GB News: a thread so you never have to watch it

That curt response could come across as a little...er...defensive? :hmm:

That said, the example of English nationalism rejecting Scottish aspirations that has recently been discussed in the Batley & Spen by-election thread, was this:

Party's anti-Indyref slogan rejected as "offensive"

The founder, Neil Humphrey stood as "Corbyn Anti" in the 2016 B&S by-election following the murder of the previous incumbent at the hands of a fascist nationalist.

That's a nationalist saying 'sod a ref'. Hold the front page.

GBNews is of course not MSM - despite being on every freeview channel and hosted by people who have been paid several hundred grand a year by the MSM for the last several decades.


Absolute outsider channel.

Diff to have it both ways; someone thinks its defending Jeffrey Epstein, another 'its promoting the bad kind of nationalism' (that's English, not Scots), and you want us to accept its MSM.

I doubt any outlet sees this shambles as serious competition.

I was looking at a guide to TV advertising costs the other day, and once you get pass the main stations, there's a massive drop off in rates, even MTV was listed as only getting on average £5-£20 for a peak time 30-second spot. I am assuming the higher price is charged for advertisers specifically selecting & booking on MTV, and the cheaper rate is for otherwise unsold airtime, which is then bundled-up & sold off cheap.

So, the likes of GBN, bundled-up with other tiny stations, and sold off cheap by 'Sky Media', after SM's and the media buyers commissions are deducted, and based on ratings, they will be lucky to be averaging £5 a spot over the 24-hour period, and unlikely to ever cover their tiny £25m a year budget from that.

But, of course, their plan is to recruit 'super-supporters', who would pay around £5 a month for addition 'premium' <giggles> content, with an initial target of recruiting 100,000 mugs, which would be highly surprising IMO, but if they did, that would still only produce £6m a year.

I can see Andrew Neil appealing for investment on Dragons' Den at some point, and getting five replies of, '...and, for that reason, I am out.' :D
 
That's the second time you hve tried to make it personal - please don't be a cunt, even on the internet. Also suggests a weak view point.

I believe that's a key aspect of the business model though 100K seems fanciful even if the BBC has lost £1 billion of license fee income in 2 years.

I'd imagine 20K subscribers would be pretty decent.
 
A week ago, maybe (seen as competition).
But because of the continous incompetence, not anymore.

But, some may argue, that because GB News was able to get one the air, clearly has its supporters and its detractors, that there is definitely a market for a specific 'right leaning' news channel, so maybe in a couple of years, when all this has died down, someone else will have a go.

I mean it could equally fuck up, and if I laugh as much as I have over the past seven days, then I'm looking forward to it!

Surely everyone understands by now Scots nationalism is cool and hip, while English nationalism is snarly and bigoted.

That's about the size of it. But then, Scottish nationalism doesn't seem to have been co-opted by the racist Right in the way English nationalism has.
 
It really is something. We've just gone from a string of adverts for Bullion direct (which look like fucking Citizen Kane compared to what's between the ad breaks) yanked out half way through an ad do watch half a Kate Middleton video on a phone, then two attempts to get a guest that went tits up, now just total fucking rambling.

lol amazing

most of this stuff would have been written off as too farcical by the Drop the Dead Donkey writing team.

It was definitely a penisular when I went there, we had to walk in from the Spanish side (across the airport runway no less). I would have noticed if we had to wade in.

Sorry, who the fuck are you to judge anyone. This is becoming tiresome very quickly.

Not a judgement. Just an observation. And considering you've only been posting since late last night, your skin would seem to be remarkably thin.

Let's face it, if I'm wrong, I'll look silly and you can come and crow at me for being wrong. Won't that be nice?
 
Hosting a discussion featuring a lunatic defending Jeffrey Epstein is quite something. What struck me was the three other guests, all present remotely, just sat there listening as if she was saying the most mundane shit you'd ever heard. None of them had the gumption to speak up or walk. It'll be tough to beat that

Were you recruited to the Left? Have you recruited people to the Left? Is it even possible to be "recruited" to the Left?
