Laurence Fox told GB News viewers to boycott this coffee brand and their widescreen comeback was simply epic
Rewind a week or so to Laurence Fox getting angry – again – this time after a coffee brand chose not to advertise on GB News any longer for reasons we presumably don’t need to go into here.
To briefly recap, here’s the Twitter exchange which led to @Grind pulling the plug.
Hi @Grind – we’re sorry to say that your advertising has been spotted showing up on GB News, which pushes out messages like this – surely this isn’t the kind of channel that you’d want to be aligned with? pic.twitter.com/v0VStwpkM3

Hey @grind please confirm you will stop advertising in Gbnews

Hey Tariq. We can confirm we’ve pulled all future spend from GB News. Thanks very much for bringing this to our attention 🙌

And Laurence Fox was spitting nails, obviously.
Will never buy your products ever. I encourage anyone who supports free speech to #BoycottGrind
Get your coffee stuff from somewhere else. Companies who promote censorship like @grind should be ground out of existence.
Hit them where it hurts. https://t.co/KMwXoc1FOy

Except it turned out he didn’t exactly hit them where it hurts, after @Grind helpfully updated everyone on what had happened in the wake of Fox’s boycott call.

Not sure how long it’s been since Fox had his name in lights, maybe he can considerate it a favour.
And here’s what Grind had to say in full.
Boom.
The words “entertainment personality” doing a lot of heavy lifting here…
Well played Grind. First class response 👍
