It's always the ones you least expect. My mind was absolutely BLOWN when I seen who it was that was stalking her. Well done Ellie for speaking out ! It takes a lot of guts to speak out. It's a lot easier to keep it quiet and think it will go away.
@Heytno Campest straight guy I've seen. It proves that it's not always a physically unappealing person who stalks and commits crimes. It's your average Joe, who's respected.
@@danielledewitt1 He admitted it you fool and got a couple of weeks or months in prison. Ive seen the programne which told all about it. I thought he was gay so that shocked me more than the stalking.
Was a suspended sentence unfortunately meaning that he hasn’t actually served any time in prison, know there is a chance he still could if he does anything else but really should have served some time for what he did and guess I wasn’t the only one who thought he was gay
Weirdo world. Thanks Ellie for mentioning that harassment starts before you said stop. Vital info. My wife was stalked every morning as she walked to work, the driver in the car would slow down to walking speed and sound the horn, he wound the window down and tried to speak to her, offering a lift, a date etc., she got very scared. This went on for weeks One morning I decided to walk 100m behind her across the road and it happened again, so I took a photo of the reg plate and called the Police who issued him with a restraining order, turned out he was a married man with 3 kids - not anymore.
Courts have the power to issue a restraining order, not police forces (at least not in the UK anyway). Imagine if they did, they'd have to work overtime. You can't even get them to come out to a burglary.
Ellie is so brave. It’s sad she has been put through this cr@p. Steven is a lovely Co worker and friend. Ellie , you speaking up will encourage others that are going through similar situations. Good on you.
I know who the stalker is. I remember him from a TV show about airports, years ago. He was brutally insulted by a cockney nutter whilst working for EasyJet, because a flight to Barcelona got cancelled. The clip is here on YT.
There's nothing brave about being a victim and being stalked. What is brave is going on TV and telling that story and also taking it to court and standing her ground infront of opposition. Well done her for prosecuting it.
Ellie be so proud of your self You are so strong I don't know where you get your courage from Thank you for sharing your story Stay strong,safe and well🙏💖💯
Hats off to you Ellie, glad you got the justice you so deserved! The fact is that this come from a gentleman that you would least expect to do things like this. Saint Leo man, why...just why? So disappointed.
What you are saying is a lie. He put her through hell for 16 months. If I was the judge I would have sent the sick little scrote down for 5 years and that would have been the end of it. @@danielledewitt1
I'm so pleased for Ellie, that she was eventually taken seriously! I have been stalked for years by a man who lives in a flat opposite me, and the police handling of it has been completely negligent. The police have even admitted it, and that it has been handled poorly. My local Councillor has tried to get the police to take my case seriously and yet nothing has been done 😔 I can relate to Ellie's story. You live in constant fear of leaving or returning to your home, I'm a prisoner in my own home. I Essentially experienced lockdown times 2, and now still remain in a kind of lockdown. To this day the police have done nothing. 😔 I feel I will only feel safer if I move. The police have said due to his proximity to my home, he is not a stalker.😔 and its not the case in reality. He follows me even though he lives in the areas, and tries to approach me and talk to me. It's scary! it's been devastating that the police have been so negligent particularly with the Sarah Everard and other publicised cases which were in the news around the same time I reported it to them. We need help.
Dear Ellie, you are a wonderful professional and really didn't deserve this. As a man, I'm disgusted about this lack of respect shown to you by another man. You have shown great strength.
Ellie love, what an absolute nightmare. I do hope you can move on from this. You are so very strong as I had absolutely no Idea that you were enduring this. Again, I am so sorry to hear about this. Keep well and hope you can move on.
My only problem with Ellie's story is that she was helped by the police fairly quickly due to being a celebrity. Ordinary women......usually stonewalled.
I'm not sure about how you've worded that. You haven't got a problem with Ellie's story...rather you've got a problem with society's attitude to stalking/harassment?
no Leo Jones the guy that stalked Ellie Costello has not been sent to prison , but if he tries to get in touch with Ellie again for the next 5 years ,than he does risk going to prison
@@JakeCole1453 well Ellie is happy with the five-year restraining order given to Leo by the way , but i thought Leo Jones was a nice person when he first appear on that itv show airline
A friend of mine (woman, 25 yo) is being stalked. She refuses to block him on her phone and social media, but she block other annoying people (like estate agents etc). She likes to play victim. But Ellie, you did well to block him. Many women don't.
