    National broadsheet reporting it now so surely we are allowed comment.
    Is it me or is Al Porter the spit of Robert Mugabe?

    I'm not condoning any of these alleged acts but why is it all of these claims are being made in the context of having happened and thus the accused is guilty? It's too easy to throw allegations against people and no defence is allowed.

    Well he can’t pull a Spacey on it, he’s already come out as gay.

    Hope the advertisers on Today FM follow boycott his radio show. It’s the only way these guys will learn.

    I really hope that if the allegations are true he gets kicked off the shows he is on.

    I have been in the situation of being harassed by two well known figures while working at PR events. What the scumbags weren't banking on was me being very good at krav maga, and shouting. :D Needless to say they didn't approach me again

    Don’t know about this Porter chap but Mugabe is definitely grabbing some ass there.

    Two guys in front looking a bit pissed off with it.

    I think the allegations must be rock solid enough for the Times to run it on their front page. No way the do that with just rumour.

    Fifteen minutes listening to Al Porter on the radio had me sincerely wishing he would die.

    Probably a tad unnecessary to wish death on the guy there mate.

    If you look at the secret rte producer Twitter account, a few people are commenting on Al Porter feeling them up.

    Yesterday, Al porter was the drizzling ****s as a comedian and presenter.

    Now, its a relative compliment

    The other story further down on the IT website is just as interesting:
    https://www.irishtimes.com/business/financial-services/the-gangster-superior-the-irish-priest-and-the-wealthy-widow-1.3286022
    All the ingredients for a horror film (paradise papers, dose of scandal etc) maybe Al's voice could narrate it, for added effect.

    Im not surprised.....he comes across a bit rapey with some of the lads on blind date. Maybe trying to play up to stereotype for comic effect but this puts a differentry colour on it
