She's an absolute ming, her. Should be a pariah after her treatment of Vicky Pryce.
Despicable human being, she is. That tweet is the definition of a grifting tweet designed to wind people up on the day that she’s joined GB News to generate coverage.
To bemoan the inability to discuss the subject without the “usual shrieking”, while in the same tweet describing our current law as “abhorrent”, and women as getting abortions “far too casually” is extremely disingenuous and calculated.
She’s a writer. She knows exactly what she’s doing here.

He's made a complete fool of himself and destroyed his credibility with this whole pantomime. He made such a drama about leaving the BBC (practically weeping on tv) only to join the laughable gang of clowns on a startup channel that everyone with half a brain knew going to be a total disaster from day one. At best he's shown himself up to being incredibly naive to the point of being stupid, and at worst he's given himself away as the closest racist many accused him of always being that simply got cold feet when he finally realised that the company he was keeping wasn't the best........

The ex-BBC presenter who quit the channel says people can decide themselves if it is too right wing.

But progressive types do shriek. They're shrieking right now about having the right to abort a baby in a completely different state to the one they're living in.

Does anyone who has been at the BBC as long as he has have any credibility? After all that has been revealed about Jimmy Saville and the other high profile nonces that were harboured there.
You’ve worked hard to miss the point there.
Her tweet was bemoaning certain people ‘shrieking’, while at the same time using charged and judgemental language on an extremely emotive subject. It’s trolling and disingenuous in the extreme, and given it was tweeted on the same day her move to GB News was announced, was likely done just to generate outrage.
Re the bold - It is perfectly reasonable to raise objections about a policy, even when that policy doesn’t directly affect you. Having a degree of empathy for others is not unheard of.
I also don’t think ‘shrieking’ about an issue is limited to progressives!

You shriek, I shriek, we all shriek for ice cream.
If adult human beings cannot view tweets from total strangers without becoming emotionally unstable then I suggest they disable their twitter accounts. If you're bothered by GB News and it's presenters then don't watch it, I don't.
I'll elaborate on my previous post for you. We don't live in an age of facts, or logic or reason any more. We live in an age of rhetoric. This is how Brexit was "won". Not on facts, or logic, or reason but on rhetoric.
This is why you can pull up all the stats and charts you like about any issue at all and it just gets dismissed regardless of what side of an argument you are on. I've seen all the stats around abortion in the UK and they're not really an issue at all and most of the points of argument are utterly redundant. Virtually nobody is having late term abortions and virtually nobody is having an abortion because of assault or any other reason that often gets cited by whataboutists.
Bemoaning the tweets of some C list journalist is like howling at the moon. This is the state of the world today. All the facts in all the world won't win an argument. Only a call to pure emotion.

As said before, GB News works like a sex offender register, can check up on the professional Gammon in one place and see what's got them frothing and what's going to get little Gammon yapping in social media land in the days after.
