Nearly £200,000 for pensioners in poverty…
I’m sure some of you will find a negative even in that…🤓

Farage on GB news good debate going on
About the farmers at the moment…
On for an hour, so I’m sure there will be other subjects up for debate..

I know I can search Primrose53 but if people make statements about what is said on another thread without telling us that it's been said somewhere else it's a bit confusing.

I don't want to have to read every thread - I'm sure you don't either.

Thanks for telling me.

I don't think anyone said "I don’t like any presenters because they are on GB News", Primrose.

I didn't spot it, anyway.

It was on the Camilla Tominey thread. “I don’t like her or any presenters on GB News”. Slightly different but same meaning.

Yes, I’ve seen that as well. On various threads about GB news like I said before I’m sure the presenters would not be at all bothered….Their loss 😉

Shinamae I put GB on in the morning. Friendly, personable readers. They deliver the news, which is what I want, without venomous bias!

Exactly and yet they have so many haters
If it keeps them happy. 😂 I’m sure GB news won’t be at all bothered…

Great Britain News.. or GB news is my go to News channel.

The daily advent calendar slots read out by ministers are very good

lemsip aren’t they uplifting? Just a few words but always very apt. I haven’t seen today’s message. I will put it on at 10.

I suspect the reason the 'pearl clutchers' don't like GB News isn't because 'it dares to be different'.

Pray, tell why then?

I think Shinamae started the thread “GB NEWS viewers raise money” because for a fairly new news channel it is a nice idea for presenters to think of others.

Their audience has increased considerably and some of their presenters have already won awards in the TV industry.

A lot of us think it is a refreshing change from other channels who are very biased and boring.

GB News is detested on here by a few pearl clutchers because it dares to be different so we have ridiculous comments like “I don’t like any presenters because they are on GB News.”

Some evenings I am in fits of laughter when you get people on GBN from completely opposing sides having a good old ding dong, then before the end they are getting on great over a pint or a piece of music and often having a laugh too.

So glad it is not only me that has notice the 'not nice' comments!

love0c Mon 09-Dec-24 12:31:48

Oh dear me! Even at Christmas time the 'passive aggressive' can't keep stum!

Wylow3 Surely it would have been more appropriate to 'have your quiet word' on a separate post? This post is about the good work GB News does for the less fortunate.

Quite..

eazybee Mon 09-Dec-24 12:29:50

I agree with you, loveOc; cannot see the point of some of the comments on here. Money has been raised for a registered charity; well done.

The point is love0c that this fundraising is good, but it’s not in any way exceptional, it’s what journalists celebrities,, and millions of unsung heroes do, across the political spectrum. Why would GB News need a special mention and nobody else who has done the same thing?

They had a special mention because I chose to give them one…

Wyllow3 St. Martin in the Fields (and its Vicar's Relief Fund) is my favourite charity.
Such a lot of great work done there.
I am so glad the BBC still supports it.
