Assuming viewers of any TV programme have a brain , watching and listening is the first step in learning . News is manipulated in one direction or another by each and every news channel/paper/site . There are some presentators on every channel that are not so well liked , but then the government in the UK was voted in by the people too.

1 year old today, and some said it would never last. And soon it will learn to walk, talk and feed itself. I've never watched it but Scottish Twitter is "keen" on Neil Oliver. That boy needs psychiatric intervention more than he needs a haircut. He's a geologist who is touted as a historian and a political analyst. He is neither a historian nor a political analyst. If he represents the standards of GB News, it will never walk, talk nor feed itself. Like much of its audience I imagine. I guess it's good that not just women in the public eye are judged on appearance, perhaps you're points scoring for the feminist movement. By the way I love the 'I've never watched it but......' hahaha, keep it up please.

However the decision on this horrendous government has been made three times in the same period. Don't you just love stupidity. 😉

Don’t talk of stupidity or ‘twill never end😀
Half a million (as quoted on Radio 4, but I reckon maybe 200k...) to get a 767 to Rwanda and only 8 expelled migrants on board ( three are appealing, so watch this space) - but hey, it is a deterrent to those trying to enter illegally! Hell, thousands are entering every week and a nuclear power entity can only change the numbers by eight (maybe five tonight)! I think the half mill is better spent supplying food banks… but what do I know!
It is good, says the fat rank one, to break international law ( on the protocol) as it shores up domestic support! But at what cost?
Brexitland! Stupidity? Nah. Business as usual🤣

That's the official line For quite a few years before my departure I got the distinct impression that it was the press and the media that decided elections. Very effective manipulation of the voting public. It seems to be going the same way here If people are underwhelmed by the choices between one lot of greedy, lying, self-serving bar stewards and the others, they could easily be overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of opinion and information available nowadays. Judging by the abstention figures this year in France, it seems that a lot have just given up and washed their hands of the whole business.

Not knowing enough about French politics to make a ( in my mind) good choice. I will probably vote in the second round , now that there are just two candidates left in our district , and I know which one I don't want !

I voted, but the one I definitely didn't want to win (le député sortant) came unstuck in the 1st round, so I've got the opposite dilemma to you next Sunday If the Left hadn't teamed up with the ecolos, I might have succumbed, but no chance now!

Rice - remember him? brexit champion back in the day? Re-acting to ECHR blocking the flight to Rwanda on GB News last night, decrees that brexitland should get out of the clutches of the EHCR as it is all a waste of time. This would put brexitland alongside Belarus as the only two countries in mainland Europe without any civilised human rights recourse. The Met police will be rubbing their hands in gleeful hope..

GB News, difficult to fathom , some " news readers" are obviously royalists and some obviously right-wing , some brexit/UKIP . Then they say that it is a non-biased news programme ! At times in the mornings they are quite entertaining , evening watching is not my cup of tea.

That is an excellent report Nifty. I have a great admiration for Carole Cadwalladr so I was especially pleased to read .. 'Given the intensity of her cross examination and the magnifying glass applied to her investigation – everything she read, said, and wrote over three years - Ms Cadwalladr might have expected to be greater criticised. That she was not is an encouragement to her and the vital role of fearless reporting in the public interest.'
Gosh though .. the amount of stress she has been put through during the last couple of years.

n.b.
‘ Meaning This raises the awkward question of meaning in libel cases. In an attempt to replicate how an ordinary reasonable reader would understand the words, the law has developed a convoluted, awkward, and often inappropriate mechanism that adopts the fiction that every publication has a single meaning. In reality, different people interpret things differently. It often depends on who they are, where they are, what else they read, their mood and so on. In a world where there are multitudinous versions of the ‘truth’, it is rather naïve for the law to assume that there exists one meaning, understood by a reasonable reader who is neither ‘avid for scandal’ nor ‘unduly cynical’ (as the older case law requires).’