GBNews MUST HAVE improved protocols for their staff to report stalkers and other miscreants to their superiors and to the authorities. Ellie needed that help and it wasn't there for her. Glad she's ok.
In the U.S. restraining orders last forever, until a victim lifts the order with the court. The downside to a restraining order is it is only a piece of paper. It has no super powers. A true stalker can not resist what they do. They will continue and sometimes to a deadly end. She still needs to be aware and watchful...unless he is in a jail cell.
See my reply above. Restraining orders are so often an incitement to violence rather than restraining the abusive person. Too many women are killed or maimed with a restraining order. Stalking a stalker is more effective even than jail, especially with hardware!
@@TheProfanePrimate it is in the state of Colorado. I should have clarified. A "permanent" restraining order is permanent here until the victim asks for it to be lifted.

Great interview and thank you for raising awareness and highlighting the crimes of stalking and harassment. This type of crime is often ignored or trivialised and has a lasting impact on victims’ mental health which should not be under estimated. He was lucky he only got a suspended sentence and let’s hope the restraining order works for Ellie’s sake.
Definition of harassment:- Being approached by a bloke you don't find sexually attractive! Worry not. Men have got the message. That's why overwhelmingly now, men never approach or date & would most certainly never marry a woman. Don't worry about Ms. Costello. She'll be fine with her boxed wine, Ben & Jerry's & a cat!
@stuart. Oh, get over yourself and your self-pitying victimhood. You're twisting everything you can into 'misandry', when the only victim (in this case) is the woman. Stop exploiting the stories of real victims, just so you can claim to be eternally victimised instead. He didn't just 'approach' her. He spent SIXTEEN MONTHS sending her letters, flowers, demands for contact, hanging around her workplace, etc. That was despite her making it perfectly clear from the VERY START, that she wasn't interested in his advances (and didn't want messages from him). If you think that is just a normal 'approach', my man, you sadly need psychotherapy yourself. That is instead a disturbing obsession, and a clear indicator he has no respect for normal boundaries. You don't think most people would worry, after telling a person to leave them alone, to then get messages like: 'How long do I have to wait to see you? It's driving me insane.'? You don't think it's worrying he wasn't getting the clear message, and apparently has delusions that a 'relationship' will happen anyway (regardless of her wishes)? It isn't worrying that he then escalated the forced contact, by following her around? You think most people wouldn't then worry, just how far he's going to go, to get what he wants from her? If he's that hellbent on ignoring boundaries and forcing contact upon her (contact that was escalating), she would naturally worry he might escalate it to breaking into her home or worse. He's made it clear he's determined to have a sexual/romantic relationship with her (regardless of what she says). So what's he going to do next, to force his desires on her? If you think this is how 'normal' men approach women, you seriously need professional help. Wake up from your self-focused slumber, and recognise cases in which women really ARE the victims (not the perpetrator).
@@Design_no I didn’t say it was a capital crime, but it is a crime under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 which includes stalking. The perpetrator got off lightly with a suspended sentence and men are stalked too.
OMG Ellie! Absolutely heartbreaking to know you had to go through this. Such a bright smile and professional manner on screen, I hope you get back to relaxing at some point. GB News - double her holiday allowance please, a nice trip to the sun beckons! Well done for having the strength to help other women in your position, as a man it does make me ashamed, I guess it’s for the rest of us to try to be better people. Good luck 👍🏼
How the hell is that “brave””? She” didn’t “DO” anything. It was done by someone else, and she reacted. She could not stop it. She could not do anything about it. She had no choice to endure it, and no choice but to cope with it. She had panic attacks and broke down crying. When did the definition of “brave” change? She didn’t “bravely” enter a situation voluntarily -that’s bravery - making the choice to do something even though you know it is dangerous.
I think women are used to the fact, not to be taken seriously, to be seen hysteric, and to be seen to exaggerate and overreacting. Finally, to feel guilty, like: "if I had done this ...., or if I had reacted more early ... " and so on, simply conscious or subconscious blame them self, and feel ashamed, perhaps, that's why they don't want to tell anyone. This seems in our blood from early age. To explain such a situation to a male is almost impossible ( sorry if this sounds so general, but my experience in that way has never changed all my life, and I am quite old now.) I also find it so ignorant, to ask for "strength" on behalf of the woman, who is harassed. Thank you for coming out with this terrible story of what happened to you and that you don't try to hide your fear and anxiety.
