Remember Liz Truss - this from a week ago.

Is it any wonder this poor country is in such a mess? 😡

With Hugh Edwards I felt sad and grubby with the news but with this despicable piece of filth I am assembling a 10 piece gypsy fiddle orchestra and a refugee choir to dance and pee on his metaphorical grave all ending with some twisted Wicker Man immolation. All are welcome - bring a pitchfork.

Inspired! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wootton was Executive Editor

How many executive editors do they have? I can see that James Slack was appointed deputy editor-in-chief in 2021, Victoria Newton is editor-in-chief...

Some friend!

Presumably Andrew Brady's lawyers couldn't produce anything written by Dan Wootton to prove his point?

Actually criticising her being sacked <hence the 'sack'> when Ant McPartlin was kept on for his drink driving conviction. So the article was in support of her despite the crude headline. You really need fo read before you link.

Brave Sarah Vine has broken her silence to show him support on Twitter.

Indeed and retweeting the usual suspects in his defence. That said they probably have a think piece half written in their heads in case it goes the other way - all grist to the tabloid hacks mill, and they are careful to word their tweets as a conditional defence in case the dam breaks.

The headline's enough for me thanks

The headlines are probably written by someone else anyway.

when Caroline was effectively sacked by ITV from Love Island after her arrest, I wrote about the hypocrisy of the broadcaster treating her differently to Ant McPartlin.
While this front page is often cited as being in some way negative towards Caroline, it was to the contrary.
She messaged me to say she was grateful for the coverage and we were already talking about setting up an interview as soon as Caroline was able to speak publicly.

Quite the derailment going on here

Roussette · 19/07/2023 19:29

It will be interesting to see if Dep Tory Chairman Lee Anderson carries on working for GBN if the alleged accusations are true.
After all, he called BBC 'a safe haven for perverts'.
What will that make GBN?

True.

posters get very easily distracted (or maybe relish being distractors) from the actual hypocrisy of certain media outlets to chuck around accusations of hypocrisy about other posters.

MavisMcMinty · 19/07/2023 19:34

Honestly I don’t CARE if Wootton is guilty or not, what I’m enjoying is the turned tables on a horrible man who regularly slates others in the public eye then cries like a baby when someone does the same to him. Dan Wootton is not a nice man, I don’t know why anyone would defend him. Karma, that’s all. It doesn’t happen often enough but when it does it’s lovely.

That's a very supportive article that Wootton wrote about Caroline Flack. Really challenging ITV to give her her job back when she's not been convicted of anything. And reminding them of their duty of care towards her after the deaths of other people involved with ITV programmes.
Absolutely nothing negative about CF, just seemed to be looking out for her.

Why am I being asked to read this as DW writing awful things about her?

Hey up. I'm all for Wootton having his arse handed to him but surely that's got to be based on actual facts and not mistruths. I'd think DW has done enough wrong that he doesn't have to be accused of things that are demonstrably false. There's nothing hypocritical about that. Just be honest and stick to the truth.

Oh the 'headline is enough' apparently. That's enought to have some clutching their pearls but the content is actually supportive as you say. Nasty Wootton 🙄

I'm sure Fred West made good patios and was a dab hand at putting up shelves however ....

YourTruthorMine · 19/07/2023 19:57

Notice the common denominator, both Dan Wooton and Caroline Flack seem to have /had sociopathic exes, That's why I take everything I read on Twitter (or here) with a pinch of salt. There is usually a back story.

That's why Bylines must have more evidence because the stuff that DW's ex was saying, didn't add up. And part 1 was really just regurgitating what the ex had claimed.
I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Arguably worse. We can all agree that Fred West was evil and got his just desserts. The Dan Woottons' of the world and those of his ilk and their billionaire media enablers the Murdoch's and Lord Rothermere's seek to pervert the public discourse and the very foundations of democracy itself, an informed electorate, with their barrage of trivial distortions and distractions and mock outrage of "look over there" whilst they hollow our out society and economies. Indeed, GBNews frames itself as the "People's Channel" taking on the "woke liberal metropolitan establishment" on our behalf when it is of course nothing of the sort. Johnson and Trump were helped to power on the back of their fake news.

They are evil - wolves in sheep's clothing dabbling in the foothills of fascism while the world burns. That's why I hate him and seek his downfall, pure and simple.

Dan Wootton is worse than Fred West!!

Johnson got elected because people liked him, the SNP had a good win and the alternative was Corbyn.
Trump got elected because many Americans felt disenfranchised and they hated Clinton. American voters were not influenced by anything Wootton said. 🙄

Why stop at Fred West? Why not put him on a par with Stalin or Hitler and lump all three democracy pervertors together. Stalin, Hitler and Wootton. Haha.
