NIGEL FARAGE ON GB NEWS - WTF???

Oh the irony, telling somebody to oh please just stop then talking about freedom of speech.
Make your mind up.

YANBU OP. Farage is a trouble maker I wish he'd fuck off to Australia as soon as possible so we can all vote him for every trial on I'm a celeb.
Amazing what passes for a celeb these days.

'The right' love to moan about how 'the Left' control the media when in fact they have all of the papers bar 2 and now 2 tv channels entirely devoted to spreading absolute Nationalist bollox.

Add to that the fact that MPs aren't allowed to report on news channels but when asked to look into Farage (and now even Boris!) Ofcom insist GB News isn't a news channel, even though it has news in the title and won a news channel award and, well, it's a feckin' enormously sad state of affairs all round, really!

It's a channel for racist morons.

This. See also Brexit.

@CharingX976 agreed. But there is also a problem with people holding illiberal and xenophobic views around people who don't agree with the gradual chipping away at our freedoms to protest. And there is a problem with people who equate criticism of Israel's government with antisemitism.

Yes @CharingX976 all your posts are true.

There IS a problem of people holding illiberal, anti-Semitic values in the UK, and this comes in part from the left-wing middle classes and from the more extreme ends of Islamism.

There has been a lot of research into anti-Semitism within certain factions of the Muslim community. If it's ok to talk about, for example, the problem of how gay people have been treated by the Church, it needs to also be ok to talk about how Jewish people are perceived by Muslims. It is a problem and we aren't doing anyone any favours by not talking about it and confronting it. (YES this is a highly nuanced issue, not involving all Muslims, obviously).

You're offended on behalf of people with views who SHOULD be called out. If some of these people have imported their views from countries where Jews are more overtly discriminated against, that does not mean we shouldn't confront it.

Some posters from today's protest.

Have you gone down the rabbit hole op ?

What about the BBC? Are you aware that the BBC has been getting its casualty figures from Gaza's Hamas-run health service, which doesn't even distinguish between civilian and military casualties? It depends on your measuring stick, but the BBC certainly isn't a source of reliable, balanced news.

I find it distinctly unamusing and worrying when people believe that GB News is a news channel.

I do find it amusing when extreme left-wingers are suddenly exposed to something that makes them realise not everyone thinks like them, their echo chamber implodes, and this is their reaction... they just can't cope with people having different worldviews. The only way they can rationalise is to brand it with vague labels like "far right" and "xenophobic", reassuring themselves that they're the good, enlightened ones.

No he isn't!

Farage is actually a fantastic interviewer. One of the best I've seen.

@Coveescapee the issue here is that TR and his mates had no need to be near the Cenotaph. The pro Palestine march route wasn't scheduled to go near it, so what were they doing there but stirring up trouble? Who were they protecting it from, the people paying homage?

GB News is not a news channel. Its a RW opinion channel where sex offenders, Climate change deniers and Tory MPs are paid to tell us what they think.

It's not all bad though. It has some gems. I love the face Josh Howie does when he speaks the channel's view but doesn't believe a word of it. I'm really enjoying The Dinosaur Hour too.

But mostly it's nasty and hate mongering. What it isn't is a news channel.

Honestly I keep seeing this. Braverman said that there is two tier policing where they only arrest people they're not afraid of such as women silently praying or protesting the murder of Sarah Everard but leave the ones they are afraid of sick as those shouting for jihad alone. I saw many commentators yesterday predicting that the police would arrest alot more of the TR crowd than the pro Palestinians because of this. And that had happened so Braverman et al proved right. So why would it "boil their piss" exactly?

My mum spouts their drivel at me every week and tells me I have my head in the sand because I don't watch the 'real' news and GB news 'tells it how it is'. Argggg.

"Fuck The Pigs! Fuck The Pigs!"

Fireworks that did manage to get through are fired at the police.

So peaceful.

agreed

The disenfranchised are the racist twats target audience. They don't attract people getting on in life.

I mean, these people objecting to their big box of fireworks - wonder what they wanted them for? Can't be for firing at policeman like they did last week - certainly look like they're being arrested 🤔

Also of those "Right Wingers" arrested, 82 were preventative arrests to get them out of the area and have no been released with no charge.

Then there's this poor guy who was attacked by peaceful protesters for simply silently holding up a sign.

Having said the above, I do like Neil Oliver. What he is doing on that channel is a mystery. He needs to go from GBeebies if he wants to be taken seriously again.
