Ok so I left Britain more than 15 years ago and have been living in Norway, blissfully unaware of what's been happening. I recently went back to visit family, where I notice that my dad's had a bit of a swing to the right, politically speaking. At some point he put on gbnews.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!?

How popular is this blatant propaganda?

Are you middle aged and unsuccessful?
Do you blame every problem in your life on foreigners and immigrants?
Want to have fear mongering propaganda blasted into your brain all day?

If so, youll love GBNews!

So how big of a problem is it?

Not a huge one yet, it's mostly the already-gone daily mail brainworms lot that watch it.

But it has every intention (along with Murdoch's talktv) of being as much of a tumour on our society as fox news is in the states.

I think we need another round of stopfundinghate
