GB News’s first week has been the definition of car-crash television.
It’s been quite literally painful to watch some of the interactions between the presenters and guests, and the presenters and the audience, and even between the presenters themselves.
Nonetheless, people have been watching the channel’s amateurish output.

Today, one of their reporters was in London trying to speak to some Scotland fans to find out their feelings ahead of the game against England.
Unfortunately, it seemed none of them were particularly interested in talking to them.

What followed is yet more car-crash television.
While the reporter tries to beckon fans wearing Saltires and Lion Rampants over to talk to her, they’re apparently more interested in talking to each other.
Quelle surprise.
The reporter is of the opinion that these Scots won’t talk to GB News as it’s “too early, they’re not on the beer yet”.
We are of a different one.
Whilst this didn’t go to plan, it could’ve gone a lot, lot worse. #GBNewsFails pic.twitter.com/4mkszFLJa4

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
