt by the BBC. Ann Widdecombe brushed this aside like it was nothing. Simply going down the route of throwing out phrases such as "white privilege" to try and make her feel like she needed to back track or risk looking to be politically incorrect, failed miserably.
The BBC are not fit for purpose, how dare you claim to be impartial when you produce that kind of interview! Disgraceful!
She is a moron, the interview shows her up as a bigot and a moron.
At the end of the interview she highlights her support from fellow short sighted morons BUT it does not make her comments in the EU parliment any less moronic
De fund the BBC. Scrap the licence. flog it off and let it survive with advertising or die.
"OK I understand you were speaking metaphorically - but why are you speaking literally?"
"I was speaking metaphorically"
"OK I understand you were speaking metaphorically - but why were you speaking literally?"
Continues ad-nauseum.
More accurate to say, I understand you were just providing examples of a case, i understand the argument, and I understand that is isn't a comparison, but how can you diminish slaves to just being an example? Speaking of them in anyway that isn't all about them is wrong, can't use them as an example as that removes the meaning of their suffering.
BBC are just a complete joke..Presenter should be ashamed of herself for trying to take it down that road...Keep fighting Anne
Not only the BBC, but ALL western European media. That's why LOTS OF "Alternate-fake-news-media-sites" are being pulled of the internet. That's why sites like this are shutting down millions of accounts. To keep us in the dark, to let us sleep.
But the awakening has begun: www.bitchute.com/video/LuUR9zXo8WRD/
By the way: GREAT alternative for this site that can't be downed, because it is peer to peer ;)
One of the worst interviews I've ever seen.
Go for it Ann Widdecombe, go.
I thought I was going mad watching this interview. Such a relief to find other people find it appalling!
Many UK citizens now regard the BBC as a bloated state run unwanted expense.
The blessed Biased Broadcasting Corporation - I hate watching the BBC and I no longer watch this biased organisation
@Diana Mitford totally agree.
@Diana Mitford My Grandfather came to this country to help with war efforts. Since then we have abided by the laws and put more money in to the system than we have taken out. My son is training to be a doctor. I'm not sure why you are referring to my family members. Black people aren't 'an expense' they are just people with a different skin colour to you. I don't understand how you can be so brazenly racist and think that is ok. I look around my neighbourhood and the biggest benefit scroungers are white families with more kids than they can afford yet I would never think of them as an 'unwanted expense'. They are people who have fallen on hard times, this can happen to anyone, regardless of skin colour. You really do have a disgustingly bigoted point of view. Shame on you.
@Diana Mitford Mauritius is doing very well thank you. But I do not consider it my home, I have always lived here and I have always identified as being British. What does that have to do with anything? You need to take a look in the mirror and realise that you are a racist, you are not better/worse than someone because of skin colour!
@Diana Mitford Is that another racist slur? I hope you never have to go through what my family does. Things seemed fine 5 years ago, we got a bit of abuse every now and again but only from racist idiots. Now a day doesn't go by where we aren't treated like second class citizens. I want to move away but my sons studies will be a waste if we do. All he ever wanted was to help sick people yet he fears going outside because people insult him based on the colour of his skin. It is so sad that one of the most caring people I've ever known is treated like a terrorist by people like you. It really is disgustingly sad.
I live in Bristol and I am only too delighted that Ann is representing me. Ann is clearly becoming Nigel's second in command and it's easy to see why. WE LOVE YOU ANN!!! X

