  • BBC is joke

    The BBC reporting of US politics is total left-wing biased nonsense. Unbiased and fair is a joke. An embarrassment to the UK and the world.

They were honest, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly without making false promises... more

    The Brit's fear of Cannabis is comical. They act like it's meth.

  • US at 250 episode

    This show basically became a platform for Jeremy to list his grievances against the US including the US slavery problem. Excuse me but if I remember history right it was you British that brought us slavery in the first place. It was you British that we had to break away from for higher ideals yes not perfect but better than a king. Also the one American reporter you had there didn’t defend the US at all. Jeremy makes a point that most countries hate us so why do you all want us involved.

The Global Story: The battle to save James Bond from becoming slop

Q: Did Israel defy Donald Trump's instructions on striking Iran?
