Belfield has been labelled the Harold Shipman of trolling
Alex Belfield, the Nottingham stalker whose controversial YouTube channel propagated racism, misogyny and bullying, is a man who seems to have an almighty grudge against the BBC. With recent controversies ranging from Jimmy Savile to Martin Bashir's Princess Diana interview, criticism of Britain's public broadcaster is certainly not contained to the fringes of society.
Instead, his YouTube videos evolved from pantomime and theatre reviews into his "truth-telling" monologues on everything from politics to "cancel culture". But it was when discussing his former employer that Belfield often became the most animated. This riff is perhaps best expressed in a video from March 22 this year, where Belfield discusses raids on his home by the police as part of investigations into his behaviour. In the video, Belfield says: "When you tell the truth, and you're a whistle-blower like I, the bomb squad end up coming round, represented by the evil BBC."
In terms of rattling the BBC's cage, Belfield's videos don't carry the same gravitas as Emily Maitlis' recent lecture in which she claimed that the corporation's board contained an agent of the Tory Party. Ironically, Belfield's videos at many stages don't even match the amount of criticism that the BBC makes of itself.
