And ironically he was never even voted in as an MP.

So in terms of UK influence he probably does deserve a knighthood for his "public service" if you are being non political

Jimmy Savile was pretty influential. It's important what sort of influence you have.

FTFY - well at least we have got to the expected result, that was the only sentence that was true.

I see you can't understand why comparing a small self funded news station that has only started a few weeks ago with a goliath funded by a tax on all tv owners with a 100 year history is a David and Goliath comparison. It was compared against BBC news organisation which lost, not the whole multi billion BBC organisation.


If you are going to compare things it doesn't make sense to compare an aircraft carrier to a canoe unless you are an idiot.

I am a real thicky.

Which of these statements are true? Hint only one is true.

BBC1 is a rolling news channel?

BBC News channel had 3.5 million viewers at 10pm on a channel that has run for decades that is so many more than the 107k viewers that Mr Farage got on his 7pm show that has been running for a couple of weeks. Mr Farage should be ashamed.

Warty is a bit of a thicky.

You really can't understand why you and the Wail are wrong can you? I give up.

[vetran]

FFS, how dim can one person be? Ok, let's try this again shall we .. just one more time.

The Wail is comparing the Nige 7 o'clock show, his specific show, versus the same time slots on the BBC News Channel (a rolling news channel) and SKY News (a rolling news channel). Nige gets 107,000 viewers for his specific show and you and the Wail are claiming his news is more popular than the BBC news.

I said a specific targeted show like Farrage's should be more popular than a rolling new channel that people only pop into sporadically. But, compare Farrage's show against a prime BBC news slot and the story is way different.

Given the prime time Beeb news is 6 o'clock on BBC1 with 3.5m viewers, it's highly unlikely that the rolling channel for the next hour will have high numbers.

So ... is summary, Farrage's news show is NOT more popular than the BBC news as claimed by you and the Wail.

HTH, but I'm guessing you are too dim still to understand this

Are you really this dim? No one said it was. Can you read?

Well you obviously are

Nigel Farage's GB News show beats BBC News Channel

[SueEllen]

indeed hence the Rolex comment.

You are aware that BBC1 is not a rolling news channel?

Not necessarily true especially if you tune in after midnight.

You are aware that BBC News and BBC 1 show the same news programs in prime time news slots like the 10?

This is Vetran you're talking about, he's not aware of much at all unless it's posted in the Wail

[SueEllen]

BBC1 is not a 24 rolling news channel, if we follow your logic if a presenter wears a Rolex watch its the same as owning the Rolex company.

Tripled down on stupidity.

I really did mate. You compared a prime slot Nige show of 107,000 against a rolling news channel. I gave you the numbers for the prime slot BBC1 news show that has viewer numbers of 3.5m plus each day. The BBC1 10 o'clock show has figures of c.3.5m too.

I'll let you work out whether 107k is higher or lower than 3.5m

Agreed but don't exclude the British from genocide.

British Army, British east India company (etc) or the british population?

Our Army was starting to improve but yes we had a long history of doing unpleasant stuff.

The improvements were partially due to the Geneva conventions and the rise of organisations like the red cross and newspapers starting to ask why are we killing all these Natives?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Geneva_Convention

The East India company was rather brutal.

The British people were mostly not put in the same situation as the Germans & Russian people were that they had to rat on their fellow citizens based on their race or beliefs.
