^Hitler was not an Arian ^
Did you mean Hitler was not Aryan ?
(He was born on the cusp of Taurus and Aries - in case there is any confusion about your use of the words “an Arian”)

From BBC Bitesize

^Hitler and the Nazis had firm views on race. They believed that certain groups were inferior and were a threat to the purity of the Aryan race. There were many groups who were targeted for persecution, including Slavs (Eastern Europeans), gypsies, gay people and disabled people - but none more so than the Jews^

Yes, thanks for correction 'Aryan' - he was not.

The point being that some people from other backgrounds, religious or ethnic, etc- who have suffered from discrimination and forms of bullying because of the above- do often turn quite vehemently against their own once succesful and made it to 'top of pile'. They often change their names, spend a fortune lightening their skin, and worse.

He was given the sack by LBC because of his outrageous views, even that station that tolerates all sorts of views couldn’t stomach him.

He is a washed up has been. He has lived off other people the whole of his life. Even a previous poster gave him £50k??.

Didn’t mean that rudely Maybe70. Surely the most ardent fan won’t want an hour of Nigel 4 nights a week when there are other programmes to watch. I may dip into the odd one to listen to what he has to say.

I can’t actually be in the same room if he is on the tv. I know I should listen to what he has to say but, to be honest I kind of know what the gist of it will be! I still hold him responsible for Jo Cox’s death and he turns my stomach?

Well, I’ve learnt something today: Hitler was Arian ?
Stone me, why didn’t someone tell me this before.
Is this common knowledge?

I haven’t bought into anything thanks ( am from Yorkshire and prefer things to be free) ?and yes, indeed it does take all sorts, but I don’t want or hope to shut down anything because the political slant of the programme doesn’t suit me.Anytime a left wing tv news ‘n’ views appears on tv, I will not be the one yelling to get it taken off or hope it dies from lack of viewers.....I would watch it to see how it was and then not tune in again if it didn’t suit me.
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.
If you watch it and don’t like it.... turn it off/ switch over.

Well said lass. I’m not from God’s wonderful Country btw but my best friend is.

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.

Sounds like you're speaking to the wrong people, Chewbacca. Properly made Black pudding is absolutely delicious: especially Stornoway Black Pudding; the food of the Gods. (I'm salivating just thinking about the taste...)
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.

At least his racist bigotry is contained on a channel that I can avoid unlike when he was on the BBC all the time…..

Yes!

It wasn’t long ago that Farage was dismissed as a has been who like a bridesmaid but never the bride had never really succeeded at anything except causing division and hate.

He compared BLM as the same as the Taliban.

He has bought into mad Trumps philosophy.

Yes, especially those black puddings which are stuffed with false dichotomies, according to Whitewave ?
I find it very amusing that a few posters are so hot under the collar about a news programme....and they have never even watched it I bet ( they just ‘know’ that they won’t like it.)
Trying and hoping to shut down any tv programme because of the political slant is just typical of some people today, they don’t like it therefore it has no business existing.It’s also what the woke brigade in Universities is doing with their no platforming of all kinds of speakers and debates.
Smacks of extremism to me, either of the Fascist or Communist way of doing things.Think about it.

You have clearly bought into Trumps and Johnson’s false “woke culture” It was of course Trump who suggested that those against racism were communists.

Oh well it takes all sorts.

I don’t need to think about it Lemongrove to know you are right.

Farage often attacks the government which will be interesting.

Maybe70 as Roosevelt said “if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen” which is what you will be doing. Anyway there are other channels with other programmes at the same time.

''Smacks of extremism to me, either of the Fascist or Communist way of doing things.Think about it.''

You truly don't have to be an extremist or a Communist to oppose fascism or racism - perhaps you could think about that?

Let me put the cat amongst the pigeons. I have just read the woke warriors favourite (not) Nigel Farrage is joining GB news.

Sorry to be dim, but what are woke warriors please 25Avalon?

Woke warriors are people opposed to GBNews who want to shut it down. Btw I read this in The Guardian.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/feb/14/those-who-use-woke-as-an-insult-forget-the-point-of-a-real-debate

Is this the article you mean please?

Yes MM that’s the one. Quite interesting I thought.

Yes, very interesting.

I particularly like this quote -

"Dismissing something as “woke” is similarly a means of marking out territory rather than engaging in meaningful debate."

Nigel Farage is on the station a lot. This just means he will have his own program.
The irony is: there are more black women presenters on this station than any other.

I wonder why? Could it be a deliberate ploy- just perhaps?

The concept that you have to be a certain colour to be racist is just more nonsense. Hitler was not an Arian btw!

Well let’s see how it all pans out.

I must say that I hadn’t expected the viewing figures to drop so quickly, I actually gave it a year.

There are a lot of changes happening both in front of the camera and behind it, clearing trying to come up with something the viewer finds acceptable.

But it seems to me that a broadcaster whose philosophy is built on a false dichotomy of anti-woke culture war is laying itself open to fail.

He will be on 4 days a week from Monday to Thursday from 7-8pm and “won’t be taking the knee to anybody.”

I believe the co presenter who is black did not approve of the guy taking the knee.

growstuff
The difference being we are talking about a so called extremely right wing racist tv station.

I meant to add that Neil Oliver believes that brexit was absolute lunacy and often says so.

So what? My MP is a black women and she's anti-equality and racist.
