GB News: a thread so you never have to watch it

[Tanya1982]

Of course, this isn’t the first pandemic where the accusation had been made. During the great plague, Jews were singled out as having poisoned the wells while remaining personally immune from infection. Bev Turner might be happy enough living in the 14th century but it is strange that a national broadcaster in the 21st century would give her the freedom to do so while working for them.

GB news is no more of a 'threat' to the establishment as I am.

You are Carlos the Jackal and I claim my five pounds please.

If there is such a thing as thoroughly justifiable pile-on, this would be a good candidate for it. I hope it gets much, much, much worse for the sack of shit.

"Exposed" for what, Danny boy? Plenty of people become intoxicated to the point of unconsciousness without it making the papers. How the fuck is that news?

It's just humiliation and misery for its own sake, the raison d'être of the Sun and its ilk.

Asleep on the ground at Glastonbury. Why did noone think of it before?

Some of the comments under that post are breathtakingly callous.

Evergreen post from DotCommunist in 2012:

There was supposed to be part 2 dropping this afternoon. If it is going to drop now, it is likely to be around 9.10pm

Update from Byline. A load of new info has come in which they are processing. I suspect there is a hell of a lot of info out there and many people with info.

Will the powers that be stop at nothing in their attempts to shut down Britain’s only true freedom of speech platform?

A powerful statement but personally I don’t share her magnanimous sentiment in the last paragraph. I want to see him and everyone like him utterly ground into the dirt.

 

[teqniq]

Yes, it is difficult to have any sympathy whatsoever. I despised him long before any of this surfaced and this just feels like a large helping of karma.

Popbitch be cracking knuckles in a leisurely fashion

​

​ ​ ​ >> Bran management <<​ The man of the moment​ Dan Wootton has replaced Huw Edwards at the centre of this week's media storm – and, unlike Huw, Dan decided to address the allegations facing him on air. In his big Errors Of Judgement speech on Tuesday night, Wootton claimed that the so-called smear campaign against him was the result of "nefarious players" and "dark forces" trying to shut down GB News. An interesting theory, but anyone who received Issue 1029 of Popbitch will know that our first questions about the mysterious Martin Branning appeared in March 2021 – a full three months before GB News launched. It's typical of Dan to be so modest and self-effacing, of course, but we hope he realises people aren't just interested in this story because of the connection to GB News. They're interested in it because of him. And it's extremely well deserved.​

​

​ ​ ​ Life Imitating Art, pt.645: Max Branning (the EastEnders character that reportedly inspired the alias Martin Branning) was famously brought down by a video tape.​

​

​ ​ ​ >> Confidence boost <<​ The blind-copied leading the blind​ We're glad to see the Sun has taken us up on the advice we offered them last week, launching a proper investigation into their former golden boy, Dan Wootton. It sounds like it's in safe hands. HR sent out emails this week to employees they thought might potentially have been affected by the alleged actions of Wootton, or could shine some light on his time at the News Of The World and the Sun. And on at least one of those emails, forgot to use BCC – so all the individuals who received the email could see who else got it too.​

​

​ ​ ​ >> Vard luck <<​ Reviewing the record​ During the Phillip Schofield saga, Dan Wootton wrote in his regular Mail column that the reason he quit his job at ITV was because they tried to ban him from talking about Schofield and Meghan Markle on air. Unwilling to be bound by such suffocating conditions, Dan claims he proudly told them where to stick their job – and left. This might astound you, but it seems recollections of those events differ somewhat from person to person. The story that survives at ITV is that Dan was suspected of leaking stories that he'd gleaned from hanging around at ITV and feeding them back to his paymasters at The Sun – in breach of the terms of his employment. To make sure it wasn't coincidence, they pulled the old Wagatha Christie trick on him: deliberately floating some fake gossip his way to see if – by some miracle – it made its way into the paper. And it did. So they dropped him.​

Well there are loads of stories from Phone Hacking and the like that proved some celeb journalists had some rather dodgy people in their contacts

Well, 'Axe a silly question', as (lawyers have suggested we emphasise) Jonathan Rees definitely did not say to Glenn Vian over a quiet pint in a pub

I wonder who GB News bank with.

The bank that likes to say "Да".

 

[Lotte]

Yes exactly. It would probably surprise Israel too, which had a pretty severe lockdown, and whose very first established Covid death was an Ashkenazi Jewish survivor of the Holocaust.

Jews getting it in the neck for COVID doesn't surprise me, we've been blamed for plagues for centuries.

Btw I had it for a week and it was shit. Nasty sore throat for a couple of days, and then just feeling like I had really bad flu. And this was after I'd had a jab, which Turner no doubt is against because she has the antivaxxer symbol on her header.

Someone's Dan in the dumps

It is his worst week ever. Fantastic. The man is shitting brick the size of breeze blocks.
