Lawrence Fox gets his come-uppance at last
The odious conspiracy theorist & general POS Lawrence Fox, aka "Lozza" has been suspended by GB News after he went on a rant "live" on air.
"Show me a single self-respecting man that would like to climb into bed with that woman - ever, ever,"
"Who'd want to **** that?"

He's been on Twitter this morning & refused to apologise for his comments.
What makes someone attractive to other people? A million different things. Do my Wife and I agree on everything? Of course we don't. We are different people, with our own personalities, and we respect one another's views.
But it goes further than that. This muppet believes that no "self respecting" man should find anyone attractive if they don't share his views. I'm sure his former Partners are horrified about what people will think their views are.
What a deeply unattractive man he is. But it is still up to other people whether they find him, or his views, attractive.
I'm sure he thinks he oozes class. Whereas he just oozes.
What is a shame is that the debate on whether men face specific issues that could be targeted by a Minister for Men has been completely lost in all this. Ava suggested that this idea plays into the culture war and that 'ministers' (read 'men') just want to make enemies of women - as it quite commonly the case the conversation then turns to highlighting all the issues women face and that good men need to be standing up for the plight of women. Propagating the culture war anyone? It's worth 5 minutes catching up:
Geoff: "it just doesn't feel like you've got any space for this idea that men might have unique challenges they face" - men are told they should talk about their problems more and when they try to they're told that's nothing vs what women are having to go through.
Damian: "it must be the case that if there are specific male problems, or problems that only affect men, then we should try to deal with them at the same time as dealing with the specific issues that affect women"
Seems reasonable enough to me.
Lawrence's comments when criticising Ava are of course completely abhorrent, but if I tried to re-phrase being perhaps overly generous to his sentiment, he says: "if I met you in a bar and that [the 'enemies of women' comment] was sentence three, chances of me just walking away are just huge"
So there's a good tip to get rid of Lawrence if he tries to talk to you in a bar
He's basically saying a self-respecting man shouldn't want to be in a relationship with a woman who seems to believe men are all evil oppressors.
However Ava then goes on Jeremy Vine and appears to think Lawrence is passing comment on her body - quite the opposite! He's saying you can have the finest figure in the world but your views are making you unattractive.
Within this culture war that Ava thinks is being propagated by the idea of having a role for someone to look to improve men's mental health, young men are attacked for having been born male and into a patriarchy and are somehow to blame for all the sins of the fathers and of the bad actors that make up a small proportion of men today and must all become allies and advocates of women's rights to prove they're not a wife-beater.
Meanwhile, Geoff continues to conduct himself admirably:

Very occasionally, yes. She played the EPT Monte Carlo last year & cashed, & usually plays the London leg.
I'm a huge admirer of her.
