The Chair of Ofcom's term expires next year, and the Government is already looking for a replacement. Hopefully that will see an improvement.

But GB News will just go on to YouTube if they're really cracked down upon. I'd be happy with that, but it by no means goes away, nor can it be made to go away. Just as "Leveson 2" wouldn't make the Telegraph suddenly be fair to Starmer.

If there was any inkling of meaningful sanctions against GBeebies I can imagine an army of lawyers being involved and even more abuse aimed at the government from elsewhere.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Yeah, possibly. The Ofcom rules seem they should be doing something. Is a judge going to throw all those rules out?

I see that most of the GBeebies staff spent the first 12 minutes of the new year carefully studying the firework display to find something to be angry about. I think they basically wanted 12 minutes of fireworks depicting the Union flag accompanied by the national anthem. Anything short of that would be considered woke and Unbritish.

Remember it's the left who do silly identity politics. The right is laser focussed on real issues.

Union flag? Pah, dreadfully woke symbol of 'so-called' Britishness, claimed by some of our colonial brethren (about whom we know nothing of their true loyalties). Plus of course the wantaway Celts. What's wrong with a nice flag of St George? Forever.

I've become aware I don't negatively associate the Union flag with far right ideology as much these days, certainly not as much as a decade or so ago when Nick Griffin was the poster boy, now in the obscurity that hopefully Yaxley will be in due course. St George's is the flag now that when I see flying, I think it's been hoisted up there by some violent, insecure, wife beaters, who burst into tears the moment they are in a dock. And I'm probably not wrong.
