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

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.

It's nothing like the term Karen. It's used more like the terms snowflake, remoaner, woke, libtard etc and was repurposed to refer to the impotent red-faced anger that the right display in the face of anything vaguely progressive.

It also works quite well in exposing the hypocrisy in those that get "triggered" by its use, the type that complain about having their language censored, safe-spaces, the perpetually offended, the PC brigade etc.

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.

Ok, but what was this actually referring to?
What has he said, what was this in reference to?!
Why are you talking in riddles?!
I'd go search myself but what the fuck would you want me to do that for lol as these daft threads just cause more traffic to gammon crap

Tetchypants · 07/04/2024 01:53

What the hell is a gammon?

I’ve just taken some bacon chops out of the freezer to have with egg, chips and beans tomorrow, so thanks for the inspiration.

BettyShagter · 06/04/2024 23:53

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 like people on Farcebook {when I used to go on there} who'd say ''SO upset! 😭 '' and wait for people to drag it out of them as to WHY they were upset.

I googled...a 'Gammon'
Copy and paste:

''Gammon is a pejorative {term} popularised in British political culture since around 2012. The term refers in particular to the colour of a white person's flushed face when expressing their strong opinions, as compared to the type of pork of the same name.''

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...

I'm not triggered , I watch it regularly, never considered Eamon Holmes , Alistsir Stewart , Stephen Dixon , Isobel Webster far right .
I've learnt more from GB news than any other news channel , they covered the post office scandal before it was a high profile issue , WASPi women , cladding scandal, leasehold issues , so many things .

Why did you think he was a decent human being 🤣🤣?

He is an absolute loser brought back from the brink of obscurity, by latching himself to Katie price, then subsequently treating her like a piece of shit with his constant gaslighting and emotional abuse.

Then gets with a woman nearly 20 years younger than him.

Yes, what a lovely guy 🙄

This.

Peter Andre has always been a cunt.

pantsalot · 07/04/2024 02:32

But he loves his kids

TheTimeIsNowMaybeNow · 07/04/2024 02:33

I don't think he's as much as a cunt as Katie price

This is a good point. I don’t blame any man for not wanting to be with Katie Price but I feel he knew what she was like to begin with and knew he never see her as a long term option at all, but just used her to revive his dwindling fame.

GlennCloseButNoCigar · 07/04/2024 03:16

Does he love his kids? Is that the big announcement? 😂

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

What’s wrong with gammon?

Know your audience (and lower your expectations); the "C" word has been used multiple times on this thread to insult both Peter Andre and Kate Price.

Yeah I've never understood why anyone thinks he's a nice guy. He makes my skin crawl.

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

This with bells on.

Fullfatandfortyplus · 07/04/2024 05:14

It’s our preferred channel in the morning now. I love Stephen Dixon and Anne Diamond together.

He’s a billionaire and he’s probably using borrowed money to fund the channel so is unbothered by any losses.

For this venture, its not about profit, its about influencing the wider conversation and pushing the Overton window further to the right, in the hope of encouraging the wider public to support Libertarian, Everyman for himself, small state, markets (aka billionaire's) control us politics, in the style of Liz Truss.

If they can create culture war material, have people debating their talking points on places like here and Twitter, they will eventually be picked up by the national press who’ll amplify their messaging. In the national press they will have bots and Reform employees (it’s a company not a party) all over comments sections. UKIP/Reform claim this shows the real people support them, the Tories and Labour pull further to the right as a result . It’s £48m well spent. Value for money.

This. Thank you.

BOOTS52PollyPrissyPants · 07/04/2024 05:23

Don't have that channel over here but I never liked this man, as he was not very kind to Katie with his emotional abuse to her and he never stops going on about how he loves his kids, well of course you should love your kids, oh wait he just had another child, thought he would have been going on there to promote said new baby. He is a slime bag that looks so sneaky and used Katie to get back into the limelight.

UncleHerbie · 07/04/2024 05:29

Luckycloverz · 06/04/2024 23:22

Yes please explain what he said...
I could search it but I have a sleeping baby on me and noisy video clips are a no no right now

Wireless headphones are your friend. I wake early, my husband doesn’t. I’m currently bingeing Peaky Blinders from episode one. He has no idea 😂

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.

Is that literally it?? Ffs you posted like he’d said something offensive or awful.

So he’s started a talk show on a website you don’t like but not actually said anything offensive or awful….and you’ve taken it upon yourself to then start a talk on a website to say something offensive & awful about him?

Not really. My first thought from your post was that he’d been outed as a nonce. But actually you’re just mad he’s got a new job at a company you don’t like. You need to stop assuming people know what you’re referring to if you want an actual conversation.

I still have no fucking clue what's wrong with GB news

Really?! You have not read anything controversial about it? Or realised its stance and target audience by the presenters it chooses and topics it covers?

I appreciate you might not have an issue with it and it may align with your values, but I am surprised you are unaware why others have an issue.