First, BRAVO for Ellie for reporting it before it got worse. Sadly, it was Leo Jones from Airline, so cute so loveable, think he'd have a dozen lady chasers
I feel really sorry for you and I don’t believe that most Police forces, take this as seriously as they should. I hope you’re are getting the support to recover, that you need.
@@Design_no I’m not kidding. They’ll do the easy thing of monitoring social media, but when it’s comes to investigating proper crime’s, out in the big, bad world, they’re found lacking. I’d call stalking, burglary, violence against the person or property, a bit more important, than addressing someone with the wrong pronouns on Twitter.
@@jhellnowh stalking is very difficult to prove and at the lower end of criminality, and not very common. Remember, there is no violence involved. That's the way it is. You wanna go lock every person up without good evidence? Sounds like a great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live in your world.
I WOULD HAVE TO ASK YOU, 'WHERE WERE THE MEN IN YOUR LIFE?' I LIVE IN CORNWALL & I KNOW OF ONE BOYFRIEND WHO WARNED ONE PERSISTENT MAN THAT IF HE DIDN'T STAY AWAY FROM HIS GIRLFRIEND, HE WOULD END UP DISAPPEARING DOWN A TIN MINE?
I had a stalker. The police did nothing, I had to give up my job and move. When my dad found out he bullied me over it. The whole thing gave me mental problems.
This bloke should be named ,shamed identified (photoed,bugger his privacy) so everyone knows who he is and can keep a lookout as to where he is - too many dangerous people on the streets.
Bless you Ellie, you were very brave - hope things are getting back to normal for you ❤fortunately legislation has moved on and there is a greater duty of care from the Police etc.
Many People think pretty blondes have it all!.. but I can tell you, looking nice and being nice gets you unwanted hassle from men and bitchy behaviour from other women.
Thanks for sharing. I went through hell.. I didn’t process it. 12 years on complex PTSD. So I can’t get out the house alone. Consequences I’m missing out on my newborn granddaughter down south and my 11 year old should be enjoying summer holidays. The ripple effects are horrendous and you then feel guilty yourself. My stalker is dead now. But very alive in my head. Everyday.
bizarrely saw something on the show he was in and it highlighted your plight and distress, just to say , I know you will be wiser for it and you seem a confident lady, I hope it doesn't stop you doing anything you want to do in life... ps I think your great on telly .... had my own dramas on that front .... but I think easier as I am not in the public eye x
Just think, global violence against women could be solved by women keeping a stiff upper lip, keeping their mouths shut & advice from your 'old mum'...
What is happening to people,Leo who was on easyjet,who could ever have beleived he would end up doing something like that something changed over the years for him to do this....
I saw an interview the other day with the staff from the tv programme yes creepy Leo this guys info about him stalking was given out through the programme....he should locked away hes obviously a danger to women.....horrible little man 🤬
I’m currently binge watching ‘Airline’ and Leo has just come into it. I did watch it back in the day. I’m pretty sure he gave out some creepy vibes on that as well. I remember him trying to win his ex back by buying her lingerie.
you have PTSD due to all this stress and its something you will live with for the rest of your life but you can manage and control it but as you said its something that will always be there in the background, just try and find positive thjings to hang onto, i have had it for over 10 years after 30 years in the Army so i am begging you please go talk to a professional about it before it hits you to the extent that you just cannot function, keep well and happy
A diagnosis? Very good, now all you need is her to send you a consultation fee and you're on your way to being a part time amateur psychiatrist. I would imagine that someone who's been in the armed forces is likely to actually have PTSD, but not so much this lady, who was stalked for a while until it stopped.
@@fluxingtonI don't think there's any cure for PTSD sadly just temporary relief. There's a fella where I work ex para trooper in Iraq and afghan his head has completely gone always in another world hardly looks couscous at times.
If someone won’t take no for an answer after you’ve rejected them multiple times, that’s STALKING. It doesn’t matter how attractive/ unattractive the person is, it’s equally terrifying for anyone to be pursued so relentlessly.
Am not disputing what she's saying, but do WE really need to hear about this? If at all, have the conversation in private, 'off air'... To be quite honest, I'm more concerned about the clear interference from the W.E.F. et al, in UK politics (and of that, in other countries). GBN, should be much more vocal about 'that' (right across the board), not just leaving it to the likes of Neil Oliver and Mark Steyn, to highlight.
