To take you up on one quote you posted:

What was wrong with the "Rivers of Blood" speech? The shock/horror of the time was all play-acting and made at a time when Powell's long range vision wasn't accepted and demographics were different. Now look at the culture mix in the UK and where it's heading with all this immigration. It's a matter of time. When Powell spoke, the UK population was 55m; today it is 67m of which c. 81% is categorised as "White".

I'm really fed up with being made to feel that being "white" in my country is something to be ashamed of.

I've little doubt that I'm now going to be vilified by the virtue signallers on this forum.

There is no virtue signalling is calling a racist a racist.

Mind you the right wing loons aren't that popular anymore. They've had their chance if power for a few years and the country is a shambles.

Populism - be it the Corbyn or Farage flavour - never works as there are always trade-offs. Telling people want they want to hear is one thing, delivering it entirely different.

It's will be easier for people like Rees-Mogg to whinge about the government not finding any Brexit benefits from the comfort of a GB News sofa paid for by a Dubai hedge fund than actually discovering any himself when he was tasked with doing so!

Re: GB News / Talk TV

GB news calls the shambles just like we do here. Journalists/schmournalist - nitpicking.

Not British or Irish - so American, Canadian, Australian/NZ, or European.

White British is an ethnicity classification used for the native white population identifying as English, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish, Northern Irish, or British in the United Kingdom Census

Re: GB News / Talk TV

The few times I have checked out GB news/ Talktv, it indicates its far right leaning, and also interesting we have Tory MPs as well as Farage having slots.

Exactly what is a ‘far right leaning’?

Agreeing with Enoch Powell's racist vision of the UK

Re: GB News / Talk TV

They could really do with some sitcoms on the channel to lighten the mood.
How about reruns of 'Love thy neighbour' , 'Till death do us part' or 'It ain't half hot mum' ?

I believe the repeat fees for Curry and Chips are very reasonable.

I can give examples no problem.

Union rep was been interviewed, young lass as one of the presenters went out on personal attacks on the guy, never seen that kind of behaviour from a tv presenter before, couldnt hide the anti union meta.

Another one with daily mail editor on as guest without anyone to counter him, so was watching for an hour right wing propaganda promoting liz truss.

Others I already mentioned, farage, rees mogg and dorries.

Maybe it is balanced during times I didnt watch, but I can only comment on what I see.

Also this is interesting.

Re: GB News / Talk TV

Are you confusing TalkTV with GBNews?

Two separate organisations…
