GB News under attack?

But OFCOM is as biased as any other organisation..it imposes it's views on the world.



Ofcom, for Robin Aitken, a former BBC reporter, is a deeply political organisation – a biased referee, if you like – and should be recognised as such. It may not censor, but it controls public debate: “Whether one calls that ‘censorship’ or not is a semantic argument, but there is no doubt that Ofcom uses its powers to banish from the airwaves viewpoints and ideas it does not like”.

To make his point, Aitken reminds us of the Overton window, a concept in social theory that there is a restricted range of ideas that the public finds acceptable for mainstream debate. He uses the example of Ofcom’s ruling against a broadcaster for interviewing David Icke about his views on how the pandemic “was a ruse by a New World Order to impose its will”. Whatever your take on Icke, Aitken argues, there is no doubt that “Mr Icke’s, and others’, rights to “free speech” were compromised” and Ofcom overstepped its remit.

 The Right tend not to use Lawfare to overturn govt laws for the simple reason that our judiciary is largely Left wing nowadays (because of Blair) so it wouldn't work.

The government (the executive) creates the laws but they are then subject to "interpretation" by the courts. There's a fine line between interpreting the law and redefining the law and Blair's Supreme court is guilty of rewriting laws in some cases. When they ruled that Boris's prorogation of Parliament was illegal the judiciary moved very firmly into the area of what should be political decisions, and the reason was very obvious - most of the judges were anti-Brexit.
 
As for "The Will Of The People was to leave the EU - we did so" the over-ruling of the prorogation of Parliament meant that, with the connivance of the anti-Brexit Speaker, the opposition parties hijacked the govt's agenda and managed to propose and pass the "Surrender Act" which made it illegal for the govt to leave the EU under terms that the EU didn't agree. That was an act of treason and left the govt with no negotiating position.

As for Boris lying to Parliament he did not. He said that he was advised that no Covid laws had been broken. Boris lives in a separate flat (above no 11) and number 10 is a huge building with a vast number of people working in it - he can't be expected to know what's going on in every room. And after the police investigation (over 6 months) Boris was charged with ONE count of a accepting a surprise birthday cake while taking a work meeting - which was not a party. The guy who DID break the rules was Kier Starmer but the police let him off.

As for examples of the will of the people being denied we're spoilt for choice. Brexit is one example, as I've said above, where we ended up with a bad deal because our politicians (who are 75% remainer) fought Brexit all the way. And there's now the problem with attempting to deport illegal immigrants. Any attempt to do so ends up with a wall of immigration lawyers using "Human Rights" law (or case law to be accurate) to prevent their deportation. 

It's getting to the point now that where the courts are now more powerful than the government - which is basically the end of democracy because we can't sack the judges.  
  

You'd make more sense if you talked backwards in Swahili

You can't deny it and believe you're impressing the far-left with your retro stock responses.

No wonder. 🤣
