Highlights: A government minister defending the French colonial occupation of Niger with literally 0 push back from the interviewer, someone describing putting those "smoking kills" labels on cigarettes as "excessive government overreach" and "coercive emotional bullying", a transphobic comedy about a literal wolf in sheep's clothing coming out to his parents and wanting to transition to a sheep (whoever wrote that needs an NHS provided trepanning via a gun stfu-terf), "nobody wants to work anymore" shit, more TERF shit, and the one good thing of at one point hearing some conservative MP get practically ripped to shreds by the interviewer when he got asked why the economy was doing so shit

      Eh, the BBC was never good, admittedly. But It wasn't until recent decades that BBC staff actually were explicitly instructed by the government to not just provide a platform for shitty reactionaries, but actively spout right-wing garbage and perform actual corporate shilling.
