Sorry I can't reply to that without being obviously political
But..........I would be very surprised if you did not already know the answer to your question

Very fitting for this thread.
They do some great videos. Comparable to ‘joe’.

That is funny.. (if you look at the comedy angle)
It is also funny that everything 'cancel' is associated with being Anti-Britain and anti-tory.. I need some cuddly toys tonight..

It did not take long for a twitter # to appear. ... This is comedy value only.. dont endorse or hate it.

GB News...will be inventing or exaggerating an issue and attaching blame for it to one of their favourite or a new bete noir; get their viewers angry and frightened about said issue - and make sure that they align support of the source and issue with one of the main political parties, ensuring that their angry and scared viewers see the other main party as being on their side. And, as for much of the press of a certain alignment, I fear that that is how it’ll go. Very sadly.
I make no comment or suggestions about which of the main political parties will mostly be involved in this game of influencing public opinion.

Very balanced. Was it with any actual knowledge of watching it or just a prejudiced assumption brought on by the anti propaganda prior to launch?

Except it has nothing to do with the definition of the term "Woke".

Depends on your definition of woke.
Woke is used to mock the hypersensitivity of the left.
And as we know the “woke” or “snowflake” or “politically correct brigade” don’t like opposing views or others subjected to opposing views in their fascist ideology.

It's not my definition. It's the dictionary definition. However, as often happens, the term is then used out of context, or mockingly, for their own use.

Do we have an agreed term we are allowed to use to mock the hypersensitivity of the right? Or can we just use snowflake as a common mocking term for all groups that throw a tantrum when someone doesn't agree with their veiw of the world?

I thought the agreed term was gammon? But snowflake works, as it is now used by the left.
Weaponising words works both ways.

100% balanced as I make no prediction or assertion about who it will be rooting for and who it will be associating with supporting the issue or source.

As someone who considers themself as being slightly right of centre. I think a common term will help bring everyone together.

It's a pity we can't agree to accept that people have differing views without having to use derogatory terms to counter that viewpoint.
Terms like "woke", "snowflake", "liberal", "nazi", etc are now used, mainly in the wrong context or someone's own (incorrect) interpretation of that term as a weapon.
For information, I am left of centre and consider myself "woke" by the dictionary definition above, but I am also respectful of other peoples viewpoints. I would point out my side of it but would do my absolute best not to get in to name-calling to try to add emphasis to my viewpoint.
However, sensationalism seems to be the order of the day and reasoned argument seems to be sadly less prevalent.

Spot on.
Not sure which side I tend towards - I've wobbled slightly in either direction over the years, depending on my view on the issues of the time, but would hope to have always been a thoughtful moderate.
I'm also proud to be English and British and dismayed that some elements feel that anyone who disagrees with their viewpoint must be unpatriotic. It would be nice if our national flag could be less of a weapon for some, after all, it represents a union, not a division.

glad to see it was 100% balanced and not jumping ahead wiuth assumptions!! To quote your balance "GB News...will be inventing or exaggerating an issue and attaching blame for it to one of their favourite or a new bete noir"!
