Boris Johnson is to become a presenter on GB News.

Did I dream it or was there this exact thread a few months ago?🤔

It could have been about Boris writing for the Daily Mail, Oreo

Probably word for word though!

A whole thread about BJ as a presenter. Well it’s certainly got the chattering classes going. I don’t think any other presenters have managed that!

My thoughts exactly 😆
I imagine them all tuning in to GB when Boris is on, just to spit out an email sharing their disgust - viewing figures will rise based on that demographic alone 🤣🤣

Do you honestly think that some of us will subject ourselves to listening to the verbal diahorrea that spews out of his mouth just so we can then talk about it on social media?

yes grin you are on here commenting so........

However, there are two more 'personages' who I shall only name as M and H who are guaranteed to garner far more pages of comments than Mr Johnson junior will ever manage.

I don't know which class of chatterers the posters are from, but they leave the rest of them streets behind.

All a matter of opinion ain’t it?🤔

A dream or a nightmare, I bet GN will be talking about GBNews more from now on, as will the rest of the country.

The nightmare for me would be if they focused too much on Boris, to the detriment of the other more 'independently minded' presenters.
I like the differing views on offer at GB

Terrible, terrible GB news I don’t know why anybody would watch them!! 😳
They have opened a page where you can donate to the Royal British Legion and they have raised £104,000 (in 24hours!)so far, what a terrible shower of people they are!🤨😁
Love Carol Malone and Christine Hamilton as well
among my favourite presenters. Can’t wait for Boris to join!! 😂
Patrick Christie is fronting the appeal, if any of you would like to donate…

I prefer proper news read by proper newsreaders and serious journalists, not celebrities sitting on a couch.

I was reading yesterday that Alastair Stewart, veteran news reader and lately presenter on GB News has said they have been really supportive since he was diagnosed with vascular dementia.

“As my employers they have kept me on the books with a contributor contract, which has just been renewed. I feel blessed to be at a company that sees the value I can bring, regardless of my condition, and that is willing to make reasonable adjustments to enable me to carry on working. I hope to continue to repay this kindness, trust and loyalty in the coming months; if I wasn’t up to it, I wouldn’t be put on air and rightly so. But I am, so I am”.

That was in Saga magazine.

Give us a few names then of those you admire.

I wouldn’t say I particularly admire anyone but I do like proper professional newsreaders and journalists. For instance Clive Myrie rather than Eamonn Holmes, Rita Chakrabati rather than Christine Hamilton - and a proper news studio with a desk rather than a mock-up of a living room with a couch.

Each to their own GSM.I think that dreadful GB news have now raised £138,000 😁..

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 31-Oct-23 17:39:07

I hope we all contribute when we buy our poppies.

Won't he be rather tied up giving evidence to the Covid inquiry?

Oh, Clive Myrie, the professional, impartial presenter 😉

I might be wrong, but I don’t see Sky or the venerated BBC doing anything of this ilk..🤷‍♀️
