Seems appropriate, he can join the other wackos on this channel.

Private Eye did an article on some of these unsavoury individuals: https://www.private-eye.co.uk/issue-1589/media-news

Patrick Christys

In one recent show, presenter Patrick Christys praised a largely discredited new book which claims Covid was genetically engineered and leaked on purpose, with help from US chief national scientific adviser Anthony Fauci and cover-ups by UK scientists.

The book, by one Andrew Huff, has been treated sceptically by other media outlets, but Christys and guest Dominique Samuels claimed it proved that so-called Covid conspiracists were "completely vindicated" on a host of issues.

Dan Wootton

Last month presenter Dan Wootton interviewed controversial online personality Andrew Tate, who was allowed to refer to an "imaginary pandemic" and deny that hospitals had been overrun without any challenge

Mark Steyn

Meanwhile, on his personal podcast, GB News presenter Mark Steyn said the slowing of the birth rate of "Aryans", who built "western civilisation", had been accelerated by Covid vaccines. He openly celebrated the fact that Ofcom does not regulate his personal show.

Nick Dixon

Another purveyor of wacky Covid opinions is Nick Dixon, a host of GB News's paper review and presenter of the Daily Sceptic podcast, which grew out of a previous Lockdown Sceptics website founded by armchair epidemiologist Toby Young. When he's not on GB News, Dixon can be seen online praising people who didn't get the vaccine, calling them "pure bloods".

Calvin Robinson

It's not only the pandemic where those given voice and prominence by GB News veer towards the unhinged. Host Calvin Robinson, who dresses in an old-fashioned clergy uniform despite the Church of England having declined to ordain him, shared the unfounded theory that the Ukraine war is a money-laundering operation for US aid to be donated to the Democratic party via the use of cryptocurrency.

During recent immigration debates, Robinson, who is black, repeatedly praised the views of Enoch "Rivers of Blood" Powell, tweeting that "Powell provided an important contribution to the conversation" and changing his background image to a picture of the politician.
