Summary
LIZ KERSHAW UNFILTERED: BBC, Savile, Small Boats & Ann Widdecombe #JonGaunt #LizKershaw #BBC #JimmySavile #AnnWiddecombe #Immigration #SmallBoats #FreeSpeech BBC broadcasting legend Liz Kershaw joins Jon Gaunt for one of the most candid interviews you'll see this year. Nothing is off limits. We discuss the shocking murder of Ann Widdecombe and what it says about modern Britain, the toxic state of our politics, and where the country goes from here. Liz also reveals what it was really like working at the BBC during the Jimmy Savile years—and explains why she refused to broadcast a tribute to Savile on the day he died, despite being asked to do so by BBC Bosses. It's a remarkable insight into one of the darkest chapters in broadcasting history. The conversation then turns to the small boats crisis. Living on the south coast, Liz has seen illegal migrants arriving on the beaches. She shares what she has witnessed first-hand, and we debate what Britain should do to regain control of its borders while remaining a fair and compassionate country. Along the way we tackle the BBC, free speech, modern politics, media bias, immigration, cancel culture and whether Britain is losing confidence in itself. Whether you agree with us or not, this is the sort of honest, respectful conversation that's becoming all too rare. What do you think? Should Britain radically change its immigration policy? Did the BBC fail over Jimmy Savile? Has political debate become too toxic? And where does Britain go from here? Join in with your comments. I read them all. 👍 Please LIKE the video if you enjoyed it. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE to Jon Gaunt TV for more fearless interviews and live debates. 📢 Share this interview with friends and family. #LizKershaw #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #BBC #JimmySavile #AnnWiddecombe #Immigra…
