Has it been successful?
Remember when they launched and people on the Left claimed it would be a 'far right channel'?
Remember the orchestrated campaign against it, the boycott?
I'm watching Carolyn Harris (Labour - Swansea East) on there right now being given a fair hearing...no arguments, no silliness, no bias from the presenter trying to shut her down...just a grown up, mature, exchange of views. |  |

Most Labour MPs and hierarchy are Tories, they are traitors to the working class and poor.
I've never seen GB news but it's the overton window situation, the elite decides the parameters of debate, they will encourage vigorous debate within their set parameters that met their agenda. |  |

It has its audience who will appreciate it, and the people who it’s not catered for, won’t like it. Problem is there’s not much middle ground at the moment or room for folk to accept someone else’s opinion if it differs from mine. Very rare you hear someone say ‘you know what, that’s a good point, I may be wrong there’ |  | | |

John, I rarely watch GB News but I’ve quite often got the GB radio station on DAB on in the background. Now this may surprise you but Trampie has once again got things spectacularly wrong. 
It provides a platform for a far wider range of perspectives than you’d encounter on the BBC or LBC, and it seems to allow the time to explore a variety of themes in much greater depth.
Certainly you’ll hear voices from the right that advocate market solutions (Tramp dabbles on the Stock Exchange) and advance arguments for the privatisation of the NHS (again,Tramp was holding up Health Ireland on here recently as paying at the point of treatment “cuts down on malingerers,”) but equally you’ll hear from those like myself who support elements of economic planning and state intervention where necessity dictates.
There’s a discussion on just now debating the advisability of televising trials in the UK that would be of interest to you, John. |  |

I’d hate it. (Televised trials) If they were in place they’d be restricted. Couldn’t have them in domestic violence cases or any matters where there are vulnerable witnesses. There’s enough difficulty in getting nervous witnesses to court without having their evidence televised. Whole point is to give their best evidence, having a tv camera there wouldn’t help that.
Criminal trials are open to the public anyway so people can come and watch if they are interested.
On the other hand, it would quell some of the myths you hear about trials and show the role prosecuting and defence barristers have and why we have to test the evidence irrespective of how evil the person we represent is.
I’ve no issue in sentencing remarks being televised, think that’s a good thing but the last thing we want is to become an American style system with ‘celebrity lawyers’
I’ve been involved in some of these ‘fly on the wall docs’ in police station but always refused to appear on tv, and had my fave and my clients faces blurred out. I’ve no interest in being on tv. | | | |

Nothing about the American Justice System makes me think "Hmm, we could do with some of that here" except maybe the severity of some sentences.
