pablo Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 GB News won't work here because there's no need for it. Britain even by European standards is an incredibly liberal country, accepting of minorities, sexually, racially and pro-imigration etc. It's nothing like the US where right wing conservatism is deep rooted in the church either. In my opinion, there's just not a market for it on the scale it would need to flourish. We'll see I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beni Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Guto Harrri has been suspended for taking the knee. The director of programs has resigned after refusing to focus more on culture war issues. Presenter (and man of the people apparently) Alastair Stewart will be off for an extended period after breaking his hip while exercising his horse. Several day time programs have registered zero viewers. Apart from that it's been a good week at Gbeebies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 It's fine that people have different views. Healthy even. But I really think GB News just reflects an error by the 'culture warriors'. The culture war is being won decisively. The strong support for the black English footballers this week demonstrates that. And not just in the UK.

Farage gets a weekday slot at 7pm and he 'won't be taking the knee' To be fair, Andrew Neil wouldn't have been taking the knee either ..... due to the size of his stomach. 😀 So we now have the perfect irony at GBnews. A guy with a French surname who can't get himself elected but was on the same anti-EU side as Boris in the EU referendum & withdrawal debacle is now a colleague of a guy who dislikes Boris and is now a permanent resident in the EU while being the chairman of a flag-waving TV news channel outside the EU. It rivals Line of Duty for plot twists. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Thor Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I read that it looks like Andrew Neil, the guy who started GBeebies, won't be back after his 2 week holiday which started in June.

Jambo_Gaz Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 It's got better but some of the news stories actually go on too long and some of the guests are a bit of an interesting choice for debates.

I suppose you could identify massive loss in viewers foe any channel at specific times of the day. Perhaps their viewers are all working.
