Its like a parody of a news channel. Wobbly sets, cheap graphics, people who can’t read an autocue properly and a weather map that looks like it was made on Minecraft. But the best bits have to be the adverts. Lots of small regional garden centres and furniture shops. Hysterical for all the wrong reasons.

It's just missing Mrs Overall wondering onto set with a tray of tea.

James O’Brien has picked up on it now. Hopefully this is not going away
No one pisses off the righties more than James O’Brien. Wootton will probably go on about him being ‘woke’ in response.

I think there is truth in the argument that he (Wootton) has dirt on important people at news international. Maybe even Murdoch himself. I don’t think that he’s ever hidden who he really is. I mean it’s always been glaringly obvious that to me that he’s a vile cunt.

It’s the choice of guest commentators on GB news for me. Like Jim McDonald from Corrie was on when I watched during the Schofe drama. I thought I was tripping for a minute when Dan actually called him Jim instead of Charlie! 😂

He's always been a odd bloke to me. Those beady eyes of his and creepy voice when he talks to the camera.

This did make me laugh. Why does he look like that? :ROFLMAO:

Dan has been clever either by design or happy accident. He has serious dirt on The Sun (including the sort of things they covered up with and for him - which PopBitch and the likes are hinting at) and the Mail, and he’s also been involved in helping stave off controversy at GB News. He gets involved in this stuff for a reason - he offers assistance and contacts but really it ensures he knows where the bodies are buried and that’s his leverage when it comes to his own poorly kept secrets.

The Martin Branning stuff is out of the bag now, let’s hope it is Pandora’s box opening and there’s no going back, as if this continues to gather pace it will create a huge snowball. He’s lucky he is pretty Z list as the stuff he’s done puts PS and HE in the shade

No one knows for sure but I’d really caution anyone to be careful what they write ANYWHERE about the allegations or repeating them because Wootton is, regardless of what else he stands accused of, a very nasty and dangerous individual who will throw shit and legal action at anyone.

People like Lineker, Holmes, Morgan wind me up, talking about their honesty/integrity/calling people out when apparently they KNEW most things when the come out. Well; why weren’t you doing more to actively out these behaviours? It’s easy to get on the high horse after the event.

My dad was a journo for years back in the day (it was awful, I literally never saw him) and the stuff he’s told me means I believe they are all hold each other over the barrel one way or another and I don’t trust anyone in the media.
This is true. Andrew Brady went to prison after he slated him on social media and accused him of murdering Caroline Flack. He was quite mentally unwell at the time IMO, but apparently Wootton felt intimidated by him. I highly doubt that. I don’t think Wootton is scared of anyone. He is just a vindictive cunt who likes to have the final word, the stuff about Schofield was about him having Wootton removed from ITV and not anything to do with him actually caring about what Schofield has done and his victims.

They get 100,000 for Dan Wootton tonight. Not Pitiful at all
So the big silent majority of Britain who all huddle around their TVs at night to hear the inspirational truth-tellers on GB News is made up of… 100 thousand people at most?

Yeah, that’s appalling. I’d be embarrassed.

When Mark Dolan was in a tizz about Hugh and the BBCs lack of action, one of the (lefty) panelists made a comment about whether GB News would act in the same way if one of their presenters had some skeletons. He got really defensive

Makes you wonder what they knew 🤔

I enjoyed the whole 'I Never SAID A WORD about Huw Edwards'- he was off on holiday, let's not pretend he wouldn't have had a field day with it, just like he did with Schofield.

You can see why so many celebs sucked up to him. Once he took against you that was it and he wouldn’t stop until he’d destroyed you. It’s better to keep someone like that on side if you wish to remain in the public eye and want an easy life. He obviously has quite a serious personality disorder. The way he gets pleasure out of destroying people and won’t stop until they’re broken makes me think he’s a sociopath. Very dangerous people to get on the wrong side of.

Regardless of any illegalities, I think this story cuts through because DW (and GB News generally) has positioned himself as the moral arbiter of ITV, BBC, numerous celebrities and the public en masse. His entire brand of “journalism” is judging other people.

You can’t place yourself on a pedestal to judge the perceived moral failings of other individuals and organisations when you have your own skeletons dangling out of the closet

Nobody likes a hypocrite and - if true - these allegations position DW as potentially the biggest hypocrite we’ve ever come across.

He has a massive credibility problem from hereon out.
