I must be getting old. 20 years ago my first reaction would have been your Mrs is well fit, respect. Now all I’m thinking is that cake is awesome, respect.

I have got to say I have to admire Grendel here, he is one of the few who has met people in person and said who is on here, he then gets called out as a Ronnie Barker lookalike and still does not give a shit and ploughs into everyone!!

Its funny I love it when people dish it out then squirm when they get it back

I know when I walk in a room im better in a business sense than most of the idiots in there - it’s never done me any harm

Once my director wanted to get rid of a very difficult employee and literally asked 3 of us would you manage him out the business. Everyone said no. Went to see him afterwards and said put him under me get me an exceptional rating (in those days a £15 grand bonus) and he will be gone in 6 months

I got the bonus

The glory days, she's currently heavily pregnant and aiming general grouchiness in my direction.
The cake was delicious though, taste testing for that was probably my favourite part of wedding prep.

I can well believe that working with you had him out the door, I'm surprised it took 6 months

Not currently and I'm hoping the baby and the mortgage mean she'd think it's too much hassle now.

It's a condensed and accurate response.

Attitudes like yours (anyone who doesn't agree with me is racist) just shows why that version of politics keeps losing.

I'm not sure if GB News will be successful or not, but if it is, it'll be because of its opponents more than anything.
Click to expand...

But surely the same would therefore be said of any 'leftie' alternative that would appear? If WOKE News started up with all of it's nonsense on pronouns and needing to 'educate yourself' whenever anyone doesn't have the same thoughts as them, or crying racist/homophobic/misogynist at every little thing, would you claim that was successful because of the likes of GB News, Lawrence Fox, JHB etc forcing more moderate people to move towards the left because of the extremist attitudes of those further to the right.

This is the continuing problem with the polarity we're seeing. One group digs a trench one side, one digs one in the other and the moderates get mortared to fuck by both in no-mans-land or are forced to seek cover in one or the other even though it's not what they believe in.

I think the likes of these people on both sides combined don't speak for the majority of people - they're just shouting increasingly loudly at each other and most people are just shutting their eyes, taking a deep breath and whispering "oh, do fuck off' under their breath.

Of course it's initial figures will do well. People will tune in even for a bit to see what the fuss is about.

Seems their vetting process isn’t very stringent as so far they’ve had calls & messages from, amongst others, Mike Hunt, Mike Oxlong, Drew Peacock, Hugh Janus and Cleo Torez.

Whatever your politics, the technical problems are genuinely hilarious. This account has been dutifully compiling them all, it looks like a madhouse! https://twitter.com/GBNewsFails

This is just incredible - at the top of their show at 12pm today!

With the budget they've got and the people involved its amazing to me how they are making so many basic mistakes. Constant technical issues and being tricked with false names.

Maybe its a plan to bump up the viewing figures, make it such a car crash that people watch.

Yeah that's not an ideal way to launch a new show on a new network. McCoy must be wondering what the hell he's signed up for.

I see that having the freedom to choose who you advertise with is now anti freedom of speech. Much better that we dictate who companies are allowed to advertise with, that would be freedom of speech in action. No, wait…

It's using your economic power as a point of influence, usually to illicit a change of particular behaviour ,be it human rights, animal welfare, worker's rights etc etc.

Companies can advertise where they want. I don’t see anyone complaining that Tesco don’t advertise on PornHub. Same applies here.

He probably got bored of listening to his BS and leaving was a blessing.
