What difference does that make, however many times you feel the need to tell me? I am aware 
But it doesn’t change my opinion that GBNews is a right wing propaganda channel for Tories, Brexiters and the Reform and Reclaim party types, and that it shouldn’t be allowed 
Or that anyone appearing on it purporting to be Left wing or Labour isn’t a hypocritical, self-serving sell out 
Why shouldn’t it be allowed we are still a free country aren’t we ?
That is why you are allowed your opinion .
As Rose says its does have a selection of people from various sides of the political spectrum .
You’re quite right Maree, that is just your opinion…Free speech in the UK means all political parties, providing they stay inside the law, can voice their opinions. Even those you disagree with.
It shouldn’t be allowed because the broadcasting code in the U.K. requires that news channels show due impartiality politically to prevent biased news channels like FOX
GBNews is our version of Fox
The BBC, channel 4, and any other ‘woke’ broadcaster of which there are a few.
I don’t think Fox news comes under our jurisdiction Maree…
You must be joking the BBC a must be the most biased news channel .
It has made itsself a laughing stock
Then make your complaints about examples, as people do about GBNews
I don’t think the BBC is biased or a laughing stock, it’s something to be very proud of in our country
Those who complain it’s biased are often just miffed because it’s impartial and not biased in the direction of their own political opinions and doesn’t confirm their own prejudices
They want an echo chamber, populist channel that will suck up and tell them how right they are about everything and that anyone who disagrees is stupid……
So they flock to GBNews 
I do make complaints to the BBC because after all I am PAYING for it .
I don’t pay forGB news and it is far more impartial .
So everyone who disagrees with the BBC is stupid
That is a pretty stupid remark in itself .
Surely every news channel shows bias to some degree.
It’s impossible not to . Don’t think it’s worth arguing over.
I prefer the news and current affairs on R4 I don’t care if that makes me woke …. It’s a stupid word anyway.
Can you quote where I made the remark saying everyone who disagrees with the BBC is stupid?
Because I don’t think I said that and you’re putting words in my mouth
I don’t agree at all that GBNew is more impartial than the BBC and think that they are flagrantly and deliberately biased and shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it
Also, I don’t think we are only allowed to complain about things we pay for? Just because something is free to us, should it be allowed to persist in wrong doing?
And anyway, all of us will pay in the long run for allowing a channel like GBNews to continue, if not with money then with the damage done to our society and the integrity of our news broadcasting
‘Woke’ refers to a particular type of person or group who occupy the high moral ground…
Or Woke This word is often used in a disapproving way by people who think that some other people are too easily upset about these issues, or talk too much about them in a way that does not change anything.
I do ,
I may complain also about things I don’t pay for too but I resent having an agenda shoved down my throat by the BBC to whom I pay a licence fee.
It doesn’t mean either of those things. The Rabid Right, deliberately or out of ignorance, have hijacked it and tried to make it into something disparaging, belittling and abusive
It actually means having being aware of systemic injustices and prejudices, especially those involving the treatment of ethnic, racial, or sexual minorities and trying to combat them
I’m proud to be woke and think anyone who doesn’t try to be woke should be ashamed of themselves
Are you sure what you resent isn’t them not shoving your own personal agenda down other people’s throats because you think that’s what your money should pay them to do?
That’s more like it .
Although it has now been hijacked and used in a less complimentary way .
its commonly used by those who can’t justify what they are taking about … so they pull the woke flag is if that justifies anything.
Doesn’t mean we have to get them get away with hi jacking it or accept their definition
The Rabid Right like to try to belittle with playground insults. Water off a duck’s back, it just shows their ignorance and pond life mentality
Yes I am sure I want an unbiased impartial BBC .
I may not agree with it but it must be impartial .
And it is not .
Well, we can agree then on both wanting an impartial BBC
But I think for the most part it is impartial and kudos to them for not bowing to populist, right -wing pressure
It’s not perfect but 100 times better than allowing something like GBNews with it open and flagrant bias
I see even John Cleese, who will work for GB news, is disappointed with them employing Johnson
“I can hardly believe that GB News will give this proven serial liar his own programme,”
Says it all really
