Last week, the Conservative party deputy chairman and GB News presenter Lee Anderson was interviewed by his fellow presenter Nigel Farage on Farage’s GB News show. Or rather it was not really an interview but a sort of ideological pastiche, with Farage paying lip-service to a journalistic role while telegraphing his political support for his colleague.
What occasioned this meeting of like minds was the fact that Anderson had made one of his by now familiar “controversial” statements. He had told the Daily Express that if asylum seekers didn’t want to stay on the Bibby Stockholm barge in Portland harbour, they could “fuck off back to France”.
