The viewers aren't tuning in for a laugh, they're pleased a channel that's not leftist, woke or biased is available to them and despite the vile name calling aimed at them, they continue to grow. In fact the name calling drives people towards them. And the name calling of the viewers, (things like the inference the viewers must have a low IQ) just signals the way. It's just that misplaced remoaner sense of self superiority raising its ugly head again. They really do think they're special....which they are, but not in the way they think.

I have friends who watch GBN. What I meant was, they will have already captured their audience, because people ideologically inclined to it have been watching since Day 1. My opinion is they won't get people who are not right wing or anti-vaxx any more from the general public because they already have them as an audience, because most people aren't anti-vaxx, climate change sceptics or have far right political views, and will just pop in for a laugh or out of curiosity. In the same way as you would distain the Andrew Marr Show, James O'Brian on LBC, or Times Radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Wellington Posted October 4, 2023 #30 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Anyone watching the PM deliver his speech? He just said he is going to prevent gender politics targeting children at school, patients in hospitals, and the bullying of people into believing they can be whatever gender they want to be. He dropped the line that a man is a man, and a woman is a woman, thats just common sense. Oh well, I guess later today they will start wanting the PM cancelled in addition to the media right haha.

Yes he said that, but then there is an election on the horizon & also it pre-supposes he's actually making the decisions when in fact he's just our version of Biden.

Biden is incompetent, too old, and seemingly very corrupt. Sunak is an usurper who needs to keep the power block happy or they will happily replace him too. I think the general public currently favour the Conservatives more than Labour, but I think he will loose the election. He won`t be able to win the votes of those Brits secretly harbouring racist views. Whether it is right or not is irrelevant, they will vote the way they want too.

By that do you mean all those people that want to see an end to unrestricted illegal economic migrants?

TigerBright19 Posted October 5, 2023 #36 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) With most social media content you usually find that people's 'reaction videos' receive far greater attention and views than the original content and the story can be shaped to the liking of the ratings. People sadly like watching over exaggerated emotional reactions to trivial and mostly forgettable stories that in other decades would not even make the tidbit pages of the Times. Most negative reactions tend to be swayed by tribal narratives anyway without independent judgement. Most news stories are negative because they get more attention (reactionary clicks) and the viewers also use them as form of escapism to deflect attention away from their own problems i.e. Similar to how people watch films, listen to music, and play video games as a form of escapism, therapy and anger management. So GB news and reactionary videos in general are I believe just a modern day solution of how people today cope in modern society. At least that is how it appears to me as an observer of this world.

Under the Tories, immigration has risen year on year, to 600k last year, plus about another 100k on boats from France. We need the Tories out so we can take back control of our borders and country. The situation is getting desperate- we need them gone, and some grown-ups to take charge. Their silly posturing in their conference about cigarettes and 'fight fight fight' and cancelling HS2 to cause a financial problem for the next government is nonsensical. We need to stop immigration and get a grip on the country- and we can't do that with the Tories, as are they are just focused on short-term robbing taxpayers to line their pockets.

I think you lot misread that. How many people tempted to vote Conservative at the next election secretly harbour racist views? Will it change their vote? Remember, it was Boris Johnson that everyone voted for not him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the Conservative Party are the party that got rid of Johnson, and then they got rid of Truss. The right-minded Conservatives are moderate, as are the right-minded Labour lot. The fight is over winning the anti-immigrant, anti-EU, Red Wall. They are the ones whose vote is needed. That's why Sunak didn't rule out inviting Farage back into the Tory party. The Conservatives have probably already lost the Blue Wall (they are repulsed by Braverman and Sunak out-doing Enoch Powell and abandoning even attempting Net Zero), but that won't matter as long as they are seen as out-UKIP-ing the Reform Party. Farage's ability to galvanise xenophobia still terrifies them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
