She gets away with rubbishing the needs of millions of men with mental health problems.
She cant take an little insult however.
And how many times has Lawrence Fox threatened to sue people who have said unkind things about him? He can't take an insult either
DONT APOLOGISE MR FOX!!
A lot of women dislike and most often disagree with her comments on men in general 🤷🏻♀
This Sky News woman has NO CLUE who Ava Evans is 🤣🤣🤣 I'd never heard of her as a journalist either.
Extremely discusting comments about male suicide from her. She makes me physically sick.
What was offensive was that she belittled mental health and suicide in men! How sick can a woman get!
Woke over reaction as always.
Sly news has gone further left than the BBC, and ignore the fact Ava is a toxic misandrist who once said male suicide was funny.
She never said that
I know, she is not well…
but she did scoff and chuckle. watch the interview again.@@bereal6590
Who opened the gates and let in the media woke mob. No mention whatsoever of the dismissive scornful remarks made with a repeated smirk on her face in response to Geoff Norcott on the Politics Show earlier. Fortunately he didn’t rise to the bait as perhaps she hoped he would.
Give Laurence a medal 🥇
Nah don't think so
Upper class twit of the year?
Yes pin it on his brownshirt
Give him 3
Pointless comment, but what is being ignored by the virtue signallers is that the woman in question Ava Evans is dispicable, she has made numerous unacceptable comments time and time again. Time to bring Ava to task. As for Laurence, do not apologise.
Well said👌👏 I am a woman and I think she has this hatred for men…it’s sad to see….
Funny how there wasn't an uproar about the remarks Anna Soubry made about Nigel Farage on the Andrew Marr show
Should we care the harm both made to this country, when Both are un-apologetic Brexiteer that didn't materialize, while chose to be on the side line to prevent direct criticism.
The right wing facist GB news twenty four viewers were really offended.
@@Guesswhokkdon't be so pathetic whining about brexit
Learn to spell fascist properly or have I missed an intended pun
Exactly….👍
Ava evans is a complete melt! Move on..

It was funny but accurate
What about the comments this woman made?
what are these comments?
@@rynonymouss she completely disregards mental health suicide rates. And tries to make it about feminism. Proper pest she is
I guess this time wwp took presidency over wmp privilege
@@rynonymoussSaying that male suicide is funny.
@@rynonymouss She didn't seem to appreciate the unique issues men face in terms of mental illness - well recorded differences to others and a growing epidemic. And that there should not be a special role in Govt to look at this issue. Plus, why suicide rates have gone through the roof, especially during Covid. She said about men's suicide rate, "I have to say that's because a lot of women are unsuccessful". Not sure where she's coming from with that, but she is definitely pushing an agenda and denying men's rights, especially at a time when many are speaking up about men's mental health.
I don’t understand why Laurence Fox gave free publicity & a career boost to Ava Evans by making unsavoury comments about her. I’d never heard of her before this incident.
It because she changes her name more often than her crusty knickers.
I do not like Evans journalism, Mr Fox was right.
@@sunflower-oo1ff Maybe he should have made his point in a more intelligent and professional manner rather than resorting to personal insults
Good man! Don’t apologise to these idiots 😂😂
huh huh huh - idiot.
Love the way this journo claims she is shocked and can't repeat what was said. Yet, Sky allows all kinds of haters on to insult the British people and our country. Selective shock then.
Sky certainly don't hire on merit do they she's just another hustler
its a ROYALIST STATE abolish the UK ...
He said he would not sleep with Ava Evans. He said he didn't belief others would either.
It's very difficult to see what the offence is here.
Diversity hire.....
@@tastypymp1287He's completely muddied the argument with a crude personal attack on a national news channel. I'm against the journalists original argument (no male specific minister) but this guys just ruined our argument against it.
Sky will jump on this just like GMB because.
GBN won best news station and they didn't.
He has been removed and rightly so just stop milking it pathetic.
Boo hoo everyone is so soft.
I find this reporter and her reporting offensive.
Yep 😅I’m not going to say anything more .
I suspended corrupt sky years ago 😂
GB news have scored an own goal with these suspensions, viewing figures will plunge.
I don't think what Laurence said was right, but take a look at what this female "journalist" said regarding men's mental health and suicide. She should be called put on that.
