Most probably. I can get channels from all around the world, it's easy when you know how. But even if he can't get it, i'm sure he can get Fox News which is strikingly similar to the BBC these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC should be funded by voluntary subscriptions. We should not be forced to fund its biased propaganda. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is also resident in Scotland and can vote in elections in Scotland. Many people have to work away due to their line of work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect the same disclosure for question time audience members as well. All I want is impartial reporting.

HTG Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Naga on Breakfast this morning - "the Solheim Cup Lionesses". Did England win the Solheim Cup over the weekend. The Lionesses is widely recognised as the female equivalent of the 3 Lions in describing the English football teams. Who knew it was the name to be applied to every female winning sports team? The Lionesses are bound to win either way - European or American. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjc Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I think the important thing to iterate is that whether watching, listening or reading news, you need to separate facts from opinion and conjecture. Ask yourself "who benefits from this?" and form your own opinions based on your own questioning. As investigative journalist, Greg Palast says.....don't listen to the repeaters! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Aye it was a devious political move to have a baby and have it get critically ill just as he was doing a tour.We've literally just had a jusified outcry at people politicising David Camerons grief over his childs death. Now a guy who has an ill baby has no right to harangue the man in charge of the NHS because he is a Labour activist.... Literally days later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few weeks ago in an interview with Ian Blackford, who was describing BoJo as a madman, she informed him that he couldn't say that, and she was therefore, terminating the interview. There was a lovely grin on Blackford's face as they faded him out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far be it from me to defend Boris Johnson, but wasn't the guy mic'd up? I agree, it doesn't change the fact his child is ill or whether the point he was making was valid or not but strikes as premeditated and opportunistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not necessarily her job to direct folk onto his social media, although if it was an orchestrated event by the guy then that was always going to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She reported the story as it happened without knowing anything about him, saying how bad it looked for Johnson. When it came out who he was she reported that too, 2 hours later, with no judgement. He's got no complaints about her reporting, it was Guido Faulkes who outed him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
