Peter Andre on GB News

[Laughattheloons]

This has thrown me. I’ve just seen a TikTok about it. Obviously not a Peter fan but always just assumed he was a decent good guy. Clearly not. I can never ironic Mysterious Girl again

No but it has been imported in the last decade. Hence right wing being a slur. Broadly British politics are central but by important extreme left wing there is a fringe of right wing who feels stifled developing.

@Underthinker

I don’t it’s a case for censorship. I think it’s a case for considering the advantages/disadvantages of free speech.
Rather than being ‘dismissive’. Which - as a term in itself - could be seen as a shut down! Or assuming the poster is advocating censorship…

So because it's online makes it ok?
Cyber bullying is not ok.

White and working class are just facts. Not credentials. Just because you have a working class background does not mean you don't have to listen to alternative viewpoints.

Although as a man that may be something you don't often heat.

Interesting you ignored the literacy element of my post though.

They don’t want to understand unfortunately

They are the definition of ignorance

"Right wing" is not a slur, how ridiculous. 😂

Anyway, you might find this thread interesting.

Key chart: UK Cons are way more liberal than US Reps on ~every measure.

On some issues, British Conservatives are even more liberal than US Democrats, such as on whether being Christian matters to being truly British/American, and — related — whether abortion is justifiable.

The British right is a million miles from the American Christian right.

Oooh don’t be a racist, calling me a sheep is so racist

Erm I'm pretty sure that's what I said. Or are you trying to say the uk is less likely to support abortion than the UK. That's patiently not true.

The person claiming he was left wing I assume

Always handy to read the context of replies before looking a bit stupid

I don't know what's going on with these Aussies. Never mind Peter Andre, Holly Valance thinks Liz Truss is awesome and backs JRM for prime minister

Absolutely agree with this. I’m an EU citizen and was pro-remain, even though I didn’t have a vote.
Childish name calling of people who have different opinions doesn’t help anyone.

To be honest I'm finding your posts a bit hard to follow.

I guess Holly Valance thinks that Liz Truss is awesome because she's rich enough not to have to live with the fallout of that disastrous budget!

Oooh don’t be a racist, calling me a sheep is so racist

You'd honestly have more credence if you didn't die on the hill of using 'gammon' as an insult.

Gammon is/was funny because it described something we could relate to from seeing a certain kind of person acting a certain way. And yes, it directly relates to race and class, and is to some degree racist. No point playing dumb.

Twaw not twat obviously.

So are we trying to censor the word ‘gammon’ or allow it under free speech?

It’s GB News, ultra right wing channel. I don’t see anything unreasonable about having people who are prepared to support it.

Real life people aren't called the n word or the p word either, but they're still offensive

I’ve just switched it on and that right wing, facist gammon, Julie Bindel is being interviewed.

Well said. And it’s not even as if the term “gammon” is given and applied indiscriminately to any white old men. It’s given to a certain subsection of frothy raging intolerant ones.

And ironically many of them would happily call a lot of POC or young people “woke” in a negative use of the word but far be it for anyone to label them back. That’s not allowed 😅

I first came across gammon as an insult in Dickens, so no not an American import

Sad to see PA is using GBeebies as an outlet for his midlife crisis.

I don't think anyone said it was. It's questioning some of the imported American ideals that will get you called a gammon though, like women don't have penises. Not progressive see.

Yeah listening to some excerpts from a recent interview from Holly was terrifying.

Saying how bad it was for Andrew Tate to be locked up, and calling Greta a demonic troll or something like that - no a gremlin.

Not sure how it can ever be a good look to defend Tate and demonise Greta
