I wish there was an alternative news channel set up by a more left of centre group of people

And you know why there isn't (or maybe you don't with your pink tinted glasses), and there never will be - it's because you and Lazz & Co are in a minority, not only in this country. but also on this forum.

We'll see.

There's only about five of us on this forum. And that's a good day.

Yes, but we make up for it with enthusiasm.

Certainly on this forum! Not so sure about the country.

Tory Defence Secretary Grant Shapps spoke to a mostly empty room at Conservative Party conference - as party faithful failed to turn up for his keynote speech.

Ministers' speeches have been held in a relatively small auditorium compared to other party conferences.

But still top Tories have been forced to stuff the front rows of the hall with their own aides so broadcast cameras have people in seats to cut away to during their speeches.

A gloomy mood took hold as party faithful arrived at their annual conference in Manchester - with rain falling on delegates and senior party figures openly suggesting the party are on course to lose the next election.

Infighting over HS2 and tax policy bubbled over into fringe events, while a "beauty contest" of Rishi Sunak's rivals hoping to replace the PM was the talk of the conference centre.

Tory chairman Greg Hands was reduced to hawking novelty footwear from the conference stage, urging delegates to buy £16.99 flip-flops bearing Keir Starmer's face.

And as in life, make the loudest annoying noise.

I think there were more people in the demo outside than there were in the hall...

They even had to do (another) u-turn and let journalists in for free after all

Let's hope by the next Tory conference Braverman will have taken Sunaks job - then they can hold that one in a phone box

You keep telling yourself that, as it makes for a bloody boring thread with the three or four of you back-slapping each other, thinking how you hold all the cards and answers to the world's ills, 'cos you don't.

Take a step back and look at this forum - it's just you, lofty and Chris Hallam (and maybe one other) each telling each other how f**king right you are and how everyone else are prats - then have a chuckle to yourself in your self deluded believe that you know the truth and way to salvation. "Well that went well 🙂 [insert - Lazz/lofty/Hallam] agreed with me"

Here endeth the reading

Lol, Herc! You, Billy Bunter and Goodllad do exactly the same thing! You're essentially mirror images of each other!

Speaking for myself, I have never slapped anyone on the back. Certainly not since covid (I keep everyone at two metres' distance). And I am unanimous in that.

It's pretty unacceptable that they can get away with their pro-Tory party propaganda

Have you not watched the BBC? And Gary Lineker?

Here we go again, as you are SO wrong yet again, as with Billy's post I have NEVER agreed and done back slapping with anyone on this thread or any other, and and as usual you're making it up from a figment of your imagination.

So, I see your Lol, and raise you 😆😂🤣😆😂😂😆😂🤣

Careful, or I'll come onto your Rapey Postcards thread...
Lighten up, Herc.
I happen to believe in what I say, and I believe in my right to say it.
None of it is controversial, not in the real world, anyway - at least half the population would nod in agreement.
If you don't like it, then etiquette demands that you are the one who retires gracefully.
Or, you could make a reasoned argument for your position - many do on this site - and stop moaning.

Have you not watched Fiona Bruce on Question Time, or Laura Kuenssberg?
Remember Corbyn's Lenin cap on Newsnight?
At best, the BBC tries to steer a middle line.
The fact that both sides think the Beeb is biased towrads the other says all you need to know.

He means it Herc - he was in the golf thread t'other day being all smug and that.