Classic British battle-axe. Nice work Widders!
She's an old boot isn't she?
@@philster611-ih8te we need some of her in our Congress.
Tough bird. And I mean that in the most complimentary way.
If this is the best the BBC can do it's no wonder people are talking about cancelling their licenses.
A total bimbo interviewer going round and round the same subject trying to make Anne look bad.
She was totally out of her class.
She would be better off interviewing farmers on the type of crops they grow she may be able to do that in one pass but I wouldn't put money on it.
I think Emma Barnett's abuse of the phrase "white privilege" was wrong to say.
@glyn hodges Because the stupid interviewer only thinks black people were slaves.
I'm absolutely flabbergasted by this crazy idiotic interviewer. Brexit is chaotic enough - and now we can't even discuss the topic. The media have let us down as badly as the politicians.
its nice to watch another interviewer getting slaughtered on live tv
Soon as she said that she lost any credibility in my opinion.
This is the final straw for me, I'm not renewing my TV license. I've had enough. To think my money is funding BBC salaries is tolerable no longer.
Good riddance.
If it has taken this long to make a decision regarding you renewing your TV Tax, then you must have been under a rock for countless Years.
Good Lord! What iniquities British people have to endure...and they have to even pay money for them...
Especially paying a salary to a non-presenter like this one. I don’t know where she studied journalism but I think she should ask for her money back!
@leicanoct yes, basically if one watches a live broadcast, whether online, on TV, a mobile phone etc, one needs a TV licence. So if anyone cancels their TV licence, they also have to give up all live broadcasting. A bit impractical.
The Interviewer that answers Yes to 'Are you a Robot'. I understood what Ann meant clearly and this typical BBC patronising interrogation made it even clearer that the oppression is not just in the EU.
well said
Muh oppression
Lets not forget the British have been the largest oppressors the world has ever seen !
@@peterkirk123 yes. And if you look at the treatment of immigrants, e.g. Windrush Scandal, the Brits are still trying their best to be that.
Muh oppression
I never liked Widdecombe, but the BBC is selling her hard in this interview. It's an extraordinarily shoddy interview laden with straw man arguments and cringey false equivalences, deftly and easily slapped down by Widdecombe. The BBC earns an emphatic down vote from me.
Dont give money to them protecting rape gangs would be a clever move my friend.
How embarrassing for the BBC this interview was! The overall impression was that of an adult trying to explain some basic communication issues to an obstinate child. How does it feel BBC to project such an infantile public image? I hope this video goes viral to highlight BBC's transparent partisanship. Have a good look Britons at the sad state of your institutions and clean house for the sake of your children.
Maybe young lady you would like to comment on present day slavery in the Middle East for example.

This interviewer represents all that is wrong with journalism today in an almost perfect manner. Well done.
End the BBC License Fee are powerful words. Stop making pensioners pay the licence fee some more powerful words but they don't seem to want to listen to them. I cannot listen to their hypocrisy anymore. I feel oppressed having to pay a license fee for biased bad journalism, constant repeats and generally poor quality tv that I would be heavily fined for if I didn't. Onwards with Brexit!

Dear god in heaven, the absolute state of BBC interviewers. And they wonder why we want to can the licence fee.
The interviewer correctly highlighted the arrogance that comes from white privilege and RW bigotry/ignorance. Your hate for the news stems from your inability to bear hearing the truth.
@@dominantallele4216 Are you for real? You sound like you've been completely brainwashed by the left. I have no hate for real news, only scorn for journalists who have no real interest in properly interviewing politicians to find out their real views, and are only interested in scoring points in pursuit of their own biased, bigoted, hateful left wing agenda.
@RoadKillzine she's not white, she's a jewess, and she HATES whites with a burning, barely suppressed murderous rage.
@@archieclifford5616 The interviewer focussed on what Widdicombe factually said. She clearly exaggerated revealing a false equivalence. Anyone who believes the UK, as the 5th largest economy, is 'oppressed' or denies white privilege is simply brainless and pursuing a biased, bigoted, hateful right wing agenda. NO slave ever did so well under oppression.
Stpp watching bbc then. Just a suggestion. You can't. It's like cnn.
BBC using the white privilege line OMG LOL
Well said Ann Widdecombe; the Biased Broadcasting Corporation can go to Hell!
Yes. She's bang on point.
The British public felt so oppressed that 52% of them voted to leave the EU.
The other 48% were distracted by Eastenders.

That said, someone has been working very hard to try and suppress any connection between her and her parents' activities.
The irony of being a journalist and covering the past of her own privilege through the enslavement of women into prostitution by her parents.

Jesus Wept, this interviewer is horrendous.
I can’t believe our TV licence is funding such terrible interviewing. |Im not a fan of some of Annes views, but I do feel she was spot in not just in the EU Parliament, but also in this interview also.
Dear Lord, I thought this was a live version of the Titania McGrath parody account.
Hi BBC, iv found this video because of my favourite Romanian UA-cam. You're literally a multinational laughing stock. No TV licence money from me any more.
When Gypsies are laughing at you, you know you're an embarrassment.
