A GB News presenter trolled anyone who goes out in a mask and of all the comebacks this was the best (and definitely most NSFW)

Poke Staff. Updated December 13th, 2024

We don’t watch a lot (any) of GB News, and we might not be sticking our neck out to suggest you don’t either.

But occasionally we come across their presenters on Twitter, and they are full of all the empathy and sensitivity you’d expect.

Like presenter and deputy political editor Tom Harwood, for instance, who wasn’t exactly displaying awful lots of either when he said this about people who still wear a mask in public.

Ooh, hot take!

And it prompted lots of totally on-point replies …

If I see someone posting a message like this I just assume they are an arrogant twat with no care for others especially the clinically vulnerable

Hi, @tomhfh, frontline NHS worker here

If I see someone in a Covid mask these days I assume they have underlying health conditions which put them at a greater risk of becoming severely ill. pic.twitter.com/J4EuD4bXL3

Maybe they’re just vulnerable to various infections. You’re one childish twat Tommy.

I assume they have Covid.

It’s not normal to think like this.
There’s no such thing as a covid mask but there are masks that protect people with serious illness and disabilities.
Fancy accusing someone with a serious illness of bringing a criminal. https://t.co/oMqrGhGauO

But none was better – or more NSFW – than this one.

Mega oof. And how unfair to make assumptions about people based on what they do or how they look, eh?
