Said with a sneer by Roland Oliphant about the "Unite the Flag" march in London on 13th Sept where approx. 500k to 1m attended a peaceful, unmasked celebration. Many honest concerned families with their children "They like to talk about the grooming gangs".
Main stream media so out of touch with normal folk- UNSUBSCRIBE!
Female co-host couldn’t get enough attacking Israel in the most recent episode. Spitting out non-facts and comparing Israel’s attack on the organizers of one of the worst terrorist attacks in Israeli history, only second to the Holocaust, to “Kim striking someone he doesn’t like”? Get a grip! Unsubscribed
Bemoaning the erosion of ‘international law and order’ so soon, mates? Brush up on your Thucydides, yeah? From the former Dominion of Canada, where our fondness for ‘land acknowledgement’ is stupifyingly ironic.
Not worthy of Telegraph and particularly biased against Israel. If I wanted to hear Qatari inspired polemics I would be tuning in to BBC …. Telegraph pls do better
It would be nice if they raised the overall IQ of the show above the swamp level of gutter press it is. They cover great topics but do so in an annoyingly tabloid way which is the Telegraph brand. You guys would save yourselves to severe relations with the Telegraph and go out on your own and lose the sensationalist approach.
