Tell my about it and GB News and Talk TV have made things even worse and Murdoch struggles to get cross media ownership in radio, TV and print.Explain how the MSM has been taken over by the left.
Not people I know - comments I have seen on Youtube Streams and other internet places. Lumping them in with the women/girls my mum used to refer to as "no better than they ought to be" Obviously Twitter is full of trolls and bots but there are plenty of people who post elsewhere. Also, I assume there were a lot of women in the 2000 audience that gave him a standing ovation last night.You appear to know different women from me. Who are these people? In fact, do I even want to know?
As for conspiracy.....perhaps I don't read the necessary 'newspapers', blogs, YouTube channels or whatever. I presume this is the stuff of 'influencers'. Sorry but that world is the latter-day manifestation of village witch craft as far as I'm concerned. Incidentally, did you know that Joan of Arc was probably a bloke?
I don't see.....

You're dismissing coercive control/grooming of a 16-year-old as "heat of the moment"?!
You don't even say it's your opinion
He's a legendary bellendStruggling to get my head round that 23 people voted legend in the 2007 poll.I know there was only 2 choices and those who liked him wouldn’t have voted bellend. A legend for what though?
I'm struggling with this comment, to be honest. The idea that when someone says they've been raped that we should not examine what they get up to? How do you investigate and prosecute rape without that?I think that forensically examining what adults get up to behind closed doors is a very dangerous road to travel.
You may be able to form a clearer view after watching the programme.
Ah, the good old days. If they were "up for it" they wore stocking and sussies, no? Hot blood and big, big balls.Neither of these cases amounted to coercive control. As noted above the first case was a complaint about how Brand behaved in a relationship. In the second, the employee appeared to think that it was in her contract to do whatever Brand wanted. I must admit one of my eyebrows raised itself a millimeter when I heard her account. It would be hard to convince a jury this amounted to coercive control.
I'd like to think that cases like this may help the laws to be changed even further. Every employee who deals with other employees or the public/customers should have it drilled into them that there are lines that cannot be crossed and that they are required to be safe by laws. This requires a complaints procedure that is fit for purpose. My understanding is that in some places (I don't know where but parts of America may fit this bill) if a someone asks someone to come on a date with them, and there is a work-related connection, this constitutes an offence. This may seem a bit harsh but I rather like it. Unfortunately it would mean that I would never have got together with Mrs T (we met through work) and our age difference (bigger than Brand and the 16 year old) would have meant I would be open to a coercive control charge. But so be it. If laws are needed to keep the vulnerable safe from predators then let's have some laws.
(I do hope we don't get any old school types on this thread bemoaning lefty political correctness, hankering for the good old days when you could slap the secretary's arse, and declaring they could tell whether someone was 'up for it' or not ('frigid'), but I fear that someone of that brand is bound to be along in a minute).
Lots toIts called institutional capture where the left have taken over the MSM and Academia and the Right counter culture increasingly comedy, music etc.
Lots toat in your post but really enjoyed the 'Right counter culture' bit about music and comedy. I guess you're referring to Right Said Fred and Lee Hurst

Kathy Burke and Gary Lineker own all the rest.Tell my about it and GB News and Talk TV have made things even worse and Murdoch struggles to get cross media ownership in radio, TV and print.
The woke blob are out of control
The missing third brother! Altogether everyone "I'm too sexy for the jab, the EU and bloody Gary Lineker."I guess you're referring to Right Said Fred and Lee Hurst![]()
Silly me, I thought you were making judgement.
"I don't see him being banged up for anything on that show."
I wasn't referring to the rape allegation. I was referring to the other stuff which most may find disgusting or unfathomable. My point was that it is dangerous to conflate the two.I'm struggling with this comment, to be honest. The idea that when someone says they've been raped that we should not examine what they get up to? How do you investigate and prosecute rape without that?
I understand an idea of not examining what consenting adults get up to. But if one of them is claiming consent was not freely given, then we absolutely should examine what happened. To not do so would be a dangerous road.
