We are, of course, disappointed with today's decision - but not entirely surprised given the narrow parameters we were fighting within.
(click above for Dr Naomi Wolf's witness statement - delivered outside the court as she was not allowed to deliver it orally in court. Plus, my statement and Mark's - which were given in support of specific grounds in the case.)
This started as a battle between GB News and Ofcom. GB News sacrificed Mark whilst he was recovering from two heart attacks in an attempt to appease Ofcom. As noted in the court's decision, Ofcom was able to reach its decisions only by agreement with GB News - which avoided a fine being imposed.
We have been hamstrung from the very beginning by GB News' refusal to submit our and Dr Wolf's evidence to Ofcom during the investigative process. And, unfortunately, that meant the court cited Ofcom decision points without benefit of Mark's evidence.
Further, as to the second show with Dr Naomi Wolf, GB News refused even to provide the initial letter of inquiry from Ofcom to Mark. Instead, GB News used my request as an opportunity to attempt to force Mark to sign a general non-disclosure agreement. As I testified under oath, I advised Mark not to sign the NDA with GB News.

It is difficult to take anyone who says,”whilst” seriously.
“Whilst” is common in British English. Ofcom is in the United Kingdom.
Can someone summarize this? Why do we care about OFCOM?
Ofcom is a British agency that apparently gets to decide what ‘truth’ is in UK media. Mark Steyn filed a suit because they shut down his broadcasting on covid vaccine harm, & he lost his position on GB News as a result. This is a very sad day for truth & justice.
I know. Only recently, though, have the limeys started rubbing our noses in it.
I don’t understand. The Brits have used it forever.
Dang that sucks.
You probably say “round-a-bout” instead of “traffic circle.”
“You probably say “round-a-bout” instead of “traffic circle.””
Not only that, you have to go around the circle in the wrong direction.
rotary?
It keeps getting worse.
I’m not a Brit.
(And I hate traffic circles. Nobody in DC follows the rules.)
Right. No one.
Yeah, why can’t they speak ‘merican like we do?
