Like you say, It’s all coordinated. Looking through the front pages of the right wing rags, the Okenshatts, and all the usual suspects have piled on in their columns with the same line.

Got to protect their own and distract any negative press away from their paymasters, especially when they are currently trying to buy two of the leading RW rags in the Telegraph and the Spectator, to add to their portfolio of GB News and Unherd.

I think it's their final play. Their targeting of trans, disabled, single parents, the sick, doctors, nurses, refugees and tofu has mostly failed so now all they have left is Islamic terrorism on the back of the Gaza catastrophe.

Their final solution?

Throughout the ages…the Roman political class weren’t adverse to using ‘The Mob’
But sometimes it got out of control.

I mean, you’re right and my views are clearly from the left of centre. But you do need people with other views and I respect that, however these total nut jobs shouldn’t be getting access to media.

There is a difference between alternative views and inciting hate, especially when there's been an increase in Islamophobic incidents between 7 October and 7 February, with 2,010 incidents recorded, compared to 600 for the same period the previous year.

Absolutely my point, I’ve friends with different views to mine and we discuss, take the Mick out of each other and generally agree to disagree. However when you get to these nutters it’s a different issue altogether but large sections of the media think they’re being ‘fair’ giving them a voice. They’re not they’re helping promote extremism .
 
The end of this man's political career can't come soon enough but one thing puzzles me; if he was responding to an article written by Suella Braverman in which she said “the Islamists, the extremists and the anti-Semites are in charge” why are they not going after her too? She was referring to the whole country, not just London.

Whilst his motives are all too obvious he has been quite clever about how far he has gone. Never straying into anything that isn't protected in our right to free speach.

This alone suggests that they are not Anderson words but those of party hq.

OFCOM own rules article 5

Meaning of "due impartiality"​

“Due” is an important qualification to the concept of impartiality. Impartiality itself means not favouring one side over another. “Due” means adequate or appropriate to the subject and nature of the programme. So “due impartiality” does not mean an equal division of time has to be given to every view, or that every argument and every facet of every argument has to be represented. The approach to due impartiality may vary according to the nature of the subject, the type of programme and channel, the likely expectation of the audience as to content, and the extent to which the content and approach is signalled to the audience. Context, as defined in Section two: Harm and offence of the Code, is important.

Due impartiality and due accuracy in news​

5.1: News, in whatever form, must be reported with due accuracy and presented with due impartiality.

5.2: Significant mistakes in news should normally be acknowledged and corrected on air quickly (or, in the case of BBC ODPS, corrected quickly). Corrections should be appropriately scheduled (or, in the case of BBC ODPS, appropriately signaled to viewers).

5.3: No politician may be used as a newsreader, interviewer or reporter in any news programmes unless, exceptionally, it is editorially justified. In that case, the political allegiance of that person must be made clear to the audience.

I haven't seen a clip but I'm going to take a guess that he wasn't presenting "news"

Regarding due impartiality I would think, considering who the chanel is aimed at, that most people watching had "the likely expectation .... as to content,"
 
I see these tories breaking down into their fascism sub-sets.

The Ideological Fascist:
Braverman, Badenoch. These people actually hate people who differ from then in any in any material, cultural or political way. They form the policies that institute the fascist state.

The Corporate Fascist:
Reece-Mogg. They don't hate people per se but they hate that they can't fully exploit them for profit so want them stripped of any rights that prevent that. He will willingly support the ideologues in order to exploit the free labour that they will make available. A throwback to the 19030's German bankers and industrialists.

The Functional Fascist:
Jenrick. Organises the bureaucracy and resources required (Eichmann, Heydrich).

The Operational Fascist:
Anderson, Gullis. Have no principles and shift with the wind so long as they benefit. They run the camps and secret police.

As Kurt Vonnegut once said (I paraphrase): Ronald Reagan would have been an SS guard if he had been born in a different country.


I can't categorise Truss other than mentally ill.
 
I am not sure gb news is much to worry about. Their viewing figures have been dwindling and it's losing money hands over first.


Some of gb news shows don't get 50k viewers. There are YouTube channels for niche subjects that attract more views.
