It’s the reverse. Self-proclaimed freedom campaigners are the ones trying to shut up fair debate.

I get the feeling that we’re living in a repeat of Weimar Germany. A sinister threat from the right is emerging in an apparently liberal society.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Been saying the same for a while now. Right wing and Nationalist politics is on the rise and it's quite worrying I think.

For all those who cry fascist or marxist when someone says something they disagree with, despite clearly not understanding what either of these things are, here is an example of actual fascism in plain sight:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/electoral-commission-boris-johnson-flat-b1868407.html

If they can't be prosecuted they can't be stopped. Dictatorial power and suppression of opposition/the laws of society. Ushered in via the supposedly affable Johnson so that the blinkered in society don't look at what is actually happening. Make no mistake, there are many parallels between the modern day UK and Weimar Germany.

What a pathetic thing to say 😮
It’s called an open debate!
Finally we have a channel that that will listen to all voices, but you keep taking them bitter pills and carry on with the BBC the home of Jimmy Saville👍


Today on GB News, the big debate: when is a nonce not a nonce? Can you be just a bit noncey or is it all-or-nothing? Does it still count if you're a member of the Royal Family? What if the kid's age is a prime number, is that really the same thing?

Tune in for more impartial debate, where we may disagree on nonces, but we will all agree that despite the unfortunate pedo tendencies of old Edward, the biggest evil in the Royal circle is definitely Meghan Markle.

GB news is farce. It’s a platform, which is technically allowed, for the self obsessed and the irrelevant. Sadly, those with nationalist views masquerading ad patriotism will tune in and lap it up…in the process proclaiming it is their right, it’s free speech and opens up the debate.

Perhaps it does to some extent but in truth it is yet another platform for the likes of Farage, the biggest hypocrite walking the planet to share their somewhat bizarre views.

GB news offers nothing other than a right wing, nationalist news platform…it’s an alternative but just enhances and creates a bigger echo chamber.

I didn’t say I watched it, the moment it was announced many made a decision…

It is no different to having a new newspaper. It will either work commercially and survive or it won’t. I suspect it won’t because the commercial backers are still fearful of being targeted by the leftist social media army. But what are these anti-GB types so fearful of?
Why are they so worried about it? Is it going to change anyone’s politics or opinions any more than any other news agency? We read/watch what suits our pre-conceived views. We might pretend the Grauniad or Indie  or Times is educational to our opinions but they make no more difference than the Socialist Worker of C4 News that people like or don’t. It may be a platform or an echo chamber but so what? Why does that make it a bad thing?



“If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.”

If GB News offered nothing more than a right-wing nationalist news platform it would not have got Ofcom approval. What it is determined to do is view all sides of a debate, and allow people to express differing opinions that people have up and down the land but will never find on BBC or Sky.

Diversity is such a buzzword and is all the rage, but it never seems to include diversity of debate if it is not to the liking of the perpetually offended twitterati.
