Gb News have jumped on this latest snafu, to get shut of him with all the other allegations surrounding him.

Can we deport Wooton to Rwanda?

Sickening to see Dan Wooton being silenced by the leftist wokies at the Mail and GBeebies.

Apologies if there are people on here who've already seen the Popbitch mailout for today, but if not there is a bit more about why Wootton is about to get canned at GB News:

>> Dan and out <<
Ignoring is bliss

Dan Wootton's dramatic downfall these past 48 hours has drawn some fitting comparisons to Al Capone getting done for tax evasion.

All of a sudden he's persona non grata at GB News – not because of the multiple, well-sourced allegations of serious sexual misconduct and workplace harassment that have clouded him for months; but because he sat grinning gormlessly, like a wallaby getting its balls tickled, as one of his guests delivered a hugely sexist rant unchecked.

However, there was a little more going on behind the scenes. Even though on screen he might have just looked hopelessly out of his depth, the reason Wootton has incurred the wrath of his bosses is because he was repeatedly and actively ignoring multiple management commands.

From the start of Fox's rant, the voice in Dan's earpiece was telling him to stop Fox, to push back and apologise – but he tuned it out. Then one of the senior bods drafted an apology for him to read out after the item – and he skipped past it on the autocue.

Then the top brass were on the phone to the studio, insisting Dan apologise on air – and he just didn't.

Please tell me that ridiculous music was added as a meme and isn’t music they actually put on their advert

My face almost cringed itself into my neck. The man clearly needs help, his movements and speech have become so manic and disconnected