And finally we see live on TV the sort of talk that most blokes have in private. Fox out of order but that bird is an anti-men and trivializes male suicide. Who is suspending her?
Inappropriate comments on live TV sure, but I understand what he means, when one doesn't like that feminist, leftist, liberal view, there's no way a "romance would blossom" 😂. Maybe Ava should be taken off air too for dismissing the male suicide crisis. She's insulting all men when she does that. Laurence insulted one woman. Do we not see the disparity here?
Was it on live TV?
What was inappropriate about the comments exactly?
Yup
@@tastypymp1287she said a minister for men to oversee men’s health was an attack on women 🙄
@@fozzydare7987 It's only ok when they do it....
He's entitled to say what he wants!! If it's his opinion nobody has to agree. Typical over reaction!!!
More woke
@@davidweaver421or less cat fishist
@@davidweaver421Same thing, surely?
@@davidweaver421Woke IS fascist.
Do keep up.
Sticks and stones ! It's pathetic !!
And Ava Evans has never made offensive comments? What she says about male suicide makes me feel physically sick. If she can't stand the heat...
Well said Fox!
This is definitive proof that there should be a Men's Minister.
We aren't wanted in the new world order. Especially white, straight, European men.
@@davidweaver421you’re only further proving the need for a men’s minister 🙃
Typical snowflake attitude.
Men's suicide rate is double that of women's. There should definitely be a men's welfare minister
😂😂 Satire? 😮
Now do a story on Dan Wootton’s near decade long “lapse of judgment” where he allegedly paid men to sleep with male colleagues he fancied and make non-consensual vids of them doing so, et cetera
Is Huw Edwards ok his mental health still bad?
allegedly
Creepy Wooton has took out a super injunction of the press ....such a free speech warrior
@@user-vd7jz3qx5f Don't worry the intellectual pygmy, JIm Davidson, as funny as Necrotising Fasciitis, can step in.
His right
Lawrence is right !!
She should be taken off air for her appalling inappropriate remarks about male suicides....
"Offensive" lol. Get a grip.
Evans has been making exactly the same "totally unacceptable" comments, herself, this morning, on Twitter. Why are wimmin always held to a different standard?
Firstly, WTF are "wimmin"? Secondly, what is unacceptable about her comment? I find it offensive that brainless morons butcher my elegant native language. Wimmin, FFS.
Disguting absolutely disgusted ...I just ate 3 custard creams in a row...
Laurence Fox wasn't wrong tho....
Sly ‘news’ should get someone who works for them and discuss this live on air. Then the discussion will be impartial!😂😂 Just like Sky say they are 😂😂😂
Ava who?
Poor Ava, make her a Dame now. God help us all.
Doubtless you'd be as sarcastic if anyone rabidly insulted your wife or daughter on air.
@@stevendurrant1724 Get a life.
@@stevendurrant1724 Insulted how?
He stated he would not sleep with her. He stated he believed others would agree. What's the problem here?
Facts don't care about your feelings. Or that of your wives n daughters.
They made the professional idiot Gavin Williamson a sir ....so why not
Plenty of Women have stated how they would not want to sleep with certain Men ... Zero Action ..
Double STANDARDS!!
Not typically on a news network though. Especially a news network that's desperately trying to exude conservative values
Including the woman in question who has said the same thing on Twitter to men but is now playing the victim.
@@Bungle-UK
Sadly She is a Bad Actor .. always looking to create hate
@@Randomstuffs261Is there a specific law or regulation that prescribes exceptional rules for news channels?
Lawrence fox merely stated a sexual preference and a belief that others would agree.
What's the offence here?
@@tastypymp1287 Yeah but he went on GB news to say it, a right wing outlet that's trying to get people to take it seriously. It's like going to a catholic church to run a podcast about abortion, it just aint gonna last long.
Love the good judgement of Larry Fox and insightful remarks not so much the reporter.
It seems that she is getting away with her nasty remarks - maybe people need to protest her and her remarks ... demand she is fired and the broadcaster taken off air. It always so one sided there needs to be equal consequences.
Despite the mucky old week for GBN, I'm sure Laurence, Dan and Calvin won't be going anywhere. This is all just a storm in a teacup. GBN just have to be seen to be doing something to appease Ofcom. In the meantime, they're getting loads of free publicity, and there's no such thing as bad publicity.
