Awaken the warrior within

Andrew Neil today slammed 'woke warriors' for trying to cancel his new GB News channel before it even starts. The former BBC presenter laid into activists after they launched a sabotage campaign against his soon-to-be-launched TV channel. Twitter activists are urging firms not to advertise with the new station under the hashtag 'Don'tFundGBNews', because they fear the channel will be 'like America's Fox News' - a comparison bosses have rejected. And those backing the campaign, including equality campaigner Femi Oluwole, have threatened to cancel their phone contracts if companies such as EE and Vodafone pay for advertising spaces on the channel. But Mr Neil, who is the chairman of GB News, today hit out at those behind the campaign. His comments come as he described news debate in Britain as 'increasingly woke and out of touch with the majority of its people' in an interview with the Sunday Express.

WARNING: SPOILERS FOLLOW Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be the darkest film yet seen in the long-running space saga, according to an alleged leak of key information from a user claiming to be a Lucasfilm employee on the 4chan message board. JJ Abrams’s film reportedly takes place against the backdrop of a 40-year war of attrition between Imperial and Rebel forces, with the standoff compared to the second world war’s European theatre in 1944. A number of new characters have developed nascent Jedi powers, but without Luke Skywalker to train them they are unable to realise their full potential. The new film is said to feature little of the comedy that lightened the original trilogy, though what comic relief there is comes from perennial droid sidekicks R2-D2 and C-3PO.
