Looks like a few have had trouble logging on and have had to re-register.

All I need to do though is say the magic word and Paul appears - so this should flush out if that account is a fraud.

 

3-2-1 ..... GAMMON !!!!!

wow that couldn’t of landed any better for you. Also to come back and call Gove a visionary suggests to me Paul is on a wind up.

Wasted on me. I’ve only just learnt (and im still not 100%) what a Karen is.

Stay tuned, the ice cream seller will appear and tell you it doesn't exist and to name an example of it, even though he's been given more samples than Pablo's best customer 😉

Rich coming from you and your obsessive Tory bashing nature 😄 

Here's one you will try and defend........

BLM and knee drops are probably the one subject I find even less interesting than Scottish squabbling.

So I can’t help you there.

Some footballers do genuflecting or praying to Mecca on the pitch. I couldn’t give a rats arse what they do. Honestly.

Is it just me that finds the term woke really cringeworthy?

The funny thing is 

The definition of woke basically means being socially aware and tuned in 

Basically the opposite of ignorant 

Yet folk use it as a derogatory term, i think, I've never heard someone refer to themselves as woke, it's used in a similar sense to gammon 

Seems like a vicious circle to me   

It should be positive to be woke by definition, yet it's used as a slur of sorts 

I don't get it

Actually, quite a decent debate on that and how it has turned from its' origins

 Not read it yet but it's probably the same as antifa 

Anti fascism 

Everyone should be anti facism 

I guess antifa has been hijacked

 

All about Andrew Neil.

In other matters, surprised with the silence re Hunter Biden, the BLM people are very quiet indeed 🤔

Anyone watched GB News yet?

It's basically a 24 hour Alan Partridge channel.

The Jeffrey Epstein debate was a breathless piece of comedy.

Watch the news, then watch 10 minutes of GB News. It's like putting gravy on your chips.

I've watched some of it, it's pretty painful. It's very amateur this far, but I'd expect they'll improve over the coming weeks or months. It's clear to see that it's going to be telly for angry people to watch. It's just a channel full of Gammons reporting their personal views as news. It'll do reasonably well for that reason....

Most people moan about the BBC but they tend to stick to facts over opinion. When facts are unpopular people turn to opinion.

GB News fills that slot perfectly.

It'll be funny, but little else.

I've had a gander a couple of times: the sound level was extremely low, hate all the ticker stuff (worse than sky) and frankly it seems they're missing the point. It was meant to be something to reflect much of society, but it seems to be a mirror image of all the 'wokery' they abhor.

Self promotion as antiwoke is the opposite cheek of the same arse- they should just report on stuff, and avoid any of the woke shit or gammonism. Just be fucking normal.

I quite liked listening to the former Australian pm which I caught a moment or two of, but it needs to improve.
