Re: Gb News
Must admit to watching GB news now instead of sky, BBC etc. The editorial content on GB news seems to lean heavily towards exposing WOKE stupidity, which is a breath of fresh air compared to the other news channels where they appear frightened .to express any opinion on subjects dear to the WOKE brigade.
As for Andrew o Neil, I used to enjoy his late night show on BBC along with his co hosts portillo, ashworth etc.

Nowewis, you forgot Crossroads, wooden actors, wobbly sets.
Mum used to watch, story never changed on the voyages I was away.
Another old one was Blakes Seven, you could see the string the rocket moved along.

Quite some time ago Marian informed me that Andrew Neil had a hair transplant. She didn't say where on his body the hair came from to transplant onto his head.

Re: Gb News
When such programs as Esmerlda Farm began they were fair, but over time becomes a bit stupid in the story line.
There have been over the years some great progs from BBC and yes the comedies are still available today, watched a bit of Dave Allan last night, great humor without any profanities.
But the WOKE and JOKE persons are killing any chance of good progs relating to real love.
Some are so politically correct you find them hard to understand and follow.

Re: Gb News
The new channel must be doing something right as the campaigners stop Funding Hate has managed to persuade 7 companies to stop advertising on the new station.
Ikea
GROLSCH
THE open University
Nivea
Kopparberg
Pinterest.
Obviously these companies not interested in free speech, we'll they are off my shopping list.

#18.... Well I still carry on in more or less in the old manner. Will open a door for a female , stand up to offer my seat in a bus or train etc. etc. With the following conditions she looks over 50 and has no visible tattoos, otherwise watch the swinging door doesnt hit you in the face and enjoy your standing journey.

Re: Gb News
It's not free speech Lewis, it's thought control by a minority movement.
The latest a mother cannot breest feed its chest feed, if you speak up, your are in the wrong.
If the new channel challenges the woke ideology then I am all for it.
Let's face it the Stasi would be proud of the woke society, they are achieving what they failed to do.
