birch-chorley Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Very wrong mate. Then it should be done properly through the police etc Trial by Twitter, I’m not so sure what good if any that will do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His defence already sounds shaky but for me it needs sorting like any other case should be, properly. It's not a case for the Twitter massive to decide.

Not in Crawley Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Half expecting Crawley to be posting "" #metoo sometime soon. Tell the class why? Or is it because I disagreed with some of the off the point posts and therefore I'm such a massive bell cheese I like to grief hop onto worthy causes, even though being a white, straight, middle aged man with three kids living in the home counties and working in London in the creative industries I can't say I've ever felt particularly sexualised or my gender or sexuality has been a hindrance to my career? I'm also pretty ugly, which is a common deterrent. As for Spacey, sack that PR team now - publicly coming out to cover allegations of attempted assault was a huge, huge mistake.

Sweep Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 As for Spacey, sack that PR team now - publicly coming out to cover allegations of attempted assault was a huge, huge mistake. Correct, who the fuck thought that was a good idea, I really don't know. He could have, potentially, brushed off the allegation (especially if no more come to light), but the statement he has released may actually be what kills his career ultimately.

Youri McAnespie Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 The bloke in question was in a film called Adventures in Babysitting probably filmed around the time of John Wayne Spacey's overtures... Going off screengrabs from this he could probably could pass for sixteen I suppose. I dunno, I think he's being pilloried by gayers mainly because of his closetting and only claiming to be gay now, an OJ style defence wildly backfiring. Unless more stories come out of him approaching other under-agers it's a bit disproportionate, the coverage. It's similar when there's been terrorist atrocities or mass shootings or earthquakes etc. in the aftermath the media go bananas on similar, arguably lesser events that occur in the days/weeks following - keeping the kettle boiling. I'd say stab him in the bollocks, rather than cut them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted October 31, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2017 Let's be honest, like the music industry, film and television seems to have a disproportionate number of deviants in it. Perhaps its something to do with being an 'arty' individual. Its not right, but I'm not sure you'll ever eradicate this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted October 31, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2017 Was waiting for that- I reckon its rife amongst a lot of MPs. Not sure how much under age stuff etc like Cyril Smith, but a woman talking yesterday was saying because of the long hours they spend in 'this place' and close working that affairs and relationships do occur. A power thing may be at play, but when I think of the music industry there does seem a lot of deviancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
