GB News insisting ‘genocide’ against white people in UK

GB News recently gave Thomas Corbett-Dillon a platform to cynically claim that a genocide is being waged against white people in the UK. Subsequently, the Guardian reported that complaints have been made to Ofcom suggesting his comments even managed to cause offence among their right-wing viewers.

The offensive comments were made on GB News’ US-based Late Show Live last week, during a discussion on anti-extremism strategies in the UK.

Corbett-Dillon apparently advised Boris Johnson and worked on Penny Mordaunt’s failed leadership campaign, so this gross man is no stranger to far-right hateful views.

Showing a traditional lack of humility amongst racist, extremist pricks, Corbett-Dillon stated:

I hate this idea that England is just a no man’s land. No, there is an indigenous population that have lived on that island for thousands of years.

If this was happening in any other place around the world, everyone would be defending and saying: ‘Wow, there’s a genocide happening in this island because it is being taken over by different people that are not indigenous to that land.’

White supremacists given uncritical airtime

Thomas Corbett-Dillon joined fellow white privileged wankers as they condescendingly judged UK policy to tackle extremism in the Muslim community. Basically, a bunch of far-right extremists came together on the far-right TV news show, coincidentally the broadcast arm of Reform UK, to stoke fears of the extremism of Brown people.

Standard arrogant Western behaviour with precious little self-awareness, obviously.

Our own Skwawkbox wrote at the time:

Former Boris Johnson adviser Thomas Corbett-Dillon has appeared on far-right broadcaster GB News insisting that the channel is nowhere near extremist but insteaad lovely, cuddly, and “really, really impartial.”

Barely a breath later, he was confidently telling his white, male GB News panellists that the UK is suffering a genocide from all the migrants coming in, especially the Muslims. Not a single one of them disagreed.

Adding:

Corbett-Dillon apparently did a ‘Tommy Robinson’ and changed his original name Craig Dillon to something posher-sounding. He even went so far as to suggest, with horror, that if white people moved to the Pacific and became the majority there would be resistance in the UN.

Perhaps he’s never heard of Australia or New Zealand.

This sickening display of white supremacy on GB News has resulted in 24 complaints made to Ofcom, however the Guardian inform they are yet to decide whether an investigation is necessary. This is hardly surprising when the “regulator” itself allows biased coverage if it comes from Farage and co.

A blatant bias we wrote about earlier today:

GB News lives by its own rules and Ofcom is perfectly willing to throw the rule book out of the window for this billionaire-interested political party. It would even seem that the supposed regulator believes the hateful views espoused by the channel to be ‘accurate.’

This calls the regulator’s impartiality into question, since biased rule-makers cannot provide un-biased remedies. A functioning democracy does not silence political views. It should make space for diverse perspectives to shape better decisions.

Corbett-Dillon isn’t remotely bothered about the offence he’s caused, of course. Nevertheless, 24 complaints from an audience of far-right viewers in response to a racist comment is quite an achievement:

A reminder of very real genocides committed by White colonialists and how those horrific actions shape Western perceptions today:

GB News: Lies, lies, lies, and more lies

He’s just a racist idiot inciting hate. As the video below shows, he even seems to forget that the majority of benefit claimants are White British people. In fact, they appear slightly overrepresented among benefit claimants, making up 76.2% compared to 74.4% of the population.

Furthermore, white people do not face the same structural and societal barriers as Black and Brown communities, particularly in access to opportunity and gainful employment. Socio-economic conditions disproportionately affect minoritised groups, therefore we would expect Black and Brown communities to make up a larger share of claimants. Nevertheless, it is White people disproportionately claiming more ‘freebies’ from the state.

As a result, his claim that white “indigenous” people are “taxed brutally” to fund welfare for minoritised groups does not stand up to the faintest scrutiny.

Racist White men simply just need to feel superior with their fragile egos and lack of self-awareness.

GB News is just amplifying race-baiting, as usual:
