What about Clare Balding she works for the Channel.

She's not a commentator.

She'd be good hosting programmes but I think she's too big a name.

She is currently the President of the RFL

She comments on crufts

INOUT

That doesn't make her a commentator.
It's nothing to do with knowledge,, she's excellent on everything she does, but commentating is a particular skill.

Few points, Farage has proved to be a far more interesting and entertaining presenter than politician so clearly, you’ve never watched it and thus you are doing what you always do, spouting with zero knowledge.

You call it bemoaning others call it the truth or an alternative voice, but I doubt you’ll ever get that so self-assured are you that you know best.

Real news, from where, the BBC, now you really are being ridiculous.

You believe people who watch an alternative news source are ‘sad’. This shows your arrogance and utter contempt for others and is so typical of your type and in all honesty that’s why I tend not to like you or at least you on here. I just detest your totally unearned and unjustified sense of superiority and adding in ‘my opinion’ doesn’t hide it. Opinions are fine, I have millions of them but I don't assume the millions who will disagree with them as sad or stupid.

Yours and sadly the default setting of so many others seems to be that if someone thinks differently they are an idiot rather than someone with an alternative viewpoint who to be branded as something derogatory. I disagree with Redscat on an almost fundamental level but I don’t consider her??? to be an idiot or in any way sad. Hell I can even accept she/he may be right and I may be wrong on some issues, that is the mindset of a true libertarian and real democrat.

On a personal note, I do think the Great in Great Britain is justified.

I’ll tell you what I’ll pay your airfare to Russia or better still Syria and we will see how you go. I give it two weeks before you’re crying like a baby begging to come home. The shame is we are such a decent nation we’d let you back in, I wouldn’t.

If the UK is so bad why don’t you and your fellow moaners just do one and leave? Show some backbone for once and put your money where your mouth is. It’s a free country so nobody will stop you

Correct and shouldn't we be talking about the United Kingdom - or has Northern Ireland just been conveniently forgotten?

Anyway Merry Christmas to all - I'm off to Aberdeen for Christmas in what is rapidly becoming a different nation!

Tell that to Eddie Waring (if he was still alive), PT.

You are so sanctimonious if you read my post you will see I am the one who is sad that people like you believe what GB News stand for.
We all know you have a million opinions because you post most of them on here regardless of the topic.
With regards Farage and the truth I think his record speaks for itself much like de Pfeffel. I believe they are intending to do an outside broadcast with Farage sat on a Union flag draped throne at the water’s edge like King Canute but rather than trying to stop the tide he would hope it works on those trying to reach the U.K..
I see you resort to the fact that the word of Vastman can never be questioned and anyone that does should leave the country. I would point out that if you are suggesting Syria this is not a communist country, because it is being backed by Russia does not change this fact. I could say to you if you don’t like debate then why don’t you go to Brazil whose current ruler is more to to your liking.
One final point if you think we are a major player on the world stage then you are in for quite a shock.

Let's not do the "why don't you go to... Russia, Brazil thing'
It's pointless. It doesn't prove Great Britain or UK is great or not great.
There are individual things in other countries that are better than us and some that have atrocities beyond belief.
