GB News apologises after Laurence Fox calls female reporter a ‘little woman’

GB News has launched an investigation into “totally unacceptable” comments made by Laurence Fox about a female journalist during a broadcast.
Fox made a series of remarks about Ava Evans, the political correspondent for online news site Joe, including describing her as a “little woman” during an episode of Dan Wootton Tonight on Tuesday.
Ms Evans shared a clip of the comments on social media site X, formerly known as Twitter, with the caption “Laurence Fox just did a whole speech on GB News on why men apparently won’t shag me?” which has been viewed more than 2.1 million times.

@@kurtgodel5236 I actually don’t mind her, although her agenda is bonkers which is what Fox was really attacking. I’m not even RW, but the political movements she supports are usually bigoted and she truly believes opinions are more important than statistics. She ‘s heavily in the ‘men are not necessary’ camp, so at some point somebody like Fox was going to come out and say something eventually. Not that I agree with exactly with what was said, but why is she allowed to spout offensive nonsense but nobody can have their opinion.

Somewhat crass from Laurence it has to be said. However if she had said such things about him it would have been widely applauded in the media and among the misandrist feminist community. Likewise the things she has been saying on this and other programs recently would be decried as gross misogyny and calls to cancel them if a man had expressed such views about women. Huge double standards as ever.

[@savagedriver1967]

But she didn't. There's the difference.

@@savagedriver1967 She has said things about other men which could definitely be deemed just as offensive, if they decided they wanted to take it that way.

These folks on GB News are entitled to an opinion regardless of how repugnant they may be. As for Ava she is a very attractive lady and I am unsure why she is receiving the grief she is. Ava is entitled to an opinion as well. We don't have to agree with her like we don't have to agree with Dan & Laurence. Another storm in a teacup blown out of all proportions.

[@user-qh6fp3di6h]

Of course he’s entitled to his opinion. But he’s not entitled to a show on a national news network. Freedom of speech isn’t freedom from consequence

That's the difference between the likes of Wootton (and most of today's politicians) and people like Fox - Fox has common sense and the guts to stand by his beliefs and what he says, the others kow-tow to the woke mob and haven't a clue what they believe, only what they think they should believe.

Bring back Wooton. He is very much missed. I like Fox, I don't know if I would consider that offensive if we were in a pub speaking privately, but national TV was bound to backlash on him. The pearl clutchers would have a field day. He is a very good actor though, awesome in Lewis.
