GB News attracted zero viewers during some of its broadcasts this week, according to official television audience figures produced by rating agency Barb, after a viewer boycott prompted by one of its presenters taking the knee in solidarity with the England football team.
The channel has now said the decision of Guto Harri to make the on-air gesture on Tuesday in solidarity against the racist abuse suffered by English players was “an unacceptable breach of our standards”.
A GB News spokesperson declined to say whether Harri, a former spokesperson for Boris Johnson, was still with the channel.
There is so much to ponder in this story. The channel billed itself as anti cancel culture but that only seems mean giving racists a voice. the presenter in question has been taken off the air so as not to offend its snowflake readers.
Despite being a right wing twat Andrew Neil has claims to be a legitimate broadcaster . He is the one who nuked Ben Shapiro by asking him questions about his book. It is sad to see him pandering to the modern equivalent of Mosleys blackshirts.
But now the UK has its own Fox news and our public discourse will follow yours down the toilet. Our racists now have their own safe space. For shame.
