I thought they were discussing Jeremy Vine and the way he blatantly cycles into trouble.

[@pershorefoodbanktrusselltr3632]

I have to say watching Ava pontificating with Piers Morgan on his show about how to treat people was truly incredulous. She’s quite happy to be a regular on Piers show, with his record over Meghan Markle and many other things over the years. The double standards is mind boggling.

[@alfsmith4936]

Why?

[@johnknowles4131]

She goes on his show to debate against the right wing views which are often the narrative for stations like TalkTV. Why is that mind boggling?

[@MsGuppie2010]

This Ava person gives decent strong woman a bad name. How repugnant is she to say what she did. How dare she imply that male suicide/mental health is insignificant! Did she give ANY thought or to parents, spouses, siblings or friends of anyone, but men in particular, who have succumbed to poor mental health and took their lives? NO SHE DIDN'T! If anyone is going to be suspended or cancelled, it should be her. Shes an absolute disgrace! On the other hand, its so entertaining to see the other channels and presenters scrambling to have GBN closed down 😂😂 Feeling a wee bit threatened me thinks 😂 I'm not familiar Laurence Fox, but Dan Wooton should definitely be reintated...... sooner rather than later

[@iangascoigne8231]

@@iangascoigne8231 Everyone on youtube ,including you, has to use pseudonyms because thats how it works... nice try at trying to make it sound some how dodgy. But back to the point, if you watch the interview she clearly wasn't interested in the issue and she even apologised afterwards once she realised how awful it had looked. So even Ava Evans herself accepted that it was bad. Dont let little facts like that get in the way of your badly constructed argument though...

[@jermainewilson9660]

She is disgusting in what she says about men suicide and men accused of crimes with no evidence or charges.....but here she is playing the victim....All he did was say what all men who hear her views really think......

[@johnknowles4131]

So he goes on a program and says something really sexual and demeaning about her personally and what you take from that is that she is the one who is being offensive here? You make some pretty big claims that should probably be able to back up if true. What has she specifically said about male suicide which is disgusting? At what point in our society did things switch so that when someone is a victim of something that becomes them “playing the victim?” The men you talk about who are accused of crimes without evidence does this also apply to them? Are they also “playing the victim?” Lawrence Fox speaks to all men who hear her views, what Fox saying that he would not have sex with her? How does that speak for all men? I’m a man, I’ve heard Evas views on things and Lawrence Fox doesn’t speak for me so what you’re saying just isn’t true

He was allowed to say it. He has freedom of speech to say whatever he wants. However there are consequences for the things you say and GBN decided his rant was grossly inappropriate by journalistic standards. So what’s your point? He said what he said, it was broadcasted and now he’s been kicked off for it. You wouldn’t complain if Fox was a lefty who said the same thing to Isabelle oakshot would you?

[@teem5642]

​@@filmneekonly issue I now have is, how come ava gets a free pass for all the things she's said against Lawrence (including the words around shagging him, this was around 2020 on twitter), her ridiculous views on male suicide, her misandry towards men etc. None bets an eye lid. This is all fake outrage and very one sided. These are two people who've been at it with each other for years, but again, long it's a woman who says something bad, we let it go. But a man, kill him

[@alfsmith4936]

What did she say? You wouldn't want to leave a comment like that, without telling people what she said, or you could come across as an incel.

[@teem5642]

@@alfsmith4936 look up her tweets from 19/09/20, whrre she talks irresponsibly about shagging Charles mc dimmis, then 28th of Feb, 'Lawrence isn't going to shag you mate x', 23/06 'I'm not going to shag you mate'. This is all whilst repsonidng to comments on her tweeter. So my question is, why is is an outcry when Lawrence say the same towards her when she's said the same and no one said anything? She's also on record for supporting fake rape allegations, and isn't bothered about male suicide and thinks men don't require representation. She's also on record on her tweeter for saying that she's going to continue wearing her mask after covid because men are the most powerful virus of them all. If a man said that about women, he'd be cancelled. Basically both Lawrence and ava are fowl mouthed and talk too much without filter. Both deserve each other and I'm sure there's beef between the two that people didn't know. But of course, the fake outrage comes out soon as its done by one side, and ignore the other. She's a vile man hating individual herself. If we are going to apply this outrage, let's let it be equal to all parties otherwise it looks stupid with the selective outrage

Wow, that's quite a few angry, judgmental generalizations in your ad-hominem rant. I'm from the states, so I'm not familiar w/the other people you mentioned. As for my referring to Lawrence Fox as being imperfect, where I was referring to his most recent personal attack vs arguing the issues, you seem to be assigning that adjective to areas of his life that IMHO need no apology since they represent quite the opposite of "small" mindedness, bigotry, or hypocrisy. I don't know you, or your views apart from your lofty summary judgement (Who is it that's "small" minded again?) of someone you haven't a clue about, so I'll leave it there & wait for what will doubtfully be questions, but another display of ignorance. @@sbor2020
