Al Porter at it...

I liked his radio show but jesus he used to go on about "his fella". Wonder is his fella still around?

I wouldn't have recognised him at all from that picture, the case has obviously taken a toll on him. I wonder what's next for him.

Today's case has nothing to do with the multiple allegations that caused him to lose his job at Today FM

So what is the status of that case if there even is any case ?

I have always found it strange that this guy gets vilified around here without being charged or accused with anything in a court of law whereas the rugby players up north who went to trail for rape are viewed as victims.

Porter has not worked since the allegations first came out 2 years ago and yet he has been found guilty of no sexual assault to date.

Met this guy once before at work. He was really, really inappropriate, a sort of 'just us lads having a laugh' but it was way over the line. Not remotely shocked at any allegations against him. Considering that was in the cold light of day in a professional setting, can't even begin to imagine what he'd be like with a few drinks onboard.

I find it stranger that the 2 rugby players were subject to a witch hunt after not being charged of anything in a court of law.

''Inappropriate'' how exactly? That could mean anything, from smutty jokes to outright touching or assault.

Really strange and uninvited sexual jokes, 'jostling', etc. It was grossly inappropriate.

This. Maybe it's just me, but if a Garda tells me to feck off, I'll feck off. If it's something that I think they're doing wrong, stand back and record. Simples. But no, people seem to think that their intervening selves will make the Gardai think it's not worth it... Muppets.

Nevin Parsnipp wrote: »

Ridiculous that so much Garda and Court time wasted on this ...be much better if gardai were empowered to issue a fixed notice with a fine of €250 for this kind of thing.

The legal wallahs have a vested interest in having low level matters like this going all the way to Court.

A very expensive way to give somebody a "Mind your own business" message .

Yup, and it happens every night of the week. People arrested for breaches of Section 8 of the Public Order Act. Gas thing is this actually made it to court. I had a few in my day didn't get past the station...

Nevin Parsnipp wrote: »

It may be the best Kippo...but my point was that it is very very expensive....and as a taxpayer I am paying for it .

Think about the amount of Court and Garda time taken up so that this dipstik could be told to mind his own business. ?

Yup, but like above, he is but a needle in a haystack of repeat offenders and idiots who "know" their rights. Unfortunately, Section 8 requires evidence to be given by the Garda as to why they were arrested for it, so a fixed charge wouldn't apply to it as it would be on an individual basis.

Will we get to find out why it was dropped or is it just the magic hand of the DPP? I always find it remarkable how prosecutors in other countries have to face the media and tv cameras to explain their decisions whereas here we just have the uber secretive DPP. They really should be more accountable to the public.

Anyway is that Porter off scot free or is there another case pending?

I think it depends on the case. This was dropped before it got to court, so he's innocent of it in the eyes of the law/there's no evidence of wrong doing. But like anything of this nature, he has had his trial by social media, and it appears the public find him guilty.

I don't have access to these messages, or any experience of him (heard the name, never knew who it was) but if the stories are true, it's only a matter of time.

Just had a look at his twitter statement out of curiosity

Loads of positive comments mainly from women who want him to resume his comedy act ASAP

From the limited experience I have of his act it was 90% smut and camp sexual “humour”

Can he get away with a similar act now?

I only ever saw him on the LLS a few times. Camp gay jokes galore and tried to ride Tubridy on the desk one night. I'd imagine his live shows were the same just a bit more ramped up.

Food and calories cause obesity. Certain medication may increase appetite but this can be controlled except by lazy and weak willed people.

that's interesting, back when this story broke years ago, there's was some abhorance at his text messages that leaked. if you look at gay and straight people in terms of equality, it was a guy "looking for his hole" like millions of people do every day, these texts were used to make him look like a predator.

Eating = calories = additional weight if > calories burned

Fairly logical to me.

I would guess anyone who disagrees is dragging a fat hole behind them.
