  • 1 Archived BBC Public Responses to Complaints
    Archived BBC public responses to complaints 2019 This Week, BBC One, 10 January 2019 Summary of complaint We received complaints from people who felt Owen Jones was treated in a disrespectful manner while appearing as a guest on the programme. Our response Following the verbal abuse which he and others had sustained from protesters outside Parliament, Owen Jones, journalist, left wing commentator and activist, used his “Take of the Week” section to give his personal take on the current state of political discourse, the rise of the far right and, as he deemed, the reasons for this. This is a prominent section of the programme in which the author gives their views unchallenged. During his video and the studio discussion which followed, Mr Jones made allegations about the Conservative Party and right wing media which some would consider contentious. As our audience would expect, Andrew scrutinised what Mr Jones said. Michael Portillo, who disagreed with Mr Jones, also gave his opinion. Mr Jones was given ample time to express his views and respond to points made to him. When Mr Jones made allegations about The Spectator magazine and Andrew’s role with the publication. Andrew legitimately pointed out that this was nothing to do with the BBC and it wasn’t right for Mr Jones to use the programme to make personal accusations against him. Today, BBC Radio 4, 26 January 2019 Summary of complaint We received a range of complaints following the interview of Helen McEntee. Some listeners felt the tone and content were not appropriate, suggesting a personal bias from the interviewer.

  • Leave Means Leave’ Movement
    REVISITING POPULISM IN THE UK: THE ‘LEAVE MEANS LEAVE’ MOVEMENT By Medini Dinesh Hegde Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MA International Relations Supervisor: Professor Thomas Fetzer Word Count: 16,110 CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 30-05-2019 Abstract This paper looks into the different subtypes of populism with a focus on the case study of the ‘Leave Means Leave’ movement in the UK. Populism has been on the rise in recent decades and since it is often treated as a thin centred ideology, there is a lot of literature on the different types of populism, each claiming to understand the political phenomenon better than the other. This paper takes explains broad categories of populism – ideology, discourse and political strategy, however, uses a combination of ideology and political strategy to explain ‘how’ the people as conceived by the populist actors have been mobilised against the elite in the UK. ‘Leave Means Leave’ is lobby group that claims to voice the will of the people towards a clean Brexit. They have used unconventional lobbying techniques in order to gain the attention of the elite. However, this voice has been unheard by the establishment and the objectives of the lobby group have been unfulfilled. Thus, this brings an important facet to the fore, that are the populist leaders of the ‘Leave Means Leave’ movement really interested in the delivering to the people their will, or do they mobilise the people only towards their own political gains. This paper explores how the lack of ideology has been replaced effectively by rhetoric towards mobilising people by the populist leaders of the ‘Leave Means Leave’ movement.
