Respect to them. No point engaging with propagandists If she spontaneously combusted in front of me it would be a very similar reaction.

Respect to them. No point engaging with propagandists And it would have been difficult to pull off. Protesters by their very nature tend to be loud mouths but they knew she was coming and they all entered into a pact, the amazing thing was, that it actually held. And she absolutely hated it. I know I wouldn't have been able to have not taken the bait.

I wasn't basing my opinion on comments made by other people Cobs but rather, I was basing my comments on what I thought of what she said.
What did you think of what she had to say in response to Braverman?
EDIT: I replied to you before I saw wannabee's reply to you above but yes, quite ...

They have studied and copied what happened at Columbia 1968. The media studies dept. is one of the best in the world. They controlled the narrative and tried to avoid being misrepresented by the MSM.

Oh come on Cobs, what do you actually expect when you're referencing the replies on a GB News YouTube channel?
Do you genuinely believe that those remarks are providing you with a balanced view on the topic?
And on top of all that, you don't actually have the conviction to give your own opinion on their exchange?
Pretty poor mate.

I have a view which isn’t a million miles away from yours but rather than spending hours discussing a subject I’m not an expert on (I’m more interested in the U.K. and things I can do something about) and risk getting into some lengthy debate and argue minor points to the nth degree I don’t post a lot on this thread because of exactly the response I got from the dynamic duo for putting on a simple observation to a video which I’m now beginning to regret ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/KYqg3pYeaerc5lD_P7BR.gif) My OP was simply a clumsy way of trying to say not everyone has to have the exact same view and that they should be able to post an opinion without feeling that they’re - bad - some sort of facist - wrong every time - asked what there qualifications are for having that opinion and what job they do - Getting drawn into some long drawn out argument with you or Wanabee (or as is often the case both). - Having a like pulled out from 3 months ago and have it misinterpreted and used against them. The way it’s going there’ll be a lot of threads that will end up just turning into echo chambers where 2 percent of the posters post 90 percent of the content simply because the majority can’t be arsed with putting an opinion because it’s to much like hard work. Anyway I’ve said my piece so I’m going to dump and run before I end up getting into one of those long drawn out arguments I’ve just talked about and end up being a hypocrite (which I know I am anyway)

I really don't like this 'winners/losers' approach to dialogue and discussion that we see on social media all the time. I dont think it is helpful and it really undermines any openness to meaningful debate. It's not a sport.
What I will say with the above clip is that the response to the host (Braverman) picks up on something important. While the question about October 7th is reasonable in one way, it seems to be part of an adopted media narrative that this political situation somehow only started on that date, as if the succession of horrors dating back to 1947 are not relevant.
In that way the question seems disingenuous, the implication that these protestors are merely supporters of something horrific that took place on October 7th, that is how GB news seems to want to portray them, even though they are posing as if they are also wanting to give them a voice, so little wonder they are refusing to engage.

Anyway I’ve said my piece so I’m going to dump and run before I end up getting into one of those long drawn out arguments I’ve just talked about and end up being a hypocrite (which I know I am anyway) Well of course they will become echo chambers if people post stuff and then run away and aren't prepared to have a conversation about what they've posted. There are numerous threads out there discussing the conversation between Braverman and the student, the vast majority of which, contain hundreds and hundreds of posts actually praising the student, for the way in which the student tackled her. But no, you chose the thread (which would be unquestionably the most biased against the student), GB News, to make your point, as if it was some bastion of impartiality. And as I said, my post was based entirely on my own thoughts, not those of the GB News audience and if, as you say, your own opinions pretty much align with mine, that being, that she did indeed put up a fine performance, then I'm not entirely sure why it was necessary to bring them up in the first place. I dont think it was unreasonable to believe that in doing so, you were showing some sort of solidarity with their position. Following your post, I read through quite a big chunk of them and found that many didn't realise, just how much of a fool they were making of themselves, due to their actual ignorance, as they attempted to belittle the student. But hey, I guess, it wasn't particularly surprising.

Exactly. And there are very few people in our media (none?) and virtually no MP's (just Galloway and a maybe a small handful of others) who have the bottle to push back against that narrative. That's was why it was so refreshing to see the student call out Braverman and accuse her of being disingenuous with posing such a question (which of course she was being). I don't think Braverman was at all prepared to be confronted with a person who actually knew what she was talking about and instead thought that she'd be able to get away with trotting out her usual suite of misinformation and lies.

As the young lady (quite accurately) said to Braverman, the only reason she was there, was because she was touting to become the next Tory party leader.

How the hell this practice of sitting MPs with their own TV shows on political orientated stations is allowed is frankly gobsmacking, bad for democracy, as well as an insult to their constituencies.

Doesn’t she have a constituency to represent? What I found particularly appalling was the condescending smirking tone Braverman and the GB News Lackey took to being cancelled. She attempted to ask the loaded question of "Do you support Hamas" which of course nobody does but it doesn't follow you support what Israel is doing When she tried the same tactic with the Student in the Studio she was firmly told that she was asking the wrong question as the conflict didn't begin on October 7 and she recoiled like her arse had been slapped

Hard to see, how he isn't, at the very least, going to lose his job but it's hard to find much sympathy for him.
