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

Tell me, "Karen" is deemed sexist and offensive. Why do you think "gammon" is acceptable?

It’s fantastic

Jumpingthruhoops · 06/04/2024 23:32

Totally this! It's so tedious how people continue to rubbish GBN just because it dares to do something vaguely different.

Can't work out why people get so triggered by a channel they deem so irrelevant...

YABU OP

And attention seeking

Just say whatever it is you think YABU about instead of all this secret squirrel crap

Andrew Doyle's 'Free Speech Nation' is worth a watch. Tbf, that's it. I'm not saying he's Bertrand Russell or anything but it's relevant and interesting with key female guests.

Someone whose alternate twitter account has been banned multiple times for hate speech doesn’t sound like a decent person what so ever.

Is that all? What's wrong with liking the sussexes and Kate garraway? Hardly controversial

Surely that makes him far-right?

What’s he done, or do you just mean him being on there has got you choking on self righteous indignation? Loads of great people appear on the channel

well that’s given me a laugh. Tell me some of these great people?!

and apologies for missing a word ‘I can never ironically SING mysterious girl again’ for he is clearly a cunt that sells his soul to the devil and i can play no part in that

All I’m taking from this thread is that I really fancy gammon and chips.

AutumnCrow · 06/04/2024 23:27

Aaw! I've done it for you. Apparently he has some sort of talkie show on GB News channel, and appears to be an admirer of the Sussexes and Kate Garraway, possibly in an attempt to be current and a just a tad controversial.

Tedious, but he's hardly turning into Vlad the Impaler.

Thank you 😊

FFS why do people start threads without actually saying what they're talking about or a least dropping a link, if they can't be arsed?

It’s pretty simple folks. Peter Andre is on GB News and I was shocked by this as always assumed he was a good guy. No attention seeking or clickbait here. Thread just doing what it says on the tin.

I think he will do anything for £££ His management had people they represent on Talk TV. He's never been a good person his attitude towards KP on their reality show was horrific.

How can gammon be used descriptively unless it's about a piece of dead pig?

You know, or should know, that it is a word that is intended to cause offence in exactly the same way that "Karen" is.

Why is it obvious you're not a Peter fan?

You really don't explain your thinking well.

Maybe try watching an episode or two before writing him off. Critical thinking is great!

Andrew Doyle is brilliant.

Pre-Elon anyone could be banned for the slightest TWANW.

I also think Andrew Doyle is brilliant. Free Speech Nation is a great programme. He is so clever and articulate and has given a platform for many people - and particularly women - who are not invited on to mainstream media.

It’s so lazy to say GB News = bad without ever watching any of it. It’s not all Nigel Farage.

Yes indeed.

He gets fantastic guests who the BBC are hurting themselves by ignoring, such as Helen Joyce and Maya. And he’s very gay, is someone claiming GB News is homophobic?!
