“Sharia law is operational in large swathes of the United Kingdom.” The BBC is “erasing Christianity”, to be replaced with Islam or a “secular dystopia”. Meanwhile the archbishop of Canterbury is apparently doing “more to promote Islam than Christianity”.
Oh dear. Welcome to the unhinged alternative reality configured on GB News, where conspiracy theories about the Muslim takeover of British institutions and society are not simply fringe comments whispered in deep, dark corners of the internet (the archbishop prioritising Islam over Christianity is, after all, quite a feat), but primetime television fare. This week’s report by the Muslim Council of Britain’s Centre for Media Monitoring paints a picture of dangerous narratives being systematically mainstreamed by what is supposedly a regulated broadcaster.
