Very quietly, it seems, Glenn Beck has come to the UK. Or at least his show has started broadcasting here on Fox News on Sky.

And for the last three days it has run without any advertising, thanks to a cross-Atlantic effort to keep up a boycott of the presenter.

The US based campaign ‘Stop Beck’ reports:

Glenn Beck’s show in the United Kingdom has not run any commercials during the past three days (Tues-Thurs). Glenn Beck’s show in the UK used to run commercials. The shows that come on before and after Glenn Beck still run commercials. But, for the past three days, Mr. Beck hasn’t had any sponsors in the U.K. During the commercial break, instead of running ads, they cut away to Sky News updates or the weather. Perhaps they’re having trouble finding sponsors willing to subsidize Glenn Beck’s misinformation, vitriol, sexism and race-baiting?

That is very likely to be the case.

The US campaign group has just confirmed three more advertisers that have dropped Glenn Beck, taking the total to 102 advertisers.

The British arm of the campaign launched recently and has been tracking advertisers on the show.

It confirmed that advertisers on the show are slowly petering out. Past sponsors include Calvin Klein, Simply Health, Land Rover, McDonald’s and Nintendo.

You can follow the UK arm of Stop Glenn Beck via their website or on Twitter.

Glenn Beck first came to infamy by asking the first US Muslim congressman to prove he was not a terrorist.

He has since acquired a long history of spouting mad paranoia and misogyny.
