The new Andrew Neil news station, GB News will soon be launched to provide a much-needed antidote to the sopping wet BBC and Sky News broadcast services.

I read today that the usual woke suspects are calling for advertisers to boycott the channel before it has even launched as they don't like the anticipated output.

Is this the new political divide - woke versus the silent majority?

What has it come to when people cannot or will not listen to alternative views?

Whereas you are well known on the forum for being flexible with your views when presented with a balanced argument against the views you currently hold.

The silent majority? You don’t shut up about it so how is it silent? Not sure the majority part is true either.

What is woke? Before the first lockdown I got my father in law a tablet so we can video call. Ever since then he's been using the term as well as moaning about the Kardashians and Instagram influencers. None of which he ever mentioned before. We didn't really know where any of this had come from until we found out the tablet has some default apps, one of which is the Daily Mail and it all made sense. But yeah, what is woke?

I have no idea and no desire to find out. Don't know what a snowflake is either.

GB news Would this be a controversy

This is perfectly true, the names have been changed, as if, to BD. Many decades ago I lived in a different town. A new neighbour moved in and I introduced myself and he introduced himself.

I said I'm sorry but how do I pronounce that, so he repeated his name. I look mystified as I couldn't get pronunciation right. He said don't worry most people can't. So what do I call you I asked.

Sambo, that's what they call me at work.

So am I racial prejudice, woke snowflake or what.

It was different world then and nobody that I knew was offended by nicknames. You could even call Guy Gibson's dog a certain unpopular name in todays world, that nobody took offence to. I digress.

So theirs a start for GB news.
