What examples of binary opposition can you suggest from watching this clip?
The BBC used binary opposition to get people talking about the controversy with the clashes in ideology of Russell Brand and Nigel Farage. Binary opposition is enforced due to the clash in ideology Russell brand who values the distribution of wealth and follows statistical views on immigration whereas Farage believes immigration is the problem to all matters. Due to this debate, another binary opposition is displayed, goodness and evil. Nigel Farage is seen to be the evil one as he is being hard headed and not taking into consideration the good immigrants serve the country. However, Russel Brown is seen as the one with goodness as he is looking at immigrants as a whole and is picking up the benefits of their presence.
What ideologies are on display in this clip?
The main ideology of immigrants is alternative because Russel Brand had picked out advantages and positive things about immigrants rather than discussing the real problem in our society today. Usually, when the word immigrant is heard automatically people associate it with unpleasant things so as Russel Brown is talking good goes against that belief and suggests that immigrants instead help the British Society.
