[John Cleese is set to get a show on GB News,
alongside Andrew Doyle. On the Today Programme he claimed he “didn’t know” who GB News were before being approached. This comes despite the fact the arch-Remainer had previously referred to it as the “late unlamented GB News” and dubbed them “KGB News”, referring to their funding. To be fair to John, he’s not as young as he used to be. John is an opponent of wokeism and says the move was made possible by their pro-free speech platform. When he was asked about joining the BBC, he replied “not on your nelly”, predicting he would be cancelled within five minutes.] Great News Wise Comedy Legend. https://order-order.com/2022/10/10/j...oins-kgb-news/ This will be a Show ideal for Slim to Watch Last edited by arista; 10-10-2022 at 10:05 AM. |

Just looked up his age.
He's 83 in a couple of weeks. |

Could be cool.
Most of his views are fairly milquetoast, standard Liberal Remainer. I don't know where people get the idea he's a right-winger from? Being against censorship and "cancel culture" should be the norm tbh, and none of his views are cancellable. But, I guess because he wrote a character (who in the show was meant to be a relic) using slurs about forty years ago and gets annoyed when that part is (sometimes) left out of reruns, he must be the devil. |

He's lived about 4 decades longer, he's more knowledgeable than all of us, probably combined!

He's become everything that young John Cleese used to mock and make surrealist sketches about.

Is that the same channel that suspended/fired a dude for taking the knee. That's a hell of a free speech channel.

Is this the channel Piers Morgan is on? I tried to watch that interview with him and this Andrew Tate on youtube yesterday, it was impossible because Piers just kept interrupting.
I never knew who this Andrew Tate guy was, i just remembered him as the bloke who got thrown out of BB years ago, which i'd long since forgotten. Ever since he got banned from these social media platforms he's all over youtube. He just struck me as someone who tries way too hard to be alpha. From what i see of the interview i found it all quite uninteresting.

I've seen him interviewed a few times and he's a bit embarrassing because you don't know if he's going to be rude, funny or plain embarrassingly out of touch with reality which I've seen come over as sometimes.

Ah fair enough, is that an actual channel on TV, or online? I don't watch any of these rolling news channels anymore. Just see the odd interview on youtube, or videos that are posted on here.

I thought that Andrew Tate interview was very odd. The guy seems to me like a cartoon character. He puts on this really aggressive voice that is completely unnatural and then says **** to be controversial and people lap it up

His best interview, where he was funny and personable, was with Allan Carr. They had a mini food fight

I watched maybe 25 mins of that interview with him and Piers. Piers was interrupting every 6 seconds, he was trying to catch Tate out. However, you're right, Tate doesn't really come across as interesting at all either. My slight fascination with it all has been satisfied now. I have to admit i do find Jordan Peterson much more interesting. He's like a 50/50. He makes perfect sense at times, and what he says is logical and helpful. Other times i zone out, i admire his passion, i don't think he's a bad person, but it's that passion and emotion that lets him down at times.

One of his ex wives was stealing about a million a year at one point! I think that ended fairly recently, but it's ridiculous that a spouse (with whom he didn't have kids) can just take his money because their relationship fell apart...

Why aren't you honest about it not being a free speech issue at all, but it's only the speech that you agree with, is the only version you see as legitimate. No one calls for more people to shut up or be cancelled than you do. You disagreed with Penny the other day, so called for her to be sacked.
