The Television and Radio Industries Club awards took place today.

These awards are voted for by the PEOPLE (not industry back slappers).

Nigel Farage won News Presenter of The Year for the second time.

Best News Programme went to GB News Breakfast

Alistair Stewart revealed his heartbreaking diagnosis with Camilla Tominey and won Interview of The Year.

👏👏👏👏

There will be a change now, as I presume NF will not be hosting a hour long show?

I love the pearl clutching metaphor, never heard it before I heard it on here. Pearls are very beautiful natural objects and it would be an honour to ‘clutch’ them. I love Bizet’s opera The Pearl Fishers,too. I now have a picture in my head of a perfectly formed glowing pearl from Broome.

Oh dear, now I've got an ear worm .....
I read a book about pearl fishing in Australia a while ago

Are any offensive posts just to try and provoke a reaction from any POV worth the space they occupy? They then tar anyone sharing the same POV with the same brush?

It isn’t exactly meant as a flattering description of someone…

You called her ‘a right ignorant cow’ not just a cow sad

Sorry yes- stand corrected, ignorant cow!
Well she certainly was that

I'm entirely confused as to which sort of pearl clutching is supposed to be applied to which points of view here.

That would be me, some people took offence to me calling Fiona Bruce a cow for the way she treated N Farage, after stating she would let him speak uninterrupted- she clearly didn’t. That was the point!

I think you’re offending the pearl clutchers by describing them as pearl clutchers. Actually.

My sincere apologies to the pearl clutchers

I would never call anyone a cow.

We all know who the pearl clutchers are. Those that post reams and demand justification from everyone who dare disagree. They are so intelligent and knowledgeable. The one's who simply dismiss everyone else's experience and knowledge as irrelevant just because it differs from their own.

I was expecting them to turn up in force but sadly they haven't.

Well said 🤓👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Oh dear- we're back to " pearl clutcher " again.. is " right ignorant cow" a considered response to her style of questioning, or merely abusive? Discuss.

Not personally a great fan of Fiona Bruce but find MT61’s description of her ‘ she came across as a right ignorant cow’ rather distasteful.

I bet a lot of people were calling her much worse (Fiona Bruce) for rudely interrupting Nigel Farage, since I don’t swear, I thought it sounded least offensive- I don’t want to offend the pearl clutchers on here, so please accept my sincere apology

Who exactly are ‘the elite’? Can you give me some examples?

That was cossy who mentioned the elite

Mt61 Sun 30-Jun-24 21:46:37

Oh dear, I think I have hit a nerve 😩
There is nothing vile about my post, unless one supports Hamas. People who like & support Nigel Farage have to put up constantly being called nasty racists.
Also the elite are left leaning

Mt61 was referring to the BBC not left wingers Cossy
It often pays to read posts thoroughly.

I read it and reached the same conclusion as Cossy confused

Oreo Sun 30-Jun-24 21:38:48

LauraNorrder very few would come back and say what you have so well done for that.
I pick and choose what I watch on GB News as you would with any programme, and have enjoyed many debates and chats on there.

Wonder why people on the left love the bbc? When they like to protect paedos, like Saville, put Sir Cliff Richard through the wringer, won’t call the murdering scum that’s Hamas,terrorists! That’s the lefty lovers for you!

That’s totally unnecessary.

How dare you insinuate that LP supporters would ever “protect” people like Saville, if anything the elite protected him, and will know most of the elite are far from left-leaning.

Can’t you have a discussion without resorting to foul and vile remarks?
