NIGEL FARAGE ON GB NEWS - WTF???

OP, he isn't your type, we get that, but we cannot deny his freedom of speech!

Thanks to @cariadlet recommendation on this thread I have watched two episodes of Andrew Doyle's Free Speech Nation. It is excellent. On Sundays episode Andrew pointed out he is not right wing and has never voted Tory.

Horrible people- but anyone who watches GB News should expect to get RW propaganda. Best solution is just not to watch it- saves your sanity and blood pressure, and if few people watch it, it will fade into obscurity.

He could be the next Tory leader. Prime minister in 2028. Unless a red back spider gets him.

Therein lies the excitement I suppose. But I've never watched it tbh

@Mummysgogetter it is not illegal to come here by small boat. No matter what our government says. International law is very clear that refugees are not under any obligation to seek asylum in the first safe country they reach.

These people do not become illegal until the asylum process has been worked through and their claim turned down. If they do not leave at that point, they are illegal immigrants. When they step off their boats, they are not.

I agree with this to a point but these are LEGAL immigrants. They come over here through the proper channels. They’ve paid the proper taxes, have a NI number etc. and we can ensure our services can cater for those but not 100s of 1000s of illegal immigrants - how can any infrastructure deal with that?

EDIT quoted the wrong person - meant to quote the person that said we need these immigrants for our buses, care homes, hospitals etc.

Tbf it was up 2 million last year

The 2022 launch show was watched by an average of 9.1 million, with that season featuring a cast including Jill Scott, Owen Warner and Matt Hancock. That year's premiere was also up around 2 million from the 2021 season

I was pleased to see this. All this talk about voting with your remote has been taken seriously, finally thank fuck.
The ratings will probably pick up, but the launch show loss of ratings tells you a lot.

I'm assuming that also goes for their army of left wing commentators?

Seems I'm not alone in not wanting to watch Putin superfan and nasty racist NF.

I'm A Celebrity 2023: TV viewing figures fall by two million for opening show - BBC News

Well said Dot, 100% agree. But there is a lot of people intolerant of other views and I've seen folk wanting it shut down - this was a few months ago, think it the Laurence Fox debacle.

I don't particularly like Jeremy Corbyn, but if he had a show I'd take a look as I still like to hear other views because it keeps you balanced. Same with Tony Blair because I'm interested in his opinion on certain matters, not that I would necessarily agree - but maybe I would if he put across a great debate.

Same with Farage, Mogg...dare I say it...BJ. It does me good to watch lots of views, channels, read different papers. Long may it reign.

Well this thread is all a bit chilling isn’t it… what do we want? Compelled thought and opinion! When do we want it? Now!

GB news is right wing

that I’m not bothered about those that tune in have those views or want to sit there feeling angry about the presenters views

being on I am a celebrity is a different matter playing the I speak for the ordinary man and woman card,
soon he will get back on national political shows edging his way into the Tory party haven’t lessons been learnt 🤬🙄

GB News is just a retirement home for right wing loons who can't get work anywhere else.

4 sitting Tory MPs from the RW of the party have their own shows.
The leader of the RW Reform UK has his own show.
Nigel Farage has his own show.
Practically all other presenters are vocal about being RW.

It's no more biased than the others
WTAF?🤯 It's an unashamedly RW views channel. It is extremely biased and it is not a News channel.

So you think life in the UK is unaffected by misinformation and racism on tv?

Nope. Even on Sky there is some attempt at balance and objectivity. GBN is a straight up propaganda outlet. When I watched there was a constant barrage of adverts proclaiming : Nigel Farage is on your side! Quite bizarre.

I mean you don't get lectured on how great Kay Burkey or Kirsty Wark are. Thank god. Their job is to present the bloody news , not make it up.

GB News is not news.

It's not a news channel.

It's whole ethos is to deceive the gullible.

That is true. Best to recognise bias of any outlet

I watch GB news from time to time for about ten minutes. It's an alternative perspective on the news. All news presenters are biased, every outlet and every individual has an angle they are pushing - even if it's not overt, there is a reason why topics are covered or not, or what order they are covered in. People notice GB News because it's not left or centre-left like the BBC, ITN, Sky etc. It's no more biased than the others, it's just biased to the right instead of left.

When Farage is home from the jungle I suspect he’ll secure a job for Braverman with the rest of the right wing has beens on GB news.

I had the misfortune to watch a bit of GBH News last time I was in the UK. Farage who has done such harm to Britain despite never being elected. And even being beaten by a man in a dolphin costume on one occasion.

Then Arlene Foster who seemed to think Brexit would wreck the Good Friday Agreement and take Northern Ireland back to a one party state with her lot in charge.

A bit like Fox News , where a plethora of shroud waving lunatics interview each other. One of my English relations had it on 24/7. Though I noticed he rarely watched it. More of a comfort blanket?

I'm disgusted to see Farage on a news show. Although unsurprisingly to see him on that particular show, seeing that it is an advert for the right. And frankly I was not happy on Monday when the BBC seemed to think the people to ask about the reshuffle were Nadine Dorries and Suella Braverman-one sacked and both disgraced.

Regarding vote leave - a couple of black friends voted leave for various reasons (quite a few people of colour did). They were mortified to realise they shared the vote with racists. Even more mortified to witness that leaving the EU has been of no benefit whatsoever and that the vote saw the unleashing of unprecedented racism in this country.
