David Dimbleby gives his stark analysis ahead of the UK General Election | Newscast
We are BBC Sounds. The home of binge-worthy podcasts, music curated by music lovers and live radio.
He wasn’t making bold comments, Dimbleby was just stating the obvious.
The interviewer was partial: pro-Tory
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.
@@FishingFan2 no fruit pickers no care workers - why do you think that is? Because we need immigrants when you lot are far too lazy to the jobs which are here. NHS couldn’t survive without immigrants - sick of ignorant people!
David Dimbleby. A true impartial journalist. He must be so disappointed in the standard of journalism today.
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
David Dimbleby - the BBC is a poorer place without you. You are missed .
( by a former BBC viewer / listener )
He doesn't look very well.
The very fact that Adam thinks if you state "the country is in a dreadful state" that's not impartial demonstrates precisely what's wrong with journalism, and why coverage of this election has been absolutely shameful.
Of course, Chris Mason, Laura K and Adam would never think the country is in a state as all 3 of them are privately educated - which is why journalists in this country like those 3 are absolutely DREADFUL at their jobs.
At least Dimbleby knew and still knows how to do the job properly!
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.
👍
Good to see the senior broadcaster speak clearly, concisely and intelligently. And then there is the teen with the tash: 'Erm, I mean, kindov like, you know, erm, mmmmm, kindov national, true true, actually do you know what? kindov like erm, yeah." How BBC standards have plummeted!
Couldn't put it better myself. Have a like.
Along with education standards, wonder if he did a media degree
Question Time isn’t the same without Mr Dimbleby.
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.
I genuinely hope that the new government will look at the BBC and address the outrageous appointments that were made under Boris Johnson's disreputable reign, especially with regard to the bogus application of 'impartiality' which has effectively been a mechanism by which to quell honest reporting on the government of the day.
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)🙄
The little activist disguised as a journalist just got schooled by Dimbleby on having the spine to speak 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.
End the two party system.
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.
"I don't know what impartiality is".
That an interesting statement
I could have listened To David all day.He speaks from the heart and its is a dying art.Such a class broadcaster.
Yes we all know that the BBCs definition of impartiality is very different from a dictionaries.
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.
The bloke with the mustache should look up "impartial " in a dictionary.
I dreadful miss David. His intellect and gravitas are sorely missed.
Listening to David was brilliant, as he saying what is happening and what the country is facing. Miss him on Question Time.
Giving Adam a masterclass
The country died 20 years ago, and nobody attended the funeral 😢
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
I miss David Dimbleby, hes a class act
BBC won't invite him on again, being impartial 🤦♀️ a real journalist 🇬🇧
Yes that isn’t the way the BBC rolls these days
Oh they will that’s why ADAM tacheman was back peddling as fast as he could.
Everyone at the BBC has been forced for years to be balanced and always give both sides of any argument equal weight. But it's nonsense. What matters is not balance but objectivity. A broadcaster should not express their broad political views but on any given issue they should present the facts as best they are known. Dimbleby has always been objective and I have never had a clue what his general political beliefs are. When he says that the country is in a terrible state, that's just true and should be reported.
David Dimbleby should be doing the coverage on tv tonight. He should also have done the Coronation. Wise words from a proper journalist.
The gulf between these two, today vesus yesterday, a clear indication of why our country is in such a perilous state.
"...BBC impartiality"...?? Clearly - and understandably - he couldn't keep a straight face when he actually used those very words. It's a phrase we can finally throw away once and for all as an historic artefact, along with "journalistic integrity".
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.
Ginger got taught a lesson there
As did you.
@@WillyYang-qv6de Bot
Impartial? The BBC..lol.
Wish he was back on Question Time, that Fiona woman who presents it now is terrible
The host wouldn’t know what impartiality was even if it hit him in the face.
Scrapping the licence fee is one step the new government needs to take
Agreed they act like the gestapo
Cleaning up the countries streets and dealing with the illegal fly tipping problems would be a good start and creating long term environmental solutions to ensure clean streams, rivers, lakes and waterways.
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.
I really is depressing the state of the beeb, how do they find these people so lacking in personality or intellect?
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.
One of my memories of Dimnlebey was when i woke up on the morning of the day after the brexit vote to see him sitting utterly bewildered saying, "we are out..." It's the first and last time i actually queationed his reporting. I couldn't believe it either. He knew then, like i and miklions of others, that this was a masaive blunder on the part of the UK and that has been found to be the case
14 years of Tory rule and and mass immigration and following WEF policies have led the UK to near collapse. 8 billion pounds a year spent on illegal young men economic migrants, think how many houses could have been built for the UK young who have no chance of getting a home, it's madness I cry for my country 😢😢
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.