This topic definitely needs to be spoken about but I actually think it ties in very well with what the wef and globalists are doing. Ploughing on with their own agenda no matter what the other party thinks/wants is deeply disturbing whether it’s an individual doing it or an organisation.
This is a very important topic. People are stalked on a regular basis in this country and too many police forces do not take it seriously. It seriously affects peoples quality of life. It can end in a fatality if not taken seriously. Men and women can be stalkers.
@@vickyb6588 OK, so you've made some kind of link between the topic mentioned and what I said, BUT, have Stephen and Anne (for example), ever even talked about, let's say, Klaus Schwab, C.B.D.C., 'programmable money' and a 'social credit system'? If they have, I certainly haven't heard them do it... So, my point here being, on GBN's daytime output, I don't think they have made (or would make) that type of association, when dealing with matters such as stalking (obviously, due to them seemingly not addressing things like the W.E.F., etc), although if they did in some way, then yeah, it might be of some use.
@@timsmith1278 my point being that this type of behaviour being highlighted at all is a very good thing, it might make other people join the dots of what’s happening outside of their little bubbles. As you stated, at least GB news has some coverage of the wef issue which you will never see on ‘mainstream’ media for frankly now obvious reasons (bought and paid for).

@stuart. Oh, get over yourself and your self-pitying victimhood. You're twisting everything you can into 'misandry', when the only victim (in this case) is the woman. Stop exploiting the stories of real victims, just so you can claim to be eternally victimised instead.
He didn't just 'approach' her. He spent SIXTEEN MONTHS sending her letters, flowers, demands for contact, hanging around her workplace, etc. That was despite her making it perfectly clear from the VERY START, that she wasn't interested in his advances (and didn't want messages from him).
If you think that is just a normal 'approach', my man, you sadly need psychotherapy yourself. That is instead a disturbing obsession, and a clear indicator he has no respect for normal boundaries. You don't think most people would worry, after telling a person to leave them alone, to then get messages like: 'How long do I have to wait to see you? It's driving me insane.'?
You don't think it's worrying he wasn't getting the clear message, and apparently has delusions that a 'relationship' will happen anyway (regardless of her wishes)? It isn't worrying that he then escalated the forced contact, by following her around?
You think most people wouldn't then worry, just how far he's going to go, to get what he wants from her? If he's that hellbent on ignoring boundaries and forcing contact upon her (contact that was escalating), she would naturally worry he might escalate it to breaking into her home or worse. He's made it clear he's determined to have a sexual/romantic relationship with her (regardless of what she says). So what's he going to do next, to force his desires on her?
If you think this is how 'normal' men approach women, you seriously need professional help. Wake up from your self-focused slumber, and recognise cases in which women really ARE the victims (not the perpetrator).
@@sophiep7256 Well said Sophie. Stuart is obviously clueless about the definition of stalking and harassment.
@@emmal7920 as are you. It is not a capital crime, however the likes of you would love the men to be hung, drawn and disembowelled for it I'm sure.
@@Design_no I didn’t say it was a capital crime, but it is a crime under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 which includes stalking. The perpetrator got off lightly with a suspended sentence and men are stalked too.
I can't believe who the perpetrator was.
OMG Ellie! Absolutely heartbreaking to know you had to go through this.
Such a bright smile and professional manner on screen, I hope you get back to relaxing at some point. GB News - double her holiday allowance please, a nice trip to the sun beckons!
Well done for having the strength to help other women in your position, as a man it does make me ashamed, I guess it’s for the rest of us to try to be better people.
Good luck 👍🏼
Not interested tbh.
How the hell is that “brave””? She” didn’t “DO” anything. It was done by someone else, and she reacted. She could not stop it. She could not do anything about it. She had no choice to endure it, and no choice but to cope with it. She had panic attacks and broke down crying. When did the definition of “brave” change? She didn’t “bravely” enter a situation voluntarily -that’s bravery - making the choice to do something even though you know it is dangerous.
