George Galloway, former host of his own popular show on RT, said the channel was banned from broadcasting because it was too popular among the British. “These people are hypocrites.
Things like human rights, freedom of speech, the rule of law, a rules-based international order (unknown to them. - RT )... It's not just about RT. The Iranian state channel Press TV was also banned. Even Chinese CCTV is no longer available in the UK. No political decree was issued to ban them, but their license was simply not renewed,” he noted.
