Once again, OFCOM proving itself to be nothing more than a sinecure for failed civil servants (and twats).

GB News will not be investigated by the media regulator after a presenter insisted there was no riot in Belfast last month, despite cars and houses being set alight, attacks on police and families fleeing their homes.
Ofcom received more than 400 complaints following the comments by Bev Turner, presenter of the broadcaster’s Late Show Live, who said there “weren’t riots” and that no houses had been burnt in the violent disorder.
“There was no riot,” she said in a show broadcast hours after the unrest. “There is not a house that has been burnt down. There are no riots.”
When a guest on her show, political commentator Matthew Stadlen, pointed to footage of burning cars and houses, Turner replied she had seen it and it was “not that dramatic”.