Wasn't it the guy from Easy jet the tv show who was culprit
Why would a gay guy stalk a woman
I think women are used to the fact, not to be taken seriously, to be seen hysteric, and to be seen to exaggerate and overreacting. Finally, to feel guilty, like: "if I had done this ...., or if I had reacted more early ... " and so on, simply conscious or subconscious blame them self, and feel ashamed, perhaps, that's why they don't want to tell anyone. This seems in our blood from early age. To explain such a situation to a male is almost impossible ( sorry if this sounds so general, but my experience in that way has never changed all my life, and I am quite old now.) I also find it so ignorant, to ask for "strength" on behalf of the woman, who is harassed. Thank you for coming out with this terrible story of what happened to you and that you don't try to hide your fear and anxiety.
First, BRAVO for Ellie for reporting it before it got worse. Sadly, it was Leo Jones from Airline, so cute so loveable, think he'd have a dozen lady chasers
I feel really sorry for you and I don’t believe that most Police forces, take this as seriously as they should. I hope you’re are getting the support to recover, that you need.
You are kidding right? Cops will visit you if you so much as say the wrong thing online nowadays.
@@Design_no I’m not kidding. They’ll do the easy thing of monitoring social media, but when it’s comes to investigating proper crime’s, out in the big, bad world, they’re found lacking. I’d call stalking, burglary, violence against the person or property, a bit more important, than addressing someone with the wrong pronouns on Twitter.
@@jhellnowh stalking is very difficult to prove and at the lower end of criminality, and not very common. Remember, there is no violence involved. That's the way it is. You wanna go lock every person up without good evidence? Sounds like a great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live in your world.
Not often as easy to prove as this case though unfortunately
I WOULD HAVE TO ASK YOU, 'WHERE WERE THE MEN IN YOUR LIFE?'
I LIVE IN CORNWALL & I KNOW OF ONE BOYFRIEND WHO WARNED ONE PERSISTENT MAN THAT IF HE DIDN'T STAY AWAY FROM HIS GIRLFRIEND, HE WOULD END UP DISAPPEARING DOWN A TIN MINE?
Men aren't men anymore
@@jennyj0007that's what society wanted.
I hate people who stalk people, and harass people. They don't realise, or care, about the damage they cause
I slays thought that Leo from Aitlines was a weirdo !!
I thought he was gay
I had a stalker. The police did nothing, I had to give up my job and move. When my dad found out he bullied me over it. The whole thing gave me mental problems.
This bloke should be named ,shamed identified (photoed,bugger his privacy) so everyone knows who he is and can keep a lookout as to where he is - too many dangerous people on the streets.
It's Leo Jones from the tv show Airline, he was one of the main staff they filmed. It's here on CZcams.
Was the guy stalking her Leo from airline?
No, this is all a lie.
Yes, it was Leo from Airline
Bless you Ellie, you were very brave - hope things are getting back to normal for you ❤fortunately legislation has moved on and there is a greater duty of care from the Police etc.
Many People think pretty blondes have it all!.. but I can tell you, looking nice and being nice gets you unwanted hassle from men and bitchy behaviour from other women.
Thanks for sharing. I went through hell.. I didn’t process it. 12 years on complex PTSD. So I can’t get out the house alone. Consequences I’m missing out on my newborn granddaughter down south and my 11 year old should be enjoying summer holidays. The ripple effects are horrendous and you then feel guilty yourself. My stalker is dead now. But very alive in my head. Everyday.
I'm sorry this vile man did this to you I hope you get the care and help u need
bizarrely saw something on the show he was in and it highlighted your plight and distress, just to say , I know you will be wiser for it and you seem a confident lady, I hope it doesn't stop you doing anything you want to do in life... ps I think your great on telly .... had my own dramas on that front .... but I think easier as I am not in the public eye x
Ellie Is Getting More Serious Stuff Going On Here
Ellie. Please stop with the lip fillers. You are beautiful naturally.
If a woman followed a tv person about, but didn't ACTUALLY do anything, they would be called fans or superfans.
Or PAs.
@@stephfoxwell4620 lol
No. Not if it was persistent and the woman had been told to stop. Men get stalked too.
Woman have been convicted of stalking. Both men and women can be stalkers.
@@davidmorris3981 sure, metto
I had a stalker, certainly didn’t start crying and take the person to court. As my old mum said, if they get too close just knee them in the nuts.
You're so brave.
Oh wow if only all women did that, none of them would or could ever be physically harmed by a man.
Just think, global violence against women could be solved by women keeping a stiff upper lip, keeping their mouths shut & advice from your 'old mum'...
@@apebass2215 is that sarcasm?
I remember this case. It's was the guy from the airline programme.
