What exactly do you mean corruption",?-It can mean everything and anything from rusting to accepting bribes, what do you seek to convey when youse the word corruption or are you merely using it as a cognate of diddums-doesn't-like- it?-or more simply you call anything you don't like corruption, which makes it a net that will catch all or any fish, thus it becomes meaningless unless you are specific; broadly speaking Xis " corrupt" if and only if he accepts bribes, but if you use it as a blanket catch-all term it loses all meaning. You need to understand that if everything and everyone is corrupt, then necessarily nothing and no-one is corrupt wonder if you*can* understand that. If you use words indiscriminately, you convey or communicate nothing. What*in particular* is called corruption "everywhere else in the world"?-Anything you(who have never visited "everywhere else it the world")don't like? You clearly have not the faintest idea what you mean by " corruption" and you are about to demonstrate that by signally failing to set out what you-and only you, mean by corruption, which you cannot do because you have absolutely no ide what the word means.
Emily Maitlis for Governor General of the BBC to shake it all up. Also, She knows as much about politics, if not more than Conservative front runners in an integral way for a way forward in these troubled times.
Mostly the truth. Agree with a lot of stuff she said, but not the bit about Jeremy Corbyn. Blending him into the Russian background, like he was part of it, the clothes he was wearing (especially the hat), making the clothes darker, and choosing a picture of him with a serious look on his face. All little tricks to imply he's got some connection to Russia.
Remember when the Tories accused the BBC as *"lefties"* when they were scrutinised? Never heard that about the BBC for quite a few years. The stench of Tory bias is overwhelming. Well done, Enily, for calling this out.
It’s certainly become almost impossible to call the BBC “lefties” these days, what with the Director General being a former Tory councillor, yes he had worked for the BBC prior to being DG but as a marketing guy which says it all. At least the prior DG didn’t have such blatant links with the Tories, despite having typical Tory background- Oxbridge graduate in Politics, Philosophy and Economics. He at least worked his way up through the BBC from being a trainee rather than being effectively parachuted in to the top job.
@@arghjayem Don't forget the current BBC Chairman Richard Sharp: Rishi Sunak's boss when they were both at Goldman Sachs, advisor to London Mayor Boris Johnson, Tory Party donor and former director of the Centre for Policy Studies - a think tank founded by Margaret Thatcher with continued close links to the Tory Party.

well said Emily ,To put into context, The BBC is currently headed by a former Conservative councillor, regulated by a Conservative Peer, chaired by a Conservative Party donor, and whose CEO is the partner of the Conservative Director of Communications. Robbie Gibb was in charge of the BBC Political output during the time of Referendum and is well known as a hard Brexiteer. He is one of the people who was involved in the set up of GB News. The BBC goes well out of its way to avoid any mentions of Brexit as being a contributing factor to the issues we are experiencing.
And the Labour Party is led by a conservative Knight, and controlled by a cabal of conservative id-pol quislings. No hope of anything else on the horizon.
I wonder if that’s why they featured a single Brexit party MEP more than any other politician and never featured a single pro eu MEP of any party on Question time this century.

No. The failure of the Remain side to argue persuasively for why we should "Remain" led to Brexit. Whether that is because the arguments cannot be made or because the "Remainers" are idiots I will leave up to you to determine, but how many people have you convinced of anything by treating them with contempt, patronising them, and accusing them of bigotry? I'd wager none. Given how close the vote was, how could it not be right that the BBC give those from both sides equal prominence in the debate? It is catastrophic for the BBC and our democracy when they distort the public's perception of news and politics.

You are joking? Were you asleep through the entire 2015-2019 period? Maitlis lead the pack at the BBC in her willingness to propagandize for the government.

She espouses a time when the BBC was a beacon of truth before she sold her soul for a TV licence. We need honesty from the news like this ALL OF THE TIME.

I live in the Republic of Ireland, and I used to watch the main evening news on BBC 1, then BBC Northern Ireland, then on RTE (Ireland's public service broadcaster). I have found it increasingly difficult, since the current No 10 administration came to office, to watch the main BBC 1 news at all. It used to be rigorous, impartial, with an eye to global issues. Despite some excellent journalists still working for the BBC, the quality of news output has gone down the tubes. Thank you, Emily, for being so unapologetically a Journalist.

