Is this part of your stand up routine? That’s brilliant.

He’s not wrong though. What they often achieve however, rather than balance, is false equivalence. And when they have to present a big story without a big voice on either side of it, they end up interviewing their own staff, which can often give their main news bulletins a very paternalistic feel (Roger Harrabin, their Environment evangelist Analyst, is the very worst at this).

I'm just sick of talking heads most of whom I've never heard of and are seldom referred to again.

Re: GB News
 

seriously?

Are people lying to pollsters when they say it is (IPSOS MORI this week):

The cost of living 67%
The UK government’s policies for dealing with asylum seekers 47%
Climate change 47%
The Covid-19 pandemic 43%
The UK government’s proposals for reducing regional inequalities, also known as levelling-up 42%
The war in Ukraine 38%
Stories about Downing St parties that broke Covid regulations 37%

Transgenderism is an issue to a small number of right wingers - not to anyone else.

Re: GB News
 

Well, transgender issues absolutely never come up in any conversation I’ve had or have overheard. I suspect it’s only militant trannies and serial societal disrupters who like to talk about this.

Re: GB News
 

Utter bollocks.

0 out of 10 for taking a line out of my entire post to make a bullshit post about right wing stuff. It’s nothing to do with being right wing to have common sense when it comes to there being just two sexes. And I’ll take a qualified biologist view over your armchair claptrap any day.

Re: GB News
 

Or Right Wing pundits and newspapers trying to inflame Culture Wars…

Re: GB News
 

Or actual women trying to protect their sex from being over ridden by men, who change gender but still want to compete in women sports and have the upper hand.

Re: GB News
 

It’s an issue that is, although quite small in the great scheme of things, gaining traction. It is not Trans-genderism as such, but certainly Gender ideology is infiltrating society and corporations.

Pronouns on email sigs etc.

Personally, I just politely advise that I do not subscribe to gender ideology, as that is all it is, an ideology not based in any fact. I’m also very careful to differentiate between sex and gender. People will push back on it. Especially in regards to male bodied athletes in woman sports and male bodied people in women only spaces……..

Re: GB News
 

Q E D…

Emotive disparaging inflammatory language….

"War against woke", "vicious war", transgender Nazis"…

Careful, you’re turning into a Republican Congressional Representative

Re: GB News / Talk TV
 

This is all a very 'online' discussion and yet it generates a lot of anger at something that doesn't impact the day to day lives of the vast majority of people in this country. Richardr is right that most people seem to be concerned about their energy bills and wider cost of living.

Re: GB News
 

Poor, I mean even from you, very poor. It’s a very nuanced discussion, that needs to be discussed.

I would have thought someone of your maturity could see that, but no. Just throw in the right v left attack that achieves absolutely zero.

I’ll await your GIF.

I agree, it is very much in the Twitter verse.

But it is now over spilling into everyday life and discourse. Cancel culture, normalisation in corporations, in child and infant education (most worryingly).

It’s easy and convenient to dismiss, but it is here. To say the majority are worrying about other things is correct, but be warned thing is growing and should be watched…very carefully.
