SKY NEWS: GB news presenter Laurence Fox has been formally suspended by the channel after he refused to apologise for saying of a female journalist live on air: "Show me a self-respecting man that would like to climb into bed with that."

CANCELLED.

At least he has his music career to fall back on.

Looking forward to the even more fascist GB News offshoot that springs up from all this.

It takes someone very special to see the resurfaced clips of Russell Brand and think, “I should be more like that.”

I reckon he’s naively pinning his hopes on getting adopted by Andrew Tate.

Looks like infighting is now taking place too:

In a GB News Throw Each Other Under The Bus contest, the only winners are everybody else.

Wootton suspended now as well.

They didn't mind him sexually assaulting people, but laughing at Laurence Fox's "jokes" was just too much.

Has Musk stuck up for them yet?

Concerning if true.

:lol: Probably the funniest day at GB News since launch month! TalkTV must be laughing their asses off!

For what it's worth, even 10 years ago if you said something like Fox did in a meeting in most blue chip companies, you'd be infront of HR at the very least. It's not a freedom of speech issue, it's about professionalism and basic decency.

I most definitely would shag Ava Evans.

So far this year, I have eaten NO mince pies.

Wonder if this is finally the beginning of the end for the channel. In terms of viewership Wootten was a double edged sword. They've just got rid of their second most popular show (in the context of 24 hour news, at least...), but because he's a banana split, nobody reputable wanted to advertise during his show anyway, so he was bringing in no money.

How will GB News viewers see this - the supposed anti cancel culture, pro free-speech channel has just gone and cancelled two of its main anchors. It's basically what Katie Hopkins said of them back in February:

KK wrote:Professional grifter Katie Hopkins has 'exposed' GBNews for what we all knew, being a load of grifters.

Speaking on her YouTube channel, former Apprentice contestant Katie Hopkins has accused those at GB News of being 'performative actors'

"Farage, Wootton, Fox...all the boys that have been given slots, their job is to make you believe, to convince you [the viewer] that they're the bastions of free speech, and it's a kind of performative art. 'Here's the small number of things I can actually say, now I have to make you look and feel as if I'm on the edge of this and I'm bringing you the only free speech there is', whereas in fact each one of them knows they have to stick within the parameters otherwise they lose their position and they don't want to lose their position; mainly, honestly, because of vanity; because they're paid, because we can't get platforms anywhere else. GB News is kind of the last resort. And for the clicks, and for the eyeballs, and for being somewhat produced, and maybe getting to go to makeup, and having a studio and feeling like you have purpose because you go someplace,"

"Employers, like my employers at Daily Mail and LBC, they want the controversy, they want the outrage, the clicks and the eyeballs, but what they don't want is any of the negative stuff that comes with it. I've said this to so many of my bosses: you love the noise but you don't want some of the fallout from that noise and that's the point with Mark Steyn. They love the clicks but they don't want the fallout for the clips which is going to be the Ofcom stuff because no one is allowed to speak out against the [Covid] vaccine,"

"The boys are looking to self-preserve. That's really the most despicable thing about our side, and that some of the people that are lauded as the front men, Farage, Lawrence Fox, Wootton, is that they're playing the game of the people...who are ultimately harming our family. None of those boys are out amongst us in Trafalgar Square or with ordinary people facing the challenges that ordinary people face but they're pretending to be one of us,"

"There are stories that GB News are either being paid or obligated to take and press and the one cameraman on this planet that I trust more than any other had to exit from GB News because he was being obligated to film a story for the channel that was not true; then it was not authentic, and he was being required to frame it up to make it such that it became truth, and because he wouldn't do that he walked away because he is the authentic truth,"

"Each one of those boys there are basically performative actors trying to convince you they have freedom of speech when they have nothing of the sort, and it's why Wootton and other cheap individuals just keep banging on about Megan and Harry because they know it's a ground they can talk about, it did get them clicks for a while, but frankly it's not moving any agenda forward at all,"

"It's controlled by 'the boys' who have positions there who are willing to keep taking it up the arse quite frankly in order to keep their positions through vanity, through wanting the clicks, through wanting their pay packet, through having a lack of other alternatives, because they're not willing to come out here and do what we do on YouTube and wherever else. And from an Ofcom perspective, they're a real pain in the arse, so all the times I've been reported on to Ofcom, say at LBC, you get hauled in in front of your boss, you have a serious meeting with somebody from HR present, you get given a bollocking about whatever Ofcom says you've done wrong, and you have to give your side of the story."

They lost their position. :cry:

A desperate attempt by Dan to save himself earlier. With all the Ofcom investigations against the channel (11?) he knew he'd strawberry floated it this time.

He’s also blaming “lawless London” for the death of that 15-year-old girl who was stabbed for rejecting a boy’s advances. He thinks it’s more Sadiq Khan‘s fault than that of his hero, Andrew Tate.

It’s hard to see where he goes from here. By being vile about women, he’s alienated himself from most of the cretins who usually agree with him.
