I love GB News

About 5 minutes of news. That does not make it a news channel, which is what it claims to be. But it is not covered by Offcom which it should be.

But it’s not a news channel

The news is read out on the hour, every hour. The rest is more of a chat programme and tends to reflect more right wing views. The Guardian is a newspaper and does carry news, but also has columns from columnists who are left wing and spout those left wing views just as GBTV spouts right wing views. No difference, just different ends of the spectrum. It’s called free speech.

I've watched it once and to be honest, didn't like what I saw / heard but if it's what someone chooses to watch...absolutely their choice.

However this is very interesting - given this particular person's vocal views!

I've just been reading back on earlier comments. There are many of you praising GB News - fair enough if it is to your liking. But the items that you are praising ( I have seen some of them) are those of a magazine programme and are often not news. The presenters are just that - not journalists.

Free Speech Nation is not so different to the similar programmes such as Any Questions but it is on earlier.

But, it is not a news channel.

I’d just put them all on a ferry/aeroplane and send them back to anywhere.
I know, I know, I know. We can’t!
I’d just like to and I suspect many others would too.

It’s a yes from me 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Good idea - get rid of all the front bench. Send them back!!

So long as it's both sides you have my vote!

That comment is nothing less than I’d expect.

Pleased I've kept you happy.

As far as I can see, the only long term solution to the illegal immigration problem is to stop them getting into Europe in the first place.
We are not the only country being invaded (because that’s what it is) by the huge number of single young males fancying their chances of a subsidised lifestyle in Europe so it’s in all our interests to work together to stop them.

Of course that would still leave the Albanians hell bent on getting here, but surely it should be straightforward to send them straight back to their own safe country.

One reason, you may not realise, for the number of young men is that the trek from Afghanistan or Pakistan to Europe is very long, arduous and dangerous. One reason why there are so many women and children are in refugee camps is because their men have gone to find homes andabetterlife for them.

GB News, where Politicians go to play and get paid, instead of working all out in their Constituencies. That's the strength of commitment you want from your Public Servant?

It's obnoxious.

Care to clarify your opinion? 😁

The investigations are about serving MPs hosting programmes. Apparently it’s not allowed. I didn’t know that until last week when my husband told me.

It's obnoxious.

So many good guests on the show, week after week they find interesting people with real life stories.

No virtue signalling in sight.

I enjoyed my GB viewing on Sunday.
Free Speech Nation had some very interesting people on.
I would have found it difficult to access them anywhere else.

Some interesting discussions on the cashless society over the last few days as well.

And apparently, if someone is in favour of free speech that makes them right wing!

I agree, I think free-speech nation is absolutely brilliant 🤓

Oh let them have their 5 mins of crowing Primrose53.

Life can be very boring without picking a fight on gn

Back to the Banks.

So NatWest wishes to curtail how much we can take or deposit in our accounts!

Watching JRM discuss it with Toby Young, and loving a little look around his lovely house in Somerset. Which is where they are transmitting from.

Stanley Johnson was discussing China and the climate, earlier. I'm afraid SJ came across as a blustering buffoon.
A quite nice one, but lacking in enough knowledge for my liking.

Don’t crow too soon !! 😝

From Ofcom site “It is important to note that an investigation by Ofcom does not necessarily mean the broadcaster or service provider has done anything wrong.”

Ofcom are investigating GB News again, with 4 new investigations:

I've watched Anne Diamond and Martin Daubeny during the last two days. Their programme and the others that I've seen are definitely not news programmes. They might skirt around news items but they're not reporting the news at all.

There was a lot of talk one day about sun beds at hotels - talk about boring - and Daubeny even managed to bring Brexit into that.

Also, the design of the studio and the background was not very good.

I also watched Laurence Fox - he may have been on Talk Talk and his monologue, once it could be heard, was appalling.
