GB News collaboration with the Trump organisation- Do you think it undermines British democracy with mis information?

Rudeness is not becoming.

It's probably better to give reasonable references and backing for claims made late at night UK time, when waking up and sounding off on number of threads.

The brusque nature of your comments get replied to in kind - quite straightforward.

I don't think that nanna8 was being rude. She made a valid comment. The rudeness was in the response.

When and how was nanna8 rude?

The brusque nature of your comments
🤔
In fact, your post to nanna8 is really rather rude.

This is a chat forum, posters can pass comment without having to research and provide references and verification for their comments.

I think your comments to nanna8 are very rude and dismissive.

I'm referring to a large number of posts over time in News and Politics, I'm aware of many nanna posts on other threads which are just like anyone else's and sometimes lovely.

I think that in this instance nanna8 was responding to DAR’s post at 12 ish today. Which was not, IMO, very polite…

(I don’t think she was responding to my post about it, which was meant to be a bit lighthearted. Well, I hope she wasn’t… 🤔)

Not easy guessing late at night, MaizieD...

No - I was responding to DAR this time but ,look, who really cares ? I am getting used to rude retorts these days, water off the proverbial. Just a different way of looking at things . Just glad it is online and not real life. Thanks for your support oreo and allira, appreciate it.

This is true of so much. If only people would consider the views of other people instead of dismissing them as of no consequence.

Here here ! I know sometimes I have a very different perspective being a non resident . Occasionally we get a very different slant on what is happening in the world though certain things are the same. I can't remember saying anything controversial at all recently, though . Best to smile and agree, can’t be stuffed arguing.

I am afraid that this potentially interesting thread is going down a rabbit hole. I am not getting at anybody, just saying.

I'm sorry for my part in that. It was an ill judged moment of irritation at a bad moment* and I didn't mean to start this off.

I apologise wholeheartedly to nanna and hope we can get back on-topic.

*(On October 12th, in a religious setting, I was sexually assaulted in a religious setting: the effects, police, the organisation, still unresolved.
It has had a very long reach and has made me snappy with family and friends as well as sometimes online however hard I have tried to control it)

I am troubled if GB news continues to do this and be the voice of Trump
Other threads are currently picking apart his appalling New years Eve address. I hope they realise they have gone too far and don't repeat this sort of "import".

I t certainly appears on the political threads you must agree with 'clique' group. You must not disagree. If you dare to, it is at your peril lol!

I was defending you too, nanna8. Acknowledging that would have been nice…

It has nothing at all to do with agreeing with an imaginary clique. This spat was about posting manners.

I’m sorry to hear that Wyllow. I hope you’re ok and being looked after.

Gosh, have I just missed the first 'pile on' of 2026?

Sweet apology, Wyllow.

I certainly don’t agree with the extreme views of some of the posters, someone has got to bring a sense of reality into the debate.

I’m sorry to hear that Wyllow. I hope you’re ok and being looked after.

(Yes, it did really happen and it's been hell, and I have got support: we are going through Restorative Justice aka Community Justice paid for my the police after he admitted guilt - but interrupted by c mas - but the religious organisation flailing around unhelpfully as never ever been known before) so 3/4 weeks to go)

but please carry on with the topic, and I am so relieved people have understood

Well said, Wyllow.

I don’t watch GB News, I feel (in my opinion) it’s biased.

I do know that there are some very good journalists involved in this production, some of whom do often give differing opinions and other view points, but, for me, GB links with Reform and people like Farage and Widdecombe, are a step to far for me.

Yes, there should be an investigation into any channel alleging showing “world exclusives” with powerful (even if bonkers) world leaders such as Trump.

Most “normal” humans do seem to feel that much of what Trump spouts is either lies or highly exaggerated nonsense.

I don't watch BBC news. It is obviously biased, and has been found to be so. Doctoring of the Trump speech, bias against Israel, perpetuating Hamas as the goodies, and refusing to name them as a terrorist organisation, which they are. For starters. GBnews any day, anyone left of centre is going to say different, and Ofcom are just that .

Hope things work out soon for you Wyllow.

I’m left of centre but still enjoy certain parts of GB News, it’s a more outspoken form of Breakfast or Good Morning tv in that it’s a mix of news and chat.
There are presenters I like and a few I don’t like and guests are any shade of political views.
