This is utterly barbaric, at aged 4, no child should have the mindset that they want to change their sex. But to ban parents to wade in on this strange policy, utterly wrong. This is the kind of view that would not be aired on BBC News or Sky News, because they don't want to upset the woke mob - it's been discussed on GB News - it should be allowed to be said, it's not partisan, it's called free speech.
Free Speech can still be partisan.

And the BBC do cover it. You linked to Question Time above. That particular issue is discussed here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-60214574

I thought it was just 37% ?

Numbers matter, only when it suits though.

I haven't yet watched any Talk TV, I can imagine it's free thinking and it is not afraid of discussing difficult conversations, pretty much like GB News does, Sky News and BBC News don't like upsetting folk so avoid controversial views.

For example - the big issue at the moment is transgenderism - There is nothing wrong saying only women have a cervix and only men have a prostate, yet, the pathetic wokeness of today says it's wrong to say this, when it most certainly is not, because science says so, just ask Professor Robert Winston.

Remember Fiona Bruce ( who got her biology degree from Walmart) countered the good professor with “ there’s many that would disagree with you”.

What’s unkind about saying he watches and likes things that agree with his views, and doesn’t like things that don’t, and the things that don’t agree with his views, he believes are biased

I think the BBC is biased - I believe it gives too much leeway to the Government, and doesn’t (or rarely) ask the "uncomfortable" questions.

Cancelling speakers who don't fit with your audience is not a left, right, woke or non-woke thing. For example, we saw GB News cancel Guto Harri as he took the knee thereby offending many viewers.

GB News seems to have stabilised and luring Nigel Farage has been a big success, even if his views on NATO expansion weren't on-message. But it's loss-making and at the whim of its offshore funders in Dubai and at WBD for its long-term future.

GB News isn't always behind Sky News, they regularly beat them in view count during some time slots.

Anyway, even Piers Morgan show is flopping quite badly, on his debut show with Trump, he had over 400,000 viewers, this dropped to 215,000 on Tuesday night and then last night the viewer count dropped by almost half again to 123,000.

Quote:
Across TalkTV’s other shows, Tom Newton Dunn’s The News Desk crashed to just 15,300 without the star attraction of the PM, and Sharon Osbourne has fallen below five figures to a paltry 9,700 – over five times shy of her Dan Wootton competition.

CNN+ was cancelled last week, barely lasted a month from launch, if this continues for Talk TV, Piers Morgan is suppose to be their flagship star winner, it's in trouble.

He's still a friend and was chastised recently by Piers Morgan for pointing out to Trump the criticisms Morgan had made about Trump which Morgan saw as an attempt to undermine the Talk TV interview.

To clarify the NATO expansion issue, Farage was somewhat off-message in February when he repeated Putin's line that the Ukraine invasion is a ‘consequence of EU and Nato expansion’.

Yup. There also seem to be questions on if they misrepresented the Trump interview for ratings and if Morgan does that to someone he claims to be a friend what trust will other interviewees have in him?

I don't like the way the BBC strives for impartiality and balance at all costs, you don't always have to have the alternative side, if someone tells me it's raining and another that it's not it's not my job to quote them both, it's my job to look out of the window and see which one is true and don't get me started on some of the people they use for balance, an expert with facts, figures and stats to back them up and some twerp of the street with an opinion
