Absolutely not Owen. I donāt vilify Dylan but I also want to protect the rights of women. Iām also a gay man who supports pro-choice. Supporting women and protecting female spaces is not bigotry, itās common sense.
Those leading the vilification of Dylan Mulvaney are the same people who want to repeal gay rights and ban abortion. These dangerous bigots are being emboldened by people claiming to be feminists (to the disgust, it should be said, of actual feminists).

Come on Scott, you work for the BBC, donāt manipulate figures in your favour! .Itās ludicrous to compare GB News channel figures to BBC One and Two. Do your homework properly and you can see GB News beating the BBC News CHANNEL clearly and consistently.
There may have been moments when GB News may have beaten BBC News, but these moments were relatively short. It also does not consider that BBC News was also airing on BBC Two in some slots too.

This is why the BBC must name the presenter in question. Too many innocent people being dragged into this.

Ok, letās just keep manipulating the figures to ensure the BBC narrative wins throughā¦!.Iām not comparing ratings for programmes, Iām comparing ratings for channels. Itās clear that after just 22 months GB News is very regularly beating Sky News and quite consistently the BBC.
1. I donāt work for the BBC. Iām a freelancer and contribute my opinions on TV shows there and many others. 2. BBC One / Two air BBC Breakfast and Nicky Campbell, so you have to include those figures as BBC News channel is a simulcast. Itās ludicrous not to.
