What is it with these right wing idiots and their childish name calling? I remember seeing that Alex Belfield bloke on TV and it was a bit worrying as he was coming across as very intelligent, well spoken, but with some frankly dangerous views. Then I saw his Youtube channel where he comes across like an idiot, using these really dumb child-like insults.

Probably an inability to articulate their feelings any other way.

The arrogant sods never realised they were being supported by a large team of staff (who I'm guessing they don't appreciate, after all THEY'RE the stars who make the show successful) who actually are very good at their job.

And now they're finding out all the bits they dismissed as easy and/or unimportant which the little people did actually matter.

I mean there's basic cheap youtube shows that have better production values than this shower. It's so many basic mistakes.

You do wonder if they did actually set up in a regional studio instead of Paddington, would they be able to afford a couple of HD cameras and a sound tech? It seems the slickest segment is the weather!

Curiosity got the better of me and I flicked over to see how bad it was.

First thing I heard was some gammony bloke saying to his co-host "maybe I need a safe space from you Gloria!"

And now Brendan O'Neil is on whining about Enid Blyton being erased.

I've lasted 5 minutes but

And now I remember why I don't put the TV on at lunchtime. :lol:

Be nice to him. He's just been forced to hand back the only acting award he's ever won. :lol:

Andrew Neil seemed angry that someone suggested Dan Wooton was the main presenter rather than him earlier. :lol:

Is that Lawrence Fox guy aware that the most of the UK (and anyone else who's heard of him ) is laughing at him?

or are we all Twatters? :dread:

So this is where the Illuminati ended up, after centuries of conspiring to rule the world.

I didn't even know this was a thing until i saw the thread.

I must admit though, i've not been paying attention to stuff lately.

I am right in thinking that the font is much bigger than what appears on basically any other news channel?

EDIT - "News channel". Had to catch myself there.

Yes, it's all big and chunky (hello context!) So the thickos can read it.

Why does it look like they've set up in someone's living room? Doesn't look like a studio at all.

I geniunely think the vast majority of the set - the entirety of the studio, in fact - has been sourced from a combination of Wickes, John Lewis, Argos and IKEA.
