I recently started watching GB News and am finding it so interesting. Once you get past the different format to the usual news programmes it is very good. There are so many different views expressed from all political spectrums. I like that contributors are allowed to say their piece and it's then debated. Not just left or right wing views.

Ironically, that post pushed it to the top!

Yes, I agree, which is sad as I used to enjoy his contributions on South Today and the Today programme.

Farage has asked for the resignation of Peter Flavel CEO of Coutts and Howard Davies, NatWest Chairman.

Am I right when I quote NF as saying Peter Flavel has been written to three times by him, and no reply?
Not even an acknowledgment in return?

I mention this because it shows the arrogance and disdain these people hold anyone who isn't in their bubble.

You are correct.

This thread never seems to trend today 🤔

The Active List hasn’t worked properly for nearly three years.

Some threads hardly ever show up - including two Hip Replacement Threads.

There have been multiple threads about the malfunctioning Active Lists in Site Stuff.

HQ initially denied that anything was amiss, and did not seem to understand what I (and others) were on about.

I’ve emailed HQ twice about it.
The last time (about six months ago) I emailed them with screenshots as evidence, and I got a reply finally acknowledging that something may actually be wrong.

‘A glitch in the algorithm’, they said, adding that it would be ‘looked into’…

I’m resigned to it now! grin

Well done for trying.

Namsnanny thank you! You can’t say I’m not persistent!

Oh dear here come the excuses, apparently AR is being unfairly treated because she is a woman.
Obviously it couldn't be because she let the bank down by her actions? hmm

They have to do something! Poor losers STILL can’t get over the fact that the majority of British people who voted, voted to leave the EU.

So they are raking around looking for any excuse to still have a go at NF under the guise of something else. 😉

Namsnanny Thu 27-Jul-23 13:10:26

Anyone hear the Nick Robinson radio 4 interview with NF?

I'll leave you all to make your minds up as to how it went 🤣

Namsnanny Thu 27-Jul-23 16:33:42

Peter Flavel has gone then?

Interesting from Telegraph;GB News owner 's hedge fund nets millions betting against Nat West.
Curious that.

Namsnanny Thu 27-Jul-23 19:56:24

Yes, interesting westendgirl I've read this 3 times on this site today.

So far, if true, it still doesn't make me want to stop watching GB news though.

Why should it?

Namsnanny Thu 27-Jul-23 20:00:24

Strangely enough, the BBC licence fee annoys me more, and I don't feel like watching because of it.

Of course I couldn't watch GB without paying for the BBC

Funny old world at the moment isn't it?

Oldbat1 Thu 27-Jul-23 20:37:34

GB News is NOT a news channel.

Namsnanny Thu 27-Jul-23 20:44:45

Oh dear Oldbat1 I dont care grin what it's called

Here is one regular guest on GB News and Andrew Doyle, a presenter.
Both left wing.

I don't think many would call her left wing now

If Nat West / Coutts had been honest in their business, no matter how much Nigel Farage wanted to smear them nothing would have come of it.

So, I havent looked at any news today, will there be a 3rd resignation?
Taking bets?🤣

Anyone could have shorted nat west bank and made money. Its share price was obviously going to go down.

But "anybody" wouldn't have been able to start the process of shorting before Farage announced the closure of his account.
