Stunning Ken Loach interview eviscerates the BBC and its bias.
Film Director Ken Loach has just bodied the BBC’s shameless Sarah Montague on Radio 4’s World At One.
Right, so the BBC is an entity I’ve often covered for it’s shortcomings, but seldom do we see someone hold the BBC to account for such things mid interview, yet that is exactly what happened when in typical BBC interview style, they went for a gotcha on film director Ken Loach and in what is frankly a stunning interview, Loach completely eviscerated them over it and actually they asked for it, and this really does matter because so often we’ve seen an interview begin in a certain way on a certain subject, yet then the interviewer will seek to talk about something else and well, they came deservedly unstuck.
Right, so Ken Loach film director, lovely chap, anyone that thinks otherwise hasn’t watched any of his films or got the message behind them, few in his industry devote their careers to highlighting the blight on society that successive governments bring and that is what has made him a target for dismissive media outlets, those with an axe to grind, those threatened by the truth, but the BBC always has and continues to enjoy an absurd level of trust that it really doesn’t deserve and although that trust has certainly been eroded in recent years, it’s still trusted far beyond other purported mainstream news outlets though it really doesn’t deserve to be and nothing quite exposed that like Loach’s recent interview on the World At One program on Radio 4 with Sarah Montague. The interview was supposed to be about Loach’s new film, The Old Oak, set in a pub in a County Durham former mining town, the last remaining public meeting place whilst dealing with the subject of immigration as Syrian refugees settle in the area. It’s a pertinent topic right now, especially where refugees are so demonised right now and Loach’s films are as educational as they are supportive of those who are put down upon and attacked in the media, he sets a counter narrative combined with brilliant storytelling that hits home hard and I challenge anyone to watch one of his films and it not elicit some kind of emotional response. The thing is, this was a BBC interview though, so the topic of his film wasn’t what was really on their minds. The BBC always like a gotcha and it wasn’t long, about 5 minutes before the subject of Keir Starmer and Labour came up, with Sarah Montague putting it to Loach that: ‘You are very dismissive of Keir Starmer, but I wonder if part of that stems from the fact that, as you said in your words, you were kicked out of the party?’ Loach has no problem discussing such things as a rule and even though it wasn’t why he was on the program he responded in his typically honest matter of fact manner on Starmer and Labour by saying of his expulsion: ‘It was like ending an abusive relationship.
