Stirring Shit and Calling It Journalism – Ben Leo

You filthy, brain-dead bastards, gather ‘round and listen up, because your ol’ pal Spider’s got a bone to pick, and it’s a big one. You know I’ve got a soft spot for Don and Sal, those glorious truth-bombers over at NoHoldsBarred, slinging facts like grenades into the cesspool of lies you call media. So when I hear another one of GB News’s wankers is out there threatening Don, you bet your sorry asses I’m gonna dive headfirst into the muck to see what’s what. And oh, what a steaming pile of bullshit I found.

But GB News. Christ, where do I start? This isn’t their first rodeo in the shit-show spotlight, and it won’t be the last. They’re not a news channel – they’re a goddamn propaganda circus, peddling fear and division while wrapping it in a Union Jack and calling it “reporting.” I’ve had my own run-ins with their so-called “journalists,” and let me tell you, these pricks make my skin crawl worse than a sewer rat. Take Adam Brooks, that sanctimonious little turd who blocked me for calling out his nonsense. When Don tried? He attempted to put his big boy pants on.

Threatened to sue Don over some imagined slight, all while the hashtag #BrooksRiots lit up the feeds like a Molotov cocktail. Brooks had nothing – zip, nada, just hot air and deleted videos he thought would vanish. Newsflash, you dim-witted fuck: the internet doesn’t forget.

Copies exist, and so does your embarrassment. Long live #BrooksRiots, you pointless wanker.

But now? Oh, now we’ve got a new kid on the block, some baby-faced dipshit named Ben, who looks like he’s barely old enough to shave but thinks he’s the second coming of Cronkite. This clown’s out here pulling the same tired playbook as Brooks: stir up trouble, point fingers, and cry foul when someone calls him on it. Don caught wind of this twat “door-knocking” on streets with asylum seeker HMOs run by Serco, poking his nose where it doesn’t belong to whip up some hate-clicks. Tabloid 101, folks – find a scapegoat, light a match, and watch the chaos burn. Don, being the sharp bastard he is, called it out, and what does Ben do? Slides into Don’s DMs with a pathetic “First of all, you’re a wet wipe.” Real classy, Ben. You kiss your mother with that mouth?

This self-important prick then tells Don to “engage your brain” before tweeting, as if Don doesn’t have a stack of receipts taller than Ben’s ego. Here’s the kicker: Ben’s own posts – his own goddamn words – admit he was door-knocking, stirring the pot. It’s right there in black and white, you delusional fuck. Don says Ben’s encouraging criminality by fanning the flames of tension, and Ben loses his shit, whining about libel and tossing out veiled threats like “So you ‘Don,’ whoever the fuck you are.” Oh, Ben, you’re not just a clown – you’re the whole circus. If you don’t like being called out, maybe stop being a cunt. Simple fix.

I dug deeper, because that’s what I do, you filthy lot. I scoured Ben’s recent posts, and surprise, surprise: it’s a masterclass in pushing division while pretending it’s journalism.

August 16, 2025: he’s whining about an Afghan asylum seeker in a house that used to belong to a British single mom, framing it as “foreigners over British kids.” Subtle as a sledgehammer, Ben.

August 14: he’s screaming about “unknown illegal migrants” roaming streets and invading women’s homes, demanding detention centres and deportations.

August 10: he calls migration an “invasion,” the “biggest national security threat since WW2.”

And on August 8, he’s taking shots at anti-racism activists, calling them hypocrites for fighting back at a protest. It’s not reporting – it’s a fucking script, designed to rile up the worst instincts in the room.

This isn’t news; it’s a hate-click factory, and Ben’s just another cog in the machine.

So what’s the deal, GB News? Is it in the contract that you’ve got to be a divisive prick on and off-screen? Do you get a bonus for every racist dog-whistle you blow? Or is it just that anyone with half a brain cell gets fired on day one? Ben’s out here proving Don’s point with every tweet, every DM, every snivelling attempt to dodge accountability. Don’s got the facts, the receipts, and the balls to call it like it is. Ben? He’s got a GB News badge and a bad attitude, and that’s about it.

Here’s the truth, you miserable bastards: Ben, Brooks, and the rest of the GB News clown car aren’t journalists. They’re shills, peddling fear and division for clicks and clout. They’re not reporting the news – they’re making it, stirring up trouble and then crying when someone points out the obvious. Don’s right, and they can’t stand it. So, Ben, take your wannabe tough-guy act and your Shill Mitchell brother cosplay with Tuffs, and fuck off to the USA like you keep threatening. Do us all a favour and make it quick. The country doesn’t need another self-important twat clogging up the airwaves.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a bottle of something strong and a country to save. Stay filthy, you beautiful bastards, and keep listening to Don and Sal. They’re the real deal. Unlike GB News, which can choke on its own bullshit.
