GB News is facing a backlash after a commentator on one of its shows suggested there is “a genocide happening” against white people in England and that immigrants could “turn” on the white population.

Ofcom has received 24 complaints, but has not yet decided whether to investigate.

They could receive 10,000 complaints they wouldn't investigate. A select committee was raking the head of ofcom over the coals about their lack of investigation into right-wing media groups over a year ago, and nothing came of it.

They're calling themselves a news organisation but they're as legitimate a news organisation as Fox news is.

Ofcom are clearly biased / corrupt

When was it broadcasted? A date is needed to register a complaint.

I doubt it will go very far, there's been a court ruling that GBnews is allowed to host "current affairs" programs, and that impartiality rules don't really apply to those. https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/GB-News-v-Ofcom.pdf
