Rent boy? 🤦‍♀️ And this is exactly why people don’t come forward because they’ll be smeared like this. The state of the media/press in this country is beyond belief. And for those questioning why people have not gone to the police they often do but get told there is not enough evidence. With reporting/headlines like this why would they?

Also, let’s now forget that back on 2015 Wootton threatened to publicly out someone about their HIV+ status.

Max will be breathing a sigh of relief, he's no longer the sleaziest member of the Branning family.

Blimey is it a prequisite to be odious if you work in showbiz or the media? I'm beginning to wonder. So many bad 'uns about.
In short no. But it doesn't harm your career prospects if you have a borderline personality disorder. Some kind of psychopathy; a profound lack of empathy, deficient emotional responses, something along those lines. Having those traits is a great advantage. Think of Dan as you would think of a Dalek.

A few years ago if you were to visit Dan's Twitter feed you'd see it adorned with rainbow flags, messages full of support for trans-rights issues, etc. etc. Then he realised it would be better for his career if he lurched to the Right and waged 'a war on woke'. He has no values and I'm not entirely sure if Dalek Dan even has a soul.

First paragraph is interesting, so the guardian have been looking into this for three years…

For the people who doubt the seriousness of it all, just imagine being on the end of something like this. Imagine someone you don't know targeting you or your partner or your previous partners, offering them thousands of pounds top make sex tapes of you. Then blackmailing them/you and ultimately releasing sex tapes to friends and family members. Imagine how that would feel over a period of years. It would be life changing, life destroying. Somebody earlier described it as evil and I'm not in disagreement with that.

Could you do something like that? I think it takes a severely twisted, sadistic person to inflict that on anybody. If any of this is true it's incredibly inhumane.

I actually cannot believe he has the cheek to crowdfund for a lawyer. What kind of next level crazy is he?! Should have seen it in those eyes 👀

OK so I've just watched the segment where Dan addresses the situation. He did seem emotional. Mind you anyone would be, under threat of investigation, and the scrutiny, etc.

I was torn between thinking he's still an awful person, but also thinking that despite the messenger, he did in fact have a point about social media, and people wanting to destroy GB News or whatever other organisation / channel they don't like, depending on their beliefs. It goes back to what I said the other night - do people (of both sides) want those from "the other side" investigated / cancelled because they are genuinely horrified by the allegations, or in some cases, is it a case of "Yesss! I can't stand that person so I hope they are guilty of awful things and I don't care how or why they are cancelled....I just want them gone". Please understand I was never under illusions that Dan was a wonderful fellow and I feel there is some truth to these allegations somewhere (time will tell hopefully the extent of wrongdoing) but my point still stands about bias, whether it comes from the left or the right.
I think it's more that Wooton has made a career from going after certain targets, whipping up hate campaigns against certain individuals. There's great schadenfreude in seeing him bitten by the same vitriol he's got rich on.

Not an exclusive when he admitted it himself in his tweet.

Using the term "rent boy" in 2023 is beyond weird anyway.

Sorry but I just have to step in about Byline Times being called grifters. Fair if you disagree with how they've gone about covering this and the crowdfund but they broke the story about the government wasting money on covid contracts and have covered other important news.

However, it's this salacious story about a B list celebrity that's getting them attention so if they're using it to inject some cash so they can continue reporting on corporate and political corruption... I can't be too mad.

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
