Strange claims there. All the reports I have seen on this have concentrated on the actions that GB News has taken rather than on the cause of them. At least they reacted themselves rather than wait to be told to act.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Speech has always had consequences. What has changed is the seriousness people place on a few hurty words over our lifetime. We are beginning to act like children.

If you were being completely honest, the TV channel he said this on is more significant to people like you than what he said.

The woman should have made some reference to the size of his genitals in response and moved on like grown ups should.

It is the ridiculously disproportionate reaction that I take issue with. I don't defend insulting behaviour but I recognise that it happens to everyone and always will.

GB News a ridiculous post-brexit tory laughing stock.

Come on..GB News have controversial presenters that walk a fine line to attract a certain type of demographic. The station knows the risks that the "send em back, knock her about etc" type crackpots might cross the line.
When they do - in time honoured fashion throw the presenter under the bus, fake outrage and get someone else in.
LBC did the same with Katie Hopkins, until she got the sack for Nazi related comments.
Laurence Fox is facing a big costly libel trial for calling people paedophiles, which if loses, which is likely, might lead him to bankruptcy like Katie Hopkins.
Its a storm in tea cup that has got GB News a bit of free advertising space. A nice bit of reverse engineering. They couldn't give a s*** about Dan Wooten or Laurence Fox. I've heard Richard Littlejohn is looking to comeback - a like for like replacement.

Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

What Fox said was unacceptable.

Wootton should have said something at the time.

Talk TV more worried about GBNews audience numbers than content

MSM BBC, Channel 4, Sky etc in no position to be holier than thou on this.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

GB News have more balance on the serious programming than the competitors. Many Labour and left wing regulars, always giving platforms to Just Stop Oil etc.

Wootton is there to be controversial same as James O'Brien on LBC.

Neither does news or should be taken seriously.
