So, they join the Co-Op, who never admitted they were going to boycott GBN, but disappeared off it anyway, sensible thing to do.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Apparently Sainsbury’s had just one campaign on GBN, to promote a special offer on gammon.

Having failed to get a sponsor for their weather forecasts, they have now got poor Sky Media to peddle the opportunity to sponsor their sports reports, you know the ones with very limited footage available for them to show, because the BBC, ITN & Sky have refused them permission to use their pooled footage, so an exciting opportunity to be associated with shit sport coverage.

But, this is what gets me...

Their bolded bits, WTF? The cheek of these cunts.

I wonder if the Advertising Standards Authority investigate complaints about broadcasters that make false claims in adverts, in an attempt to sell sponsorship/advertising?

I'll have to e-mail the ASA to find out.

I'm no expert, but why would they launch a 'news' channel during the dog-days of the summer recess when there's no actual news?

Maybe to avoid the challenge of actual news?

I imagine the meeting focused on the idea that everyone would be at home either locked down or forbidden holidays so they would be primed and ready for a new choice as they festered in front of the box. The no news thing (everybody knows there's no news in the summer) never figured in such an ego driven team. They just knew that their charm and personality would shine through

Cleary you are over estimate GB News Ambitions

its more about Dog Whistle racisim and flag shagging than news

its why most of the people on it are from the brexit party

Prick's at it again. According to frog face, if you donate to RNLI you are helping to buy burkinis and not a new raft.
Someone needs to take that cunt out.

Pimlico fucking Plumbers on GB News. A match made in gammon heaven.

 

[Teaboy]

Mullins? That name sounds familiar. I wonder how Ashley Mullins got his promotions to Assistant General Manager?

 

[cupid_stunt]

Ashley Mullins is grandson of Charlie Mullins, a regular on GBN.

You've got to laugh at how pathetic they are. Jusy look at that headline and the smugness they must feel, 'Hur Hur this'll wind up those wokies' forgetting the fact that pretty much anyone who founded anything 200+ years ago had links to the slave trade. Weak, barrel scraping shit it surely can't be long now until its binned.

What utter claptrap. Why would you even interview a fucking plumber about office work.

Oh that's right, because Charlie and his crank festival are on your sad wavelength of reactionary bullshit.

This isn't journalism, it's an echo chamber

He's not a plumber he's the boss's grandson who has been given the role of lording it over desk-serfs and plumbers alike.

It's on the RNLI website that Sir William Hillary who founded the RNLI in 1824 (I didn't realise it had been going that long) inherited a slave plantation which he sold to George Hibbert who was a major funder of the RNLI. Hillary was apparently buddies with William Wilberforce (you know the guy who spent his life working to abolish slavery) as well.
However one may condemn the slave trade it's petty clutching at straws even by Farage's standards to claim that the actions of two centuries ago by people long dead discredits the actions of people alive today.

I don't care, he's a cunt. A mullinscunt.

No one did because no one was holding them.

Yes, take him 15 miles out to sea, cast him adrift in leaking pedalo and see if he can overcome this qualms about calling the RNLI.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Probably still bitter that they sent him out for some elbow grease and a long weight on his first day

 

[glitch hiker]

Yeah but he's not a plumber.

Is he trapped under a cow?

The goal for 'The Flying Farage' fund raiser has been increased from £100k to £150k, and is now on over £116k.

8th August update:

From your feedback, it’s clear that calling it ‘The Flying Farage’ is going to be tricky. For starters, there is a risk that Nigel will just sit back and bask in the glory of his named vessel being out saving lives, and there’s also the fact that I’ve been told by serving volunteers in no uncertain terms that it’s just generally a terrible idea.

However, there’s nothing to stop us being a little more subtle with the name, such as ‘The Flying Milkshake’ or anything else you can come up with to show that this sort of attack on the RNLI from the ‘hard right’ is just plain twatty.
