This is a link post GBeebies lost over £30m last year.
How? They're not exactly at the pinnacle of technical broadcast quality. Local volunteer cable channels often look more polished and professional and they don't haemorrhage millions of pounds a year.

Scumbags like Farage are taking them for every penny they can, obviously, but payroll is *only* £12.75m. Anyone else smell fraud?

This is a normal post I couldn't really give a shit about the financial woes of GB News.

Fix your brain m8.

This is a normal post nothing wrong with my brain mate, just pointing out that the poisonous right wing bigots at GB News don't get any of my sympathy regarding their financial woes
How do you like THEM apples, eh?

This is a normal post That's not the same as claiming not to care though is it m8.

This is a normal post If I'd said that I couldn't give a shout about your post, fair enough.
But I really don't care if GB News go bankrupt, it's always great to see bigots get their comeuppance. My statement was perfectly in line with that, brb, not sure why you couldn't grasp that.

This is a normal post What was it a great mind once said
about fucking stupid statements made on here where the OP doubles down rather than owning it?

You replied to a link titled "GBeebies lost over £30m last year" by saying " I couldn't really give a shit about the financial woes of GB News. Soz m8."
All your subsequent posts have demonstrated that you do in fact care about the financial woes of GB News, while maintaining that you don't.

It's not a drama, it's not important, but you are wrong on the internet so it is my solemn duty to point that out to you.

You can't have opinions on matters that you don't care about. It is literally impossible, m8. So please either live your life not caring, or continue being wrong in this incredibly important argument.

I think my epiphany moment on digital advertising was when FaceBook cheefully showed me an adverts for Nigel Farage talking about Brexit with Christopher Biggins on GBfuckingNews. This was a couple of years ago but how the fuck the algorithm came to the conclusion that this was something I was interested in was a mystery.

Every, fucking, video. I'm convinced YouTube are making their advertising as irritating as possible in order to make you crumble and sign up for a paid account. Fuck that.

I mean, what kind of a mental twatjob would you have to be to put your money in somethign like that?

I also got an advert where Farage popped up saying that for a fee he'd record a personalised message for mothers' day. I told my mum who replied with "you'd be written out of my will before the end of the message."

This is a normal post I had that epiphany in 2014, in the build-up to the Scottish independence referendum
when FB simultaneously suggested I might like a pro-independence page and a pro-union page. Not exactly subtle. It kept suggesting both types right up to the vote. I didn't click any of them.

My favourite was "Great Britain is under attack by Separatists!"

Because DON'T. There's no evidence of tax writeoffs, money laundering and general mischief.
