Re: GB News (New UK News channel coming soon)
I watched it briefly this morning, just to see what the fuss was all about.
First impression . . . why does it look like 4:3 at 640 x 480 resolution? Then, after 5 minutes juggling with the volume control in order to hear both sides of a conversation, I turned it and the TV off. Typical B movie quality, I'd guess the adverts would be better in quality and content but I wasn't hanging around to find out. :D early days I guess |

Not a massive fan of media boycotts personally. I suspect companies pay too much attention to a very small but vocal group of people. It doesn't matter if it's 'Stop Funding Hate' putting pressure on companies to avoid GB News or if it's people not buying French wine/cheese/cars because Macron was mean. No one really knows it's happening let alone cares.
But I guess consumers are free to make purchasing decisions based on values/politics and companies are certainly going to be cautious of what associations they make. |

Re: GB News (New UK News channel coming soon)
Any examples of where he was "cancelled out of is former acting career for speaking his own held views", please?
I can't find any evidence where he was turned down for jobs because of his views - it would appear that someone he appeared on a TV series with didn't want to associate with him, and his agent decided not to work with him, but besides that, can't find anything... https://inews.co.uk/opinion/comment/...culture-642794 Quote:

https://news.sky.com/story/laurence-...grace-11957291 Bear in mind all he had said as this point was that he didn’t think the U.K. was racist towards Meghan. And yes he was dropped by his agency, and I would suspect he’ll probably never be offered an acting job again. Now post this incident I would agree he has double downed on everything and said several questionable things, and btw I am no fan of his and never actually seen him in anything. But I do not believe this is how he wanted his future to pan out, I’m sure he would have been quite happy to stay as actor, he accepted an invitation to go on Question time, he was asked his opinion, he gave it. He was accused of being a white privileged male, which he is and he agreed, but I don’t see why that means he can’t have an opinion. He was subsequently branded a racist, no evidence of that on QT, the Twitter sphere went into meltdown and he was toxic. All because he had a valid opinion and expressed it, but if you think that’s all fine and that’s the kind of world you want to live in, you’re welcome to it |

That’s an unwarranted assumption, not supported by anything I’ve posted, but if you think that’s all fine and that’s the kind of thing you want to post, you’re welcome to do so…

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-57482168 You always seem to side with the nasty folk, undemocratic folk. But then again, that's just how narrowmindedness works with your losing side doesn't it? :rolleyes: |
