The fact they suspended them probably helps them with Ofcom as well. They sort of invite this needlessly though by continuing to try and push the envelope and wind people up, they want to upset people but sometimes they go too far.
Not sure how they get away with the government interviewing other members of the government though.

Well, plastic fantastic motor mouth Vorderman, made a complaint to ofcom before it broadcast, the dimwit not realising they deal with post broadcast material. I don’t watch Anderson’s show so didn’t see it, but apparently as long as he had someone else to counter Lee, it would/should be okay.

The channel is a parody of credibility. It may suit your world view but don't for one minute claim it is an objective News channel.

More credible than the BBC & woke ITV. Channel 4 are Labour mouthpieces. Sky News is abysmal now that it’s owned by the liberal Comcast, from the U.S.

There’s absolutely nothing stopping anyone starting a thread called ‘cancel the nonce-enabling BBC’ if they want, but nobody should be criticised for not starting that thread.

Chris, please don’t lecture me what a discussion forum is, having part owned this one for 20 years, I don’t need telling & if I want to carry on raising hypocrisy, where I see it, I will.
