Good Morning Britain just gave us a masterclass in how not to do journalism β€” by dragging the national conversation straight into the ball pit of Nigel Farage’s teenage years. Yes, folks, the British media has officially traded policy for puberty.

πŸŽ’ Who Needs Policy When You’ve Got PE Class Memories?

Apparently, rigorous political analysis is passΓ©. Why ask real questions when you can rifle through a man’s Year 9 school report and drag on two ex-classmates with the memory reliability of dial-up internet? β€œHe once said something arrogant in 1981,” they gasp, expecting the nation to collectively faint. 🎭

But don’t worry β€” they’re definitely not political. They just don’t want him to be Prime Minister. Totally neutral stuff, like saying β€œI don’t support any team, I just hope Liverpool never win another match.” 🧐

GMB, in a bold leap of editorial logic, decided that actual policies, public service, or modern-day actions aren’t juicy enough. Better to dig up ancient hormonal squabbles and repackage them as political prophecy. Who needs investigative journalism when you’ve got nostalgia-fuelled vendettas?

This isn’t journalism β€” it’s Holby City: Secondary School Reunion Edition. πŸ€•πŸ“Ί

Maybe next week they’ll have his old PE teacher on to discuss his running technique as a metaphor for foreign policy. Or his Year 8 crush to confirm whether he’s always been emotionally distant. God help us if they get hold of his SAT scores β€” we might start rewriting the constitution. πŸ“œπŸ§ 

What this reveals is not just media laziness, but the total erosion of intellectual integrity. The mainstream press isn’t holding power to account β€” they’re holding a grudge from 40 years ago.

Meanwhile, viewers are left wondering whether they’re watching a news show or a spin-off of Gogglebox hosted by bitter ex-friends with unresolved trauma. And yet they wonder why ratings are in freefall. πŸͺ‚

Why is our national discourse being hijacked by playground tales and veiled bias dressed as β€œnews”? Are we really this starved of substance? What’s your take: is this pathetic, predictable, or both? πŸ“‰πŸ—£οΈ

Like it, share it, and tag someone who’s tired of journalists cosplaying as teenage tattlers.
