The BBC is part of the problem. For example, Nigel Farage is very much their own Frankenstein's monster, because they promoted him heavily long before GB News and AI fake videos. One of its flagship political programmes, QuestionTime had him on a disproportionate amount of the time, to the extent that he almost felt like an industry plant. (To be fair, Farage makes better telly than most of dull workaday politicians, but he still wasn't getting support until the BBC bigged him up.). They even had him on a Scottish independence special back when he had no elected representatives in Scotland. Farage, Brexit, UKIP and Reform are all seeds that the BBC planted fifteen years ago. As for UK decline, I am afraid that it very much is visible in the 2020s. There was no real debt protection during the lockdown as there should have been (to prevent people's homes and businesses being seized due to non-payment), and the price of everything is sky high. This is attributed to Brexit, but I suspect that is part of the issue. As for migration, it definitely is much higher than it was twenty years ago, and there are elements which are playing both ends of that debate like the BBC itself.