I saw this live and agreed with everything fox said. why don't they hold ava for account for disregarding mens susicide rates which is very serous and she gets off on a apology she doesn't mean
Truth hurts
She gave her opinion on a topic-that a minister for mental health was needed; Fox simply gave abuse, which, incidentally was agreed with by the producers before it went on air. GB news has serious questions to answer.
She did not even do that.
@@johnhodgetts2111😂😂😂😂😂 serious questions to answer lol, after what we've seen from legacy media, no effing way
@@johnhodgetts2111😂
He apologised
This is ridiculous. Hopefully Laurence fox is back soon.
We do need a mens minister for mens mental health Ava was wrong and I am a woman who absolutely believs in equality
As a woman I agree. Men need a minister for men.
@@joce11Or no minister at all.
Utter government overreach.
Appalling. Ava has used the shxxxing word on numerous occasions. Why hasn't she been SUSPENDED.
SHE D8D FEEL PHYSICALLY SICK WHE. SHE WAS SAYING THE SAME ABOUT MEN
I wouldn't climb on it ,
Hold on that Ava is a journalist?
This was why he said it
In a clip from the BBC, Ava tells the panel: "I think it feeds into the culture a little bit, this minister for men argument. In my mind, there should be a minister for mental health which should be all-encompassing... It's a crisis which is endemic throughout the country and not specific to men.
Sounds reasonable to me.
So what's your point?
@@Pining_for_the_fjords He stated he would not have sex with someone. He stated he believed others would feel the same.
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
@@tastypymp1287
While both of those statements appear to me to be true, I suspect that they were completely irrelevant to the discussion. Bring up having sex in a discussion that has nothing to do with it on national radio is a rather creepy move.
@@tastypymp1287she's vil
I'm shocked, shocked to find gambling going on ... what a load of crap. Nothing wrong with anything he said. Who would want to climb into bed with her? No one.
make a conclusion find out what she said "Ava Evans whole speech on male suicide" then decide if we are censed one side only every were
Male suicide is a huge issue and she sucks for downplaying it but Fox literally made it worst and men are not being helped when our main proponents are guys talking about how they would shag a journalist they disagreed with.
Who cares?
I looked this female journalist up. Lawrence wasn’t wrong.
Farage lost to a guy in a dolphin suit Fox lost to Count Bin Face 😂
Farage got everything he wanted, and still lost
@@Randomstuffs261 No deal is Farage problem .
LOL - Count Bin Face indeed :).
The left lost to a Indian immigrant 😂
No that's not true. Laurence Fox 🦊 got over 31,000 votes which for an independent/not big party is massive.
People are no longer entitled to an opinion or humour? Why would she care if he finds her attractive or not? It's mindless, petty nonsense. Great to see the "hurty words" police out in force.
I would wonder whether it was in any way relevant to the discussion they were meant to be having. I suspect it wasn't.
I also suspect that, since GB News are only having Laurence Fox on for scandal value, they are loving the opportunity to milk this mini-scandal for as much as it's worth.
@@ungodlygripstrength He can be really good. He recently did a video on Sudiksha Thirumalesh which was brilliant and was so moving.
There was no need for him to say what he did but it's so annoying that everything has to a scandal. I wouldn't be remotely upset if someone I didn't care about said that to me.
save free speech in uk
There's still a speaker's corner in Hyde Park, right?
@@peabaseIs that the designated safe space?
@@tastypymp1287 I wouldn't go that far. There's a lot of heckling going on.
The comments were his opinion, he’s entitled to them.
I also have opinions, some of which I would know better than to air on TV if I were a broadcaster.
Not on live TV. There's such a thing as standards.
@@Pining_for_the_fjordsNot an argument.
What was wrong with his opinion?
@@alexdavies7394Which standard did he specifically breach?
@@tastypymp1287 - How about standards of decency? Describing a woman by using those words on a nationally broadcast TV programme.
What's the context? What did Ava say to make him react like that? Can't seem to find the full video anywhere. Oh well, I guess I'll just believe Fox is evil and Ava said nothing out of place then.
Must be the womans fault yeah.
In a clip from the BBC, Ava tells the panel: "I think it feeds into the culture a little bit, this minister for men argument. In my mind, there should be a minister for mental health which should be all-encompassing... It's a crisis which is endemic throughout the country and not specific to men.
