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

Sure OP but at least he really loves his kids.

User135644 · 07/04/2024 07:59

God forbid he isn't just another liberal clone like most celebs.

Pixiesgirl · 07/04/2024 08:02

Get a grip comes to mind, if you are so sensitive to hearing views contrary to your own, you probably don't have good reasons for holding those views.

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...

Really? You can't see a problem with a hedgefund owned rightwing propaganda channel with close links to the more extreme elements in our Government?

Do you think it's normal that a serving Tory MP gets to invite people like Neema Parveena on for a cosy chat? You know, the guy who posts as Bertie Bassett & Roland rat.

I mean, you get your news from TIk Tok so…people in glass houses eh?

Pixiesgirl · 07/04/2024 08:09

I went zero news during the pandemic. Chris whitty spouting shite, looking like a whipped dog finished me off haha.

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

Most sane women now and back when he was famous (I’m more or less the same age as him) thought he was slimy and creepy back in his Mysterious Girl days and when he was with Katie.

My ex and friend who’s Cypriot (you can’t be Greek Cypriot btw it’s Cypriot) would probably shudder at being associated with him by nationality.

being different is fine. gammon Fascist not so much so

@Februaryfeels ive no idea what you’re on about ‘secret squirrel’?? Trying to get attention? Nope just posting like everyone else on here.

Peter Andre is a gammon fascist because he's on GB News?

I mean, seriously?

Wonkybird · 07/04/2024 08:12

@Laughattheloons are you Katie Price? Hope you are ok hon

I find it very sad that people are watching and enjoying GB News without being able to spot its extreme right agenda.

It's spreading hate by stealth, dressed up as news, when in fact it's opinions and extremely toxic ones at that.

Stupid thickos, it’s a shame all people aren’t as informed and intelligent as you are.
personally, I don’t even think anyone should be allowed a different opinion from what the BBC tell them.

Pixiesgirl · 07/04/2024 08:14

There doesn't seem to be any left or right wing any more, more delulu or reality.

Sillypede · 07/04/2024 08:15

It's basically Loose Women for people who want more white supremacy & misogyny with their chat.

You're welcome to have your rightwing safespace, just stop pretending that it's a news channel.

@JoeLovesGina

I would agree.

And I find the proponents of free speech are often “free speech for me and not for thee”. E.g. Elon who would be more than happy to hire expensive lawyers to shut down a view he disagrees with. And Brand.

Free speech only exists because it can be defined by the opposite. Free speech works in certain situations - when it is understood and is not intended to cause harm. Monitoring of speech is needed in other situations e.g. in schools where bullying speech can cause extreme harm to others.

I’ve never considered Peter Andre to be a leading light in anything - especially his music. I imagine he appears with no real deep/full understanding of the political views expressed there.

VeniVidiWeeWee · 06/04/2024 23:59

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.

Because the term has an alternate meaning now. Do keep up

The other one is also not meant to cause offence. Merely correctly label an absolute twat of a human being

Ignore any faux naivety from its viewers. They fully understand and agree with its agenda. They’re highlighting one or two shows which may be less extreme in order to minimise, but they know what the real deal is with this channel.

They’re the ones in online comments saying things like ‘I’m a lifelong Labour voter but I have no choice but to vote Reform’.

GrandmaMazur · 07/04/2024 00:13

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

No Ta

Would you also advise people to watch an episode or two of Tucker Carlson new show?

Id hope not

Linedbook · 07/04/2024 08:30

What has he actually done/said? Peter Andre has always been someone who will take any work he can get.

I really thought that was Leonardo DiCaprio

Hear ye hear ye.
Peter Andre has a job.
The Earl of Wessex is dead. not dead.

There are very few people who I would describe as great but I do like Andrew Doyle's Free Speech Nation.

He's a left wing gay man, a playwright, journalist and comedian who doesn't like the authoritarianism of many who describe themselves as left wing or progressive.

I'm a dyed in the wool Leftie and have been for years but will happily tune into GB News to watch his show. There are interesting debates and he has many women guests such as Helen Joyce and Sarah Phillimore who are ignored by other news channels.

Anyone who accepts money to regularly go on GB news is not left wing, progressive, or a good person

That is a basic fact

Accepting money, appearing on, and promoting a channel that as a whole is designed to push a far right agenda is not something a ‘prpgressive person’ or anyone who was truly left wing would do.

The fact his alternate twitter account (that he denied for a long time was him btw) was banned multiple times for hate speech, the fact he hosts a show on GB news and promotes the channel in general directly counters every positive thing you’ve said about the man.

The fact you happily tune in for his show, bolstering the viewing figures and supporting the channel is not very left wing of you either.

The daily mail sometimes have journalists that are aligned with normal people’s thinking, what most decent people do though isn’t to buy the paper or log in online to read it because the operation as a whole is negative, and they don’t wish to support it financially.

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 🙄

Pretty much this.

Yup, we have one @cariadlet claiming to be a leftie but tunes in to watch GB news

CountFucula · 07/04/2024 08:39

This thread is weird. I wonder if the frothing masses from X just follow any mention of GB News to any site like terriers chasing rats. There’s a particular tone to some of the posts that marks them - belligerent, High-handed and deliberately wrong headed. A few oblique references to anti-vax agenda and bingo!
No surprise to me that Andre is on GB news. Neither he nor the channel is renowned for its intellect….
