In case you didn’t know, July 7 this year was International Kissing Day. GB News pointed that out with contempt as the presenter said while the BBC and Sky News had acknowledged this on their homepages, they had ignored something far more important.

Over the last few months the mainstream media coverage about anti-semitism and Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party has reached Alice in Wonderland proportions.
How surreal, you ask? Here are a few examples.
