Well none of those that wanted to believe it did. When did you realise you were so easily played? Tomorrow? In other news Steve refused to read his copy of Animal farm because he thought anyone with a brain cell knows that pigs cannot talk .  Do keep digging, in your world something has to be true because you want it to be true. Almost text book delusion. |

I usually listen to/watch Talk TV during the day, in the evening I prefer GB News via YouTube, I particularly like Headliners at 11pm. Cant remember the last time I watched news on TV, as in BBC or ITV. In fact, the only time I switched the TV on so far this week was to watch Brooklyn 99 yesterday. I know, it's a weakness. Thats your problem Red you watch those rabid rightwing clowns on those two stations,as for the MSM who rant on about woke this and that every day and don't report much news, and social media they are not under the control of the left,they are under the control of Oligarchs like that toxic idiot Murdoch and Corporations,its total nonsense to say the left control them. If you watched Talk TV or GB News the first thing you would notice is they are not right wing, or clowns. |

Jeremy Clarkson: We’re in the midst of a coup. Who the hell’s behind it?
...And TV drama? Unaffected? Right, and when was the last time you saw a fictional police force hunting a gang of Muslim extremists? It’s always the far right. ...
I remember an outstanding example of this from a few years ago. It was in "Silent Witness", and illegal immigrants had come to grief in the back of a lorry. The people smuggler was a kind and moderate quasi-social worker, whereas the perpetrator was a white convert to a branch of Islam that all the non-white Muslims despised and derided. Spare a thought for non-white British television actors, who must be frustrated at only ever getting the part of hero or victim. |

Also in that one, the actress Emilia Fox was scathing of the government and immigration yet her boss was saying we just can't let everyone in we would be overrun. That was an old episode yet the problems persist today. |

Jeremy Clarkson: King of ControversyDid anyone watch this? Jeremy Clarkson: King of Controversy explores the inside story of Jeremy Clarkson's most shocking moments over the course of his career. Includes a look at incidents involving Piers Morgan, a producer on `Top Gear', and the country of Argentina. tv24.co.uk/b/rp9mc0-d8lI suppose if you like Clarkson you will like it, if you don't like him, you wont. I liked it, that's because I like the fact that he is a buffoon, a comedian, entertaining and yes, controversial.

This is entertaining, even funny. It's also bloody sad, because it's all true. Jeremy Clarkson: We’re in the midst of a coup. Who the hell’s behind it?
My son came over for a father-and-son pre-football supper the other day, and as he fussed over the Aga, making a particularly fine stir fry, we laughed about what innocuous word had been banned that day and who’d been cancelled. And then, after a pause, he said with a solemn face, “You do know there’s a war going on, don’t you?”
He wasn’t talking about Ukraine. He was talking about a full-on left-wing campaign to unstitch and burn the fabric of Britain. And the genius is that no one really knows that what they’re doing is serious. We laugh as they change the name of the Sir Francis Drake Primary School to something less slavey. We think it’s all a big joke. But it isn’t.
Think about what typically happens in a military operation and then look what the woke left has done here. It’s seized control of our television and radio stations to such an extent that last week Sophie Raworth said, on the BBC News at Six, with a straight face, “And over now to our LGBT and diversity correspondent ...”
And TV drama? Unaffected? Right, and when was the last time you saw a fictional police force hunting a gang of Muslim extremists? It’s always the far right. And it’s the same story in comedy. Say anything you like about Boris or Rishi and the laughter track is turned up to 11. Make a joke about she/him pronouns or Greta Thunberg and they’ll blow a piece of tumbleweed across the stage.
In sport we sometimes have three women doing the punditry at a men’s football match, and if anyone remarks on this on Twitter, they are immediately singled out for the india-rubber treatment. And who’s doing the erasing? Who’s making the rules? That’s just it. We don’t have a clue. What we do know is that, having taken control of the television stations, without a shot being fired, they turned their attention, like any conquering army, to the schools. Here they went fully Pol Pot, doing a comprehensive year-zero job on the curriculum so that kids would know their parents were all racists. Apart from those with “unconscious bias”. Who were racists as well.
You probably think, because you don’t know this war is going on, that when you drop little Johnny off at the school gates he’s going to learn the nine times table that day. No, he isn’t. He’s learning that he might actually be a girl, which is why there are probably tampon dispensers in the boys’ lavatories.
With all this in place, they set about the police, and here they’ve done a tremendous job. Because, so far as I can tell, almost all the officers in the Met — apart from the terrifying number of sexual perverts — are now more wide awake than a frightened fox.
When some young people with green hair glue themselves to the road, large numbers of officers are dispatched to stand around looking at them. And they are only ever removed from the tarmac if they promise to go immediately to the nearest art gallery and throw some soup at a painting.
There’s more too. In 2017 a young woman with Asperger’s posted some rap lyrics in memory of her 13-year-old friend who’d been killed in a car accident. Because these lyrics contained the n-word, as many rap songs do, apparently, the local hate crime officer decided to charge her. And the magistrates, even though the song had been played two million times on YouTube, gave the poor girl an ankle bracelet and a curfew order and made her pay £500 in costs as well as an £85 victim surcharge. The case was later overturned.
Still think the loony left isn’t in control? It’s even in your office. If you run a business and you discover that a person in an androgynous trouser suit has been sitting around all day worrying about panda bears and what painting is most in need of a daubing with oxtail, you know that you absolutely cannot say anything to them about doing some, you know, work. Because then they will claim you’ve affected their mental health and you’ll have to be sacked.
They are cross with you, so they make a complaint, and you haven’t got a hope in hell of surviving that. Which means you’ll have to spend every day for the next few months sitting on a bench in the park and feeding the ducks because you don’t have the courage to tell your family that you’ve been let go for using the word “homosexual”. Which, we learnt last week from a Home Office spokesperson, is a medical term.
We’ve now reached a point where the leader of the opposition is so boxed in and frightened that for a while he could not answer when asked if a woman could have a penis. He knows what happened to JK Rowling when she waded into this debate. He knows that out there, hidden and invisible, there really is an army with the ability to remove from public life anyone who disagrees with its increasingly militant viewpoint.
At least Arthur Scargill had the decency to get on a soapbox and state his aims in public. This lot don’t. They sit at home, hiding in the impenetrable shadow of anonymity, inventing new rules to ensnare anyone and everyone they deem to be unworthy. Monty Python joked in the Spanish Inquisition sketch that there was a crime of heresy by thought. But today it’s a reality.
And at this point I was going to explain how this war is now being waged against our head of state, King Charles. But, wouldn’t you know it, I’ve run out of space. Damn.Clarkson is right, socially and culturally Britain is disappearing up its own rear. I heard the hype and controversy surrounding some music video by a bloke called Sam Smith. Apparently it is empowering the younger generation according to his band of misfits. Sturgeon would love thisIt's hideous. And this is the world will live in now. |

