If anyone still believes we are a democratic country, they are fools. Corrupt elections, a PM obsessed with power and refuses scrutiny, mass control of the media, boundary changes to the electoral map, refusing to release information in the public’s interest to protect him etc...

Good riddance. I didn't even know it wasn't private already.

Good, its a Marxist cesspool

SandraDunn1955 That'll teach Chanel4 to ask difficult questions to Tory MPs and a lying PM. Democracy taking back control, Whaa

Yes it’s about time and the BBC as well If you fight against democracy what do you expect

This is pure sign of nazism tactics! Shut people’s voice! I can see this dictator ruining Country !

Channel 4 is a major pain in his arse

Might not mind if Channel 4 sold to a Dutch tv mogul like JohndeMol1 or even Joop van den Ende. Who knows we might even get to see it here in Holland. No go now, or iPlayer. Great pity. Then again, they’d only be interested in a commercial proposition

We can all easily tune in to Radio EU. Am sure they'll set up an English language service to assist the 'suppressed' in Britain.

Everyday the Torys dig a bigger and bigger hole for themselves

Spiteful B-----d

Johnson is dangerous, I suspect he's easily bought. He seems quite weak and easily swayed.

has he sold it to Fox News?

What I love about this government is how they are not so secretly removing free speech - in other words those people who don’t agree with them will be silenced.

Is it going to be replaced by a Murdoch channel? Just asking.

Of course he did. The bloody man would sell his grandparents to get into power.

Bloody Johnson. Trying to stifle dissent & make money - hands off!

jacquep It's about time these bloody Tory almost-whistleblowers finally grew enough of a set to come out and say it publicly. Clearly nothing else is going to work.

Hold on, it's half privately owned and half owned by the BBC Boris has fuck all to do with it

Isn't it publicly owned though? He's pfaffing and waffling around trying to remove all criticism of himself but we can see right through him. inadequateJohnson

fascinatorfun How does selling a public service broadcaster do service to the public ? The whole point of having public service broadcasting is to stop commercial interest & bias in things like the News. I know BorisJohnson doesn’t like the truth but that’s just tough !!!

'follow the money'

raphaeldogg And channel4 turned totally AntiCorbyn in response.

PointlessBrexit guyverhofstadt we really need EU TV/Radio, we can't trust our own media anymore.

No surprise Johnson hates Channel4News

Would it be sold to a ‘friendly Conservative supporter’ I wonder – I fear they want to control the press not by regulation but by ownership and political loyalties – another of Trumps influences?

He hasn't actually used the phrase 'fake news' yet in public but he's implying it by his attitude towards any media that critisises him.

Sell it to his bosom buddy Murdoch? Turn it into a Johson loving version of the Trump loving Fox.

Excellent news

Good riddance.

The Guardian view of Boris Johnson: neglecting the nation | EditorialEditorial: He ignores the floods while pursuing immigration plans and an attack on the BBC, which are destructive and divisive. The prime minister does not care Simple. No plan. Floods affect governments . Two ministers resigned willingly after the drowning of children and adults near the dead sea area in jordan last year.Other floods claimed the lives of some individuals seperately later that year . May all rest in peace🙏 Another Orange Conman...? Is it a virus?

Boris Johnson risks it all with power grab | Observer lettersHe and Dominic Cummings might just have sown the first seeds of their own downfall From who? Lyin saj. Where’s the Russia Report? Can whistleblowers contact you with details and concerns? Where is the ISC? Why has this not been formed yet? What is happening to intelligence review? What is happening to our security? Hearing Johnson had won the GE left me somewhat saddened with the electorate. I believe that a majority of his voters are already feeling let down by there Leader. Since the news that the Idiot had won I decided to to sit back and wait for the shit to hit the fan. Here it comes.

Boris Johnson is the ultimate purveyor of fake news | Roy GreensladeThe ‘brilliant entertainer’, aware of the tricks of his old trade, is doing everything to avoid being subject to its wiles That can't be true... Boris never would do.. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 Usual drivel from the Guardian. Boris Johnson has found an inexhaustible gold mine. Common British peoples' hatred of Catholics, Asians, Blacks, Gays and immigrants. By diverting the attention of the uneducated masses to such base things, he would implement his neoliberal policies.
