Is Naga Munchetty a TV turn off?

Personally, I see absolutely nothing wrong with a display of flags.

I can`t stand the woman,as soon as she appears on Tv i turn off.
Talk about me/myself/i.

To be fair, it was Charlie Stayt who made the joke about the flag and Naga Munchetty just laughed but she seems to have got the telling off. I see it as the Tory party misappropriating the flag. Reminded me of the BNP, but frankly there are much more important things to be getting up in arms about these days

I prefer 'Milkshake'.Not the ones you drink if their's any confusion concerning my reply.

They aren’t there to tell us what they think, it’s a News programme, they are supposed to be impartial interviewers, I don’t watch it to hear their points of view, just to watch them interview others.

Exactly Oopsadaisy they have a role as presenters not arbiters of taste.

I find her rude and too big for her boots !

When she was on Saturday Kitchen she was attempting to make it all about herself.
It was embarrassing to watch because she appeared to be on a mission to turn it into the Naga show.

Doesn't everyone have a union jack on a flagpole in their cloakroom or lounge? some of you are being far too cynical

No, we've got the Welsh Flag flying on the flagpole in the front garden
Our neighbours have a Cornish flag

I don't watch Breakfast TV but I thought the Panorama programme Naga Munchetty presented recently was good.

People should be able to mock anything. The queen anything, I dont want to live in a country that doesnt have that freedom. It's actually part of what I love about this country.

What freedom. You can’t mock.....

Transgender,
Race,
Sexual orientation,
Religion,
Disability.

These are all classed as hate crimes under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 so where is the freedom you talk about.

Naga Munchetty is an extremely arrogant, rude opinionated woman with no manners at all.

Who cares what people have in the sitting rooms/attics, flags, pictures of their dogs, cats, babies and even pictures of the Queen. It’s only the likes of Naga Munchetty who mocks people.

All these politicians with a flag in the corner remind me of those who wear a Remembrance Day poppy way ahead of time.

What's it called - virtue signalling?

Pillocks.

I’ll have to remember to check in with you to find out when you will allow me to wear the poppy that I paid for!

Why would you do that?

I was referring to politicians who are obviously following the latest diktat from HQ on displaying the flag - I have absolutely NO interest in when you wear your poppy.

Ohhps wrong thread, apologies
I thing Naga Munchetty is trying to come across as authoritative, but alas comes across as Authoritarian.

I can’t stand her.

Nooooo it’s just because they haven’t decorated their rooms recently & they don’t want to us to see that........quick resolution display our Flag, phew saved by Rule Britannia ?

I disagree

Love Naga Intellegent classy lady.

Is it an upbringing thing? My mam would’ve slapped me if I’d commented on either!

The BBC (Britain Broadcasting Company) is supposed to be impartial and so are its presenters.

There’s not much impartiality going on in the Scottish Covid Briefings, which are being used to talk about the Sturgeon/Salmond business. Just because a reporter asks a question about it doesn’t mean the person leading the briefing has to answer. They should be replying ‘I’m here to talk about Covid and nothing else. Next question, please.

It doesnt matter suzie it's a fair question. And I am coming to the conclusion that controlling language is more dangerous than things that might happen if we dont control it.

Hummm that’s a jump I feel from mocking an individual who through no choice of their own has a disadvantage to mocking a group of (supposedly) grown up men and women who have chosen to put a flag ( picture of the Queen whatever) in the corner of their living room for political reasons. Being mocked for your disability ( as I have been ) can be very damaging and bears no comparison in terms of freedom of speech when mocking someone’s political views or actions which are freely chosen.

The BBC equivalent of Piers Morgan, not my favorite presenter.

So it was ok for Donald Trump to mock the disabled reporter then?

Is that a fair comparison ?

The Huw Edwards flag was to support Wales in the rugby today, nothing to do with him being a white, or interrupting, shouty man (he’s always courteous). The English including the BBC hierarchy are very miffed about Wales beating them, how dare they!
On the subject of news people though, my absolute favourite is George Alagiah, he’s so unbiased in the way he presents, and I love the way he smiles at you/the camera after the broadcast and says and Now for the news where YOU are - is that just me?

I didn’t say he was shouty. And I think his Welsh flag was making a point re Naga- his second tweet with the BBC flag was very witty. He’s got form (good on him) for poking fun at BBC management ( or as it’s better known now, the field office of Conservative HQ).
