Re: In other news
The story begins with some rather dubious decisions:

The plot thickens with a massive conflict of interest that apparently doesn't seem to matter:

Hopefully, she's one of the hundred:

Police are said to be looking into a historical case involving a well known comedian and a once prominent politician [ who I once had the pleasure of meeting I might add but that's another story ] .

Re: In other news
Full Andrew Tate interview here if anyone's interested. I have to say, the BBC interviewer did pose some weak questions. He insisted on filming his own version so as it wouldn't be selectively edited ...

Re: In other news
I haven't watched the full interview GCRO, only the 8 minute clip from the BBC website. From what I saw Tate dug his own hole with very little prompting needed from the interviewer. Seems like a completely abrasive character who is happy to lie and deny anything thrown at him that he doesn't like.
I can only imagine the BBC chose a female interviewer deliberately. I'd be curious as to whether he would've been quite so condescending and dismissive towards a male interviewer (probably still yes though). I thought she did quite well in trying to remain professional and not get dragged into him continually contradicting himself.
Seems like a very dangerous individual though. I get proper Charles Manson vibes off him.

Re: In other news
Definitely a strange one. I did think that the fact there was an upcoming trial limited the amount and depth of the questioning that was allowed. So far, I don't think he's been convicted of anything. The trial will be interesting to watch for sure to see what comes out.'stone hammer wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2023 2:46 am I haven't watched the full interview GCRO, only the 8 minute clip from the BBC website.

Re: In other news
From what I've read he hasn't been charged with anything...yet. The Romanian courts keep extending his detainment while investigations take place.Greatest Cockney Rip Off wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2023 1:29 pm Definitely a strange one.

You've got to think/hope they've got something substantial after detaining him for nearly half a year.
After reading on the Andrew Tate thread that some poster's kids had been holding him up as some bastion of truth and taken in by his 'teachings', I'd be tempted to go as far to say I hope he's put away for a long time regardless of whether he's guilty or not. I can only imagine the damage he's done to some people's minds.

Re: In other news
He's teaching's seem to echo those of hard line Islam and gangsta rap, the negative virtues of both that generally get a stiff ignoring from the "progressive left" that have picked up on this dickhead......

Conservative Christian Americans have been changing the laws at local levels to ban books which talk about homosexuality or challenge the traditional white supremacy American view of history. Their argument is to 'protect children & the American family values'.
So now Progressives on the other side are using the same language, written in the laws, to ban bibles. The old testament is pretty gruesome (and contradictory but that's another story).
All very silly tit for tat but just another battle in the culture war that is America.

It's getting weird when Utah makes a stand on religion, that's for sure.
What I'm attaching isn't news, and I'm not posting it to slag these people or the teflon l'orange off. It just made me chuckle. It's funny, especially the dog chewing on a beer can.
