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

GB News have just suspended Laurence Fox until further notice

surely they haven't cancelled him ?

 

[agricola]

Considering all the offensive shite they have been putting out for years, I am a bit bemused by the GBN management on this particular occasion.

Anyway, Fox is refusing to apologise, and is doubling down on his right to freedom of speech.

Laurence Fox breaks silence on sickening GB News rant and refuses to apologise

Laurence Fox has issued a lengthy statement on Twitter following his appearance on GB News on Tuesday night, during which the former actor made several disgusting remarks about a female journalist

GB News suspends Laurence Fox after sick rant about female journalist

I especially like how he refers to his freedom of speech to say things that he did not say in that clip. What he actually said was:

We’re past the watershed so I can say this: show me a single self-respecting man that would like to climb into bed with that woman, ever, ever, who wasn’t a cucked little Incel?

‘That little woman has been fed, spoon-fed oppression day after day after day… starting with the lie of the gender wage gap, and she’s sat there and I’m going, if I met you in a bar and that was like sentence three, chances of me just walking away are just huge.

‘We need powerful strong amazing women who make great points for themselves, we don’t need these sort of feminist 4.0… they’re pathetic and embarrassing. Who would want to shag that?’

Yuck.

I imagine GB News is a bit more sensitive to complaints than usual atm, given Ofcom just fined it and launched five new investigations into its on-air activities to add to the six that were already ongoing.

I'm not saying she's all powerful already, but Fox got suspended about an hour after my daughter was born.

Was there a star in the east? if so and three old geezers knock on your door with dodgy gifts in the next day or so, it's important you report back and let us know straightaway.

And congrats on becoming a Dad by the way, it has its ups and downs but it is an amazing experience that will change your life forever. No matter how often I have fought to fight down the urge to strangle the life out of one of them, I don't have a single regret.

Probably best to get a gift receipt for the frankincense and myrrh.

Congratulations steveo87 I hope everyone is doing well.

Turning Point UK respond to GB News apology on x-twitter :

Not being funny but the male members of our team are constantly told by the left that we’re “virgins”, “clearly no one wants to sleep with us”, “we’re incels” etc etc.

In fact the term incel is constantly used by the left and it’s designed to belittle males for being right wing.

Well the person who used the term "cucked little incel" was Fox. Are they suggesting he's turned "left"? Given that he's the star attraction at their Honor Oak anti-trans 'protest' this Saturday that might be awkward. x-twitter link.

Perhaps they mean a woman 'provoked' him into saying it?

Many female commentators constantly emasculate men and say they think men are ugly or no one will ever sleep with them.

What happened to sticks and stones?

This woman in question is not some Saint she “shrugged off” the male suicide crisis, which if most men were aware of they’d probably give her a wide berth. That’s not misogynist, that’s fact.

Congratulations on the suspension.

Fox's comments have provoked strong reactions from more sensible commentators such as checks notes Dan Hodges

GB News has reached a defining moment. Once Laurence Fox is sacked, they need to decide what they want to be. They have a potentially important role to play on the British broadcast scene. But they need to dump the cranks and conspiracy theorists and Andrew Tate wannabes.

There is an audience for sensible right wing analysis. And it doesn’t have to be conventional analysis or liberal conservative analysis. But it has to be grounded in reason and basic decency. Jacob Rees-Mogg a good example of this.
