Nice bit of projection here, mate. It was you who brought up Corbyn for no reason by the way.

If you really gave a **** you’d maybe just accept Johnson as a necessary evil. You choose to fanboy him.

Hang on it really makes me laugh with this crap re Boris and and that article. Wise up mate. There were woman threatened and needed protecting under Jezza jackboot. 1200 complaints against the Labour party which he was the head. Investigated and found guilty by the HR council.
Never in all my years of politics have I ever witnessed something so unpleasant. No excuses. Don’t make yourself look stupid. Don’t say ‘well he said this”. That’s not the bloody point. Jezza was more than an idiot. He was a nasty anti-Semite who took the Labour Party to its lowest point. Thankfully the good people of this country rejected the freak in big numbers.
PS Goldie and I were discussing GBNews and you and the old lefty decided to start knocking our posts. If you can’t take it don’t mock.
 
UK blasts 'offensive' France in Brexit sausage war as Macron 'says Belfast isn't in UK'

You’ve not actually discussed anything. You came on minutes into GB News’ debut show to whine about randoms on Twitter mocking it and have got increasingly more stupid as the evening has gone on.

You are the one who keeps interjecting mate. As I said I was talking to Goldie. I can’t understand why you keep coming back… you really are ‘last word Watford’.

I have to let some of your gammon victim nonsense slide or I’d get little else done.

You cheered for this deal and its effect on Northern Ireland by the way.

Eer you better look back because I said It was a good deal to get us out but not perfect. I also said at the time maybe we should have gone for no deal but everyone was saying it would cause trade problems <doh> unlike what the EU are doing now?
If I remember rightly the EU had F22k all to do with the GFA . Only the deluded will not accept that the EU are using Ireland as a pawn. They are trying to get us to sign up to close alignment and are also happy to see the U.K. break up, so we can be some vessel state. Fortunately the majority of the country can now see what they are like and only a few fanatics still think the EU has good intentions.
Personally I would tell them to f22k off and tear up the deal. They would soon crap themselves when Macron and co need to explain to French fisherman why they don’t have any waters to fish.
I thought we have been playing too much Mr nice guy but it was encouraging listen to Raab’s comments.
 
Right that’s it for me tonight.
GBNews quite refreshing as I don’t have to listen to the PC Woke brigade of Sky/BBC. No more Bet Rigby and her sly remarks.
I’m pleased with some of the presenters and guests on show. The content is very good and for once I don’t see one sided interviews. Even Lord Sugar said Brexit was a mistake, Jezza was an idiot and Starmer was a no-hoper in the same interview. 2 out of 3 ain’t bad. :emoticon-0100-smile
They need to sort the technical stuff and it has to be slicker.
But once it gets going I am sure more people will watch.
The even have a normal weatherman!

I think they are working hard on the technical side of things because this morning the picture looked brighter and the sound was fine. It’s great I don’t have to listen to Kay Burley and her afters. I did laugh at all the Woke freaks on Twitter today trying to get advertisers to boycott and coming out with the gammon jibes. Bless.

Yeah, the Gammoner brigade are going mad on Twitter which shows a marked insecurity. The station will get the technical stuff right. The impression I get of GB News is less a slick, lavishly funded MSM machine like Sky, and more a venture of enthusiasts on a tighter budget, at times slightly amateurish but genuine, with a mix of talented presenters and newbies who are finding their feet. I think it will appeal to a wide range of viewers who will probably rely on Sky or BBC for the news headlines, then go back to GBN for interpretation of events.

It was a joy to see a conversation today between black newbie journalist, Mercy Muroki, and footballer John Barnes who both dismissed taking the knee as worthless virtue signalling, and focusing instead on the need to tackle knife crime which is killing so many young men, and banging up others for years for murder.

Tony Abbott take a bow <applause> bloody brilliant and honest interview about Aussie trade deal and immigration points system. “It baffles me in Britain that so many people are always running the country down. No country has had more impact on the modern World than Britain. A trade deal with one of Britain’s greatest friends is no threat to the people of Britain. We will stand by the people of Britain through thick and thin in the future as we have in the past”.

Talking on immigration to the U.K. he said “if you come the wrong way you must not be allowed to stay. It’s not like they are leaving an unsafe country in France”

Talking about Universities and cancel culture he said “abominable self hatred that’s what it is. Have a bit of pride in your country. Have a bit of respect in you institutions. Britain is not a racist country”.

The last time I saw Tony Abbott was on Sky news with Burley who didn’t give him a chance to speak and kept butting in and going off topic in her usual way. This time he was given time to talk and make points. How refreshing.

Interesting that a poll conducted by French journal, Le Point, found that Boris Johnson is much more popular in France than Macron. He had an amazingly high 85% recognition factor. 51% of French voters approve of him, which is way higher than approve of Macron. 74% of the French believe that Boris Johnson has done a better job, or at least as well, on coronavirus.

Asked by Andrew Marr in 2018 whether the French people would have voted to leave the EU, Macron said "Yes". It was therefore up to the European elite to ensure they were never given a vote.

It was also great to have Amnesty and Abbott on, both have own views but for the viewer to make their own conclusions rather having to listen to the lefty afters from Burley and co.

Yes I knew about France wanting to leave the EU. Where My house is you won’t find anyone who likes it (EU) or Macron.
I still want to know WTF was VDL and the other EU freak doing at the G7 meeting trying to steal every photo opportunity?
