Robbie Gibb should have been ruled out of the running for the BBC Board in 2021: it was clear he'd been closely involved in setting up GB News - an ideological project aiming to rival to the BBC, & therefore a clear conflict of interest. The fact he was still allowed to join always rang alarm bells.

Hi Nigel Farage, do you approve of your councillors calling people “black cock slapper junkies”, whilst talking to Paul Golding of Britain First?

Because your councillor Peter Mason did that, and Leader on Staffordshire Council Ian Cooper thinks it’s fine…

Sickening footage of South Durham Huntsman Richard Smith hitting a poor horse on the head as the hunt master Rob Wilkinson seemingly finds it all rather amusing.

“It’s a smear” - Donald Trump
November 13, 2025 at 7:35 AM
There could be an email in there in which Trump confesses to being the second gunman on the grassy knoll, and his cult will love him for it.
Surely, if you know you are in the Epstein files, the best thing to do is to go public now, hold up your hands & confess to whatever you have done?

However bad for you, it will be better than keeping your head down and waiting until the Epstein files are released and we all know what you have done.

His MAGA cult will rejoice at this ringing endorsement of their man-god.
"I have met some very bad people....none as bad as trump.

Not one decent cell in his body..so yes - dangerous."

The biggest traitor to our country in modern times is Farage.

Supporter of our deadliest enemies - Putin and Trump.

How in the world can the ”patriots” in the UK support Farage and Reform?

Makes no sense.

Formerly extremely nasty, highly intelligent thug, POW escapee, former Cavalry officer Sir Winston Churchill would dangle Farage and Reform off a bridge by the ankles until they begged for forgiveness, and then some more.

I'd like to think that Auntie would return the favour and stop platforming far-right racists and grifters, but inevitably, this will see the BBC crawl even further up Farage's poopipe.

We dubbed it ‘Hamasgate’, the right wing went crazy over a simple truism - even suggesting I’d broken UK terror laws. MPs, Peers, the Daily Mail obvs, GB News - and others. It was crazy. I sued the ones that wouldn't correct what they’d said - current score 9 - 0.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.

He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour
