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

He's getting a right hyding in the Graun

Will ‘close pals’ rally around Dan Wootton as he faces down catfishing allegations? He’d want that, surely | Marina Hyde

The GB News presenter has always offered a very tabloid form of support to celebrities in difficulty. They can’t desert him now, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

[Storm Fox]

So, a man who thinks he is always right and others are beneath him and he is lacking basic empathy; has 'close pals' who are a bunch of egotists, narcissists or right-wing blowhards who have had empathy-ectomies. I'd say the answer is NO.

 

[DaveCinzano]

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

Let's see if we can add some stretch goals and aim for worst month ever

From Mic Wright, who writes:

Since the stories have been published, Byline Times has seen attempts to break into its computer systems and one of the reporters involved in the story has had blood smeared on their car windscreen. Wootton appeared on his TV show this week — yes, he’s still on the air — and ranted about “dark forces”. It appears that the dark forces are not on the side of Byline Times.

"Dark forces"... how Trumpian.

More here.

Dark forces

Dan Wootton is leaning on conspiracy theory in his flailing defence of the indefensible. I have got hold of his begging letter.

Wootton is like the kid in school who does the bully’s dirty work for him, thinking he’s protected from revenge. The byline times are kinda like the nerdy kid from chess club who flips and takes out the sidekick’s teeth. And we fucking love to see it.

Not linking to Wooton's crowdfunder but it's a bit depressing that this much has been donated already. Toby Young predictably promoting it and someone else saying that Wooton is worth 5 million so why the fuck the begging bowl?



e2a i have bunged Byline times a tenner and if/when they set up a crowndfunder to defend the journalists I'll donate to that too.

 

[pbsmooth]

Shameless grifters in their final form - just give me money.

Plenty of right wing cunts for whom 150k is small change unfortunately

Needs to become a criminal prosecution if there's the evidence and there does seem to be.

Heh, if it comes to that he'd best be careful what he wishes for:

 

[two sheds]

Plus messages from all the different email/twitter etc accounts he's accused of using for catfishing

 

[moochedit]

He'd have to give evidence under oath as well

 

[rubbershoes]

He won't be able to remember the passcode

Interesting from Dr Sweet. Looks like the reptile-fanciers are joining the fray

 

[Ax^]

for hue and Schofield's faults they never tried to Griff their supporters

would be quite happy to see GB news go down in flames after their reporting of the last to scandal hit presenters

‘Martin Branning’ – His First Victim

In the third part of a three-year special investigation, Byline Times details the trauma of a man controlled for 10 years by Martin Branning – the pseudonym of TV presenter Dan Wootton

bylinetimes.com

Try again! The latest from Dan's former colleagues at BylineTimes. Martin B is clearly a criminally vicious man, assuming these emails are real.

Yes, I should be more careful. They've already taken out Cupid Stunt.

Fear not. I have a sneaking suspicion he's still around.

Don't worry, the conscience of the nation has everything under control

Newton confirmed the external law firm Kingsley Napley had been hired to advise on the investigation. She said: “On Mr Wootton we are investigating relevant matters raised by reports by Byline Times and the Guardian last week … We take these allegations seriously but we are in no position to comment further and indeed we make no commitment to make any further comment depending on the outcome of our investigation.”

Hopefully MB will be unmasked, whoever he is.

There's plenty of long term monsters out there who get their kicks wielding power like this and making their victims feel hopeless.

“Newton confirmed the external law…”
Unless that sentence ends with something involving gravity, I’d normally be a bit circumspect, but since it’s Wootton…

Dan Wootton Paid Porn Stars with Sun's Depp Money for Covert Catfish Sex Videos – Byline Times

In the fourth part of its three-year special investigation, Byline Times reveals how the GB News presenter and MailOnline columnist used News UK cash to pay male adult actors to secretly film themselves having sex with men he had targeted on Facebook

Lol beat me to it

 

[Tanya1982]

Certainly adds context to his unwholesome obsession with the idea that men are disguising themselves as women to commit sex crimes. It’s often said that many accusations are based on what the person themselves is actually up to. In this case ‘Maria Joseph’ seems to be a busy lady with some byzantine sexual proclivities.
