Rubbish Moray it’s not a terrorist organisation,I despise the Sun and much of Murdochs organisation but that doesn’t mean it should be binned,very short road to dictatorship benign or otherwise. The Scottish parliament and Welsh assembly are an excuse for anything resembling governance as they childishly oppose Westminster on the grounds of a policy whatever it does we must do differently whether that is good for the people they represent is irrelevant.

The UK has a long history of " Freedom of the Press " we are free to watch and or buy whatever Newspapers we like as individuals, banning any News outlet you may not like or agree with is a very slippery slope downwards to Censorship and state control

You don't have to watch it . Surely having a choice of news /current affairs is better than being force fed on state TV which itself has been called out for bias .

Like others have said, it isn't compulsory that you watch it, it is rather simple you turn it off. I rarely watch any TV or the we must infest the internet with the same old garbage.

Not sure why we need petitions to shut down sections of the media we disagree with - if you disagree with their output then don't watch it.

Jimmy Saville Rolf Harris Huw Edwards etc etc... Just three of many BBC scandals see Google for more, many more. People are turning away from the BBC because it's biased, woke, and very minority appeasing. Everything GB News is not. The BBC deserves its declining audience figures - link
BBC News Channel viewing slumps - link
I watch GB News all the time because it covers stories the BBC ignore.

The elephant in the room is GB News' status in the eyes of Ofcom.
I wouldn't want it shut down, but I would want it to be held to the same standards as other news outlets, by being recognised as a news outlet in the first place. Currently, Ofcom's official position is that GB 'News' is an entertainment channel, not a news outlet.
Close that loophole and let it continue.

But it's a left wing trait isn't it, anything they disagree with must be cancelled, banned, smashed. Outraged lefties really are the embodiment of the Hitler Youth.

All for the greater good of course, it seems it never actually works out that way, but tends to end up with it being for a very elite greater good, everyone else ends up at the foodbank, homeless and skint. It will be the Russians fault.

Anyone who watches will be aware that GB News jumps through hoops to make sure there's always an alternative opinion. Lefties aren't bothered about BBC bias which is well documented. GB News has to be seen to be fair and impartial, far more so than the minority loving English bashing BBC.

Cartertonian I agree. Although you appear to have found a loophole in the October 24th 2023 rule No.4 that avatars must not be likely to cause controversy. Most beneficial as it gives us a practical example of the scope available within the rules .... and a Global Moderator would know

He doesn't watch it, he just wants to stop others watching it because he doesn't like Neil Oliver. Anyway, devolution is a failure, abolish it.
