I can’t think of right wing satire that hit the sweet spot, but I can’t remember seeing any :smile:. But I guess if one hates Labour, Starmer, Abbott, the EU, Woke, then they’ll find it hilarious. I bet a proportion of Germans love laughing at anti semitic satire/parodies in the 1930’s...

I’m all for a wide spectrum of legal and not inciting views, so it’s fine by me. I wouldn’t want the news dominated by the likes of Jon Snow. But GB News will be repeatedly in hot water if they go down the cheap shot path of eg belittling mental illness. I hope they keep it sensible.

I probably won’t watch it, except for entertainment where there’s a huge row (I mischievously like aggro :lolol:) eg A.Neil or P.Morgan have a combative interview with RLB, or there’s a feminist v transgender scrap. The political litmus test for me will be Trump, QAnon, Steve Bannon. If I get...

“An online channel providing news, factual information, commentary, discussion and satire”. Based on broadcasting principles founded by Joesph Goebbels.

I think Gammon Broadcasting will make heavy losses and fail in the medium to long term. Even if it has wealthy backers. Imho there simply isn't enough of a UK public market, to watch a quasi-Fox News. Through family, friends and clients/work I know a large number of folk who voted for Brexit...

Interesting. I like him. Ten plus years ago he came across as very miserable about everything. In recent times he’s shown a more rounded side, allied to his intellect. Rising above the disgusting attack by the fascists who travelled up to London to beat him up, also earns plaudits to my mind.

Few ever mention the following, instead getting involved in the pointless cul de sacs of left v right, baby boomers v everyone else. A whole load of generalising. There are pensioners in droves having to work against their hopes, there are folk in their 20's and 30's having a lifestyle of...

The Alex Beresford clip is remarkable. He bravely took on the bully with directness, but without the rudeness and decibels of Morgan. Morgan was completely out of his comfort zone and did a infantile walkout. His world collapsing. Anyone other than Beresford and he would have shouted them...

Hi vegster, I couldn't agree more. The German apprenticeship system is the success story of european education, no surprise then that they have world leading industries way beyond manufacturing, also the professions and most vocations. 53% of young adults take an apprenticeship rather than...

I always agree with Herr Tubthumper about uni - it can be a great life experience, the academic achievement, learning a whole set of analytical and other skills, 2.6 years away from the control of parents, see a different part of the country if away from your home town and making new mates...

A spot on summary.

The issue is that the grades had to be much higher than now. 85% by default simply didn’t have the life opportunity to ever get to uni. A friend who went to a big secondary school in Crawley, told me recently that just two in his year went to uni (one was Robert Smith’s future sister in law!)...

Two points regarding higher education. I went to uni in the 80’s when there was just capacity for 15% of young adults. Numerically it was elitist. 85% never had access, instead having to find jobs or trades at 16 or 18, that was their academic lot. Full stop. Now, due to uni growth over 35...

I was going by my two days of listening to LBC on the matter, they took calls from various black rights campaigning uni academics. For example, one today said that the Royal Family even now are systemically and personally racist (she was challenged on that), it goes back to the 19th century...

I lean towards that thinking too. Harry also had understandable mental health problems. They both come from broken homes, his mum died tragically (money in his family does not mean the effect can be brushed aside). I hope this has lanced their hurt now. Enough’s been said. At the human...

Regarding the Royal Family and the alleged racism, my personal view is that naive/socially awkward Charles asked the skin colour question. This can sometimes be said with warmth and curiosity (I only know this, because several mums in mixed heritage couples have called R5 and LBC to say this...

I’m against Cancel Culture and all opinions should be freely expressed (where legal and within reason .... eg not mocking online the dead former owner of LCFC/the copter crash). That includes from the majority ‘white’ people in this country, from the left and right. Morgan eventually...

Do you remember they used to shirt sponsor Charlton? The fakes photos he published in The Mirror of abuse in Iraq was disgusting, the sort of thing that costs real lives, in hyped up revenge on soldiers of his own nation. I wish someone had mentioned some of this, when he was bullying them on...

I’m pleased you’ve mentioned that. In NSC phone hacking discussions everyone always talks about NOTW/The Sun. I loath Murdoch btw. But The Mirror Group were equally disgusting and disgraceful.

:lolol: It depends. There are a load of NSC’ers who thought Morgan was saintly for near enough accusing the government of killing 120,000 people with CV19. “Why didn’t we shut up shop for a year like New Zealand?” But they would’ve avoided him like the plague when he spent 4 years mocking...
