    Think you’ll find obsession is a touch strong a terminology. Posting something very occasionally is hardy Piers Morgan ranting about Meghan day in day out for four years, now that’s an obsession.

    He's left management, having fallen out with the CEO, Angelos Frangopoulos. AF is ex Sky Australia and is against woke cancel culture which is what GB News is all about, and has commentators from left and right.

    Neil will still be a weekly contributor to Farage's nightly programme which is good news if we want intelligent comment and don't want GB News to become Fox News UK

    that’s the same Nigel who slated the RLNI and then a crew were targeted? The same Nigel who congratulated the daughter of a Romanian immigrant after saying something about not wanting Romanians living next door to him. Intelligent comment you say?

    The intelligent comment I was referring to was Andrew Neil's.

    So far as Farage is concerned, I see him as a 90 percenter. I agree with 90% of his views, but feel he goes over the top 10% of the time. Another of his comments that made my cringe was ten years ago, his personal insults to the EU President at the time, Herman van Rompuy. There was no need for it.

    Farage is proving to a good TV broadcaster with deep political knowledge and natural interviewing skills. But sometimes, he needs to wind his neck in.

    Hmmmm but they’re not actually removing it completely though from what I read….just taking that element out of the ‘on the road’ test and getting that done later by a third party ‘off road’.
    Of course I might be reading that wrong but that’s what it sounds like to me…..although that won’t fit the ‘tweets’ narrative

    It was always done off road anyway
    First part of the test
    Even if you failed the reversing part you had to complete the test then get back to be told you had failed

    So it is not true that you only need a cycle proficiency gold badge to be a HGV driver now then?

    No Beth…..along with a sense of humour and the ability to eat cake with one hand and steer with the other……that’s what you need to drive an ambulance.

    Not forgetting a grade A, GCSE in swearing loudly

    3 lies in a row from huge news platforms. I cited my young child as why I didn’t want to travel. But notice how NONE of them mentioned that? Ask yourself why that was.

    Tomorrow, 15th September 2021 is the 81st anniversary of the most important day in UK history.
    Battle of Britain Day, when the Luftwaffe threw everything at RAF Fighter Command in a final attempt to smash it........and failed.
    Remember them.
