I assume most players would take the view, if you can fool them and get away with it then do so. That is the attitude that nowadays prevails incessantly throughout football. A fine example being Wolves on Saturday. Anyone would have thought we were at a hospital. It was pathetic watching their horseplay.

Apparently Farage and Brazier over at GB News are starting to overtake both Sky and BBC evening news figures.

Andrew Neil has lost a lot of credibility on the right over this.

He's embarrassed himself over the BBC trying to get his old job back....if he could kneel he would. That Question Time appearance shocked me.

But as Robin Aitken said of him he's just as much a social liberal as a conservative and Andrew Neil was always the BBC's idea of an acceptable Conservativism......which has been advancing leftwards for decades now.....while its grass roots hasn't moved much at all.

i bet that is more to do with legions of viewers leaving the BBC / Sky ?

only a dinosaur watches the evening News to try to keep informed

the BBC are so woke that their current affairs programmes now look like a Chris Morris joke.

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

I admit that I don't watch the BBC but after seeing their Christmas line up I wonder if anyone else does? Certainly they are failing if they want to tempt people like me back to the fold.

Apparently this line is identical to last year, I don't know because I never watched last year. The highlight of the holidays are 2 episodes of Mrs Brown's Boys a show I have never watched as these days the words BBC and comedy are an oxymoron.

It's Amazon prime for me and I may finally get around to getting Netflix.

One more point

As most of these shows are made months in advance, my guess is we are only now catching the impact of the pandemic. The output is already very stretched, with many repeats of already repeated programmes.

Not to your taste perhaps, but Mrs Brown's Boys is often very funny, but also charming and sometimes thought-provoking too. Give it a go, with an open mind.
