Ch 4 10 pm. Boris Johnson and Lebedev…

BevSec

Its not satirical and I am not expecting anyone to ‘rise to the bait’ what is so wonderful about Labour?

Why do you assume that criticism of Johnson or the current government automatically makes someone a Labour / Starmer supporter?

Bev you rate Johnson even higher than Mrs Thatcher?

I’ve never heard a Conservative say that before.

Even as a rather leftie person, I hold Thatcher in high regard for several readings.

My regard for Johnson keeps plummeting to new uncharted depths

No comment then.
That’s a pity. It would have been good to hear a different take on it

No comment on that, and probably this is the wrong thread for me to comment on, but getting us out of the European Union makes him, to me, the best prime minister since Churchill. Well done Boris.

GB News is not watched over by OFCOM because it is not deemed a news channel. It is purely entertainment, so truth/lies all get treated the same.

Not true - they received a fine from Ofcom for something Mark Steyn covered on his show, he no longer works for them as he was not prepared to indemnify the channel if they were fined again because of him.

What does that have to do with Boris and Lebedev exactly BevSec, why not tell us your take on that?

WhiteWave yes, it’s obviously satirical

... one can never be quite sure.

I don’t know if this has been mentioned.
And why on earth did Lebedev invite Katie Price to the party?
(This also relates to the blackmail rumours that I mentioned yesterday)

... what an odd mix of people there were at that party.

Liz yes, I know. Which further adds to the confusion

It’s a ludicrous situation.
It actually posits itself as a rival to BBC news, but isn’t a news channel 🙄

However it did beat other news channels in the TRIC awards for news, the other day!

It’s on the I love GB News thread. People like me who don’t watch GB News are now known as fun sponges. It seems we’re not supposed to take the news seriously but find it amusing….

well I must be a fun sponge then. Or a realist. But I still know a traitor when I see one

WhiteWave yes, it’s obviously satirical

Johnson waiting in Perugia airport. Apparently entirely on his own with no luggage, according to fellow passages So where are the documents he arrived with?

he is obviously hungover in that photograph, possibly having flashbacks of just what happened, who has the evidence, and what the implications are. No, that is silly, Johnson has no conscience, no mind for anyone other than himself.

FannyCornforth

Oh BevSec!
You’ve done it now!

😄😄😄nah - no one will rise to the bait, as it is so ridiculous.

I’ve recently read an autobiography by an ex- Russian KGB member, now living in the U.K. And he stated that you remain KGB the whole of your life.

unless you are poisoned or fall out of a hotel window, of course. I have been banging on about this for months, and with few exceptions, hardly anyone on GN was the least bit bothered that their Pm was a traitor. I forgot to watch the programme, shall do so on catch up.

It’s a ludicrous situation.

Oh BevSec!
You’ve done it now!

Dickens it’s tagline is ‘home of latest and breaking news, opinion and analysis’

And ‘news’ is in its actual name

There do seem to be a lot of left wing grannies on here! My own take on Boris is that he is the best prime minister this country has had after Churchill. He is truly inspirational, highly intelligent, careful with our personal freedoms and most importantly got Brexit done and coped with Covid better than any of us could have done. He was stabbed in the back and this country will not be any the better for it. Really dread Starmer.

Maizie what a bizarre situation

Now that is odd.

Doesn't it advertise itself as a 'news channel'?

Wow!
I didn’t know that! (The first part, obviously 😉)

Somewhere there's a clip of the head of OFCOM recently giving evidence to a Commons Select Committee. I saw it a while ago. She said that GB News wasn't a News channel, it was entertainment. It was in connection with the involvement of MPs as presenters,

That's another very dodgy looking decision to add to the 'conspiracy of silence' list...

Whitewavemark2

Why can’t Johnson be investigated for his activities as Foreign Secretary? Particularly as most of his potentially traitorous activities happened during that period.

I begin to think that there is a conspiracy going on here.

John Sweeney produced a video a couple of years ago on the same theme as the Dispatches programme. Ignored...

Dispatches... ignored

Theresa May knew about Russian interference in the Referendum before she invoked A50. And she knew all about Johnson being a security risk. Why did she not speak out about it?

Met police ignoring all those NO 10 lockdown parties which they must have known about as it was their men providing security...

Total mystery of the undistinguished and inexperienced 29 yr old being bumped up into the Lords.. presumably no info because of a super injunction.. she appears to have left no trace of herself online apart from a slightly inaccurate Linkedin profile...

There's a lot to choose from.
