You want to see a physical demonstration of the term "verbal diarrhea" just watch this.

feck me, this is a lad who's career peaked as a supporting actor on a spin off of Morse, and probably being better known as the deranged ex of Billie Piper, yet they give him a prime time slot..

This is quite the rant.

Quite sad seeing the level of journalism and news plunge to the depths where the US have been for a while now. That model should’ve been confined to them.

I wish someone would invent some "they live" style sunnies I could give me old man so he could see the likes of Farage, Gove, Laurence fecking Fox et al are just vile human scum who only give a feck about themselves

Obviously, massive cnut etc, etc.

Is it not Ava Santina rather than Evans? She's always introduced at Santina on Politics Joe and was yesterday on Paper Cuts too. It's also her Twitter name.

I think she's brilliant, one of the most insightful and entertaining commentators out there. It's funny how Fox uses the word incel as an insult when, if you were doing word association, his name would be one of the first things I'd think of next to incel.

Yeah not to get too much into semantics, but don't incels hate women or something? I.e. they'd heavily approve of that moron Fox's speech.

GB News' only strategy until they fold is to monetise controversy. They're already scraping the barrel with their "commentators" and hosts, not really much room for manoeuvre for them.

Wooton trying to back track..


His reaction only "appears" unacceptable.

I saw a tech job advertised by these guys. Didn't apply, was worried about the negative impact it'd have on the rest of my career. Imagine having GB news on your CV.

:lol:Getting suspended from GB News is a new low, even for Fox. He must be another one running out of mediums through which he can spout his shite.

You could have applied and purposefully fecked up your work, but I guess the risk with that tactic is they’d probably have you presenting the news in a month or two

I thought Wooton himself is suspended / under investigation for gay abuse / grooming claims?

It’s honestly tragic he gets any attention whatsoever. I always think of Sybil Fawlty’s triade agains the builder when I think of Fox, he’s just a moron.

What I don't get is that they claim they're not a news organisation (so they can employ sitting MPs) yet were third in line to ask a question at Sunak's press conference, ahead of Sky News and Ch4.

Fox is busy posting tweets of other people saying unsavoury things in different contexts as though it absolves him of any blame. You can imagine him getting caught for shoplifting or something, standing in front of the judge and asking why he's getting done for this when lots of other people shoplift, too?

Can someone summarise, so I don't have to click anything that might in any way contribute to the promotion of GB news.

Huh, they've been demoted then. So many times I've had the unfortunate timing to have the telly on when there's some sort of Tory press conference going on and they've been first to ask a question.

i reckon they'd be happy to have a token brown face, help validate their "we're not racists" delusions.

Two cnuts were being cnutish on a news channel for cnuts and one cnut overdid the cuntishness and got booted from the the news channel for cnuts. The cnut who fronts the show has since backtracked and said he wasn't really laughing at what the other cnut said. However, the other cnut shared a screenshot of them both laughing like cnuts about their cuntishness and it's only going to get more cnuty from this point onwards.

Either way, the issue is sitting MP's cannot host "news" programs. GB News counter to that is they are a current affairs/entertainment show like GMB etc. Even though they have News in the title and do bulletins, get to ask questions from the press pack