Congratulations to Emily for coming forward and finally telling the Public what we already knew, but Never had the Proof. This takes Courage. The Truth on any Public Issue should Never be hidden or hushed up by any Media. Let's Hope other Journalists follow the Truth from now on. Well Done Emily.
Excellent, Emily..... glad to see and hear you again. Totally stunned your audience. Your interview with the vile Windsor showed him up for what he is... a pervert! Good luck to you for the future, hope to hear from you again, soon.
Fantastic speech. I wish I'd been in the room. I'm impressed with the clarity of Emily Matliss's argument but appalled by the fact that this is where we our in this country. Trump can hijack America if enough Americans want him to, but how we in the UK have allowed this monstrous state of affairs to develop right in front of our eyes over the past seven years is beyond me. The Conservative Party now believe it and its MPs should be above the law and that, more than anything really concerns me. I'm tired of lickspittles who call themselves journalists who support this hijacking of the UK and disgusted by those that are doing it.
The juvenile inability to accept the results of a democratic vote has destroyed a lot of people’s credibility on referendums. Trump lost at the ballot box, lost his attempts to overturn the ballot box in the courts, and lost trying to overturn the ballot box in the legislature. Just like the Remain campaign!
@@aleph8888 How naive. Neither party, nor hardly any of the media represent the people. It is an effectively Orwellian system ruled by propagandising oligarchs and plutocrats with policies that are brutal and insane, and the whole world is starting to realise. But not you.

I don’t care if she was part of that corrupt system, she’s come out strongly and unequivocally in favour of justice, democracy, transparency and the common good. Bravo Emily Maitlis, let’s see if some of those currently employed at the BBC has the stones to do this too

Thank you Emily. Please do not tire of speaking the truth as you see it. What you see may or may not be perfect but it is your rigorous pursuit of truth that makes it something that should be heard.
But is there a solution ? (Apart from Emily and JOE) - I'm seeing this because the TH-cam Algorithm sees me as a 'Leftie' (I'm actually a Lim Dem... but I guess that's WAAAYYYY Left of the current Tory party) - so the people who need the wake up call might never see this.
I really hope people take on board what this brave woman is telling them, we are loosing so many of our freedoms and I worry for the next generations of this world.
She's really brave when she's already out the door to a better paid job... But quite happy to go along with it like everyone else there until that point..
We live in a country of sheep - the erosion of morality, standards, and truth in the government is on an inexorable march to the gutter, and will continue on that path unless the people begin to hold those in power to account……..personally I wouldn’t hold my breath.
My o my how Emily is missed from BBC screens a brilliant journalist, so articulate ,nobody escaped her quest for answers and her speech at the Festival puts today's world into sharp focus
How to talk nonsense about a failing of the BBCs supposed "impartialty". The BBC manufacturers consent for the government of the day, props up the Royal Family and once or twice a year issues am apology then continues to do the same thing. I don't trust the BBC
What obviously changed is that she is free to talk now about her ex employers, but obviously not free to talk about her current employers in 2019. Are you slightly stupid? Have you never had a job?
@@Upthetoffees60 Brave might be pushing it , but she is at least telling it how it is. I thought thats what people wanted from the likes of Trump, Farage and Johnson. The reality of course is you get anything but from popularists. Quite the opposite in fact.
I'd been a devoted Newsnight watcher since it first aired in 1981. Then a few years ago we entered the Emily Maitlis era. I stuck with it for a few years becoming more and more unhappy with the style & content. They seemed to be loosing their minds and transforming into activist campaigners instead of journalists. One day I just gave up and stopped watching Newsnight altogether. I haven't missed it.
Thank you Emily. “It’s not normal” - we need people in the public eye to keep saying it. Pathological, looks very much like the new normal currently. I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore
Can understand her frustration when she and the BBC worked so hard to convince the UK people to vote for Remain. Imagine the difficulty of that task with 'impartiality' restraints constantly getting in the way. How could the BBC be 'partial' when it was simply conveying the *fact* the BBC wanted the UK to stay in the EU?
you know she worked at the Spectator, dont you? She was a contributing editor there, until one of her BBC bosses decided she couldnt do it. Can you name a messy haired politician who also worked there? Hint, he is a tory.

Are you serious, she was one of the most biased people at the BBC.
Quite brilliant, sums up the current “state of affairs” perfectly 👍
What a brave and beaitiful human being amonst dark, dark times. Too good for the BBC.
That's why she left there. And a good thing too. We need more like her.👏👏
How long did she work for the BBC ? Only when she left did she speak out, hardly brave at all.
What a great way of raising your personal profile and increasing earning potential.

