At it again..
BTW Did anyone read anything about a sports presenter over the weekend? Oddly the story was missing from one news source completely. (Rhetorical question so use google and don't answer here if you haven't.)

Ofcom has said it is considering a statutory sanction against GB News, after the channel was found to have broken due impartiality rules.
The broadcast regulator announced in February it was investigating a Q&A session which saw Prime Minister Rishi Sunak take questions from the public.
On Monday, Ofcom said it had concluded the programme, called People's Forum: The Prime Minister, broke its broadcasting rules.
"Given this represents a serious and repeated breach of these rules, we are now starting the process for consideration of a statutory sanction against GB News," Ofcom said.
In a statement, GB News said: "Ofcom's finding against GB News today is an alarming development in its attempt to silence us by standing in the way of a forum that allows the public to question politicians directly.
"The regulator's threat to punish a news organisation with sanctions for enabling people to challenge their own prime minister strikes at the heart of democracy at a time when it could not be more vital."