Who was the interviewee? Insert jokes below:
Dominic raab
@@David-oo1ik What about Anjem Choudry? If sharia had been implemented and she was wearing burqa there wouldn't be a problem?
Leo Jones from Easyjet
@@SirLangsalot Exactly!!!
What is happening to people,Leo who was on easyjet,who could ever have beleived he would end up doing something like that
something changed over the years for him to do this....
it was the guy from that easyjet airline show, right?
Leo
I knew thers was something up with him 😮
Poor lady. I’m sorry for the sick demented fucks there are out there who have no control of themselves.
I always thought he played for the other team
Its the fella from Airlines?
This is all a lie.
I saw an interview the other day with the staff from the tv programme yes creepy Leo this guys info about him stalking was given out through the programme....he should locked away hes obviously a danger to women.....horrible little man 🤬
I get stalked all the time; she follows me everywhere! I have got to the point where I have now told my wife to walk in front!
come fly with me come fly lets fly away
I’m currently binge watching ‘Airline’ and Leo has just come into it. I did watch it back in the day. I’m pretty sure he gave out some creepy vibes on that as well. I remember him trying to win his ex back by buying her lingerie.
Real shame he always seemed a nice guy. But harassment is wrong & this woman has suffered as a result
He is a nice guy, this is all a lie.
you have PTSD due to all this stress and its something you will live with for the rest of your life but you can manage and control it but as you said its something that will always be there in the background, just try and find positive thjings to hang onto, i have had it for over 10 years after 30 years in the Army so i am begging you please go talk to a professional about it before it hits you to the extent that you just cannot function, keep well and happy
A diagnosis? Very good, now all you need is her to send you a consultation fee and you're on your way to being a part time amateur psychiatrist. I would imagine that someone who's been in the armed forces is likely to actually have PTSD, but not so much this lady, who was stalked for a while until it stopped.
@@fluxingtonI don't think there's any cure for PTSD sadly just temporary relief. There's a fella where I work ex para trooper in Iraq and afghan his head has completely gone always in another world hardly looks couscous at times.
The person in question needs help he's unstable
Leo from Fly With Me (easyjet).
Narcissist
Terrifying
My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well, she's not exactly my girlfriend yet.
Cancel Their Flights, 😂 😂
Bizarre!
Hello Ellie....Whatttts uppppp?! .... I still know what you did last summer....
who was he ?
Leo from the tv series airline uk
If the female finds you attractive then it's flirting but if you're unattractive it's stalking
If someone won’t take no for an answer after you’ve rejected them multiple times, that’s STALKING. It doesn’t matter how attractive/ unattractive the person is, it’s equally terrifying for anyone to be pursued so relentlessly.
@@leightaylor960 And it's harassment
Am not disputing what she's saying, but do WE really need to hear about this? If at all, have the conversation in private, 'off air'... To be quite honest, I'm more concerned about the clear interference from the W.E.F. et al, in UK politics (and of that, in other countries). GBN, should be much more vocal about 'that' (right across the board), not just leaving it to the likes of Neil Oliver and Mark Steyn, to highlight.
This topic definitely needs to be spoken about but I actually think it ties in very well with what the wef and globalists are doing.
Ploughing on with their own agenda no matter what the other party thinks/wants is deeply disturbing whether it’s an individual doing it or an organisation.
@@vickyb6588 Good comparison
This is a very important topic. People are stalked on a regular basis in this country and too many police forces do not take it seriously. It seriously affects peoples quality of life. It can end in a fatality if not taken seriously. Men and women can be stalkers.
@@vickyb6588 OK, so you've made some kind of link between the topic mentioned and what I said, BUT, have Stephen and Anne (for example), ever even talked about, let's say, Klaus Schwab, C.B.D.C., 'programmable money' and a 'social credit system'? If they have, I certainly haven't heard them do it... So, my point here being, on GBN's daytime output, I don't think they have made (or would make) that type of association, when dealing with matters such as stalking (obviously, due to them seemingly not addressing things like the W.E.F., etc), although if they did in some way, then yeah, it might be of some use.
@@timsmith1278 my point being that this type of behaviour being highlighted at all is a very good thing, it might make other people join the dots of what’s happening outside of their little bubbles.
As you stated, at least GB news has some coverage of the wef issue which you will never see on ‘mainstream’ media for frankly now obvious reasons (bought and paid for).
Who was the guest...matt Hancock.. lol
