New Alternative News Channel "GB News" chaired by Andrew Neil launching - read OP before posting

The Lib Dems are not left. Theya re not called Tory Light for nothing

how many of those 342 are people doing the same thing as you?

You can see why it's so critical for them to class anyone who is vaguely "woke" or liberal as a leftie, because it then grants license to judge them on political grounds rather than the reality of people - including even some on the right- just simply caring and showing empathy for minorities and those less fortunate than them. It's why these right/left/far left labels have so much signifance and how they can be used to frame political debates in a way that suits certain people.

It's quite disturbing the sheer level of posting coming from him. Everything an attempt to land some sort of blow in a discussion where there's no victory to achieve. Every disingenuous post is some kind of attempt to "win" and they're not even on the same battlefield. So much so, that when there's bugger all to talk about regarding GB News he has to spend pages on rabbit holes that are complete cul-de-sacs. I've said it before, it's downright creepy.

But the best one can say about all of his gibberish is at least it's not as completely redundant as the drive by shitposting from a few others on here that only chime in to rattle off some kind of inanity about "annoying lefties" and "TDS". For GB News to be annoying to lefties or anyone else it would, at least, have to be some what competent. However at the moment it is, at best, a disastrous parody that's only worthy as a vehicle for laughter and that's when it's not being a thoroughly pitiful exercise.

Aww poor bullied little GBNews.

Trust me we are laughing at it. I was worried at first that some moderate people I know would switch from Sky to this and I would have to spend ages arguing inane topics about "woke this or that" but it hasn't happened.

The moderate right "silent majority" as ye like to call it is fine as is and has completely ignored the great rallying cry and has gone totally unnoticed outside of some political internet forums.

This is nothing like Trump or Fox who are scary because they had/have power. This is just funny and when I am not skiving off work on Boards I forget GBnews exists

If there is nothing wrong with your post you won't get banned so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

I have probably had a ton of reports I'll never even know about

An innocuous post wont get anyone banned from anywhere.

If someone posts something that gets them banned AND in response they somehow decide its the fault of someone else they are banned, you can be damn sure people will be laughing.

That line of thought has always been hilarious.

The idea of GB News as a threat did give me a bit of a timely chuckle as the rain came chucking time. Was it poor Douglas Hurd of whom it was once said it was like being "savaged by a dead sheep". Anyway, that is what came instantly to mind.

But you don't debate honestly

You wrongly labeled me a racist then whinged about people using labels.

You then went off on a two day tangent insinuating Rashford had somehow done something wrong based on a Spectator article that was never published and you have never read.

You then said you based your decision on his tweets about said article, when shown the tweets and asked what you find "wrong" about them you just motored on and didn't reply.

You are the epitomy of a bad faith poster.

the only person who can you banned is you.

I honestly didn't think my opinion had such power.

i would be quite happy if it fails. The negativity and hatred it stands for is something that the world can do without. Andrew Neil must have lost his mind when he agreed to be in involved. He has thrown away a hard earned reputation and ends up being associated with Farage who he dislikes intensely.

I would say it about any news station that is clearly set up with intentions other than reporting news. Now I know a lot of media lean this way or that a little but this kind of flagrant Americanised BS deserves to be laughed at

I'd love it to fail frankly because I know the result is you'll move on to the next chaos topic and my prophecy will be fulfilled.

No need for me to hide. It's a doomed enterprise from the start, as you already stated yourself it's only existence is to wind people up. You can't make a business out of that . Unless of course you are relying on really preying on innocent idiots and well trump has that locked up.
