He will go into hiding for a few years, change his act/persona/whatever and most likely move out of Ireland. By the time he's working again (be it in public eye or not) there will be many more scandals to have hit the headlines and his will have been forgotten about.

What he's alleged to have done is bad but I'm sure if we're honest we all know of an overly gropey drunk from our close or extended friends group that we kinda passed it off in the past with a rolleyes and not much more. They didn't face consequences of losing their jobs or be publicly shamed on every social media platform. That of course is expected in the industry he's in but a little perspective is needed and overly sticking the knife in a guy at his lowest point is unnecessary.

If he disappears for a few years, changes the name and chases a different career path, I don't know, say, bookstore owner as an example of one thing that popped right into my head just now. My point is, people are saying 'He's ruined' 'that's his life over'. I'm saying, it's not. Al Porter the comedian and radio dj - that life is over yes. But to suggest his options are to either starve to death or go on the dole and hide out at his mammies are over-dramatic. He'll still be earning feck loads more than me for many years to come! (not bitter about his massive wage, honestly lol, I'm in the same boat as those who didn't even know he existed until a year ago!)

Given that the media have named him publucly in this country where legal action is threatened for less, there may well be substance to the allegations, but the way it has been handled is devoid of due process
Rekop dog wrote: » Well knowing what Saville did and from hearing the account of what it's alleged Al Porter did I'd argue it's very far removed. Molestation of youths and groping an adult outside his trousers are world's apart. One would probably get a life sentence, the other would probably avoid a fine. I'm not making light of the abuse of someone vulnerable but again perspective is needed.

Loads of people on this thread have never made a single mistake in their lives, apparently. Can we not wait until he is actually found guilty before we construct the gallows?
Stheno wrote: » What do you think he'll be earning feck loads of money as? My point was that he's at a very early stage of his adult life for this to have happened. Most people who resign/ leave jobs have other options and are not publicly vilified in the press and social media over alleged behaviour. Suggesting that he disappears for a few years and changes his name is fairly extreme action for him to have to take and would certainly be life changing in one's twenties. If there is one thing I am uncomfortable with this and other similar events it's the "trial by social mefia" that appears to have supplanted our justice system.
