We’re here at the beautiful St Ethelburgas for the very first ‘Values in the Media’ conference, where we’re discussing what the UK media can do to take responsibility for its influence on UK values #VIM24

It’s been a mad mad day. exhausted and busy, I was regretting agreeing (many many months ago) to speaking at @commoncause.bsky.social’s Values in Media event. But just minutes into @elsieroderiques.bsky.social’s welcome and I already feel good to be here to share and learn from others.

14. I would love to see the BBC commission a series of debates about capitalism, which seek to define it, explain it and contest it. But I believe it is now institutionally incapable of such a thing. If any BBC editors are reading this, please prove me wrong.

12. What the far right offers is simple but wrong explanations of issues that almost no one is explaining properly: it’s the fault of immigrants / Muslims / Jews / Black people / women / trans people. If there are no competing explanations that make sense, the door is wide open.

11. Because this is common to almost all media, people hear no effective explanations of the traps in which they find themselves, or the perennial social dysfunction that resists changes in government. This makes them highly susceptible to the siren voices of the far right.

9. BBC news and current affairs expend great effort on what they call “analysis”. But the analysis never digs below a certain level. In fact, you could expand the initial question: when did you last hear a critique of power structures on the BBC?

8. There’s a famous saying, attributed to about 20 different people: “It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.” Of course it is, if you haven’t defined capitalism. If we haven’t decided what it is, how can we imagine what its end would look like?

6. How do capitalism’s defenders define it? Most of them don’t. In fact, one of the most extraordinary aspects of the very rare and feeble excuses for “debates” about capitalism, is that, in most cases, neither pro- nor anti-capitalists seek to define it.

4. Capitalism is a specific and particular economic system, which can be dated to around 1450. It is far from the only means by which commerce can proceed. In fact, it’s among the worst of all possible models.

3. I suspect that if you asked BBC journalists to define capitalism, most would mumble something along the lines of “buying and selling things”. This is how people often understand it. But that’s not capitalism, that’s commerce, which has been happening for thousands of years.

2. This is the system that dominates every aspect of our lives. Yet it seems to be off-limits at the BBC, and almost all other media. It is seldom mentioned, never investigated, never criticised and never even properly explained. The same goes for our dominant ideology: neoliberalism.