He is right he does not know what impartiality is and never has done
I won't be watching the BBC again after Question Time.
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
There's a clip of David Dimbleby in the 1955(!) election broadcast, from the count at Exeter. He hands back to the studio, where his father Richard is leading the coverage, and Richard says "thank you my boy".
Good man!
Thanks Adam and David. It's 2.27 and i've been having big trouble sleeping but your conversations has done the trick. Night night.
Once puberty kicks in that moustache could really take off.
The nerve of the host to mention BBC and impartiality in the same sentence 😅
This segment encapsulated what broadcast journalism used to be and what it has become.
Worked with him once - a nice guy !
Britain needs modernizing in every way, especially infrastructure roads, hospitals, transport, airports etc and especially the housing market.
Where these big corporate house builders seem to build exactly same crappy housing estates for incredibly overpriced £300,000!
More apartment complexes and condos with garages needed
The country is in a horrible mess. Regardless of who you vote for, for god's sake not those Tory jokers every again. Let's learn our lesson, Britain.
Adam needs to find a different area of media. He comes across as a chatterbox, He would be right at home on daytime TV and reality TV. Hes not for deeply serious issues Im afraid.
Oh I love him. I've watched him for easily 50 years. Brilliant
"Speak truth to power". If only the BBC could learn how to do that and be genuinely impartial.
I VOTED REFORM - Give us our country back!
Has it been taken?
No matter what one's political allegiances are I think everybody would agree that the country, along with much of the rest of the world, is in an unsettled, anxious position, so to state that fact, as David Dimbleby did, is being impartial.
End the BBC licence fee tax which takes £4bn from the public each year
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 TH-cam. 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 😅
It's a pity journalists couldn't ask the painful questions in this election, like can Britain cope with 750,000 immigrants a year and no build new houses etc.
But David, there was a lovely dawn on Friday morning, I saw it, it was magnificent.
I miss Dimbleby. Respect him as an interviewer, never afraid to say it as it is.
Agree entirely with David. The BBC does not know what ‘impartiality’ means. Journalists should stand up to the stupidity. Doing analysis is not being ‘partial’!
“BBC impartial” 😂😂😂😂 good joke
This is the country we live in folks, Don't dare tell the truth if you want to be elected.
WHAT
A Difference between the Brilliant Dimbleby & this Cue Card Reader.
Same as Chalk & Cheese
I moved to New Zealand in 2000 - I’ve been shocked since 2014 (spending 3 - 6 months a year back home) at how fucked the UK is - austerity, Brexit and successive incompetent government
And all your talented young people are moving to Australia !
@@coldporridge4145 that’s because our current right wing govt is awful
New right wing govt.
The difference in quality between old journalists and new ones
In his era BBC was respected today it's opposite and if reform perform well might have different BBC in days to come
Thank God they won’t
Wouldn't call this fool a journalist at all. So miss Dimbleby!
Vote *REFORM* 🇬🇧🚀💥💪🏾
Problems mentioned… He forgot : IMMIGRATION… WHY?
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.
He is & will always be a legend in his own mind, to the rest of us utterly boring!
David Dimbleby shows a great deal of gravitas.
Has everyone forgotten what Labor Deputy says some thing like "all Illegal immigrants will be place all over the UK " and people want to vote for Labor!!
gibberish
@@swordblaster2596 Nono, she actually said that in the last week of June. There’s a reason they’re not saying it in the TV debates.
You sound like a krembot, with spelling to match.
It was them who brought them in in the first place. Labour despise Britain
It’s Labour!
Has anyone read 1984? If so, remember O’Brien (O’Brian?)… this man sums him up to me.
How I wish Dimbleby was hosting tonight’s election coverage. He had real gravitas and gave the event the importance and urgency it deserved.
Vote Reform everybody
That was brilliant
0:39 Understatement. 1:46 You mean Mr Dimbleby said exactly what he thinks. Shock horror for all those silly little jelly babies with their book of rules in the BBC.
I love how age, intelligence and experience allows you the ability to tell it as it really is with confidence and the most eloquent put downs of a silly interviewer.
Adam, Laura and Chris are extremely frustrating to listen to. David Dimbleby is talking sense.
