GB News (New British News Network)

*Precision I have no political affiliation. I subscribe to no political dogma or movement. I have highlighted this new news channel as a much needed antidote to the partisan news we are currently subjected to. Will it be free from bias? No, but at least we all get to see the extremes of both sides of the political divide. I get my news from an entirely independant team  who are committed to delivering non-partisan, professional journalism. Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar. It's a fearless anti-establishment Youtube show and podcast with contributors from across the political divide. Their aim is to cut through the media bias. Breaking Points Non-Partisan News & Analysis Precision*

Britain's got a new TV network. The new British network has vowed to fight "cancel culture" and reflect voices not heard in the partisan mainstream media and state-controlled BBC. A spokesperson for GB News said its aim was to "puncture the pomposity of our elites in politics, business, media and academia and expose their growing promotion of cancel culture for the threat to free speech and democracy that it is". 

Cancel Culture is the term given to left-wing and left-leaning attempts at suppressing of free expression and political diversity by permanently shaming and ostracising individuals who threaten their political and social orthodoxy.

  • There are no heroes on either side of the political divide. There are, however, scores of villains.

    Here are the historical facts: 

    1. The *** were ardent socialists (hence the term "National socialism").
    2. They believed in free health care and guaranteed jobs.
    3. They confiscated inherited wealth and spent vast sums on public education.
    4. They purged the church from public policy, promoted a new form of pagan spirituality.
    5. They *** declared war on smoking, supported abortion, euthanasia, and gun control.
    6. They loathed the free market, provided generous pensions for the elderly.
    7. They maintained a strict racial quota system in their universities--where campus speech codes were all the rage.
    8. They led the world in organic farming and alternative medicine. 
    9. Hitler was a strict vegetarian.
    10. Himmler was an animal rights activist.

    Fascism was an international movement that appeared in different forms in different countries, depending on the vagaries of national culture and temperament.  Woke supremacy is as malign as white supremacy because they share the same nefarious intellectual roots. It is hard to deny the similarities between modern progressivism and classical fascism. In the early 20th century, fascism appeared as genocidal racism within the socialist movements of Europe.  In the late 20th century and early 21st century it has taken on a "friendlier" form.  If we can't learn from the past, we are doomed to keep repeating the same horrors and injustices in the future.

  • Lefty, shlefty, who cares. With the ***, who wanted to create the perfect society and a perfected humanity, it is by their fruits that you know them.

    Opponents to the Nazi regime soon started 'disappearing.' That's not lefty, nor rightly, that's totalitarianism. Wilhem Reich always said it didn't matter whether a movement was left or right, you had to watch how it treated its dissidents. And whether or not it needs scapegoats. 

    Humans deemed a drain on society were soon being quietly taken away and euthanized for the good of this perfect society, children too. Including those with autism.........

    Those who traditionally voted Labour but swung to the Tories should have focused on changing Labour instead of selling the UK down the river. To yet more inequality, poverty, the scapegoating of the poor. And currently bankruptcy of farmers and fishermen and any other kind of small business that needed to be able to trade with Europe. The right to trade, work and live in 27 other countries That too is a well-known tactic of those who don't generally have the best interests of its people at heart - appealing to nationalism, which some define as a form of narcissism. I am poor, I am uneducated, I will never climb out of the inner-city hole/decaying seaside town I was born in, but hey..... I am British (bang chest). Now where are those furriners I can go and blame for all those woes. Let's twist everything round and listen to those spewing out hate and disinformation from the trolls farms to help appease my sense of aggrievement and make out it is the very people who wanted more equality who are to blame.

  • When someone makes statements like these, Turtle, claiming they know your motivations, know how you feel, know what you think, or know what you want, it's a very clear form of covert verbal abuse. Like suggesting to someone they have a mental health condition because you don't agree with their world view.

    If you are doing it intentionally, then it's a very sinister trait indeed.  As this is now a repeated behaviour you engage in, I won't be engaging with in any further discussions on this topic or others. 

    I don't know what statements you are referring to. YOU started this topic or thread for what reason ? Was it for people to argue ? Was it for attention ? I could be wrong, but from what I gather it is about journalism and the media ? If so, I haven't found anything you have posted thus far about journalism or the media in any way enlightening, beneficial, new or progressive to human beings in general ? What is your intention or point ? That's how i work. How do you operate ?

