The irony of being called Andrew Neil and having a career based on moaning about people who take the knee

He looks like an actual pig made of pig

But ... but ... but ... it's a Crusade for Common Sense how can he be wrong?? Clarke's very patient with the tosser.

Indeed, though...why? Calvin's obnoxious (sounds like a poncy aftershave)

Very much vibing Partridge on a Toblerone quest

 

[steeplejack]

It's the dead black eyes that give him away as a proper Tory, as opposed to a misguided insurance salesman / arid local government pedant lacking in political education

I stumbled upon this channel last night while changing channels and noticed farage on there in a discussion with someone in the studio and they were both drinking pints of beer. This further qualifies the observations that it is a channel of functioning alcoholics.

Farage has a feature called 'Talking Pints' during his normal hour long show, he's on holiday ATM, so they seem to have made a compilation of these segments, to broadcast until he graces them with his presence again.

It's strange isn't it? Do they normally take breaks like that for example would he have a month off at LBC?

 

[ska invita]

It's only a week off it's been reported though no return date has been given

These None More British types do seem to take something of what might best be described as a comedic cliché of Continental practices approach to work hours

BBC & Sky both running with rolling coverage of the Kabul airport attack, and GB News was covering...

<drum roll>

...alien life on other planets.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Kabul coverage continues on all news outlets, except GB News, who are playing out repeats of Farage 'talking pints'.

 

[NoXion]

How bizarre. I seem to remember a time when the right would love to jump on stories like that.

wouldn't they need some actual journalists/reporters to be able to cover it though?

Comedian! Wait till he's on with his other comedian friends.
Some people have laughter lines. He has hatred furrows.

Just tuned in. The Big Question with Ann Widdecombe coming up!

I’m going with ‘why are you such a cunt?’

I'll take "Who is a joyless old bag who seems to hate both life and fact in equal measure?"

You reckon? Try procuring 3,000 gallons of it at short notice.

That Thatcher statue in Grantham is due to be unveiled soon isn’t it? Would make the job easy.

That Thatcher statue in Grantham is due to be unveiled toppled soon isn’t it?

Corrected.

Thatcher started all this greed is good nastiness.

 

[krtek a houby]

Thatcher started all this greed is good nastiness.

Nah, that's been a thing for a while. See Ayn Rand and many others.

 

[isvicthere?]

Neil’s obsessed with the word ‘haters’ - he probably thinks it’s some new buzz word that makes him sound hip.

To sound really "with it" he should use the verb/preposition combo "hating on."

Good piece from Stewart Lee, worth reading in full.

On 13 June 2021, at the age of 94 and a half, the respected veteran newsman Andrew Neil stood in a studio in Paddington Basin, lit by some battery-operated torches bought from an all-night garage in the Harrow Road, and sold his soul, and his reputation, to GB News chief executive Roberto Rastapopoulos™®.

What did Andrew Neil want in exchange for his precious essence? Money? Power? Some hair? And what did Andrew Neil get? Public humiliation, the loss of his hard-won reputation, the chance to play second fiddle to Nigel Farage and a tasty feast of hard cheddar, humble pie and human excrement. And no hair.

GB News hangs in there, like a monkey surfing on an ironing board in a torrent of raw sewage, reports of its demise proving exaggerated, to gagging liberals’ dismay.

Farage provides inflammatory content that draws satisfactory crowds of onlookers four times weekly, gawping like superstitious peasants at the ecclesiastical trial of a donkey. And quietly it poisons the discourse a little more each day.

Thanks to the arrival of Nigel Farage at GB News, the veteran newsman now finds himself among the mops and Domestos
