The Labour Party certainly has divisions,

Yes but it doesn’t as far as I am aware actively promote division in wider society.

Hate and division is already here with or without GBNews.

Absolutely right, but what I don’t want is to know that there is a broadcasting company actively supporting division and hate.

I almost wish I had a t.v. set so I could see how dreadful this programme is alleged to be.

Chewbacca when did you decide to go without a tv set and why if you don't mind me asking?
We got rid of ours when we forgot we were watching the world cup final in 2014 and went out for a walk wondering why it was quiet and the other programmes through the week were dire - beat the bailiff. But people think we are weird.

I think you could be right. Having said that: the glitches are now becoming a joke.

I am not optimistic, little ray of sunshine that I am. If it fails I think it will fail because it production is just really bad. I am comfortable in having different views available, that dont always align with mine.

Galaxy, I don't want GBNews shut down. But I'd be very happy to see it sink- as it would indicate that the majority of the population does not support their views.

That’s exactly what I think. The more people reject its philosophic stance the more optimistic I am that hate and division will not win.

I haven't watched it so I don't know what views they are propounding.

Should I watch before it disappears into the sunset?

Farage must be the only rat joining a sinking ship.

I don't like black pudding. I've never tried it, but I've spoken to others who have, and they said it's not very nice so I'm not going to try it and I hope all black pudding shops get closed down.

Tastes good with laver bread.

Black pudding is just about tolerable
Laver bread is vile stuff and should be banned.
Even if it is good for you.

Oh dear, I should have said it's not to my taste so I avoid it.

Is this allegorical?

It's better than saying:
Of course I’m going to be interested in it’s demise, as imo should all right thinking people.

Just avoid what you dislike.

Galaxy Sat 17-Jul-21 22:59:18

Its pathetic to want GBNews shut down, its equally pathetic to not be able to tolerate a presenter taking the knee. I cant even begin to describe how depressing this all is.

They booted him out as their audience switched off in protest that it didn’t meet the channels anti woke stance.

muffinthemoo Sat 17-Jul-21 21:16:10

I wonder if Farage will present whilst wearing those tiny shorts that exposed his undercarriage.

MoorlandMooner Sat 17-Jul-21 21:10:11

"I think what I really detest about leftist views most though is that holier than thou utter belief that anything they don’t agree with should be immediately booted out....that nobody should hear or see it."

Did the right wing TV channel GB News not just 'boot out' a man for taking the knee?

A detestable trait which is obviously not exclusively a leftist failing.

Chewbacca Sat 17-Jul-21 19:51:32

Now I do love laver bread Dinahmo. Only get it when I go back home though.

It's a bit of a leap from deciding you're not going to try it to hoping all "black pudding shops" get closed down

I agree Bodach but it seems to be the way of the world at the minute: don't like, don't agree with it: ban it! Shut it down!

NotSpaghetti Sat 17-Jul-21 19:22:58

Did you ever find a video link please Meryl (as I couldn't find one)?
