I highly doubt that.

[bobinho]

I highly doubt that.

Is that because it’s from the BBC?

[Stayingup]

I highly doubt that.

Highly doubt? Strongly words.

[LeadBelly]

I doubt JHB would want that gig and doubt it would be offered to her but it would be hilarious to see a "righty" like her amongst the heavily "lefty" dominated BBC. She'd be strongly outnumbered but battle in feisty fashion no doubt; Rorke's Drift.

There have been a few contentious appointments suggested recently, and I think this is just another.

We on the right have had to put up with the equivalent for years.

Suck it up lefties.

I think you'll be waiting a lot longer, because I don't think Dacre, Moore, and Brewer are going to be getting jobs at the BBC. At least you have Talk Radio, whatever the Murdoch radio offering is now, and lots of newspapers to choose from.

Did you read that in the Daily Mail? The whole country is crawling with Bolsheviks, and only a massive cancellation will do.

Dear me cheap shot that was Andrew.

How do I know it? Like most people know it by observing whats going on around me. And its one reason why the last election result was a landslide victory for the Tories.
The general public at large is not Woke and does not like it. You are are in a minority. Tony Blair stuffed these organisations with like minded people. The right kept quiet. Now the boot is on the other foot and the left dont like it.

[yTib]

a truly horrid woman.

no doubt rowls has fantasies about this ghoul.

[Devils_Advocate]

I used to think the opposite of "woke" was "slept".

But it's actually "thick".

If “Woke” means being “alert to injustice, especially racism” then I don’t think “most people” are against it. If you’re defining “woke” as something else, then you’re probably not talking about the same thing.

How many of Blair’s appointments are still in post, and what left wing credentials do they have?

What's weird is that if you search the site for "hate preacher" the only journalist you can find being described that way is James O'Brien. I kid you not.

[Alanstevensonsgloves]

Fat Frank is a fan. I bet he has at least 2 reasons why!!

[Quicknick]

I would.
