UK an outlier for allowing politicians to present TV shows
Week after week, Nigel Farage is allowed to host his show on GB News. Even though Ofcom rules say broadcasters cannot use politicians as newsreaders, interviewers or reporters in any news programmes. Ask Ofcom to investigate ⬇️
njs1.bsky.social5I don't know whose worse - Ofcom. Nandy or Burnham (Starmer). It is staggering and beggars belief that they allow such blatant biased hard right propaganda on TV. It might well result in their downfall and they only have themselves to blame. Criminal negligence by Labour.
Bilodea5Not sure I see why Russia Today was banned for spreading pro-kremlin propaganda and misinformation but GB News is allowed to do the same without any consequences.
Neil3OFCOM - weak as piss.
Farage will pay your medical bills. 😥😢3That fucking organisation OFCOM. fuckem
Laurie Merrifield1Yes, but he’s Nigel Farage. BBC’s Chris Mason says so.
Rob Judge1It’s been said GBNews is an entertainment channel & not news - as if there’s a difference. If this is the legal dispute then surely GBNews is to be done under “trades descriptions”?! When will there be action?
UK ‘an outlier in Europe’ for letting Farage and other politicians present TV shows. GB News, owned by hedge fund manager, is the propaganda arm of Reform/Farage. Politicians must be scrutinized, and not allowed to present news or current affairs programmes.
Chris Smith26We don't even allow political advertising on radio or TV in the UK, but we allow whole TV stations to broadcast propaganda non stop. This is clearly absurd.
Ande Case 🎬🇪🇺#BLM 💚11And limited companies should not be allowed to grift as a political party…
plasticscouser.bsky.social10OFCOM are a waste of space, they should act, but they won’t
Juditty9Why doesn’t the govt take action? It’s so obvious this very bad for our democracy.
Tim Lowe6Reform is a foreign funded influence operation. #Consequences ?
OCB16405If I were still in the UK I’d start a parliamentary petition to force a debate on GB News being illegal party propaganda. It takes 100k signatures. @premnsikka.bsky.social - there’s probably 100k anti-Reform folk just on BSky!
Juditty9I’d love to see a journalist or anyone challenge Burnham on why he’s not stopping this.
Kevin 🏴🇪🇺💚 #VoteGreen5@ofcom.bsky.social ARE YOU LISTENING????!!!! (I very much doubt it).
Malcolm LibDem🔶🏴🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦4Would you let this man speak in your living room? I don't!
Angri Bundel3If rejoining the EU means GB News has to be shut down, it’s worth doing for that alone.
Rubbish Nothing to do with the establishment. It is because of racism, misogyny, Russian apologism, admiration of Trump and lack of any morality Oh and being a complete twat www.heraldscotland.com/news/nationa...
Marchie1Always the victim card. He is not responsible for anything, is he? Just the world out to get him; mind you, hopefully the whole "establishment" shtick is wearing so thin that even the bozos supporting him might begin to see through it.
Pratab Ali1All together now "Frogface you Coutts banking w4nker, you are the establishment"
Andy Birss1Crooks and racists complain about being called crooks and racists.
Old Hobbit🐸1So David Lammy should "go home"? To Tottenham? 🤔
Meanwhile, the BBC's Political Editor is once more doing the TV and radio rounds providing his standard Farage apologism.
Phil Lowthian5The BBC Political editor has spent the last 2 weeks trying to manufacture a gotcha on Andy Burnham’s relationship with MCFC and Abu Dhabi.
Gildy Stern 🇺🇦2Poor Nigel, he's desperately unlucky that very occasionally one or two of his followers divert slightly from the Christian doctrine that they all closely follow. Most of them spend all week in Church praying, you never see that on the telly do you?
Nigel Farage has suggested an undercover investigation which filmed Reform UK members using racist language was carried out “because the establishment frankly want us out of the picture”
Aphex Gwyn3Privately educated multi-millionaire who's been working in politics for 30 years says what...?
neil02.bsky.social3So totally ignored the racist comments..... And by the way Farage is a member of the East India club. Women aren't allowed in, isnt that the most establishment thing you have herd of .....
