Denvek Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I've seen people using both words, but as far as I can tell their gender hasn't been officially stated yet, and neither has that of the second young person who spoke to the BBC today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have spent a lot of times around drug addicts, i can honestly say I've never wanted to see any of them naked, certainly not for 35 grand.

Spockydog Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I see that Boris Johnson has defied the court order demanding he hand over diaries and WhatsApp comms to to the Covid inquiry. Not a sausage about this in the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) As the police announce that no crime has been committed, the BBC presenter has been named, and is now being treated in hospital for mental health issues. Seriously, fuck The Sun and anyone who works there. Scum of the earth. Edited July 12, 2023 by Spockydog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reaction is curious, it’s all over the usual suspects on Twitter and I find the double standards just bizarre. We are only a few years post Me Too and here is a 60 year old man with a wife and 5 children, contacting men / boys 40 years younger and less powerful than him, some while they were still at school for sex, paying them money for photographs and occasionally being threatening and harassing, allegedly one of which becomes a crack addict. And the reaction from some is ‘ man’s life destroyed!’ I’d bet my life they wouldn’t have said the same thing if this was a couple of years ago and it wasn’t a story revealed by the Sun. I also wonder if because it’s males he’s harassing that there is another double standard going on, is that seen as more permissible because it’s not girls?

Either way, I’m pretty sure the point is your outrage is incredibly hypocritical and influenced entirely by your dislike of the sun rather than any moral standards you have I’ve certainly read many arguments online today that it is entirely natural for successful middle-aged men to seek sex with people who are very much younger than they are. Which is *not* what I was reading back in 2017/18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaston de Foix Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 @Heartofice, could you please share the source of your facts please? Seeing a lot of chatter about the presenter, but not the basic facts from a responsible news source. Hell, I'll even take the Sun's version of events.
