I'm not going to watch, vote or engage with their social media. I plan to turn my back the same way he did to teenage musicians. I nothing would make me happier than seeing IACGMOFH veiwing figures collaps because of him.

So, AIBU or not?

I don't need the appearance of that twat to continue with my boycott of such an utter unmitigated pile of prurient wank. YABU to ever watch such shit in the first place

Hear, hear.

Notaflippinclue · 17/11/2023 10:05

You sound like those pro Hamas telling us not to eat Macdonalds or Pret A Manger - makes me want to buy their stuff more

Jason118 · 17/11/2023 10:08

I'm not watching it because it's shit, regardless of who is in it. Bubblegum tv is not my thing Grin

I strongly suspect that the OP has achieved the very opposite of his/her intention.

Loads more are now going to watch, perhaps for the first time, because they weren't aware dickhead was going to be on it!

I never watch it, but I understand that Matt Hancock (another tosser) played a blinder on it last year, which obviously upset a lot of people who wanted to see him humiliated.

Seems to me that Entertainment is not the vehicle to promote Party Politics successfully.

Nigel will surely be heartbroken to learn all these virtue signallers won't be watching 😉

”Nigel” won’t give a shiny to learn the dog whistlers are watching. He’ll have been paid already. Hope he can find a bank that will take it.

MissTrip82 · 17/11/2023 10:35

It makes me quite pleased that someone with his political views is so desperate to claw back attention he’ll do this show.

He has 1.5 million reasons to do the show, political motivations are secondary.
He's a grifter. He only does what he does for financial gain, there's no political conviction.

orchardsquare · 17/11/2023 10:41

I never watch stuff like that anyway, but Nigel Farage being in it wouldn't be a reason for me not to, if I did.

RoseBucket · 17/11/2023 10:42

I’m a grown up so I’m going to watch it and not flounce because someone I don’t like is in it.

That is high. I just googled to see

Yep I reckon he’s happy with that

CornishGem1975 · 17/11/2023 10:47

Nope, I'm watching for the first time in a few years because he is in it. It's been as dull AF and he'll at least make it entertaining one way or another.

Wherethewildthymeblows · 17/11/2023 10:56

IACGMOOH is my trashy indulgence every year so I will still be watching. I find it easy to separate the reputation from the person and I often find you get a completely different view of someone by the end of it. Eg, everything political aside, Matt Hancock was one hell of a good contestant last year. Vicky Pattison was outstanding her year. Even Boy George had an interesting side to him when he stopped chanting.
It's the psychology and glimpses into people's souls I find so fascinating.

Newsflash: even insects feel pain. Inflicting it deliberately, for entertainment, is sick. Would you do the same to a dog?

Insects aren't as cute as dogs

Bonjovispjs · 17/11/2023 10:57

I'll be watching as I always do. I don't actually care who's in it, I just watch it because I like it (and I love Ant and Dec)

Snippit · 17/11/2023 11:07

Haven’t watched it for years, in fact I stopped when Holly Willabooby stepped in, she annoys me. Fed up a Z class celebrities, I haven’t even heard of half of them, and why the hell is Britney Spears sister in there?

Let’s hope Nigel Farage gets eaten by something or at least gets bitten by something super poisonous 🤣

I do wish MN had a tag feature for all the racists outing themselves on here Grin

Watch this. If you don’t, then I will say you have cancelled all of these UK drill artists.

What an odd equivalence. You appear to have read:

Everyone has to watch everything ever made or else they are cancelling it.

vs what my post actually was saying.

Calling for others to boycott a show, even asking to join a campaign to attempt to damage that shows revenue, because you personally don’t agree with a person on it when you could just choose to…not watch, is stupid cancel culture.

Stupid in particular because these things often achieve the undesired outcome, just ask those who attempted to boycott the game ‘Hogwarts Legacy’.

Who are the racists? Anyone in the country who watches this tv show?

I don't watch the program anyway but think the purity spirals are a pile of shit

😁

I certainly will be watching and I hope he wins!

Notaflippinclue · 17/11/2023 13:14

Are you saying racist because he wants to stop the boats? Most of the western world are trying to stop the boats - or racist because the west has realised multiculturalism has failed miserably

Brumbies · 17/11/2023 13:18

It's not racist to want to control our borders. If you'd travel anywhere in the E, you'd find you need a visa. That's how you control borders. Overstay your visa you'll get deported. Is that racist?

LakieLady · 17/11/2023 13:28

I don't watch it anyway, but if I did, I wouldn't watch it this year.

He's an odious POS who has done untold damage to this country. I can't bear the man and watching him would do my blood pressure no good at all.
