GB News has managed to alienate its core audience of nutjobs by breaching its bullshit broadcasting standards. Here’s the full list of behaviour that goes against the channel’s code of conduct.

Admitting slavery was wrong

Viewers boycotted GB News after one of its presenters took the knee in solidarity with the England football team, and rightly so. There’s no room for gestures of solidarity on a channel that’s doing its damndest to stir up a culture war. If you want to see that sort of lefty claptrap switch over to Channel 4 while it still exists.

Using well-designed graphics
If a polished graphic that didn’t try to look like the Union Jack crept onto the screen for a split second, then gammons would be forced to wash their eyes with soapy water. The GB News style guide clearly states that everything should have the simmering jingoistic malevolence of a WI bake sale.

Throwing over to a link seamlessly
Slick professionalism is an absolute no-no. Minutes of dead air while news readers awkwardly try to fill the time let viewers know they’re watching the real news, not lies pedalled by the ‘lamestream’ media. A smooth transition to a reporter in the field is why Andrew Neil took time off.

Reporting with impartiality
Despite being owned by a company called All Perspectives Ltd, GB News has a very narrow scope when it comes to reporting. Basically, any opinion further right of Richard Littlejohn is allowed generous airtime, and anyone who’s never said ‘it’s ‘elf ‘n’ safety gone mad’ is permanently barred from entering the studio.

Going a day without sneering ‘woke’
If a whole day goes by without Simon McCoy or Alastair Stewart sneering the ''woke'' word then the GB News message board gets flooded with furious phone calls from outraged oddballs. This misguided hatred is what they pay their licence fee for, after all.

One of its extremely rare audience members claimed a few days ago "it isn't even right-wing." Seriously, that is what he typed.

Today the same audience member, one of only 17 people who watch it and rarer than hen's teeth, stated extremely seriously and not even tongue in cheek lol, that GB News really does have a segment called "woke watch". Trash TV at its very worst, even Nigel Farage would not stoop to those levels.

Makes me ashamed to share a country with these people.

No wonder Andrew Neil cleared off.
Seemed a good idea at the time, more to.It though than reading an auto_cue

Always makes me sad when people talk about the slave trade historically in the USA.

In the 300+ years from 1522 until 1866 some 12 million people were transported from Africa on slave ships.
The largest proportion actually going to Brazil, approximately 5.6 million.

Yet the number of slaves, in 2016, approximately 40 million according to the Global Slavery Index.
As of today in 2021, I can only imagine it is much higher.
