Yes indeed. I understand better, now. (Now I have been acquainted with all his conspiracy nonsense, about which I was unaware, my sympathies have evaporated to a point of dryness. The well of human kindness that I had nurtured on his behalf is now dusty. Arrid, in fact. Oh dear, how sad...

Bit like @Bozza and NSC. Which is why each and every one of us lives in perpetual fear. Ahem. :wink:

They can do what they want. Like a pub, the management does not need to offer a reason for barring someone, and it is up to the outcast to prove discrimination.

You outline different examples of life's rich tapestry. There is no guarantee that any relationship, no matter how young or old one or other of the participants may be, will either last or fail. We have rules that deriver from societal norms, and legal cut offs that are deemed to be 'on average'...

And there is bollocks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon

That had me in danger of inhaling my coffee :bowdown: Yes, perhaps the Deayton outcome would be best. Hislop and Merton took the piss out of Deayton so relentlessly that his position on HIGNFY became untenable. I don't have a problem with Brand being ridiculed for being a twat. But I am not...

All our rabbiting aside, perhaps the age of consent could usefully be edited. Yes I know there are countless people who started a relationship age 16 (or younger) and it lasted a lifetime, but that isn't the point. If we are going to bleat about how 'unbalanced' a relationship between a 30 year...

Unlikely.

Nothing :shrug: (I seem to be experiencing deja vu all over again. Is this groundhog day?)

Careful with all that logic and reasoning. It's terribly establishment. And no match for strongly held opinion.

I do hope so.

Nothing :shrug:

I have an eye-witness story about RB that makes yours somewhat beige. I may share it if it transpires that he's tried and convicted. Till then it remains firmly in the consensual satiation of 'sex addiction' arena, where pity may still triumph condemnation.

If it all turns out to be false then there will be no harm done to Brand. He'll write it into his act. So, as I cogitate, yes, perhaps the media splurge, motivated by money-making as it may be notwithstanding, is for the best.

So Alice is now 33. I agree. And yet... It could be argued to be a legitimate strategy to draw reluctant victims into speaking up. I just hope the CPS have got it right on this occasion. Oh. Hang on. It's a newspaper, fishing for money. As you were. This isn't right.

Yes, I saw that. Vey unpleasant allegations. The edit showed him describing, in his act, doing much of this, getting on for 20 years ago. Making the mascara run and making the girl choke. To much audience laughter. I would be interested to know when the allegations were alleged to have taken...

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 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.

Funnily enough.....I have always enjoyed his performances, but consider that despite the substandard effort on channel 4 yesterday, it is perfectly reasonable for the police to explore the allegations. I suppose it is perfectly legitimate to rely entirely on one's gut instincts, albeit I have...

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...
