Through the cover of the video, the instances of binary opposition were evident as the BBC deliberately put the two distinct characters, resulting in wider media coverage. It was used in the clip because of their completely distinct ideas that created tension, so it permitted far more individuals to watch the clip than normal as they used the media technique-binary resistance.  The dominant ideology in this clip was the ongoing arguments about the economic crash that took over the UK.
