Only the right type of free speech is permitted on GB News.

I'm shocked, frankly. It'll cost them.

I'm not shocked.

The fact that they only have right-wing politicians as hosts is a red flag on the extent of their free speech. And if this was in any doubt, we only have to look at the suspension of Guto Harri, suspended by the station for taking the knee.

It's an increasing trend from the right to only allow/tolerate one point of view. Whether its GB news or those peacefully protesting about what's happening in Gaza.

Fight for free speech of course, as long as its just our speech... GB news is a symptom of our once proud country's downward spiral. We'll end up like 1930s Germany if we're not careful.

But there's the "left" (Starmer) allowing only one point of view on the Gaza business; and the "extreme left" only tolerating a pro-Palestinian point of view. Rounding like you do on GB News is hypocritical.

As for ending up like 1930s Germany, that's my worry when we're all made to face East in 50 or so years' time.

It's a thread about two TV channels not the Labour Party!

And wiser souls than me on here have rebutted your projections about the UK becoming a Muslim state with an evidence-based approach.

Watching a bit of this channel this afternoon and they seem to be wetting themselves trying to defend the right wing thugs near the cenotaph

Let's just pretend for a moment that your ridiculous notion has at least some merit. Just for a moment.

If the government couldn't "make" people wear masks and "make" them stay indoors during the pandemic what in the blue hell gives you the impression they'll "make" us all pray to Mecca?

Would YOU do it? Somehow I doubt it. Would "are Tommeh" and his types do it? Even bigger doubt.

Great straw man, however sadly lacking in any credibility.

See 1930s Germany for details.

That’s not an answer though is it? Asking me to refer to a different country, from a different time (and century), different government and a different culture.

Now try again please.

I'm referring you to herd behaviour, antisemitism, and the outcome if they come to power.

[Russ]

For herd behaviour to be effective you need the entire nation on board. This is the ONLY time that conspiracy theorist contrarian idiots will be useful.

There is no way any government of ours will get everyone to believe and agree on the same things. We have far too many “why should I, you can’t tell me what to do” types to get enough of the population to convert to Islam.

I most likely won’t be here in your 50 year timeframe but if I was, and was also a gambling man I’d happily put my life savings on it.

They remind me of Fox News all dumb and one sided.

[Russ]

I think that was the intention all along

GB News has launched an online paywall as the start-up broadcaster seeks new revenue streams in the face of an ongoing advertiser boycott.

The outspoken news channel is rolling out a membership scheme that will offer exclusive commentary and analysis on its website to paying subscribers.

GB News is offering three membership tiers charged at £5, £10 and £20 per month.

You're going to have to pay to hear the vitriol now...

Sky Sports will be scared rigid
