Description

In this hard-hitting episode of The Ian Collins Show on Talk, Ian takes on two defining stories shaking Britain: the BBC’s internal collapse after Tim Davie’s shock resignation, and the migration mess that sees asylum seekers offered £100 a week to leave taxpayer-funded hotels.


Veteran broadcaster David Elstein, with over fifty years inside television — from the BBC to Channel 5 — joins Ian to expose the deep ideological fractures tearing through the BBC. Then Sonia Sodha, columnist and commentator, unpacks how the Corporation became “captured by minority gender ideology,” and what that says about modern media culture.


Between callers, Ian explores the asylum incentive scandal with Robert Bates from the Centre for Migration Control, asking whether paying migrants to leave is policy failure or pragmatic politics.


From BBC bias and newsroom infighting to Britain’s border breakdown, this episode pulls no punches on the state of the nation’s institutions — and the cost to the British taxpayer.
