SPN: Dear Ofcom

I wish to make a complaint about a GB News broadcast segment that was promoted by GB News on social media on or around 9 March 2026.

Mar 10, 2026

Leg’ends,

Please take five minutes today to send this complaint to Ofcom and copy in your local MP.

We knew this kind of thing was coming. I talked about it in today’s papers, and Grahame called it too, cheers Grahame. But even when you expect it, the disgust still hits. Seeing this kind of rhetoric pushed out into the world, dressed up as commentary, is honestly unreal.

So here’s the ask - do one useful thing today.

Make the complaint.

Because this is how stuff gets normalised, when everyone sees it, hates it, talks about how awful it is, and then moves on. Public pressure matters. Clear, measured complaints matter. Regulators need to hear from real people, and MPs need to know their constituents are paying attention.

If you’re the kind of person who reads this Stack, you’re exactly the kind of person who can do something about it. You care, you’re engaged, and you know this stuff doesn’t get challenged unless ordinary people decide to challenge it.

So don’t just read this and feel sick. Read it, then act.

Send the complaint to Ofcom. Copy in your MP. Make it harder for language like this to be waved through, shrugged off, or treated as normal.

It takes five minutes. It genuinely helps. And if enough of us do it, it makes a difference.

If you want the world to be even slightly better by the end of today, this is a very good place to start.

And, just to be clear, in my opinion, the people backing and platforming this kind of stuff know exactly what they’re doing.

Dear Ofcom,

I wish to make a complaint about a GB News broadcast segment that was promoted by GB News on social media on or around 9 March 2026.

The official promotional post attributed the following statement to former Boris Johnson adviser Thomas Corbett-Dillon:

“There is a genocide happening in this island because it is being taken over by different people that are not indigenous to this land.”

I understand that Ofcom assesses the full broadcast rather than a social media clip on its own. I am therefore asking Ofcom to identify and review the full GB News programme or segment corresponding to that official promotional post. Ofcom’s guidance on clips and full-programme assessment is here:
https://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and-on-demand/broadcast-standards/tv-clips-on-social-media-what-they-mean-for-broadcast-complaints

My concern is that this language appears to describe migration and demographic change in a highly inflammatory and derogatory way, and may encourage hostility towards migrants and ethnic minority communities. In my view, the broadcast should be reviewed for potential breaches of the Broadcasting Code, including the rules relating to abusive or derogatory treatment, hate speech, offence, and due impartiality on matters of current public policy. The relevant Ofcom code pages are:
https://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and-on-demand/broadcast-standards/section-three-crime-disorder-hatred-abuse
https://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and-on-demand/broadcast-standards/section-two-harm-offence
https://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and-on-demand/broadcast-standards/section-five-due-impartiality-accuracy

I would be grateful if Ofcom could consider in particular whether:

the remarks amounted to abusive or derogatory treatment of a group or community;
the content was adequately challenged or contextualised by the presenter or other contributors;
the programme gave an appropriately wide range of significant views, given that migration is a major matter of public policy.

The social media post appears to relate to government announcements made on 9 March 2026 concerning a social cohesion or community action plan, which may help identify the relevant programme and date of broadcast. The related government page is:
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/action-plan-launched-tobuild-stronger-communities

I am not asking Ofcom to decide the matter based on the clip alone. I am asking Ofcom to review the full programme in context and determine whether the broadcast complied with the Code.

Yours faithfully,

Willy & Bill [Or your name]
