    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 11 13:23:33 2023
    So actually, does anyone know why there are so many adverts for Welsh businesses on GB News?

    Possibly because Cardiff TV broadcasts some of their content.

    [snip info posted incorrectly below my sig]

    Your problem, your usual one of bigoted broken thinking, is not whether
    the Sheffield station is actually marxist or not, it's that by your own admission you were stereotyping *ALL* local broadcasting stations on the
    basis of just *ONE* example.

    Maybe from Welsh-speakers who ignore the English language, so have no idea
    what the 'content' of the channel is... or maybe it amuses them to
    encourage the English to watch Gor Blimey Noose. 8-]

    Can you name any 'good' fascists?

    It sort of comes with the territory, anyone at either end of the
    spectrum tends to be a bit 'not good'.

    It is hard to distinguish between Fascists and Marxists.

    He accepted that this had been a mistake.

    He used to claim that he wasn't a Marxist at all.

    That wasn't the reason for my saying he's a good Marxist.
