Sorry I did my recent correction to the world according to Farageman before I read your post. I think I have proved my point that you shouldn’t believe what you hear or see on GB News.

Utter bunkum.

They are safe in France (and every other European country they have travelled through).

LEGALLY, they are entitled to apply for asylum in the first safe country they enter.

And you got this fact where exactly? So someone is keeping perfect record of illegal migrant who land on shore and promptly dissapear into the countryside. Even for you that is beyond stupid.

Real refugees come through the proper channels not the English one.

Tell us this, why does a genuine refugee need to escape France where they are safe and fed. Why risk a sea journey to get to another country that has signed up to all the same treaties?

I mean you claim the EU is gods gift and we were stupid to leave so why come to an inferior country like ours. You’re that used to twisting you can’t even see the contradictions, tragic.

You can’t can you because as ever you just lie.

1. Slavery has never been legal on British soil since Roman times! The British slave trade is a separate issue. There has never been a need as our elite just enslaved it’s own peasant class in all but name.

2. The internet, Astra Vaccine, mobile phone network, DNA and the matching there of. Of course its impossible to say anything is invented in isolation but this GREAT nation played a huge part in them all. You clearly didn’t look very hard.

Here we go again with the arrogant assumptions, I had the same with another poster the other week but at least he was genuine.

So because I defend the right of Farage to have an opinion I’m automatically a fan am I?

So I occasionally watch GB news and suddenly it’s my only source of news?

I defend Brexit so I guess you assume I voted for it.

Well you’d be wrong but so desperate are you to label people with cheap barbs you never ask.

I agree with some of the points Farage makes in the same way I used to agree with some of the points Tony Benn used to make, you don’t have to have a side.

I find GB news a bit clunky and don’t watch it much but I’m delighted it exists and offers some balance. It serves a huge demographic who have been denied a voice in recent times and no true democracy can allow that. This basic tenant seems to be beyond your grasp.

I voted to stay and I would do so again. However as a democrat I accept my side lost and Brexit was the will of the people. Doesn’t matter what I think or how close it was my side lost. You’ll find similar on a rugby pitch.

You and folk like you need to look outside the narrow confines of your own mindset. Free speech and democracy is not about everyone agreeing with you, it’s the total opposite. It’s about listening to every point of view then coming to a consensus. If you do that extremist can never win, shove them into a ghetto and they will grow like a cancer. Live and learn.

I didn't look at all. I know we are a great nation, you just didn't point out any recent things.
Small correction though. We are responsible for the World Wide Web. The Internet is something slightly different that accesses the WWW. But your point is well made.

Yeah that confuses me to be honest, the US military I believe was the starting point for the internet.

I actually think the best one is DNA sequencing, the amount of crime it has solved and evil doers it’s bought to justice in my mind makes it the greatest humanitarian aid in history. Just the shear number of lives saved and minds put to rest, genius.

Merry Christmas to you too vasty, old chap and in 2022 I promise not to mention my favourite topic: Orgreave, June 18th 1984. Let's join forces in wishing for the best possible season for the lads in red, white and blue.

Thought I was going to read some stuff about channel 4.Instead I get pages of absolute tosh. Keep on topic please!

terrific contribution as ever, especially after you’ve just steered it off topic again

I see our game on Channel 4 kicks off at 1230 on a Saturday.

I think all games on Channel 4 shown on Saturday kick off at 12.30

They probably do, I just found it a strange time. I suppose it is before the racing if they still show it.

Racing is on ITV these days
