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. 

  • Turtle, I'm not playing this party is worse than that party game with you any more. Both Parties have an equal amount of corrupt politicians in their ranks and both have an equal amount of fanatics who defend and support them. I support neither of them. I make my decisions on election days based on the aggregate of their current policies and their performance in the years leading up to the election.

    Your political views are not shaped by conviction, but by what is the opposite view of 'the Tories'. I've pointed out to you the hazards of this kind of immature partisanship. You end up defending the political positions of your favourite party that are 180° away from the ones they held previously.  And so, nothing you have to say has any meaning or substance because it's not arrived at by your own intelligent, impartial analysis.

    If, tomorrow, The Labour Party were to declare its support for replacing English with French as the UK's official language, and The Conservative Party opposed it, within 24 hours, you'd have found enough slogans and left-wing talking points to back the policy to the hilt.

    The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function -

  • nope, christianity was the first with the rainbow i think... from what we know of... or perhaps joseph with his technicolour dream coat? lol dunno which came first the flood thing or josephs coat lol not that it matters, im agnostic lol only used the EU and rainbow flag because i know people who hate on the british flag would be outraged and call it bigoted if they saw a person burn any of those flags instead lol i like to flip it like that, it inspires critical thinking..... or they miss the point and it just inspires them to hate me for it? lol which is probably why i get banned from everywhere.

    anyways a those that burn the british flag are discarding the british group and history and everything good we have done and thus they should also discard their free nhs treatments too and everything the british group provides really. they should discard all that if they burn the flag. if they are doing a rejection of britain then they should do it right and reject our free health care too and put their money where their mouth is on the matter.

  • there are lot of unpaid amateur politicians in this forum now. They will achieve nothing but increasing their own suffering. If they were serious about politics they should join a political party and see who votes for them.  

    You can wave a flag if u want but whats the point if no one votes for you ?

    BTW the rainbow flag also represents the Rainbow brigade/regiment of USA in WW1. They were "Rainbow" because they took allsorts of people. So they where the first? with the rainbow flag. 

  • alot do though. but who benefits of spreading this hate of ones country? .... we can see who in looking at the flags the ones who hate on their own country wave, they wave around old russian soviet union flags... and it becomes very clear they are a russian subversion force used to spread hate and division and hate of ones country to topple ourr country and destroy us all. they need to reflect and see this for they are just gonna walk right into our enemies hands and lower the quality of life drastically.

  • depends on country ---- dont do anything to the american flag in USA  !

  • what do we get from the EU flag or the rainbow flag? and is it ok to symbolically burn them as a rejection of what they stand for? 

  • Brainnwashjed perhaps |? What exactly do you get from a flag /? 

  • There couldn't be a human being that could disagree with anything  you said. The only reason  otherwise would be brainwashing/conditioning from ignorant  arrogant people.  

  • 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?

  • why cant you say "so what?" to "they were socialists" .... why do you have to gate keep socialism? do you want to make excuses for nazism to return again under the same guise? 

    I'm not gate-keeping anything apart from facts . N@zis murdered everyone - Full stop.  Are you admirer  of Hitler and his crazy bullshit ?

    anyway he also missed out they was anti colonial too and used anti-colonial ideas because all their future enemies were imperial nations with colonies so it made sense for them to be anti-colonial. you know they promsied the native americans if they rose up or them they would help them kick out the europeans and give them america back? .... you know they promised similar things to the scottish too and the SNP mysteriously was created at the time hitler was subverting nations for his future plans?

    not that it all matters anyway, "so what" is literally a good response. denial isnt a good response though. denying things from that period often becomes a illegal act lol

    and how was the billionaires? .... do you know history? .... they got to power through activism.... they wasnt millionaires, not a single person in germany was because germany was in hyper inflation at the time and money was worthless and people were dying of starvation on the streets, this got hitler his opportunity through activism to promise to fix it.... and you know how he fixed that? .... by diplomatically force annexing neighboring countries in which upon annexation he stole the wealth of those countries to fix germanys economic problems.... so yes, he did infact steal and confiscate wealth to fix germanys problems... and yes, thats very socialist of him to do lol socialism is all about stealing others wealth to fix your problems.... even his idea of fair distribution of land was a socialist idea of wealth redistribution.... how else do you think these violent ideas of socialists such as redistribution of wealth would work? ....those are violent ideas that result in stealing and war...

    A bit more experience as a human being on this planet is required from you before you start big questions. 

  • 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...

  • If you're going to use other countries as a comparison, you need to first make sure your facts are accurate, Turtle.

    Which facts are inaccurate ? I never mentioned German Health Care as far as I'm aware ? I did mention German Education though and that is free from cradle to grave for all German citizens, as it is in most Nordic countries. In the Uk you can pay up to £9,000 per year just for a degree. So £27,000 + accommodation + living expenses etc etc.  On top of that, all the above mentioned countries enjoy a higher standard of living, the benefit system is less brutal, maternity leave for both parents longer, state supported and funded up to 18 months in some countries I believe and kids don't start school to later ( something I believe you had made comments on previously regarding kids not having time to be kids ). 

    I think we also work longer hours than most EU countries.

    Hysterical people, those who thrive on drama and attention-seeking and self-centered people,  don't like facts or reality though do they ? That is the targeted audience of hate-filled, propaganda.  

    But I can guarantee you now that not one of these topics will be discussed on your shiny, new ' News ' network led by a right-wing propagandist ( for hire ) with dyed hair. 

    All you'll be fed with is, Johnny Furriner, immigration, conspiracy theories not facts, Thatcherite ignorant and arrogant  kitchen table economics of austerity and other scare-mongering of fiscal debt/who is going to pay for all this/ there is no magic money tree and of course, the right-wing always need a bogey man to rule by fear so I imagine it will be ' the big bad EU ' or until they find another candidate.
