GB News
GB News, purveyors of freedom of speech, kick Michael Crick out of the studio after he calls GB News a right wing channel and criticises OfCom for doing nothing about GB News, ironically, during a segment on freedom of speech.MC writes, "Eventually, during a break, an angry producer of the programme marched in and said "Out", and pointing at me, "You, Out!" He said I'd refused to "move on", in terms of topic. Gosh he was furious. So anyway, I left."

00:00 Now you talk about being broadly wary of censorship.

00:57 They're predominantly on the right.

01:12 as Brexit party leader.
01:13 We're going into...
01:14 You've got Boris Johnson, you've got Jacob Rees-Mogg, you've got Philip Davis, you've
