Furious GB News Viewers ‘Switch Off’ as Explosive Migrant Debate Sparks Outrage
GB News recently hosted a debate that sparked strong reactions from viewers. The discussion, led by presenters Stephen Dixon and Ellie Costello, focused on the issue of illegal migrants crossing the English Channel. According to GB News, over 1,300 people crossed the Channel in just five days. The debate was prompted by reports that a French ship followed a group of migrants halfway across the Channel before alerting the UK Border Force, which then brought them to Dover.
During the debate, commentators Alex Armstrong and Scarlette MccGwire shared their views on the situation. Scarlette expressed confusion about why migrants are so determined to reach the UK, saying many had already traveled across the Mediterranean. Alex, however, argued that the UK’s benefits system, including free accommodation and meals, is a major draw for migrants. The conversation became heated as the two clashed over the reasons behind the crossings.
Viewers watching the debate didn’t hold back their opinions either. Many took to social media to express their frustration. One viewer criticized Scarlette, calling her comments “a complete load of tosh” and suggesting it was time to change the channel. Another viewer pointed out inconsistencies in the arguments, referencing a previous claim that migrants don’t speak English. A third viewer also slammed Scarlette’s remarks, calling them “utter tosh” and urging the show to stop inviting her as a guest.