That's obscene it just wrong. My god, no wonder kids are confused if they're told that sort of thing is normal. That guy is a screaming pervert ffs, I mean what man prances around like that in public? He's a sexual deviant, sadly the disciples of woke who insist this sort of behaviour is normal, are weak lefties who probably think The Emperor's New Clothes is the latest right wing plot from Tory head office. |

JRM is joining GB News, what was being sneered at by trendy lefties a couple of years ago has now become a serious player, leaving the Beeb and Channel 4 to the weirdos and lefties. I agree with Steppenwolf and it was a good post, but don't despair, I live in the country and everyone I speak to is enraged with it all, I still think normal people with normal values far out number the morons, it is just they make more noise, but GB news is helping to balance that. I would like to know how that station and talk TV even got on the airwaves? whats the criteria for having a one sided propaganda station on air? those tw came out of nowhere, if i was a billionaire would that be enough? Anyone can set up a one-sided TV station if they want - just as they can publish a one-sided newspaper disseminating propaganda (like the Guardian). But the national broadcaster (the BBC) can NOT do this because it's paid for by the public. If they disseminate bias they're violating their remit and "should" be reined in by their regulator (Ofcom). Of course that doesn't happen as we know. The BBC are intent on destroying this country. But what you miss is that Talk TV and GBNews do NOT broadcast propaganda - they're both quite happy to have a balanced discussion on any subject that people want to discuss, unlike the BBC. For example the BBC won't allow air time to those who don't agree with the orthodox view on climate. They also refuse to give a platform to those who don't agree with their political views. Peter Hitchens has said that he's only invited on to the BBC when he's talking about things where he's in line with the BBC's views. You don't get that kind of censorship on Talk TV and GBNews. What worries me is that the likes of Talk TV and GBNews will fall victim to the censorship of the 77th Brigade (or whatever they're called). They're obviously giving a platform to views that the govt don't like - so that probably comes under their definition of "disinformation". Will these stations find that their advertising revenue is being shut down by some insidious control that the govt has. |

Most of his controversies seem a bit meh these days though. Compared to some of the things Trump or Boris have said a joke about lorry drivers killing prostitutes is pretty tame. It's not like he was running a country or anything. He is an entertainer who found a niche telling slightly bigoted jokes. Jimmy Carr or Frankie Boyle have told much worse ones. |

It's a bit different when it is a PM or a POTUS calling Mexicans rapists or blacks pickaninnies. Comics and other entertainers can be granted a bit more leeway.
