Is anyone not blocked by India Willoughby?

Jolyon Maugham for calling him a negligee-wearing fox botherer.

Oh god - that’s hilarious xx

Willyboy obviously. Emma Kennedy too but she’s a twat.
Jack Munroe, I think for liking someone else’s tweet about her being a phoney fraudster.

The self identified humanists and skeptics have proven themselves not to be the fearless warriors against unreason that they marketed themselves as, but instead to be crowd following populist cowards.

Never believe what someone says about themselves until they are tested.

You're absolutely right about most of them. I think that Richard Dawkins is the honourable exception. I like to think that Christopher Hitchens would have spoken up.

Keith Chegwin, I made a joke on Twitter, he stole it and blocked me. Apparently he did that a lot so I’m surprised nobody else has mentioned him yet.

Because if we mention him then we might have to remember that naked game show that he did.

Andrew Doyle. No idea why. It was when he was doing Free Speech Nation which I loved.

Deborah Frances-White because I criticised The Guilty Feminist podcast for sucking up to the awful man who was running the Edinburgh rape crisis centre.

Cara Santa Maria of the Skeptics Guide to the Universe because I criticised comments she made on her own podcast about "healthcare" for "trans kids".

SGU really annoys me because it's generally an excellent science podcast. They pride themselves on their scepticism, talk about conspiracy theories and cognitive biases but are such cowards on gender ideology. Don't promote it but are silent instead of debunking it like they do with other nonsense.

Just checked and I too have the privilege of being blocked by both H from Steps and India Willoughby. Not sure how I am going to get through the day. Blue Monday, indeed.

shouldofgotamortage · 19/01/2026 07:11

My local MP 😂 and Mrs Hinch of all people as I told her mixing chemicals & spraying them on your bed was dangerous.

India Willoughby, Owen Jones, George Galloway and Jeremy Corbyn. 😂😂😂

Icepop79 · 19/01/2026 07:03

Kirstie Allsopp. Can’t remember the details but something to do with her friendship with the odious Tony Young.

Jolyon Maugham for suggesting biological women might need their own safe spaces.

I got blocked on X by a MP who was going on and on about a local church who had removed the pews and replaced them with chairs. It was all done officially but this MP claimed it was ‘desecration’. I asked if he was a member of the church (he wasn’t) and also why was he so concerned about what people sat on. I thought I was polite - but it earned me a block.

Worried198423 · 19/01/2026 06:34

I got blocked by Marilyn.
I've no idea why

rainandshine38 · 19/01/2026 06:33

Ricky Gervaise blocked me on twitter. Apparently that was something he was doing at the time. I can’t even remember what I said tbh. Nothing too derogatory.

silverringpoles · 19/01/2026 06:11

I got blocked by Richie from Team RH for saying there was no particular ‘magic’ to his weight loss programmes. 😆

I imagine that was probably a relief 🤣

Neurodiversemom · 19/01/2026 06:28

No one has blocked me. But I've blocked many creeps. Lol

TiggerAndHobbes · 19/01/2026 06:25

H from Steps too, but I think thousands have been blocked by him.

Haha, I remember seeing people posting about this once and went and checked on Twitter, and I’d been blocked by him too 😂

I'm also multi-blocked on TwitX for knowing people can't change sex.

I was shadow-banned for so long on there, my tweets & replies became invisible to even my friends & followers and the algorithm now treats me as lowest priority. So I've stopped using it, meaning the ladymen won. Bastards.

Facebook, some real-life friends blocked me over the same issue. I also lost some over Brexit and the pandemic, quite a few during feminism arguments, and several more seem to have unfollowed me. It's strange, 'not speaking' to someone used to be quite a serious measure but, online, it's just routine!

Mumofyellows · 19/01/2026 05:45

Jodie Marsh for questioning something she was saying about ponies she had supposedly rescued.

pnutter · 19/01/2026 01:00

Jason Manford , ages ago , I can’t remember what I posted exactly

RightOnTheEdge · 19/01/2026 00:09

I've just been to check and I am not blocked by H from Steps. I'll have to try harder!

None of you are missing anything, his feed is pretty boring.

We are a club. He blocks every gender critical woman.

Wow really? Guess he can't handle other's opinions then. Bit wet lettuce just to block someone because of a difference in opinion.

Someone being abusive? Fair enough but to me it just lacks intelligence, if someone cannot handle a different opinion to your own.

Saying that I think x formerly known as twatter (to me anyway) and threads is like the cess pit of internet so not worth listening to the likes of him anyway.
