If the search function is correct, his last post on here was 21 January, on a thread about Ukraine. Onandupthepars had just reported him to admin for something or other. I`m hoping he has just taken a petted lip, rather than anything sinister has happened to him. He did have some good posts regarding a range of topics and some great memories of The Pars. It was interesting to read his viewpoint from living in Russia, but you could see a difference in his posts from before the war on Ukraine to after. He would occasionally be critical of the country and Putin when required previously but that did shift fairly quickly. I`m guessing he didn`t always believe what he was saying, but had decided it would be safer, to toe the party line. I`m hoping he comes back Reply |

Author: Buspasspar Date: Mon 18th Mar 2024. 11:56 From Aunty :- Five episodes of GB News programmes hosted by serving Tory MPs have been found to have broken broadcasting rules by media regulator Ofcom. They include two episodes of Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg`s State of the Nation, and three of shows fronted by married MPs Esther McVey and Philip Davies. Politicians are not normally allowed to host news programmes under Ofcom rules, but can present current affair shows. GB News said it was "deeply concerned" by the "chilling" decision. The episodes in question were broadcast in May and June 2023, and included a mix of news and current affairs, Ofcom said. But during the programmes, the "host politicians acted as newsreaders, news interviewers or news reporters in sequences which clearly constituted news - including reporting breaking news events - without exceptional justification", according to Ofcom investigations. The regulator concluded: "News was, therefore, not presented with due impartiality." We are forever shaped by the Children we once were Reply |
