It is absolutely appalling that GB News should have MP's as presenters - what on earth were they thinking?..  They aren't news readers, they are talkshow hosts. LBC has also had Tory MP presenters. And? |

Difference being they are not 'criminal courts', I said tried and convicted.
What's your thoughts on Bill Clinton BTW.
Not going to engage with someone trying to use whataboutery to deflect from Trump's wrongdoing. Trump's wrongdoing stands on its own as being totally wrong... ...end of. You chose Clinton because he is of the opposite party, trying to turn wrong-doing into a party-political points game. So "whatabout" this: Recent administrations with the MOST criminal indictments: Trump (Republican) — 215 Nixon (Republican) — 76 Reagan (Republican) — 26 Recent administrations with the LEAST criminal indictments: Obama (Democrat) — 0 Carter (Democrat) — 1 Clinton (Democrat) — 2 Spot the pattern yet? All The Best It's called "Lawfare" where the Left attack those of different political persuasions by using the courts rather than the ballot box - it's an attempt to roll back democracy. So Trump is accused of overvaluing his property to get loans and a court cited his Mar-a-Lago property as an example, which they valued at $18 million.  Other valuations are more like $500 million. This place is a huge gold and marble palace with 58 bedrooms, 17 acres and a golf course. So Trump borrowed money against it from various banks. None of the banks are complaining - they got their money back plus interest and both parties were happy. But the courts are trying to shut down Trump's business empire on the basis of ludicrous claims. Lawfare is also at work in the UK. Boris was prevented from proroguing Parliament (to prevent Labour hijacking the agenda and legislating to make leaving the EU impossible). The pro-EU courts ruled the prorogation illegal (in a coup that Lord Sumption said was a prime example of the courts making law rather than interpreting it). The Left then called in the police to investigate Boris for lying about parties at no. 10. They investigated him for 6 months and charged him on one count of "being ambushed by a cake" for a few minutes. The left then set up a kangaroo court (chaired by Harriet Harperson - who said Boris was guilty before the mock trial) - to find him guilty of lying to the House. Et cetera. Lawfare is becoming a serious problem in countries where the lawyers have taken over. Elected governments are being prevented from enacting the will of the people by courts who think they're the "Executive". Lord Sumption did the Reith lectures partly on this subject. |

A Civil Court doesn't mean you actually did anything - it does not require evidence of guilt. So he got fined all that money for doing nothing? Never read anything so stupid in all my life. All The Best I suggest you educate yourself on what a Civil case consists of - for example it does not require evidence of guilt beyond reasonable doubt. A feeling is enough to convict.. |

What is the specific difference between David Lammy and Jacob Rees-Mogg? - JRM doesn't sit behind a desk doing an impression of Reginald Bosanquet |

"GB News has been warned about its use of politicians as presenters after media regulator Ofcom ruled that five episodes of programmes hosted by serving Tory MPs broke its rules. Ofcom said shows hosted by Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg, Esther McVey and Philip Davies broke rules stating politicians should not usually front news coverage." www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68596973I've never seen a clearer example of rule breaking in all my life. And they've been let off with a warning. Not exactly 1984 is it? |

JRM is an opinion and chat show - he does not read the news bulletins. He is actually listed on their website under the 'opinion' section. Absolutely no difference to David Lammy |

So what do you think David Lammy talks about - cricket? What is the difference between JRM discussing Rwanda and Lammy discussing Rwanda? |
