Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already (27 Viewers)

[SBT]

If the BBC is bankrupted, at least we’ll still have fearless journalists asking tough questions of foreign leaders

READ IN FULL: The full transcript from Bev Turner's interview with Donald Trump

The President sat down with Bev for GB News's US programme The Late Show Live

The opening question was like something out of Frost/Nixon:

I've spent a little while in America now, and I've been really struck by the sense of positivity here. That can-do attitude is really in contrast to the UK and more broadly, Europe actually, which feels like it's in the doldrums at the moment, economically, socially, really struggling. And that's been a long term project, I think. But you've proven that leaders don't just have to sit around writing strongly worded letters. You can actually get stuff done in a short space of time. How have you done it?

‘Would you prefer your balls tickling or massaging?’

 

[Flying Fokker]

That woman…Needs to move to The US.

Ohh you're almost there Ben. You almost made the connection!

You have ironically stated Great Leader Starmer should continue the strategy of sucking up to him and stroking his ego (and anything else) to keep him happy

Only took you about 6 months to come up with that one. Good stuff.

 

[Grendel]

You must be raging at Starmer now surely given your clear anger at Trump?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Isn’t Starmer French?

 

[Grendel]

Isn’t Starmer French?

Oh dear

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Oh dear

Shouldn’t that be sacre bleu?

 

[PVA]

You must be raging at Starmer now surely given your clear anger at Trump?

Real low energy stuff these days.

Leave the football before the football leaves you.

I am not one to comment on this off topic forum, but as a part owner of the BBC and therefore have skin in the game, I want to have a say:
Trump is the devil or the saviour depending on your perspective and I am sure the lots of dirt is yet to be mined on this subject. Like Savile and his like these people hide in plain sight and get away with far more than his decent. We hold individuals to too high a standard and expect morals and ethics that is obviously not achievable to these people.
Trump is not British and nor was Epstein and I am hopeful that all will be revealed in good time by their own law enforcers. We can’t take too much of the moral high ground can we?
Andrew is different, he should be exposed both here and in the USA has the repugnant low life and the full force of the law take care of his crimes committed here and the Americans do likewise.
The BBC is and has been biased for a long time and has been exposed for more than bias. Its charter is breached and needs to be reset for it to survive With or without the license fee.
lessons need to be learned. Most are chancers who will gird their loins and feather their nests if there is a chance they will get away with it.

Biased in whose favour might I ask?

yes you may ask. The Woke agenda

 

[Grendel]

[PVA]

yes you may ask. The Woke agenda

Ah yes with those famously woke lefties Paul Dacre and Robbie Gibb running the show?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

yes you may ask. The Woke agenda

I see. What does 'the woke agenda' consist of?

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

What is an example of being woke?
While there is no single agreed-upon definition of the term, it came to be primarily associated with ideas that involve identity and race and which are promoted by progressives, such as the notion of white privilege or slavery reparations.
From me
The BBC reporting and behaviour of its editorial and presenting staff that reflects the minority of views of its population.
Trans debate, boats, flags, social issues.

i am not the oracle and my views are those of an old man who is despairing at the direction of this great land.

Like having the likes of farage on giving his opinion far more often than his political backing warranted? Oh no, then it was to 'provide a balanced view' wasn't it...

It is warranted as that fits into the impartiality debate perfectly

The decades of poor governance by both key parties got us where we are today.

Immigration/Europe could have been managed far better. Yes, there was a conversation to be had. But I think we’d still be in Europe if Cameron had used his brain.


The electorate have has been let down time after time. I think we are weaker as a nation as we move further towards Reform Party politics.

Sadly, the demographics suggest this could happen. I wonder if Farage is as clean as Trump?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

So you're agreeing that the BBC are impartial then.

On everything no but it’s interesting you think Farage is over represented

So in your view, what would be balanced coverage of the issues?

 

[TomRad85]

That's why Hilary and The Donald have so much beef. He was giving her hubby fire head.

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

So in your view, what would be balanced coverage of the issues?

Good question! Not splice speeches to distort USA president would be a start

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Good question! Not splice speeches to distort USA president would be a start

So you say it’s biased towards the woke agenda but don’t actually know what coverage you want instead?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

On everything no but it’s interesting you think Farage is over represented

For many, many years he was massively overrepresented in debates and giving soundbites on the news. Arguably now he has got a larger amount of support he should have more airtime, as it's necessary to actually question him on policies rather than just letting him give soundbites.

And the few times it's happened it's been a disaster.

 

[Grendel]

The polls aren’t suggesting that

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

The polls aren’t suggesting that

Or people just aren't paying attention.

When they hear the message they want then it's all fine, when they see their poster boy getting his arse handed to him in an interview they just ignore it and say it's bias.

Well when the chancellor changes the budget 3 times in a week and makes austerity type hints why would people care? Also Farage dictates the immigration narrative anyway.

I don’t think you have ever lived on a sink estate and are pretty clueless regarding how they are likely to think

 

[skybluetony176]

So. The next question is does bubba refer to Bill Clinton or Ghislaine Maxwells horse.

Which leads on to a follow up question. Would you rather blow a horse but no one finds out about it or would you rather not blow a horse but everyone thinks you have

Quite the ‘chicken and egg’ conundrum.