Whatever she said, making sexist comments about her and criticising her appearance or attractiveness means that he lost any argument he was trying to make.
Little spinner isn't about appearance or sexist. Just useless piehole 😂
@Pining_for_the_fjords Nothing sexist about it dummy
nothing wrong with those comments , its his opinion. left as usual looking to shut the channel down over any excuse because they're fascist
So it OK to insult anyone about "their private body" to determine their "evidence based work"?🤔
Are we living in the 18th century now? Or do some people still think it OK to act like those from the past?
Funny how Sky allows comments on this story, yet others involving a certain 'community'.....nope.
I noticed that.
I identify as GB news this is not officially offensive although I should go to the press and sell the story to myself as a tax deductible
Wooten is a 🐍( my opinion)
He's just saying it how he see's it,well-done Mr fox
I feel sorry for the barge pole 😂
Ava Evans has been getting away with unpleasantness but Fox over reacted. Hope it is just a sin bin as we need mavericks.
Overreacted compared to what?
For speaking the truth, amazing decision !
Latest polls suggest that 98% of people asked about this give the following answer : "wtf is GB News ? Laurence Who ?"
That's GB news. A race to the bottom.
Too late, BBC and Sky beat them there
His honest reaction is the one he exhibited as fox was saying the statements. Get lost !!!
I hated Laurence Fox's behavior and Wooten's childish giggling. But Ava Santina's suggestion that members of Parliament who speak on that channel apologize for his personal behavior is taking ridiculous and inappropriate advantage of the situation.
I'm ok with what Laurence said. She needs to be cancelled over making light of male suicide.
What did she say?
Lawrence Fox is an Absolute LEGEND
Think the spelling is wrong. It begins with B
@@johnhodgetts2111 says the soft woke lefty.
BEGEND?! What does it mean?
Bellend, yes Fox is a total bellend.
Snowflakes at sky
Who the hell would want to climb in the bed with shaman Freeman Powell?
What Fox said was obviously not on and really should be forced to apologise! Having said that, Dan didn’t actually say anything! as for facial expressions, can a man be condemned for that? had it have been a radio show nobody would even have known!
Have the people in the uk solved their everyday problems to such an extent that this is the level of their dilemmas? Could it just be a distraction ? Ooooops
These (Fox, GBNews, etc) are the people making the distractions as client media for the Tories. Then they get showed up for what they really are - fascist ars*holes.
Who?
Nixing the original Norcott footage ... gaslighting reaction is classic trolling ... big props for GB is it ?
Why is this news
He wasn't wrong though 🤣🤣🤣
That Dan Wooten is a creeper anyway so not surprised he involved
Laurence Fox, deluding himself into believing that people give a 💩for his opinions. Yet another shining example of nepotism at its best in that lowest form of art - acting.
Well, IMO, Laurence was a terrific actor. Just a pity he strayed from what he was so good at.
TBF I think more people give a 💩 about his opinions than they do yours
@@loppadus Probably. Because he is a ubiquitous *unt, and I'm not. Try to come up with something original next time 👍
"Lawrence fox is not the messiah... He is a very naughty boy!"
Oh 😮they are putting into question his mental health that’s very interesting.
Ok for Huw Edwards.
Isn't it....
Blah blah blah, she lost me at the "nose ring."
Dan Wootton next?
Navel gazing reporters - reporting on reporters!!
Anna Sounbry\s comments were unacceptable to start with
We need to close his bank accounts, revoke his passport and ban him from all social media platforms.
And send death threats.
So what??
Ooh let’s be controversial……get ourselves in the limelight……stir up the tedious woke wars…..ignite the Gammon.
Rinse and repeat……ad nauseum.
Just look at the quality of Sky news' reporting since introducing diversity quotas. Downhill ever since.
Ummmm as a women and dont know this guy or women, so totally nutural, on listening to this it sounds old school speech which this day and age is not acceptable. I must admit vert misogynistic. I have had a 29 year career in the Army and thought these comments were acceptable but after getting out and realising what i thought was acceptable is certainly not. I will research this women as i want to be correct as i have come across a lot of righteousness women which does not settle with me
Reflected or ruminated?
The big bad wolf is coming for all of you! Not if, but when. And men first…
Is she any better ?
She's said worse about men and is a complete fraud in any case.
