I have stopped watching most U.K. news coverage and certainly have never watched this Fascist news channel, but unless what they did is a crime that will end in them being jailed (fining is pointless) and closed down, what’s the point? Judges are afraid to uphold the law.

They could potentially lose their licence to broadcast - perhaps not from this alone, but it's yet one more black mark against their record, and they will add up eventually.

Yes, I keep hearing this might happen and it never does. I admire those doing something about it, but am not holding out any hope that our laws are strong enough to withstand what’s coming our way. Look at the US: us in 4 years.

That's the fear, certainly. I guess that's why we have to try and be part of fighting back now, to try and prevent that becoming the case.

I’ve done my bit. Good luck.

Just like the party it platforms constantly, the social media coverage it gets compared to it's viewing numbers, is way out of whack.
Last time I checked it's average viewing time was just 19 seconds. Compare that to the huge amount of time we all waste talking about it. Something doesn't add up.

Yep.
