*** GB News *** (stay on topic!)

I have only just senn this thread and seen the website.. however....

The problem with budgets are... if you don't spend what you have been allocated, in government, you typically get a REDUCTION the following year, no matter what is planned.
So... people INTENTIONALLY spend the full amount of their budgets so they don't get left short. e.g. putting in mini-roundabouts just to get the budget fulfilled.

The intentional -unneeded- spending is almost certainly what they are referring to.

So, why do they make sure they spend the full amount? Because getting the money back after it has been reduced is hell. (no excuses, as I see problems on both sides).

Explain it to me again, like I am 5 this time [/the us office reference]

Just watched a few mins, was 5 mins straight of ads and then a shot of a plant in the corner while they introduced the next guest

One of the ads was for Richmond's meat free range, I bet that angered most of their target audience.

Just awful.

Ads are paid to be there, and you remembered it - so job done.

Where did I say that the adverts weren't doing their job?

It’s to mess with the lefties who have vowed to boycott advertisers

Have you read

The Greater Britain: Amazon.co.uk: Mosley, Oswald: 9781913176235: Books ?

It would make an interesting analogy to certain ministers in todays government

"Broadcast said 57% of GB News’ opening show’s audience was male, while 52% were aged 65 years or older and 82% were from the ABC1 demographic."

Literally, old white, affluent males.

Basically an advertisers wet dream then.

 

[robfosters]

interesting choice ; Moseley?

I didn’t say far right did I?

 

[Tony Edwards]

I didn’t say far right did I?

You didnt need to.

So moving on. That GBN is utter ********.

When is Laurence Foxs show on?

 

[Scougar]

Would be nice if there was a news channel that was more like the BBC of old. e.g. not so blatantly biased in their reporting.

So no answer then?

British Fascism wasn't necessarily Far Right , until the rise of Hitler and Nazism - neither was Mussolini's (until Hitler got his claws in, in the late 1930`s) - in fact Italy was a haven for fleeing Jews - Mussolini's mistress was also Jewish. Ideologies of the Right as just as nuanced as those on the Left - uless you happen to be a media outlet with a message and paper to sell....

How can they tell who's actually watching the show? is there a camera on every TV or is it just by who pays the bills in the house?
So maybe the young ones still living at home are watching it?
Genuine question as I don't know how that works.

Its not something that bothers me either way.

Seriously, we just had some girl on here saying that there are too many blacks and gays on TV yet here you are going on about gammon. Get a grip man.

Well I’m certainly not far right or a fascist.

They said that on GB news?

Sure.

DO you think democracy has severed its purpose or as Plato would suggest, is useless as its nothing more than mob rule , out of order for a society.

 

[Chuk_Chuk]

Sure.

Doesn't that work both ways

 

[Harlequin]

Sure.

Its populism and the liberal world of freedoms and values, to some, are getting in the way of society - and thats both the left and right. Hence why we have `********` and other expressions of those freedom of speech.
