I am referrring of course to A Village In Essex Blessed With Not The Largest Village Green In England. And nothing or nobody else. Obviously. |  |

Unfortunately there are one or two on here who will twist things. It's the usual suspects all the time. Unfortunately this board is getting a bit boring now because of this especially if you aren't on the left side of politics. Don't let it bother you. |  | |  |

How did Andrew Neil last so long at the Beeb? on 19:22 - Feb 7 by J2BLUE | Bit different though isn't it? This channel will be more right wing and could move the centre even further to the right. That's what people don't like. We don't need our own Fox News. |
We need a good dose of right wing logic and common sense for the British people. I predict a ratings fest for GB News. |  |

Is that because the existing right wing media outlets provide little to no logic and common sense? |  |

Maybe you're better off not making judgement about stuff and saying certain posters are being bullied when you haven't got a clue what has been going on with regards to a users posting history in recent times....as you haven't been on the board in a while. Do you think Phil and Gav would let anything unreasonable go on with regards to bullying? The only thing that could be deemed surprising is that Paz hasn't been banned...he'll go a step too far in the not too distant future I'm sure. His views on here show him to be a thoroughly unpleasant individual. [Post edited 7 Feb 2021 21:01]

He's done nothing to deserve a ban. He never gets abusive. |  |

I don't agree and I'm not going to argue with you. Calling someone a cre*tin is quite abusive in my opinion. |  |

Agree. It’ll be a huge success. It’s a reflection of the continued decline of the nation in terms of international influence. |  |

Most of its viewers will probably be people watching it just so they can be offended by it’s content. It’s one of a million increasingly low-rent TV channels in a world with far too many TV channels. I’m not expecting it to be difficult to avoid. |  | |  |

You have added the term raving. It is redundant. Do you think there are racists who are not raving? |  | |  |

What is he then? The Archbishop of Banterbury? Not to mention, he’s PM, not Dave down the pub. And to be fair Dave should know better too. |  |

He wasn’t PM at the time, not that that is an excuse. All I was saying is that he had made some very ill advised comments in the past which taken in isolation certainly appear offensive but that I do not believe he meant them in such a way. |  |

They weren’t “taken In isolation”. That isn’t all you said. Don’t forget, as a white middle class straight male, you also expressed the view, that it is not possible for an ethnic, cultural, or LGBTQ+ community to define what they find abusive. You, can apply context. Also they didn’t “appear offensive”, they were offensive. The PM refused to apologise to a LGBTQ publication, when told he had been offensive. |  | |  |

Again, not what I said. I said people have different boundaries for what is and isn’t offensive. What is offensive to one person may not be offensive to another. |  |

Well this should be easy. Do you believe those are racist terms? [If yes then continue below, if no then that looks pretty racist to me] Furthermore you would surely agree that using those terms wilfully is a racist act? Given this, would you agree that engaging in racist acts makes one a racist? SB |  | |  |

Yes. You disagree that it is minorities that can define what they find offensive. Of course you were happy to weigh in on how disgusted you were about anti-semitism. Which is of course defined. By a minority. Presumably you would agree that someone like Jeremy Corbyn or Ken Livingstone can’t be anti-semitic? Someone just has to say well in my opinion he didn’t cross any boundaries. Case closed, surely? [Post edited 7 Feb 2021 21:56]

Well he can't answer can he? The truth is we have someone on the forum who it wouldn't be much of a stretch to describe as having sociopathic tendencies. I don't mind admitting that this place would be a lot better with him gone. |  |

These are all conversations we’ve had before so I really do not see the point. Plus it will only result in more vile abuse and I’d really rather not disrupt Phil and Gav’s evenings any further. |  |
