It’s not so much as an apology as a very long whining video in which he says he shouldn’t have done it almost immediately followed by complaining he’s been made a scapegoat and it’s not fair. And then attacking Wootton and GB news for throwing him under the bus.

@bombastix

A 2002 article suggests the reason he was kicked out of Harrow was something to do with a girl (and it was so bad nearly 2 decades ago, where let's face it standards were very different) that no uni would have him. Suggests a long history of him treating women badly.

She is the one, who said to use false rape claims to frighten men, live on air, her sort have no place amongst decent women. Imagine if one of your own fell victim to her poisonous suggestion.

Hard to believe she never received a police caution, for her dangerously irresponsible comment.

That isn't what she said at all though.

Here you go, this explains how her words were misrepresented:

I think the fact that GBN knew what he was going to say is key here. Same as the BBC and RB. It only becomes a problem to them when women complain.

Yes LF is a monumental twat, but we need to really open our eyes to how much of the narrative the media controls and how my misogyny is within tolerance for them in proportion to the risk of women "kicking off".

bombastix · 29/09/2023 08:47

@Toomuch2019 - ah well there we are. In other words he seems to long have been the kind of man resistant to moral authority.

Explains a lot. Even if raised as an evangelical Christian!!!

Michelle Dewberry, apparently one of the presenters on GBN, was on ITV this morning. Complaining about all the mainstream bias and non reporting of things like grooming gangs, she was then given a list of the coverage GMB had done and people they'd had on, so she went on to Brexit and how mainstream hadn't given a voice to Brexit supporters. Iain Dale was on, pointed out he was a brexiteer and he's on GMB a couple of times a week, although he did agree panels would be remain heavy.

She then tried to have a go at Jacqui Smith who wiped the floor with her. She accused JS of laughing about the panels being remain heavy, actually I think Jacqui Smith was laughing about Iain Dale being on TV regularly as a brexiteer while being told brexiteers weren't on.

She didn't make me want to watch her programme. Don't know if that is the normal standard.

The head of GB news was on Radio 4 today to express contrition while simultaneously defending his network and their practices.

They had a field day with him.

newnamethanks · 29/09/2023 10:25

Michelle Dewberry, another GB apologist. 'Quick, wheel her out, she's a woman'.

newnamethanks · 29/09/2023 10:34

Just read the article about LF linked above. His father was sent to Harrow school and hated it. So the obvious thing to do was to send his son there too.

Coveescapee · 29/09/2023 10:42

Why would radio 4 have a field day with the head of GB News when the BBC have done alot worse and didn't even sack the people involved. Eg Jonathan Ross. They need to clean out their own stables first.

NigelHarmansNewWife · 29/09/2023 11:15

I don't think the BBC is having a field day, it was a robust interview.

bombastix · 29/09/2023 12:00

I imagine the head of GB News has a few problems with the lack of or possibly sn editorial policy that allows Fox to do this and be agreed with.

The BBC does not currently have such issues. If it did, then I think you would get a similar outcome.

longwayoff · 29/09/2023 12:30

Whilst it passes the time to watch misogyny and hate apologists get more and more cross attempting to defend the indefensible, its getting tedious now. Got anything else?

BIossomtoes · 29/09/2023 17:58

They’re dropping like flies.

Calvin Robinson has become the third GB News presenter to be suspended in a matter of days after he shared his support for Dan Wootton online.

RafaistheKingofClay · 29/09/2023 18:18

Fingers crossed for Neil Oliver next.

If they get rid of all the rot, who will be left?

What has Neil Oiver done ?

TooBigForMyBoots · 29/09/2023 19:42

Lost it. You can find him delivering monologues in support of Russia and the likes of Russell Brand nowadays @Mrsjayy.

Did he have some sort of breakdown?Sad

Mrsjayy · 29/09/2023 19:46

Really ? I'm going to have to look Neil Oliver up he lives in my town well I'm on on the outskirts but I see him out and about I am shocked that he has "turned"

Calvin Robinson has been suspended apparently. He is the religious minister?

Yes, he’s a deacon in the “Free Church of England”, a breakaway sect. The real Church of England wouldn’t have him.

Thanks, I do remember reading something on another thread about him but couldn't remember the details.

I thought Neil Oliver did documentaries about history, I didn't realise he was on GBNews.

I know Anne Diamond is and she gets on my nerves.
