GBNews: anyone watching?

[Flagship]

GB News has a huge amount of followers. Dan Wooten was put in an awkward situation by Fox and it's unfair that he is suspended. Hopefully he'll get his job back soon but I don't expect their viewing figures to dip because he's not there.

Please will you define 'huge' in this context?
Dan Wootton was undoubtedly put in an awkward situation but surely he must have known Fox's misogynistic outpouring was 'crossing the line' in terms of the language and sentiment. Yet he didn't challenge it. He is GB's creature and he let his employers down. In my view he should have retained some dignity/probity and resigned, thereby avoiding the sack.
However, I do agree with your statement that GB News will continue to attract the same apparently 'huge' audience as before. After all, the same core audience is bound to be attracted to the thoughts of Farage and Rees-Mogg....

Yep. Cant disagree with any of that.

Huge as in very popular. More popular than Sky News. Can't give you any figures but very big in my local pub.

Which is why, of course, you love it. Straight out of the Dr Fox book of facts:

How's it hanging, down the Blind Beggar, these days?

Say it ain't so, @Flagship. Say it ain't so.

Incidentally is your local boozer, the one where everyone is glued to GB news, the Blind Beggar?

No mate. We're in the Red Wall.

He will jolly well tell it like it is, and let's not talk this great country down, and, I say, that's a smashing blouse you're wearing.

Much more informative to watch Jonathan Pye.

Looks like GB News is determined to gather and enlist all the worst in British public life.

Amen.

Haven't read all of this but will say I watch Headliners, the newspaper review hour. Much better than the BBC or Sky equivalents.

They don't like free speech on there.
