  1. It was wonderful. But then he went back to Spain. I can still remember the heartbreak.
  2. Thanks, but I think it's me that's got to make it happen, rather than hoping, then becoming all bitter if it doesn't happen Actually thinking about it - in between the ages of 20 and 22 is probably when I was happiest. I was working in a pub, having a laugh then I fell in love for the first time.....
  3. I'm hoping that my best years are yet to come....🤞
  4. To be honest I'm not that bothered if they don't let women in, and I don't understand why anybody else would be that bothered. Okay it's at the heart of the British establishment, but I'm not going to get angry on behalf of the power hungry and already well placed. I've never believed 'if you can't beat them join them' motto.
  5. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/frozen-shoulder/
  6. I don't think I said I know more than Ofcom, I'm simply pointing out that Ofcom have ruled before against GBNews for reasons of impartiality.
  7. Sorry to hear this. A couple of years ago I fractured my arm, and aside from being advised to use a sling they suggested that I do some exercises to get some movement into the area. I wonder if you could see your GP, and see what he thinks? 18 months is an awfully long time to go without moving your shoulder. You can get the NHS exercises pamphlet for your shoulder online.
  8. No, it's not being petty Axe. One of the burdens of knowing things is that you have to point out when others who lack knowledge say things which aren't true. That's a burden which you don't have to carry.
  9. Yes Chekhov I did read your post. I think total and pure impartiality in the real world are impossible. However that shouldn't stop broadcasters trying to be as rigorously fair as possible. GBNews don't even try to be fair, and to be honest, Ofcom have admitted they place a lower standard of judgement on GBNews than they do on BBC or ITN
  10. Not true In April 2023 Ofcom launched an investigation regarding a potential breach of impartiality rules during a programme broadcast on 11 March that was hosted by two Conservative MPs, Esther McVey and Philip Davies, where they interviewed a fellow Conservative MP, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, about his then imminent Spring Budget. The programme was confirmed by Ofcom to be in breach of their regulations five months later. Ofcom decided that the 16 June broadcast featuring Martin Daubney breached due impartiality rules when interviewing Richard Tice about immigration, but Ofcom did not impose any further sanctions. In response, GB News acknowledged that the content was non-compliant and stated that "[our staff] will receive further training focused on the issues raised by this broadcast". In December 2023 Ofcom ruled that the channel had breached impartiality rules with an episode of The Live Desk broadcast on 7 July 2023, which promoted its branded campaign "Don't Kill Cash".
  11. IRONY ALERT GB News invoked past rulings by the European Court of Human Rights protecting freedom of expression, and said the distinction between news and non-news was “less clearcut” than acknowledged by Ofcom.
  12. Ofcom has ruled today that GB News broke impartiality rules on five occasions by using Tory MPs as news presenters. But it has not imposed sanctions on the broadaster. It says these count as first offence, and that there may be sanctions if it happens again. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2024/mar/18/kemi-badenoch-appeal-tory-unity-rishi-sunak-might-call-general-election-conservatives-labour-uk-politics-latest-updates#comments How can five separate offences count as a first offence?
  13. Anyway, all is well for the moment because GB News will face no sanctions https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/mar/18/gb-news-breached-impartiality-rules-says-ofcom-but-will-face-no-sanctions We can't have the overlord's propaganda unit having money taken away from them.
