I know the link is to a fierce critic of GB News but it's the only account I can see that posted the full context, most only played a clip. Any footage has been memory holed from YouTube.
For context, a journalist for JOE appeared on the BBC to mock and ridicule an MP who asked for a Minister for Men to balance out the existing appointment of a Minister for Women. On Dan Wootton Tonight, Laurence Fox blasted the journalist by decrying her as a modern day feminist that no-one unless they were a "cucked little incel" would sleep with. He states further that no self-respecting man would engage in a date with her and asks "who'd wanna shag that?".
Ofcom are now investigating the channel and the Metropolitan Police have been contacted regarding Fox's comments and whether they would be in breach of section 127 of the Communications Act - speech that causes "gross offence", the same law that got Count Dankula a fine of £800 for his pug prank on his girlfriend at the time. If the Police do investigate and press charges, Ofcom will likely revoke their broadcast licence there and then. They have a zero tolerance attitude to law breaking on the air.
Both Fox and Wootton are now suspended and the channel is in damage limitation mode fearing for its survival. Those going against GB News and have sensed blood will not stop with them if they succeed in their goals, they will go for Talk TV next.
The UK is officially a fascist state. GB News is making a big mistake by surrendering like this. Let the fascist state come after you and show all the world exactly what it is.
Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has gone on record on Sky News to tell companies to keep men who "talk about women in that way" out of the public light or else.
We also know the SNP intends to bring in an anti-misogyny law that the UK will likely follow in lock-step. And we also have the forthcoming Online Safety Bill likely to start being enforced next month. And of course, the precedence of both section 127 the Communications Act 2003 for Fox's repetition of what he said on-air off-air - the same law got Count Dankula fined £800 for his pug prank and harassment and stalking law that sunk Alex Belfield and earned him five and a half years in prison.
He's probably basing that on his own experience after, rightfully, calling a woman a "bigoted" while near enough to a microphone. He was of course tarred and feathered for this despite being correct.
There was nothing "rightful" about it.
She pointed out that migrants are able to claim benefits when they've just arrived in the country yet haven't contributed anything towards it, meanwhile many native Britons who have worked and paid tax and contributed to their country all their lives are unable to claim those same benefits. What is "bigoted" about that?
Here's the full transcript of the conversation, for those who are interested: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/bigotgate-gordon-brown-anniversary-gillian-duffy-transcript-full-read-1957274.html
Any time Gordon Brown rears his head, the only answer should be "how many people did you kill in Iraq again?"
