How in the world does a 'news' channel get away with this sort of behaviour? linkThe commentators idea of 'Hero of the week' is nothing more that an incitement to violence. There are crazy people in this country that will have watched that clip and listened to the comments and take an inevitable step further. I am not talking about the rights and wrongs of what the member of the public did but a channel that people listen too acting so irresponsibly. I watched that live, and I absolutely applaud the actions of the chap who did what the police should be doing. The woke police in this country are not only a disgrace but a laughing stock. My son lives in France he says he cant believe the police in this country are so weak. I have friends in Germany who are of a similar opinion. British police are seen as weak, and they have only themselves, and possibly their rainbow helmets, to blame. What you think about whether the bloke was right or wrong or whether the protesters are right or wrong or the police are woke or wong is not the point, my point is a national broadcaster is 'applauding' and 'rewarding' the use of violence. This is a very dangerous step given the volatility in this country at present, see Cardiff as an example and nutters will now see it as a badge of honour to beat up protesters with the blessing of GBNews.

GB News - the ONLY news channel in the UK which genuinely has a political bias, which is to the populist right And that sums it up Laugh as you might, GB News represent the left a lot more than the BBC represent the right. Of course you wouldn't know that because although you sneer at GB News you don't watch it, you probably think the very utterance of 'GB' is racist, right? Have you ever heard of Stephen Pound? Labour MP for Ealing North from 1997 to 2019 and a very eloquent and witty speaker. He has a regular spot on GB News. Have you ever heard of Aaron Bastani? Founder of the left wing media group 'Novara Media' and long time supporter of Jeremy Corbyn, and a regular on GB News, I could go on. It would be pointless for any news channel, other than the BBC, to promote their own agenda. GB News is growing because they openly invite contrary opinions. But like I said, you wouldn't know that. Do you know that GBNews is the least trusted news source amongst 'normal' Tory voters?

Who has done that then Red? or did you take one thing and turn it into another? He was acclaimed as 'hero of the week' by GBnews because he 'manhandled' members of the public who happened to be protesting. There are a lot of people out there who would like to be considered 'hero of the week' by a national 'news' channel and image that going a bit further might clinch it for them. What else would you call it? I would call it them expressing the views of the majority of people in the country. For far too long media outlets have stood on the side of antagonists like those idiots our 'hero' moved along. If those idiots hadn't have caused the initial problem of trying to halt a fraction of society going about their legal and daily commutes, a hero wouldn't have been needed. As usual, you are on the wrong side of the problem, and it is exactly because of people like you who lack the basic common sense and decency to apportion the blame on the actual victims.

Was a referendum used to support you view that it is the majority's view? There is no problem, in anyone's mind if news outlets call them out for disruption but they should not be allowed to 'encourage' violence as GBNews have quite clearly done. We are all 'victims' here. The tens that are inconvenienced by the protesters and the millions that are affected by climate change.

It's not about left and right unless you are saying that the right support violence which I am sure the majority of those that consider themselves 'righties' do not. It is about a national media outlet 'rewarding' public violence and indeed inciting it.

The GBNews presenter said that they had a groundswell of people contacting the company for an outpouring of love for the bloke who was trying to get to work. There was about 8 idiots blocking the road. The rest of London was trying to go about their business. I think it's certainly safe to say those idiots in Trump-like-orange attire are in a minority. GBNews weren't encouraging anything. The event had already happened and as previously stated the presenter was airing the views of those who had contacted GBNews to congratulate, not encourage the work he had done. And if you believe there are tens of people affected by these idiots and millions affected by climate change, you should be voting the Greens or a political party that will represent your views to make democratic change. Not purposefully piss-off your fellow compatriots. How is that going to save the climate RR? Please tell me.

The protestors refused requests to move out of the way so physically removing them was the only option left. Happens all over the world.

If it did we could hold elections on the phone traffic of GBNews. The protests did not stop the whole of London. GBNews made him the 'hero of the week' that is a reward in their mind. Of course they were congratulating him which will directly lead to 'copycats'. OK, maybe it was hundreds but 7billion are affected by climate change. Who am I 'pissing off' those that advocate violence, those that don't care that we are killing our planet, those that cannot see that the oil giants are ripping us off?

It is very simple, you took an avenue and ran with it that people going about their lawful business being stopped by what are purely agitators shouldn't have the right to go about their lawful business if they say so. So the outcome is becoming more aggressive towards said agitators, now you believe it is all a plot by some right wing press against said agitators. Who incidentally don't give a flying feck about getting green policy introduced for the future. Or they would be seriously considering the options on the table. So by running with the agitators you are now creating an atmosphere against the majority of people in this country who one of the leaders has said they couldn't give a flying feck about said people going about their own business. If some of them are killed in the process then so be it. Have you or the said agitators even taken into consideration the outcome of that, I think not and maybe that's why other countries are now taking a stronger view in taking you off the streets.

I agree but the police, who were present have the right to remove the protesters it is not up to members of the public to use force. That man could have caused injury to the protester he 'flung' towards the police and would then could have been charged with GBH. GBNews applauded the man for his actions on national TV which could lead to repeats and an escalation. Yes, it does happen all over the world but does that make violence right and it may well continue to happen until there is and there will be, a serious incident, and peoples lives will be changed forever.

I have not said that people should not be able to go about their lawful business as they want, in fact I have said the exact opposite. Again I hear the term 'majority' were not study has been conducted and you are making rubbish up. You have just proved what I have been saying.