Thank you, Emily Maitlis for refusing to be put in a box.
You have said what most of us had already known.
To have it confirmed by a professional journalist who isn't afraid to say what is true has been a long time coming. Great speech. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Political Joe, thanks for an excellent podcast.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You are joking? Were you asleep through the entire 2015-2019 period? Maitlis lead the pack at the BBC in her willingness to propagandize for the government. If she had any of the journalistic integrity she's clearly desperate to cultivate she would've resigned the minute she was told to present an item about the leader of the opposition against a backdrop of him in front of the kremlin dressed in a ushanka.
@@leegregory756
So, I guess it must be the same with Andrew Marr why they are only saying something after leaving the BBC.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In a box! She was meant to be neutral you fool!
@@tomjones8715
They were all supposed to be neutral. But when you have a former conservative councillor, regulated by a conservative peer, chaired by a conservative party donor, and whose CEO is the partner of the conservative Director of Communications.
Robbie Gibbs is well known as a hard Brexiteer. He is one of the people who were involved in the set-up of GB News.
There's a slim chance of them not being neutral.
Brilliant!…legs hope the whole nation gets to see this!!
@@MrTrapside freudian slap?
@@sprobablycancr4457 God he'd have to be a masochist.
No mention of all the lies about Corbyn
The problem with that is that there was a tiny grain of truth to them and both the Tories and some of the labour party used that against the party. Some in labour wanted to lose and people could see it.
Saying this gives me no pleasure, many on the Corbyn side of the party, and I include myself among his supporters, are continuing the circular firing squad.
Well she is Jewish…
Funny how so many 'journalist/opionators' are disgusted SO LATE in the game but ACTIVE in their abuses at the critical time,.. I haven't watched the BBC in over 4 years and Maitliss is a major part of thr 'WHY'.
Utterly brilliant!Humanity should be thankful for journalists like Emily Maitlis who is speaking truth to power.She is truly a decent human being.
You make her sound like Joan of Arc.
Where was her support for Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange?
“Impartiality” is just turning a blind eye to corruption.

Easy enough for you?
As I dont see how she is a sycophant as she isnt gaining anything from this, other than a little bit of respect for at least saying it.
She espouses a time when the BBC was a beacon of truth before she sold her soul for a TV licence. We need honesty from the news like this ALL OF THE TIME.
I think you got as honest as she could be, under the constraints that govern most of our providers of news, like America, although they have an even worse corrupt media!
Emily is a guiding light in what should be the norm in any job, to do the best you can and deliver the best with the rules provided.
Corruption is at its worse level when we see what can get by as acceptable, it’s a Canute world with no whistle blowers! DG
@@f1remandg totally agree. As a society we have become blasé to the realities of our modern world. Its not a good place.
Great speech.. but she was part of this for years.. it's too late now the damage has been done
Better late than never
Never thought I’d hear this kind of speech from a bbc journalist. Thank you Ms Maitlis.
These are dangerous times we are living in, and history will be the judge of how close we came to avoiding a Societal catastrophe or whether we succumbed.

Very well articulated 💯 needed to be said well done that lady cheers 👍
I live in the Republic of Ireland, and I used to watch the main evening news on BBC 1, then BBC Northern Ireland, then on RTE (Ireland's public service broadcaster). I have found it increasingly difficult, since the current No 10 administration came to office, to watch the main BBC 1 news at all. It used to be rigorous, impartial, with an eye to global issues. Despite some excellent journalists still working for the BBC, the quality of news output has gone down the tubes.
Thank you, Emily, for being so unapologetically a Journalist.
Well said Emily;-) enough is enough
I can't thank Emily Maitlis enough. Proper journalism. What a relief.

Congratulations to Emily for coming forward and finally telling the Public what we already knew, but Never had the Proof.
This takes Courage.
The Truth on any Public Issue should Never be hidden or hushed up by any Media.
Let's Hope other Journalists follow the Truth from now on.
Well Done Emily.
I really admire your optimism.
Excellent, Emily..... glad to see and hear you again. Totally stunned your audience. Your interview with the vile Windsor showed him up for what he is... a pervert! Good luck to you for the future, hope to hear from you again, soon.
Fantastic speech. I wish I'd been in the room. I'm impressed with the clarity of Emily Matliss's argument but appalled by the fact that this is where we our in this country. Trump can hijack America if enough Americans want him to, but how we in the UK have allowed this monstrous state of affairs to develop right in front of our eyes over the past seven years is beyond me. The Conservative Party now believe it and its MPs should be above the law and that, more than anything really concerns me. I'm tired of lickspittles who call themselves journalists who support this hijacking of the UK and disgusted by those that are doing it.
Tony Blair = lying mass murdering war criminal. Trump opposed those wars and tried to end them. So what mental planet do you exist on?
The juvenile inability to accept the results of a democratic vote has destroyed a lot of people’s credibility on referendums. Trump lost at the ballot box, lost his attempts to overturn the ballot box in the courts, and lost trying to overturn the ballot box in the legislature. Just like the Remain campaign!
😂
@@aleph8888 How naive. Neither party, nor hardly any of the media represent the people. It is an effectively Orwellian system ruled by propagandising oligarchs and plutocrats with policies that are brutal and insane, and the whole world is starting to realise. But not you.
The current Director General made a £600k donation to the Tories before he was appointed. There is no real oversight any more.
The BBC News always refers to Russian TV News as "Russia's State Broadcaster" ....... without any hint of irony whatsoever.
There is a bit of a difference though.

