That's fucking brilliant, best so far. Seriously where do they find these people?

The Seagulls and the Gammon Pensioners need to arrange a meeting in Scarborough to sort their war out. There has been a lot of fish and chip stealing, followed by retaliatory attacks from the Pensioners. A Scarborough Pensioner has said the Gulls arent happy with just having the chippies, seafronts and piers but they now want the shopping centres too, he said they had better come " tooled up ".

One on one? You're crazy.
It also seems very dark in the studio.He thinks their sound problems are down to a lack of "state of the art sound equipment"?
I suspect that someone with a bunch of webcams and a pile of open source software could do a better job than they're managing right now, assuming it was being operated by someone moderately competent. It's not state of the art gear they need, but halfway capable operators.
I do wonder if this is the side-effect of the neoliberal right wing tendency to see workers as dispensible, interchangeable drones, whose expertise is irrelevant. After all, since so many of them seem to perceive experts as part of the problem, why on earth WOULD they hire an expert sound or video person? Far better to find someone with the "correct" political views and untainted by contact with the establishment.
I was prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt because it's an easy slip of the tongue when doing live TV where you're obviously new to the gig. Thing is though she was reading off her notes as she said it. Bizarre.

They are on a tight budget, and keeping an eye on their electric use.

I think they've cheaped out on the lighting and couldn't turn it up even if they wanted to.

It does look like she's giving the middle fingers, but in fact she's crossing her fingers, hoping her mic would work as it was her time to talk, and his mic had just failed, and you couldn't hear anything he was saying.
The Metro has some good screen-shots of spelling cock-ups in their text captions...
GB News suffers another blunder as it couldn't even spell Laurence Fox right
There has been mistake after mistake.

I fully support giving dyslexic people a chance, being one myself, but perhaps not when it comes to updating captions on a live 'news' station.

I had it on for quite a bit last night. The sound is so low, how can it take so long to fix?
Also looks shite in SD on Freeview, especially given BBC, Al Jaz, and RT all manage HD but the weird dark set and Andrew Neil in his shipping container is doing it no favours. The Sunak interview with a poorly positioned mic was just terrible.
I wonder if the Murdoch alternative might be back on? They must be laughing.

I'm guessing that the GBeebies demographic is similar to Moneysupermarket's.
Most of these boycotts are not anything to do with being against GBN, but is just following the cash. The point the right-wing snowflakes seem to miss is that these companies are not boycotting out of 'wokeness' but boycotting them as those companies believe supporting GBN will hurt the company's bottomline and it is their supporters are the ones who are out of touch*. The only one that surprises me is Co-op.
I'm not that fussed either way who advertises or not, but the reaction from GBN's supporters in fun to see.

Some folk are claiming this(ad boycott) is an attack on free press 
, surely a totally free press doesn't need ad revenue?
And GBnews will know about the power of the grift , having seen Farage/Tommy Robinson coin it in, a subscription service will arrive with exclusive premium content

Like many others, they were just pausing their ads, they never said they would boycott it, their original message was...

He's moved back, I think. Maybe that's enough to get him just a spell in the Tower instead.

The way its worded seems to give them a get out either way. It's classic PR management.

They're all trotting out the 'we need time to understand this new channel line'. One, how long does it take one to understand they're bigoted arseholes and two, Channel 4 has always been funded with as revenue from the word go and they were pretty contraversial from the off.
