I'm baffled why Calvin has been ousted.

Was he on the show that evening? No.

Are his appearances on GB News liked? Yes.

Has he been crass/libellous on air? No.

Will people stop watching because of his exit? Yes maybe.

He goes against the materialistic value system adopted by fake cool stations like GB News. Also he’s a man of God, and as God means authority, it’s a non starter.

Don’t worry, God never loses😊

Never shrink back from truth!

I'm so sorry to hear this Calvin and will miss Common Sense Crusade very much. But you must honour your conscience and your convictions. You won't be the only one as the noose tightens on those who speak up for free speech and values. Seems a two tier system operates now with the scales tipped heavily in one way. God bless you Calvin.

It is right to uphold free speech even when one does not agree with the speaker--actually, especially when one doesn’t agree! It’s also right not to throw a friend under the bus. God bless you, Father Calvin.

Oh dear Calvin I am so sorry you have to deal with all this. I am sorry others are having to deal with this as well and it's a reminder if I needed such that as a society we are in a terrible mess. GB news is not always to my taste but at times it is, whatever, it is a breath of fresh air compared to the likes of the BBC that I can no longer bear to watch. Indeed I will not pay for a TV licence now and support such. How such a world leading iconic brand has fallen to the level it sits at today I just do not know. GB news is needed to offer a place for a different set of views that are not woke or controlled and for this reason it must survive. You are correct that views expressed were inappropriate and crossed a line. You are also correct that we should offer forgiveness. Indeed, do the woke not transgress and not even realise such and feel no need for forgiveness?

So those that stick a knife in anothers back will never really prosper and in my eyes any progression is an illusion and worth nothing.

Well Calvin what an interesting journey God has laid out for you with many quite unexpected twists and turns. Whatever happens, the Holy Spirit will be guiding you.

God Bless

Fr Tim

"So those that stick a knife in anothers back will never really prosper..."

I like that comment. It is good to remember that a so-called progressive paradise cannot be created by trying to ruin/witchhunt others.

That Ofcom can be such a scary word in a free society is shameful.

In the words of Bonhoeffer, the cost of discipleship is high. Stay strong and true to our Lord as I know you will.

Sorry to hear this, however I am a true believer that nothing happens by chance. While you are trying to catch your breath as a faithful, disciple of our Lord you know he’s got you. So breathe, pray and trust in him. He moved you for a reason which will be revealed when he feels you are ready and able to understand it. Keep walking in truth and light and never lose faith not even those who disappoint you. The cancel culture only exists for those that invest in it.

I am a pastor's wife in America. You will be in my prayers. I watched Common Sense Crusade every weekend. I will miss watching it, but I know that God has other plans for you and your ministry. May the Lord bless and keep you!

I've been a fan from afar for a couple of years now. But watching how they have treated one of the most polite, balanced man on the airwaves I'm now a full time fan. I know you will be OK, I just wish you were on terrestrial TV so the non believers I would hear you and finally believe. Take care you brilliant man 🙏

Father Robinson, I think you already know what Corrie ten Boom meant when she wrote, “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” Many are holding you up in prayer.

In the beginning it was a discussion about a men's health minister.

Nothing sinister. Ava suggested that Fox, one of them supporting an undisclosed narrative. That's the trouble with the Avas of this world, there must only be one narrative. Like a red rag to a bull

Laurence the red mist, unable to control. Laurence Fox isn't a wokist at all. Ava the feminist knew what buttons to press that's all. Yes Foxes comments were wrong and uncalled for. Alas Dan and Father Calvin supportive. Fell foul of Gb news owner's initiative. . An acquisition of a newspaper. Demanded less controversy and mainstream news, that's informative.

To me it's a travesty as Father Calvin and Laurence have great public popularity.

We still need a men's minister sadly.

I take on board Avas comments obviously. So many children suffering mental health problems apparently. What this feminist doesn't realise.

Children benefit from a father in a stable family. Men need mentors and guidance increasingly. With a men's health minister perhaps more children benefit from a stable family.

Christian's rise above those trusted that disappoint us, and put us down.

We overcome adversity, for none can keep a good Christian down.

We will triumph over the false ideology of the pronoun eventually.

Florentius the unworthy.

Well said. I would say courage is in short supply these days but truly it is in short supply every day. No one ever regrets choosing right over cowardice.

Of course they removed your voice - it’s truth and Christian - but the truth will never be extinguished it burns in the heart of every believer. Nothing can stop what’s coming. Keep speaking faithfully my friend, God will show the way. He is Sovereign over all!

Free speech and diversity of viewpoint ended in the UK media in 2003 when Ofcom was created. It will not come back until Ofcom is gone. It was yet another imposition by the Blair Regime, a pernicious, authoritarian measure for which they had no democratic mandate.

I’m a supporter of Fr Calvin but I’m afraid in this instance he made a mistake in supporting Mr Fox.

Free speech , yes , but NOT filthy language .

GB News will survive . I’m sorry Calvin will not be on it .

Yes, he apologised for his infelicitous comment but couldn't understand his suspension was about upholding standards, not 'cancellation'. Very sad to see. Hugely admire the guy, but he's seriously losing it.
