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

You just sound really infantile using such terms. Why don't you try to use other words to debate and engage rather than slinging insults and hoping to shut people down?

Do you feel the same about calling people "snowflakes" or "woke"?

I don't know, it could work as an analogy, can men watch porn but think critically enough not to be affected by it in the way some pp's claim to be able to watch a channel that regularly hosts white supremacists & misogynistics and remain unaffected?

I've never actually seen GB news but carrying on defending the use of "gammon" as a valid term in political discourse makes you and its other fans on here look like smug, intolerant thickos, puffed up with your own virtue and too stupid to recognise your own intolerance.

You’re aware I didn’t actually call anyone a gammon right?

Please accept my apologies, I thought that you were defending the use of the term.

Never used them or Karen either.

Of course - any name calling designed to belittle others and stifle debate is not good.

Being a “gammon” is about the most privileged human you can be. It is in no way a vulnerable or minority group.

So that gives you carte blanche to abuse them in any way you see fit? Okay. 🤦🏻‍♀️

But do you find them equally insulting?

@Iluvteandbiscuits thankfully its viewers average 57,000 which is 0.08% of the UK.

Sky News and BBC News also get tiny figures as the majority of people don’t watch news channels they watch their news on main channels or read on the internet.

So beating those channels for 1 day in 2022 is hardly a massive thing.

GB News has a channel on YouTube which has over 1 million subscribers so is obviously popular with a lot of people. I find it funny that they have been taken off air given the blatant lack of impartiality shown by certain left leaning channels on mainstream tv. A lot of people have turned to YouTube because of this. I listen to podcasts by Chris Williamson, Andrew Gold, Jordan Peterson and Douglas Murray but to name a few. All intelligent people. I was going to vote Labour for the first time ever this year but after doing a lot of research and listening to different debates I have become aware of just how intolerant some sections of the left have become as shown by some of the comments on this thread.

Just tested your claim right now, I typed in GB news live into google.

Your claim "a channel that regularly hosts white supremacists & misogynistics" 😂. The last time I watched Nana Akua was on with a great show too.

You prove you do not watch haven't you.

I have no issue with it, it’s a harmless insult.

Well at least you admit to watching porn.

It's the immutable purity of the left. It's the unthinking stance that claimingto be left wing automatically makes you a good person.

Yes it is completely bizarre and the Left never used to be this way to this degree.

Having watched porn. It was pretty unavoidable in the 70s and probably even harder to avoid now. I personally think it's damaging for a host of reasons.

Akua's presence on GB news doesn't prove anything. I am sure that supremacists and misogynists get a lot of validation from the visible support of a few black/brown skinned women who themselves gain quite a lot from the relationship - look at Suella Braverman as an example.

Really? Unavoidable? I lived through the 70s. I've never seen porn. It was extremely easy to avoid.

So you don't watch Saturday 5 every week either then, with all their other presenters?
