And it has verifiably none at some points according to BARB.

It’s one of those rare occasions I’ll say God bless unregulated capitalism. It will mean GB news will deservedly die.

I think there is space for it, but it is still like watching amateur hour.

That’s just pathetic and part of the stupid wokeness from lefty soft arses, who all they want to do, is get something cancelled. No wonder you lot lost the Brexit Referendum, with this cancel culture crap. :rolleyes:

Problem with many of you, assume wrongly. It’s not a racist channel, it’s got a diverse list of presenters. Some good, some not so good. Andrew Neil said from the outset it wouldn’t be a rolling news channel. I think that’s a mistake.

If they’re not offering anything of value then that’s capitalism in action unfortunately, who am I to stand in the way and oppose that? That’s a very right wing economic outlook.

I’m not that into wokeness to be honest, and have a range of opinions that wouldn’t fit in. Cancel culture and stoking up a culture war on trivial social issues isn’t in my interests, nor yours. But while everyone is distracted by that important things that actually matter are lost. Corrupt politicians, the revolving door of Ministers/advisers and the media/big financial firms. But hey look over there there’s some black men claiming their lives matter! Get me my pitch fork.

It had an even more diverse list of presenters until it cancelled one of them for taking the knee!

Absolute bollocks from you as usual, so they should have, doing a pointless gesture that doesn’t stop racism, presenters should be impartial as per ofcom regulations.

Farage is going to be doing a 7pm show now. Looks like they are going to move more towards the opinion angle.

But they’re not impartial. They have the presenters giving their opinions on things .

The problem here was it’s the wrong opinion for their audience so they cancelled the guy.

Farage is not a rat. Her is a great man who managed to steer us out of the EU. I never voted for his party, of course.

You obviously haven’t read the rules on OfCom impartiality, a presenter can give an opinion but they have to still maintain balance from both sides of the aisle.

As soon as I saw the announcement earlier. I just knew it would spark the pathetic triggering of bitter Remainers all over the place.

Nigel did have a popular LBC show for a good while.

I quite like him but then I did before it was fashionable to as well, to this day whenever he talks about brexit I feel a little reassured and I did vote for his party, many times, even campaigned for them.

Fair enough and respect. I'm a paid up Conservative member and John Redwood is my MP!

Then why is this allowed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy7QjV5NV0s

8 mins of Wootton giving his opinion and not giving the other side of the argument? How is it allowed in the OfCom rules that he is allowed, for example, to defend booing taking the knee but you're not allowed to support it?
