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?

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
