For many years we have been told not to believe anything that the Express, Mail, Sun, prints.
So why should we believe this: because it suits your wishful thinking.

Today's update on GB News viewing figures from The Express.

Since it started in June it's average viewer count has dropped by 20,000 a day. On August 12th it's viewership was 17,000.

Nigel Farage once said "I just say it as I see it, behave as I do. If people don't like it, they can take a running jump."

Well it seems as though they have done just that.

Katie Hopkins next, I imagine. What a bunch of (choose your own word, don't want to be expelled from GN).

oh my .. the blessed Arlene is joining the crew. Wow!

Well at least it gets Farage off the BBC. the amount of airspace he was given by the Beeb before Brexit was ridiculous. I don't know how the BBC gets accused of being left leaning i have never seen it and after all they gave Andrew Neal his own programmes for years.

Figures soared as 100,000 tuned in to watch Nigel Farage on Monday night.

Sorry if I misrepresented merylstreep I googled the GB news as I have no desire to watch it and that’s what it said about Laurence Fox obviously I should have read further but it did sound about right for him
And I certainly didn’t call him a star presenter that’s what the article said I ll have to try and find it
Morrelandmooner* why so we get called this ridiculous name of woke if we have a heart and care about kindness

I totally agree that conscience and kindness are the best qualities, they should inform what we do and say.
I just don’t believe that any political persuasion holds the monopoly on them.

Nothing at all really Elliane. But I have noticed a tendency for people who are running out of ideas for taking part in a discussion to metaphorically shrug their shoulders and flounce off saying they have better things to do, implying that the other "side" of the argument is not worth bothering about.

Ok thanks

PS not that anyone would even notice or miss me!b

I'm not entering the politics argument, but just asking, what is wrong with,
then disappearing off saying you have lots of better things to do?
I think I am being courteous when I bow out of a thread saying I have to exercise the dog or pick up the GCs. Otherwise doesn't it look rude or miffy to suddenly cease contributing to a thread?

Well, you all seem to watch an awful lot of daytime telly.

???

Nobody on the Katie Hopkins thread could be more insulting about to this woman than Alex Phillips ( on GB News) has been.
Simon McCoy had to shut her up before it got libellous.
Shame most of you missed it. It was brilliant ?

Please can we stop labelling people. It really doesn't help us understand anything about other's views.

I think if you met me you would find me an alright sort of woman. I try my best to be kind. I'm a bit fat. I swim in the sea every day. I grow my own veg. I cry at Carly Simon songs cos they reminds me of my mum. I'm just me - a human.

On paper I'm a leftist, woke, virtue signalling remoaner.

But my dog likes me, I give money to charity and I'm not all bad. I have stuff to say and like to listen too.

If we judge each other by labels we will never get to know each other.

It was for balance Aveline, you know that's what posters on here are so keen on

Oh Alegrias is that you being 'right thinking'? .
(I really detest the phrase right thinking. It really only means 'thinking the way the person saying it means.')

The lovely funny Simon McCoy ripping the government apart at the moment. U turns.

Laurence Fox has never been a presenter on GB news let alone a *star presenter*

That doesn’t stop posters from thinking so though Meryl?

I saw this on Twitter and smiled ruefully. Suspect it'll be deleted though.

The right wing guide to online debate:

•State your opinion as if it were the incontrovertible truth.
•If someone disagrees, call them a leftist.
•If they still disagree, call them woke.
•If they still disagree, complain that your freedom of speech is being attacked, say that you expect to be deleted and then disappear off saying you have lots of better things to do.

There, fixed it for you.

Aveline ...that all sounds familiar ?

Absolutely !

So very interesting that “right thinking” means “left leaning”, and is often accompanied by a desire to shut down debate. Virtue signalling, being “woke” and the whole shebang of issues that are constantly being rehashed on the Beeb is all very well- I would far rather you signalled virtue than hate- but if you can’t bear to listen to ( and challenge, like a grown up) views that are not your own, you are no better than those you shut down. Try stepping away from dogma, and do your own thinking.
