Take off and nuke the entire site from orbit


only way to be sure

 

[Serge Forward]

Jesus, I just clicked on that. It really is the worst thing ever

 

[8ball]

Wtf.

 

[pesh]

That TV studio must have more ambulances on standby than Creamfields.

 

[belboid]

Interesting bit in Private Eye (I'll scan it later, maybe) - they're getting rid off all the loons cos Murdoch wants to take it over and merge it with TalkTV.

 

[two sheds]

there'll be nothing left

 

[Raheem]

Merge as in buy it and kill it.

 

[existentialist]

Nice to see the proud gammons standing up for proper usage of their mother tongue . What's wrong with "biased", rather than "bias"?

 

[Ax^]

who is that to the left behind Nigel

the king of the gammons

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Bell and Spurling, they of "Sven Sven Sven" fame. Looking like they've spent life since then complaining about foreigners speaking Spanish while living on the Costa Del Sol, jetting back home just long enough to vote for Brexit.

"snooker loopy nuts are we, we are snooker loopy, pot the red and screw back for the yellow green blue pink, but not black, too many of them, they come over here, scrounging. WHy are they all men of fighting age?"

 

[prunus]

What the suffering fuck?

I think it's time to partition the UK, and I want to live in the bit that doesn't have them in it.

What about all the loons at TalkTV?

 

[DotCommunist]

keep getting talktv mixed up with times radio. All in the 'avoid at all costs' catagory.

TalkTV/radio is well worth avoiding, but Times Radio is a reasonable listen TBH.

Clearly trying to corral some all in the one place prior to the 'take off and nuke it from orbit' instructions

Surely there’s no better place than Whitehall for that kind of plan..

 

[skyscraper101]

He’s well versed in lying and bullshittery so it’s a fitting match.

 

[Raheem]

One way or another, that's gonna be the end of GB News.

Entertainingly unflattering profile of Calvin Robinson in the Times
Calvin Robinson: the anti-woke cleric too reactionary for GB News - Times (archived)

(...) he explains that he’d long expected to be fired from GB News. The channel had “a horrible toxic vibe” and was riven by an internal “civil war” between a handful of hardcore right-wing presenters intent on pushing the boundaries of what it was possible to get away with saying on a terrestrial television station, and their normie opponents who were only “there because it’s a job”. (...)

The logic of his career demands that he must adopt ever more outlandish positions in order to maintain a hold on the frenetic and fractured attention of the internet. Some view him as a cynical operator. Unfortunately, I think he is sincere. Or at least foolish enough to mistake his own need for attention for high moral principles.
