It helps to have seen the original GB News report, when it became apparent that those protesting about genocide in Gaza outside King's College, Cambridge utterly cold-shouldered Suella Braverman when she came in a phoney attempt to interview them, solely to promote her own cause, but this is brilliant:

One can only hope in the “silence of the ballot box” the “genociders” will see their comeuppance! This may still be possible in the UK but not in the USA.
Hi Richard,
There is also a follow up where Braverman debates a young activist in the studio. I think this is it

Braverman was torn apart
What stands out here is the problem that lies at the heart of GB news (and actually most legacy media) – the aim of journalism should be to examine power and hold it to account, and not give power a free voice against, in this case, a student protestor. Braverman is far more powerful than who she was debating, in a context that was entirely on her side, yet she still managed to fail miserably. What sickens me most is that this was a microcosm of the disdain that those in Westminster show for those on the outside.
Owen Jones on his channel had a great takedown of this, plus a brave student that went on GB News (or as James O’Brien accurately calls it “GBeebies”) and eloquently and forcefully challenged Braverman on the channel.
I will take a look.
I think Owen is doing good stuff riught now. We are discussing doing something togather.
That would be good. I hope it happens.
Agreed – just brilliant. Both the song and the protesters cold shouldering her. And good to see the Jewish guy there as well
This was a perfect example of how to protest in front of a government minister and the media – offer silence!
