Ideology and Binary opposition

1) Binary opposition is often used to create conflict and war in media. In this clip, we see Nigel Farage claiming and clarifying his points on the anti-immigration and how this immigration is the reason for the problems faced in the UK with the public services being damaged such as the NHS. Essentially, he is trying to proclaim that the immigration is the reason for NHS to sink. However, we see Russell Brand who is in complete opposite side to Nigel Farage and has different views and points. He doesn't see the immigration as a problem to the UK and to the UK's social services. Also, he wants the wealthy people to distribute to the helping of disabled people and etc.

There are two different ideologies being displayed in this clip as we see two politicians with two contrasting views and points which set an ideology to the consumers. Firstly, with Nigel Farage, we see him and know him to be against the immigration and how they ruin the UK's public services such as the NHS. Also, with the wealthy people, he thinks that they shouldn't be allowed to pay a huge amount of tax and he thinks that they should pay less as he thinks that they should celebrate and enjoy their wealthiness. I think with Nigel Farage's views, the ideology set to the consumers would be that the immigrants are bad and damage the UK with their public services. However, with Russell Brand, he is known to not be against immigration but supports social equality within every people and they must be treated the same. Also, he thinks that the rich should be distributing money to the poor and in need community as they have a huge amount of money and they shouldn't be allowed to keep a lot. Also, this is about the freedom of the people that suffer and haven't got a high paying job. The ideology here is that the immigrants aren't bad and aren't the problems to the UK but the rich must contribute more to the donations and helping.