    Am I missing something ?

  • ah.... so you think the tories invented austerity? ... youd give them that much credit? .... thats a insult and disgrace to better people..... wasnt it the romans that created austerity as a means of management? .... dont attribute something that better people created to the tories lol modern governments these days have no unique ideas and are all copying the foundation that rome made.

    any that doesnt commit austerity, is incompetant... and this we say in gordon browns collapse where he left and bankrupt the country and said we have no money at all which then forced us by no choice at all to commit to austerity

  • I don't see the problem with attributing austerity to the Tories, unless you don't think it's fair to judge the Tories by their words and actions over the last 10+ years, as well as that of their voter base. 

  • I think Nexus11 was making an ironic point about the incongruity between British values like 'sticking together' in the face of the divisiveness of the current era. 

  • you attribute austerity to british tories?

    yet again another thing lefties have absolutely no knowledge on before thy speak then..... austerity was around for time immemorial and is a normal procedure of any nation to ballance the books.... the EU nations also were going through austerity and some still are now.... but yeah media scum and lying lefties have painted it as a bad thing and something only tories do lol its rather funny because that paints them as politically incompetent, kinda like a car driver saying he hates brakes and only car drivers he hates use brakes and no other car driver ever needs to use the brakes...

  • Dunkirk spirit:  The spirit of the British public pulling together to overcome times of adversity.

    Over eight days in May 1940, hundreds of thousands of Allied troops stranded in northern France were rescued by boat and taken back to England. Some were rescued by military boats, other had to wait for hours, stood shoulder to shoulder in the water, to wait for the flotilla of fishing boats, lifeboats and civilian sail boats hastily assembled by people back in Britain. The story of the rescue against the odds and the conditions that the soldiers endured has entered into British lore, to the extent that people in the U.K. today still talk of the “Dunkirk Spirit.”

    I'd like to say I was surprised that you see this as a negative trait. But I'm not. It's typical of the Leftist mentality and anti-British ideology. You even see the rescuing of British soldiers during World War II as negative. 

  • Your judgments about another person say more about your own character than the character of the person you are pointing a finger at. 

  • When someone makes statements like these, Turtle, claiming they know your motivations, know how you feel, know what you think, or know what you want, it's a very clear form of covert verbal abuse. Like suggesting to someone they have a mental health condition because you don't agree with their world view.

  • Very negative if such austerity is self inflicted because of delusions of sovereignty, voting for governments that cannibalise their own people

  • Finally something I can agree with. Having spent decades in an abusive pseudo religious cult I can say that the first part of recovery is loosing the vocabulary. Trumpist words like woke and cancel culture control thought, and perhaps this side of the fence uses similar jibber jabber words, meaningless political brainwashing propaganda words...

    I know we all think we're not brainwashed but I have to say that all people are to some degree or another. Words are the key to controlling people.

  • Johnny Furriner,

    You're even using the same derisive political slang as one another. Too much time in the same echo chambers?

  • British Dunkirk spirit, making do, sticking together.

    Are these negative traits in your eyes?

  • I do not and will not have any fake accounts.  I prefer to stick to the facts. I don't need anything for that. 

  • Oh, so that didn't last long, did it now? You're back to your old tricks, aidie, downvoting me. Would you like me to expose your new fake account? Or do you want to try and delete it first?

  • I have not yet had a chance. It would require me to watch more T.V. than I do.

    I'm already maxed out with information coming in.

  • Turtle, the trouble with viewing everything through such a narrow partisan lens of hatred for the other side, is that you stupidly find yourself defending positions and taking stances on issues NOT because of any real conviction, but simply because it is the opposite to what the other side.

    That could be very true,( for those not capable of thinking  for themselves or actually believing  3 word slogans which is why I always ask such persons what would they like to  see happen in the future ? What would they change ? what would they do differently ? 

    It is one thing complaining and then taking sides, but it is a whole different story to ask yourself who you are ? 

  • Why not give it a chance before we condemn it out of hand just on the adverts?

    You don't get it yet. 

  • Actually, I bet all the above will have to be salted with a bit of truth, just to add much needed credibility.

    Why not give it a chance before we condemn it out of hand just on the adverts? Anyway, a disquieting amount of "fake news" and "conspiracy theory" turns out to be factual these days, doncha know?

    4 little words: Jane. Standley. Building. Seven. That's fake news for you...
