ewerk 30633 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 So after being publicly told to fuck off by the USA we want to join both an Asian and a North American free trade agreement. As for that European free trade agreement right on our doorstep? Nah, fuck those guys. It’s as desperate as it is stupid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21636 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I rarely watch News Night but I saw this last night. "Lord" Hannan is a fucking know nothing moron, even by Brexiteer standards, yet he always seems to be on this program. Boyle put him in his place though with some style. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35095 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Tell you what though, Johnson and co. played a blinder throwing their lot in with Trump. Firstly because he lost, secondly because he wouldn’t have done us any favours anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, read what Alex said again and stop being a dafty. Any criticism of the government is demoted to niche programs no bugger watches. It's not a conspiracy, it's visible in plain daylight. It's a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21941 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I think you have to put it in context, right? It’s facing a licence review by a government with an unequivocal anti-BBC agenda. It’s future is in more doubt than ever before. In that context it’s almost a surprise there isn’t more of this stuff going on. I think despite all of this it’s still doing a better job than most of you lot seem to. I watch newsnight every night.

Dr Gloom 21941 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Channel 4 will be sold too although to be fair beyond a little watched nightly news programme they've largely stopped making quality TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They add should make a special series of goggle box for you tbh. But to be fair, I prefer watching the BBC to the German tv channels but mainly because of the great documentaries.

Rayvin 5223 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) I think the BBC is in trouble, aware that it's not long for this world if public opinion remains as it does, and is pandering as best it can. It has a choice to make. It can be be truthful and honest, and be disbanded by the government to the cheers of right wing fuckmuppets everywhere, or it can pander to them until its not recognisable as anything other than a Daily Mail variant, having long since been abandoned by intelligent people and yet still despised by the ageing boomers it yearns for the approval of. Seems like it's chosen the latter. Edited September 22, 2021 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson's press secretary? Right, so that part I agree with. A lot of “the PM says” and “according to s Downing Street source” when Cummings was running the show, without enough hard analysis. But she isn’t paid to tell us what she thinks because she’s a reporter, not a commentator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
