Both are sleazy creeps that used their power and influence to take advantage of woman. If being a sleazy creep who used their power and influence to take advantage of women was all Weinstein is being accused of, you might have a point. But it's not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I have to say that I do think until charges are proven in court of law, accused shouldn’t be named. I know the theory is that it may encourage others to come forward but where allegations of rape and sexual assault are concerned, mud sticks even if innocent. It’s a complex issue though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve absolutely no idea. As Rowan has said, this sort of thing sticks so it will follow him around for the rest of his life no matter what. It is ridiculous how these things come out in light of a separate scandal and don't surface at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf it hasn't harmed a lot of famous folk. Casey Affleck just won an Oscar and R Kelly still has a music career to name just two examples. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the admiration of Herne was a joke, possibly not though in some cases. He was a brothel keeper, the same as any with a couple of junkies in tow. His lot were desperate for "fame" rather than smack. Other than that, has anyone ever been in the company of somebody like him, an absolute fanny rat, hole at any cost character? They tend to be complete bores. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 In the last few days Twitter has seen GQ political correspondent Rupert Myers and Vice journalist Sam Kriss outed as harassers, both have now lost their jobs. Myers 'apology' was a classic of the genre, he said he was "sorry if he'd made anyone feel sub optimal". Kriss justified his behaviour by saying he'd previously had sex with the woman involved, invoking the Assange/Galloway card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading the accounts of what happened, it's difficult to feel anything other than contempt for those involved. Utter c***s, using the tiny amount of prestige and power their positions afforded them to pester young women for reluctant sex. Pathetic. Is that still consensual? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
