Dan Wootton sacked by MailOnline after GB News suspension!

 

Laurence Fox - Dan Wootton & Ava Evans

The actor Laurence Fox, might be the son of the posh actor James Fox, but he's no English gentleman, even if he often portrays one on the big silver screen.

Fox has been suspended by GB News because of insulting and misogynistic remarks he made live on the Dan Wootton show about the reporter Ava Evans. He asked what "self-respecting man" would "climb into bed", with her, adding: "who would want to shag that." 

Wootton, who won't be climbing into bed with any woman, was suspended after he failed to intervene. He was seen to be smiling and laughing throughout Fox's remarks. He’s also had his MailOnline column terminated following his suspension by GB News. He was already under investigation for allegedly sending sexually explicit texts to colleagues using the pseudonym ‘Martin Branning’. Wootton denies the allegations and says he’s the victim of “dark forces.”

Fox, who is also a host on GB News along with a menagerie of other right-wing cranks, such as Lee Anderson, Esther McVey and Jacob Rees-Mogg, said he stood "by every word of what I said."

In his youth, Fox seems to have been something of addlepated malcontent. He was expelled from the public school Harrow, just before he took his A-Level exams and was unable to obtain a place at any university because of a report from Harrow. It seems his father and grandfather were also expelled from Harrow, so it could be a family tradition. After a short spell working as a gardener and in an office, he decided to follow his family into acting and entered RADA. Fox is married to the actress Billie Piper.

The GB News saga rambles on with Calvin Robinson now being sacked , which raises the question , how long before the axe falls on the Wootton creature ? Thanks for the background on Robinson ; I have to admit that I did not know who he was until I saw something about him on Yahoo .


Whilst on the subject of that awful channel ; thy were one of the hosts of the Conservative Party conference , which sums them up perfectly .
