GB News how can anyone take a station that considers Nigel Farage to be vital for its survival seriously. It loses and replaces presenters on a monthly basis. It is trying to be the U.K.’s Fox News pandering to the right wing or in the USA Donald Trump and his conspiracy theory supporters which includes Farage.
It is not surprising its appeal is limited and I hope you actually receive real news and not just a bunch of obsessives bemoaning the fact that we are no longer Great or an Empire. The world has moved on but unfortunately the likes of GB news and Jacob Rees Mogg have been left far behind.
This is just my opinion but the few I know who actually watch it sadly fit into the blame everyone else rather than looking at the problems closer to home.

Few points, Farage has proved to be a far more interesting and entertaining presenter than politician so clearly, you’ve never watched it and thus you are doing what you always do, spouting with zero knowledge.

You call it bemoaning others call it the truth or an alternative voice, but I doubt you’ll ever get that so self-assured are you that you know best.

Real news, from where, the BBC, now you really are being ridiculous.

You believe people who watch an alternative news source are ‘sad’. This shows your arrogance and utter contempt for others and is so typical of your type and in all honesty that’s why I tend not to like you or at least you on here. I just detest your totally unearned and unjustified sense of superiority and adding in ‘my opinion’ doesn’t hide it. Opinions are fine, I have millions of them but I don't assume the millions who will disagree with them as sad or stupid.

Yours and sadly the default setting of so many others seems to be that if someone thinks differently they are an idiot rather than someone with an alternative viewpoint who to be branded as something derogatory. I disagree with Redscat on an almost fundamental level but I don’t consider her??? to be an idiot or in any way sad. Hell I can even accept she/he may be right and I may be wrong on some issues, that is the mindset of a true libertarian and real democrat.

On a personal note, I do think the Great in Great Britain is justified.

I’ll tell you what I’ll pay your airfare to Russia or better still Syria and we will see how you go. I give it two weeks before you’re crying like a baby begging to come home. The shame is we are such a decent nation we’d let you back in, I wouldn’t.

If the UK is so bad why don’t you and your fellow moaners just do one and leave? Show some backbone for once and put your money where your mouth is. It’s a free country so nobody will stop you

*As a pedant, I feel the urge to point out that the 'Great' in Great Britain has only to do with its size in relation to the other British Isles rather than its superiority, e.g. all creatures great and small.

Correct and shouldn't we be talking about the United Kingdom - or has Northern Ireland just been conveniently forgotten?

Anyway Merry Christmas to all - I'm off to Aberdeen for Christmas in what is rapidly becoming a different nation!

HER????, HER????. How very dare you, vasty!!!! Or should that be Gladys!!!!

Re: Channel 4 : Thu Dec 23, 2021 10:05 am  

You are so sanctimonious if you read my post you will see I am the one who is sad that people like you believe what GB News stand for.
We all know you have a million opinions because you post most of them on here regardless of the topic.
With regards Farage and the truth I think his record speaks for itself much like de Pfeffel. I believe they are intending to do an outside broadcast with Farage sat on a Union flag draped throne at the water’s edge like King Canute but rather than trying to stop the tide he would hope it works on those trying to reach the U.K..
I see you resort to the fact that the word of Vastman can never be questioned and anyone that does should leave the country. I would point out that if you are suggesting Syria this is not a communist country, because it is being backed by Russia does not change this fact. I could say to you if you don’t like debate then why don’t you go to Brazil whose current ruler is more to to your liking.
One final point if you think we are a major player on the world stage then you are in for quite a shock.

Let's not do the "why don't you go to... Russia, Brazil thing'
It's pointless. It doesn't prove Great Britain or UK is great or not great.
There are individual things in other countries that are better than us and some that have atrocities beyond belief.
