Good news bro, your breakfast has been restored

I'm glad that IKEA, with their multiple shops in Saudi have stopped advertising on GB News on account of them not being in line with their "Humanisitc values"

Their recently deceased Nazi founder would be proud.

It's brilliant for me personally to see people wasting their lives and also thinking this kind of behaviour will help their cause in any way.

Which companies are advertising on there, out of interest?

All these according to the Bishop. Good luck remaining part of the church

Trying to get the anti cancel culture channel, cancelled? Why have these people taken an instant dislike to it?

Really enjoying watching GB News.
Such a refreshing change from BBC + Channel 4 news which I gave up watching years ago.

Or in other words, I like it because they say things I already agree with.

Or in other words, I like it because they occasionally say things I agree with and dont try to brainwash me with 24/7 woke crap.

Caught about ten mins of it over breakfast this morning, was a good debate between presenters/ person interviewed on the idea of care home staff being mandated to have the vaccine if they want a job in the sector – opinions given on both sides of the argument.

As a wider point on news reporting, I want the facts reported, I don’t mind hearing opinions from all corners too as it helps inform, but ultimately I’ll make my own mind up. GB News is another source of news & opinion, so a plus from that perspective.

But you gave up watching the others years ago, so how do you know what they're doing 24/7 ?

You just wait until he gets started on their tacky furniture with woke names. When he tastes one of their sludge filled hot dogs he will literally lose it.

I see their viewers are overwhelmingly working class males over 60.

I assume the GB stands for Gammon Bias

Apparently they've fallen for the old Mike Hunt and Mike Oxlong phone-in gags.

Well they've done a great job of getting press despite their woeful launch and managed to get most of it on the ground they hope to drive viewers (culture war)

Well done internet

I haven’t heard of mike oxlong before

I've signed up to this should at the very least be mildly amusing.

IKEA have been fined €1m for spying on staff.

Ahh, you missed the bit about there advertising in Saudi where they are only allowed to have straight men. No women, gay or trans allowed and of course beheadings are commonplace. Obviously fits in with IKEA's values.

Every time I have flicked over to this channel, it has been showing adverts. Stuck with it for a few minutes and 2 very bland presenters told me nothing very much. However some of the things George Orwell warned about seem frighteningly relevant!

I love the fact that it is catering to its (right wing) constituents and is also gloriously inept, much like our current government. At least they're not killing people.
