Ideology



What examples of binary opposition can you suggest from watching this clip? 

There are many different binary oppositions that are shown in this clip namely:

  •  Rich and poor 
  • Immigrants and British 
  • Powerful and weak 
The rich and poor binary opposition is seen through Russell Brand saying how there is a massive social economic divide because the people in power and authority aren't distributing money to people fairly and correctly. From what Nigel Farage is saying, he believes that immigrants are the cause of the economic decline and so a binary opposition is created between immigrants and British. 


What ideologies are on display in this clip?

Ideologies displayed in this clip is that money isn't distributed fairly to the people that are in need of the money. Russell Brand believes that the rich are corrupt and are untrustworthy. Another ideology that is displayed is anti-immigration. Nigel Farage believes that immigrants are the reason why Britain is suffering financially.