Absolutely brilliant share it People!!!!!!
I don’t care if she was part of that corrupt system, she’s come out strongly and unequivocally in favour of justice, democracy, transparency and the common good. Bravo Emily Maitlis, let’s see if some of those currently employed at the BBC has the stones to do this too
You don't care she was part of it? That is exactly why you are not trustworthy, in any function, in any job. Hope you haven't got a partner.
Don't hold your breath 😴
she's only doing this now because she's been offered a better paying job elsewhere. you fool, everyone in that audience has been happily going along with this for years and will continue to do so... unless they can use it for their own personal gain.....

@@Paul_C Don't be so shallow. People have to evolve, we don't just sit in aspect and hold the same views all of our life. How Ridiculous would that be.
Thank you Emily. Please do not tire of speaking the truth as you see it. What you see may or may not be perfect but it is your rigorous pursuit of truth that makes it something that should be heard.
Love this. Finally. We are being heard.
What a hypocrite 🙄
But is there a solution ? (Apart from Emily and JOE) - I'm seeing this because the TH-cam Algorithm sees me as a 'Leftie' (I'm actually a Lim Dem... but I guess that's WAAAYYYY Left of the current Tory party) - so the people who need the wake up call might never see this.
Thank you Emily for singing the national song louder for All. 👋👋👋👋👋🙏
And they still want us to pay the TV licence. Fuck thatt 🤣
People think journalism requires neutrality, but what it really requires is objectivity.
Precisely.

She’s a hack and the BBC have done enough damage themselves. What’s brave is speaking truth to the BBC while they try and ruin your reputation…

I don’t use the BBC as a news source anymore
My o my how Emily is missed from BBC screens a brilliant journalist, so articulate ,nobody escaped her quest for answers and her speech at the Festival puts today's world into sharp focus
she is mossad
Thank you Emily for your courage and saying what needs to be said.
How to talk nonsense about a failing of the BBCs supposed "impartialty". The BBC manufacturers consent for the government of the day, props up the Royal Family and once or twice a year issues am apology then continues to do the same thing. I don't trust the BBC
Nonsense Jason??? She has just gone out on a limb to publicly denounce what you affirm. She should be applauded.
"Emily Maitlis: ‘People see conspiracy at the BBC when it’s just a confluence of cock-ups’" this quote in 2019. How times change...
What obviously changed is that she is free to talk now about her ex employers, but obviously not free to talk about her current employers in 2019. Are you slightly stupid? Have you never had a job?
She was part of the problem, now she’s brave… my arse.
@@Upthetoffees60 Brave might be pushing it , but she is at least telling it how it is. I thought thats what people wanted from the likes of Trump, Farage and Johnson.
The reality of course is you get anything but from popularists. Quite the opposite in fact.
@@Upthetoffees60 better late than never
She has been very complicit in this bias for years. To a ridiculous degree. I wonder what stopped this being her modus operandi?
Describing her own '15 year' career with the BBC, and only now stating what was obvious to many of us all along.
Excellent speech
I'm glad she made this speech. Why no apology for being a massive part of the problem for money for such a long time though.
Meaningless then isn't it
I'd been a devoted Newsnight watcher since it first aired in 1981. Then a few years ago we entered the Emily Maitlis era. I stuck with it for a few years becoming more and more unhappy with the style & content. They seemed to be loosing their minds and transforming into activist campaigners instead of journalists. One day I just gave up and stopped watching Newsnight altogether. I haven't missed it.
Emily has been part of the problem. What she has said is admirable but she’s got to admit that she has joined in with the bias herself
correct
Yes - she was part of the bias because she's the presenter of the scripts, not the editor!
Didn't she do that? It's pretty clear to me she did.
It's worrying that this kind of truth starts to sound dangerous when spoken
So, you think the failed ideology of socialism is better ?
Thank you Emily. “It’s not normal” - we need people in the public eye to keep saying it. Pathological, looks very much like the new normal currently. I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore
What an excellent speech.
Can understand her frustration when she and the BBC worked so hard to convince the UK people to vote for Remain. Imagine the difficulty of that task with 'impartiality' restraints constantly getting in the way. How could the BBC be 'partial' when it was simply conveying the *fact* the BBC wanted the UK to stay in the EU?
Brilliant and important speech. Thank you!
Superb.
How utterly refreshing to hear a well respected journalist, tell it exactly as it is. Heartening.
you know she worked at the Spectator, dont you?
She was a contributing editor there, until one of her BBC bosses decided she couldnt do it.
Can you name a messy haired politician who also worked there?
Hint, he is a tory.
