I'm sure it's just resting in his account

According to David Yelland on Newsnight they've only suspended the dynamic duo because Paul Marshall, GB News's financial backer is trying to takeover the Daily Telegraph.

Some jumped up bellend on sky news live defending them. Connor something or other?

Some context here:

Yeh, she complained on air about why she was supposed to be there! That wanker started talking really slowly to her like she was thick, the cunt

 

[steveseagull]

Full video here. Think she was a bit pissed off getting pitted against an incel with little warning

 

[two sheds]

Fuck me he's an objectional twat. She does well particularly under circumstances:

"you're pulling it out of your bum"

Looks like the cursed love child of Daniel Craig and Pob.

what?

 

[farmerbarleymow]

The twat comes across as a complete fucking knob.

That Moya handled it really well though, giving that punchable pillock the short shrift he deserves.

Fox's comments have provoked strong reactions from more sensible commentators such as checks notes Brendan O'Neill (Spiked - archived)

Why is O'Neill making out it's a class issue? Plenty of working-class women would find Fox weird and gross too.

Re the England women's team, I'm pretty sure it was just one person complaining about them being overly white but of course GB News have to make a big hooha of it. I thought women's football was a bit woke for them, what with all the lesbians. And silly little girls who think they can play a man's sport.

its by the numbers autocontrarian stuff from fivehead, impossible to take him seriously after a while. I think his savile column was the nadir.

I put this on the dedicated Fox thread, but for those not following that thread...

Times Radio having fun, Joan Bakewell calls Fox a dick and an idiot, presenter cracks up, Quentin Letts suggests Bakewell should wash her mouth out, whilst also cracking up and completely agreeing with her, calling Fox a cur and a prat.

GB News, vaugeley aware of its existence. Times Radio, Rumble, the myriad other platforms that the Fox and Brand threads (and previously Hopkins) have thrown up that have never heard of; who the fuck is watching all this crap? Do they really have that much time on their hands that they are actively searching out this obscure shit.

 

[pesh]

Always good to see someone railing against obscure web platforms and people with too much time on their hands on Urban75

I agree re-Rumble and some other online platforms, but you can't watch Times Radio, the clue is in the name.

They do put clips up on twitter & youtube, but AFAIA there's no way of watching it live, it's a national radio station on DAB, etc., and not a bad alternative to Radio 4, TBH.

Dan wotton has been sacked from the mail

 

[DaveCinzano]

Wootton booted by the Mail

Dan Wootton sacked by MailOnline a day after GB News suspension

Journalist’s column and contract terminated after comments made by Laurence Fox on his GB News show

www.theguardian.com

 

[cupid_stunt]

MailOnline has now ended Wootton’s contract, which was understood to give the journalist a six-figure salary in return for two columns a week.

Turned out well again today.

 

[Augie March]

I'm not convinced this was the reason why they sacked him, just a nice convenient one to get him off the payroll now.

More likely it was those thousands of skeletons bustling to fall out of the closet marked "Things Dan Did" that made them finally push the eject button.

 

[cupid_stunt]

And, apparently both Fox & Wootton have been called in for meetings at GB News tomorrow, so with luck, it'll turn out well tomorrow too.

 

[Storm Fox]

steveo87's daughter is really putting the effort in!

Yep think that's the case with both the mail and gb news.

 

[Rob Ray]

Honestly I think it reflects worse on the Mail and Gbeebies that they were clearly both giving him the "one more mistake sonny" treatment over multiple flat-out blackmails and it was only an on-air fuckup that finally did for him.

The final straw that broke the camel's back, is not a particular unusual way of being shown the exit door.

Ofcom now investigating the Dan Wotton show and the comment made by Laurence Fox

Just how many investigations are their at the moment from Ofcom into GB news
