Oh dear. It seems that the self-proclaimed ‘People’s Channel’ has been at it again. GB News has been forced to formally suspend both Laurence Fox and Dan Wootton after comments on his show last night about the political commentator Ava Evans. In a segment ostensibly responding to Evans’ comments about male mental health, Fox called her a ‘little woman’, declaring: ‘Show me a single self-respecting man that would like to climb into bed with that woman ever, ever, who wasn’t an incel.’
As Wootton laughed, Fox continued: ‘We need powerful, strong amazing women who make great points for themselves. We don’t need these sort of feminist 4.0. They’re pathetic and embarrassing. Who’d want to shag that?’ This had Wootton was laughing so much he struggled to think of a follow-up question and belatedly tried to cite some of Evans’ tweets.
