Job cuts at GB news?

I have never seen it but I am not surprised. I said when it launched that I didn't see the appetite from the public, nothing to do with politics, but who watches the news these days let alone a 24 hour news station.

John Humphries pointed out that audience figures for BBC and the other big News channels have halved in the last few years as viewing habits change.

BBC can hide the costs of their news service as they are a general broadcaster so too can ITV and C4. GB News is a one trick pony so it sticks out like a sore thumb.

I don't see it surviving certainly not in its current form.

One more point

Not at all. I know many people who voted for Brexit who are decent people and whose world view is not so dissimilar to mine, but disagreed with me over the EU and were more gullible to the disinformation. I know some who now regret it.

There is a growing sense that change is needed and that the tensions between the core northern countries and the southern ones must result in modifications. I presented a paper 40 years ago about the likelihood of a 2 speed Europe, and I suspect it is going to happen. It just takes a long time.

The campaign to remain was poorly presented, but arguments in favour of the status quo are never as appealing as arguments for change. Promising dreams is always easier to sell than reality.

Why do you believe that our sovereignty was ever in doubt? There was never the slightest chance we would cede it to the EU! The EU cannot force it, whatever the fearmongers might suggest. We would never agree to it, so it was always a non issue. The most to be expected would be a voluntary agreement between some EU nations for a closer integration of their political systems, as part of a 2 speed Europe.

Veiled insults again. Why do people with a different opinion have to be gullible in your eyes. Just because the choice wasn't what you wanted. Also by the same token there are remain voters who now regret they hadn't voted for brexit.

Where you see insults, I just see the truth. That they might be uncomfortable truths is just unfortunate.

They don't have to be gullible, and I am sure some of those who voted to Remain could be too. The difference was the type of campaign which each side fought. When you are making promises of a theoretical better tomorrow, the gullible are likely to believe it. If your campaign has to defend the well known, then the facts are already known and gullibility is much less of a factor.
