Entertainment Andrea Jenkyns GB News HIGNFY
GB News viewers were furious after Ian Hislop mocked Andrea Jenkyns and it made the whole thing even funnier
You might already have seen by now that former Conservative MP and cabinet minister Andrea Jenkyns was on Have I Got News For You on Friday and it’s fair to say it didn’t end well for her.
In particular this moment when she suggested that the BBC had rigged the audience after they enjoyed this joke by Ian Hislop, and the Private Eye editor gave her both barrels.

It prompted GB News to come out to bat for Jenkyns, suggesting she had been totally unfairly treated by Hislop and the rest of the HIGNFY gang.
‘They booed me before I said anything…’

So much so that they did a poll asking whether the BBC should apologise.

Why are you bothered? The man used to get sued every other week and is one of the "stars" of a TV show that's gone on about 20 years past its sell-by date, nobody else knows who he is. Grow a pair.

Obvs- yes!
Hislop has become the very thing he detested. He is part of the sneering controlling establishment.
The BBC and its proxy production companies echo the establishment clarion.

Maybe @rec777777 can be a guest on Friday’s HIGNFY and fulfil their promise.
And really, the only possibly reply is this one.

Oh go on then, and this.
GB News and its viewers are demanding the #BBC is shut down for the bullying and humiliation of Andrea #Jenkyns on #HIGNFY.
Nobody made her appear on there. Have they heard of the off button?
I thought they believe in freedom of speech?— SophieSpring97 (@SophieP25397) October 15, 2024
