Amol Rajan gave the GB News boss a good going over on the Today programme this morning. Well worth a listen, was around 7.45am.

Ill bet former BBC archaeology, now lizard conspiracy expert guys is also worried

He and the remaining presenters are in a real bind now.

They either keep their mouths shut to keep their jobs (in which case they will be labelled sellouts by the "free speech" true believer viewers of GBN... Or... They go on X or whatever and choose this to be the hill their grift dies on. Rather wonderful really.

In addition, a lot of GBN viewers will now be calling GBN itself "woke" and other words to this effect.

Again, bloody wonderful!😁

That's the trouble with throwing your lot in with zealots; eventually you will not be sufficiently 'pure' for them and they 100% will turn on you, urged on  by the next load of grifters looking  to take your place.

Yep conviction to the cause vs pay cheque dilemma 🙂

The irony of the free speech channel is that you need £60 million to er do the free speech lark into peoples homes.

My only concern is that they accidentally stumble on the right presenters/mix of lies and make it successful.

Interesting take from Benefits, the Sunderlan hardcore band. Watch to the end, recommend without a mouthful of coffee unless your keyboard needs a wash.

GB News has gone woke

Fox and the Vicar of Weirdness have just been officially sacked. Confirmed on the Beeb. Interesting that Wootton hasn't...

Fox has been arrested this morning too:

The Metropolitan Police later said: "On Wednesday 4 October, officers arrested a 45-year-old man on suspicion of conspiring to commit criminal damage to Ulez cameras and encouraging or assisting offences to be committed.

"He was arrested in Stockwell and has been taken to a South London police station where he remains in custody."

CZ – morgan is with Talk TV.<br /><br />

Oh, sorry, I pay so little attention to any tv outside of my particular interests, I thought they were the same thing. Well, yes, I know they’re the same garbage, with a different logo, but you know what I mean, I hope. Thing is with Morgan, he’s such a loser he’s never in one place long enough to remember where he’s supposed to be. I do recall seeing advertising posters along the side of London buses, with Morgan’s odious mug staring out of them, and I think I developed an automatic blindspot and have no clear recollection of what the advertising was selling.

I could do the same with Fox, but now the vile little shit’s on national news! 🤬😡😖

Cannot stand Morgan. Odious is just about the nicest term anyone could coin as a descriptive.

They can't throw each other under the bus fast enough. Long video with much to comment on but the comments do it well. My favourite has to be that the anti-woke crusader (check out the helmet and flag on the table behind him!) is moaning that since he was sacked by GBNews the wellbeing officer hasn't tried to contact him and ask how he is. Beyond parody.

creepy cosplay vicar

Creepy yes, cosplay no - he's no less of a vicar than anyone else. He's ordained into a church that has churches n stuff. I mean I don't really want to come across as defending him, but he's no less legitimate than the next vicar.

@benpinnick

He’s not ordained into an established church, which is what most people think of as vicars.

It's an established church, albeit a small one (2,300 members, according to wiki). And he is ordained. The only reason he wouldn't be called a vicar is because he doesn't have a parish. Deacon/cleric would be the title, I guess.

Whether we think the dog-collar and smock are always on simply for performative reasons is another matter.

I believe you can get ordained into his church by sending six packet tops and a stamped addressed envelope for the certificate.

No idea about that vicar but does he play the church / god angle on his views or does he spout lies (oh the irony) about more general stuff whilst dressed up as a vicar? Is it his stage outfit or does he wear it down the pub or bingo?

Please look up the definition of an “established church” because his church most definitely is not.

All churches are just made up to promote the morality, politics and power of those who incarnated them. I don't think the size or date of inception is really the determining factor as to whether one vicar is more or less legit than another. Just keen to see the debate doesn't fall to what amounts to just name calling in the end.

Well, only the CofE is an 'Established Church' - ie the 'official' church of state defined in law , but are we saying that all the other ones, like the Catholics, don't get to have ordained priests?

On the range between Matthew 18:20, and the CofE, where does your definition fall?
