Eamonn Holmes goes to GBNews! ?? (We haven’t had GBN thread for a while…)

Alegrias I’m not forgiving Farage for anything. I don’t hold with his views or what he has done at all

Must admit I've never seen Farage presenting apart from a few minutes at the start of his tenure at GB News. But if he is good at presenting, that's good then, we can forgive him the fact that he's almost single handedly brought about the ruination of this country

I've seen Holmes though. TBH, gravitas isn't a quality I would have associated with him. I wonder if he'll be buddying up with the Coast Guy. His career's taken an odd turn.

We like Farage
Words fail me a more unlikeable man I cannot think of I d better get off this thread if it’s going to be honouring that man he must have had an complete personality change if he’s listening to people as I ve never heard a more bombastic shouty rude man in my life

Really like Nigel Farage and think he’s one of the few people left talking any sense.
Quite like Eamonn too so must watch GB news.

Urms I know that it is an extremely unpopular view, but I do agree with you about Farage as a presenter. He was always very good on LBC (prior to getting the sack).
He can present and knows his way around a studio, which is a much needed thing in GBN

Galaxy good heavens, I hadn’t heard about that
I think that a lot of what goes on at ITV isn’t very savoury
There is such a lot of nepotism (I know that’s the wrong word, but you know what I mean).
They’re all got the same management company which seems all powerful, which is why a small group of presenters are so ubiquitous.

Oh that’s shocking Galaxy.

Agree with you there, too many people not willing to listen to all views, from across the spectrum what I find Lincslass is that some stations invite them on then cut across them or talk over them if it doesn’t suit their narrative. At least Farage is polite, waits and listens.

Anyway this thread is about Holmes. I don’t watch him. I think he was on ITV and these “breakfast shows’ are a bit ‘magaziney’ for my tastes IYKWIM.

Oh and I am.not sure how This Morning can take the moral high ground on conspiracy theorists when they gave a platform to a man protesting his innocence on child cruelty who months later killed that child.

I havent heard EH say anything controversial in my life. Is this a new thing. He is very bland.

We like Farage at 7pm after the news bulletin. We are often eating at that time. He talks a lot of sense and is happy to interview people with a different viewpoint. Experts too! Plus he does listen. He’s polite, doesn’t interrupt and allows them a proper platform.

Holmes is a presenter with some gravitas. He is a consummate professional. GBNews will be glad to have him on board.

Funnily enough, DH and I were discussing Eamonn Holmes last night, we don't rate him at all, I'm afraid.
We have more admiration for his wife and her efforts at trying to diversify her career.

Yes Fanny Cornforth at least on GBnews presenters are allowed to say what they think.

I’ve listened to him a few times when he was on Talk Radio a couple of years ago.
I found him the most boring speech broadcaster I have ever heard.
I can’t understand why he has such a good reputation

I wish that I could link, but much of Holmes’ move is due to him asserting that anti vaccine views about 5G should be allowed to be heard
This didn’t go down well with the makers of This Morning

I can't say I am over keen on Eamonn Holmes but good for him. I like GBnews and I watched Nigel Farage yesterday when he was in Sunderland and found it really interesting.

Opps offence I meant.