Great to see David Dimbleby again. He should be interviewed more often as a commentator on politics now he isn't the BBC figurehead. Much more informed than many talking heads we hear.
Humanity is full filling its destiny.
Thanks for posting
Another pampered, PC interviewer, well said David.
There's absolutely nothing 'bold' about speaking the truth... or maybe in today's world that is the 'bold' stance.
The only way out is the New Reform party, vote Reform get Reform.
if you want a private heath service crack on
"I don't know what impartiality is." admission of the blindingly obvious!
Class act. Dimbleby. Class....
For Starmer to lay out what he will do once in office, would absolutely decimate any possibility whatsoever of Labour ever getting elected, now, or ever.
Dimbleby's remarks are what you would expect of someone who has probably done very well himself
Wait - you asked about Gaza and Ivonne Ridley, then the other presenters came in and diverted the theme. Why?
Nice to see DD again. Presenter needs to learn to listen more carefully. His faux pas at 1:05 could have led to the interview breaking down. Good job DD was above this.
The excuses have began and the winner hasn’t been selected yet…how can the problems be fixed if we don’t have standards of service for politicians…do they get measured against performance related statistics? Until the establishment hold politicians to similar standards as the working man or woman then there really isn’t any point in voting…politicians need to be put through disciplinary protocols and asked to explain why they didn’t honour their manifesto promises…I’m 57 and I’m registered disabled and privileged intellectual types from private education backgrounds can’t work this out - I reckon that alone is either deliberate manipulation or negligence..!😇
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!
It's perfectly impartial to state Britain is broken because it's self-evident.
Nothing to do with not having his BBC Impartiality Hat On. What nonsense!
Britain is broken. Choose the real solution. Vote Reform. Get everyone out to vote with photo ID. Show them what we want and what we can do. Britain is broken and needs Reform. Vote Reform X, vote Reform X, vote Reform X
Why, precisely, are we in a "bad way", david?
and emperor palpatine is here! hello sheev
I like how happy the presenter is good energy he probably knows the tories are toast within 24 hours
His journalism is almost as convincing as his 1940's moustache.
Rightful criticism on a government isn’t impartial, saying another party would sort it out in ten minutes is, you can be impartial and honest about a particular party at the same time
Wow, this is like when we seen Bilbo at Rivendell.
There WAS one election which was fought on the big issues and a clear programme - 2017 and Corbyn's Labour Party. By so doing, they made up a 16 percentage points and came close to winning.
The second one Corbyn fought was also fought on those same issues, however, and he was slaughtered. Mainly because the extra-big issues of national security, foreign affairs and international relations were also fought over that time.
Corbyn was the biggest vote loser ever - Starmer will only win tomorrow because the conservatives are no longer conservative.
Close to winning in a first past the post system is simply losing.
@@Afterthoughtbtwnah 2019 was just another Brexit referendum
.....but lost
Rishi Sunak is PM not through election(not chosen by the people) but chosen by his party to replace the Prime Minister who resigned.
Rome wasn't built in a day but surely 14 years was more than long enough for improvement. Time to vote them out
What an opening statement ...........
This bloke's treading water. He's too scared to state the obvious.
We have been digging this hole we are now stood in for fourteen years!. It won't be filled in months, it will take years and years.🤔🤨😒......
Its good to see David Dimbleby. We do miss him from Question time. However, the new presenter, Fiona Bruce does a good job.
We are in a mess as a country, it is so sad to see how Britain has been let down. Particularly, the caring NHS workers who are fed up with being over worked and definitely under paid. Watching their colleagues leave in their droves and dreaming of reacting the same. British people allow these sell outs too much power who don't even represent or care for the people. The few MP's that do care are bullied into silence and submission or they are forced out. Brits have felt powerless, demoralised, exhausted and losing the will because there is no real, genuine leader to build the country back better. Not temporarily, but to grow in every area, to celebrate the compassinate, to lift up the needy, sick and disabled, to give a fighting chance to the young with better ooportunities, to train their own to fill positions vital to the UK infrastructure. Look after the pensioners with rewards for their efforts over their working life. Give pensioners free tv licence and other consessuins. Get a tight grip on immigration and reduce payments to France based on the numbers of immigrants they allow to cross their SAFE COUTNRY to the UK. Impose financial penalitues on SAFE countries that break their agreement and let 1000's of ummigtanyscto conecticthe UK. The UK fit into France twice, we are a small Island. This is everybodies problem bot the small island of the UK. The Spanish, Dutch, Greeks are also respsonsible for this mess.
