GB News Launch

[FlyingJesus]

Interesting (although not unsurprising) that your response is nonsense upon nonsense where you think of yourself as a poor victim and totally brave for saying science is wrong.

No I do not think only one view should be on TV and literally said that it's nice to have options, but I think if you're calling yourself a news outlet then you should focus on facts rather than monologues of lies and opinion pieces, especially on your opening show

Aaaand of course you think "gammon" is somehow magically racist rather than being about the redness of angry blustering people, which happens to people of all ethnicities

What science? The vulnerable have been vaccinated and the virus will continue to circulate as well as continue to mutate, just as we said it would all along like the flu. Nowhere in "the science" does it state that we have to stay locked up forever to protect against a flu while our hospitals are EMPTY.

You're confusing your preferred (draconian) political choices and responses to the virus with science.

The Guardian gives GB News a 1 star rating. They must be doing something right.

It's thus far annoyed the Guardian and you. As the old saying goes, it has annoyed all the right people.

The BBC, Sky News and C4 aren't going to get away with their pro-lockdown, pro-woke, anti-British agenda anymore. Not now that we have a choice.

You know fully well that the gammon jibe comes from making fun of middle-aged white men.

Decent viewing figures even with some of the technical mishaps.

Very similar to how Fox News revolutionised the stale mainstream TV media in the US during the 1990s/2000s.

🚀GB News was more watched than BBC News and Sky News last night. https://t.co/Av94m6VB2F

Thanks for (as usual) telling me what I think instead of listening to what I've actually said. There really is no point talking to you, you have no desire to even bother learning

All you do it throw out silly lines you've picked up from Twitter about gammon and Fox News.

I have to say I did listen to you but wasn't impressed with what I was hearing.

[FlyingJesus]

Again telling me how I think and yes clearly you weren't impressed, which is why you made up things that I hadn't said instead

I would give this channel a chance if it wasn't for Dan Wooten and Laurence Fox too. And it has nothing to do with Twitter or anything like that, just the fact both of these guys aren't worth my viewing time.

Dan Wooten targetted Mel B when she was in an abusive marriage to Stephen Belafonte and kept sniping away at her about it. Should be encouraging people stuck in these horrible abusive relationships rather than attacking them and adding futher misery to them. Whatever you want to say about Mel B in regards to her marriage (I'm not exactly a huge fan of hers) you don't continually try and make this public. It could've put her in more danger actually, but because she's a celebrity he felt the need to continue with his actions.

And Laurence Fox is a proven homophobic which as someone in the LGBT community, wouldn't really go down so well with me!

Great figures on @GBNEWS Andrew Neil show last night. Number one in time slot (again). Three times audience of Sky News. 26% more than BBC News Channel. And we’ve only just begun.

Looks like the channel has got off to a great start. Even better is the news that Channel 4 (and therefore C4 News) is to be privatised by the government.

It's been great to see people being given a voice to oppose the ridiculous masks, social distancing and quarantine rules the fat blonde muppet of a PM invented.

I tried watching but the set is as depressing as the news itself. I disagree with pretty much everything it promotes however that's the beauty of free speech.

[Kardan]

At least there is one constant in my occasional visit to HxF...

I wonder if the current affairs section will still be like this in another 20 years...

Wait - when did current affairs go?
