Al Porter Scandal

I seriously don't see there being an open door for him. Look at how quick the George were to distance themselves from him.

I don't think their statement was anything like that, but more of clarifying what actually happened on the night and that anything else was just erroneous chinese whispers.

Statements from The George and Al Porter's team.

Picked from the audience randomly! Ha!
Poor Al, trying to enjoy his quiet night out and to go through being dragged up on stage!:rolleyes::pac:

More nonsensical social media mob outrage.

Guy went for a drink with his mates, big deal.

It's not really splitting hairs though is it. A tax avoidance scheme is a million miles away from being branded a sexual predator - especially when you're known for a 'nudge nudge, wink wink' sexual innuendo brand of comedy.

You do realise I'm saying they both did the same things AFTER to try and move past it? (ie incorporating the scandal into their act) read my post.

**** me. People think I just came out and said both scandals were the same!!
Look, I'll put it in a very easy to read way. Jimmy Carr handled it by making fun of it. Porter is trying to do the same. In 6 months another comedian will try to do the same. All I meant.

I know people on boards (and the Internet) like to twist posts so they can argue. But that's what I said. That's what I meant. That's what's in my previous posts for everyone to read.

Or does anyone else wanna twist things further?

The statement from Porter’s agent in relation to his appearance at The George said: “Al categorically denies criminal wrongdoing, and he has not been charged or contacted by gardaí.

Above quote reveals that Porter intends a come back into the public eye in some form or other. I cant think of any other reason for retaining the services of an agent?

Secondly what are the Gardai doing if they have not even contacted him?

A complaint needs to be made to the Gardaí. I'm assuming nobody has formally made a complaint.

I'm not sure if that's more disrespectful to men or women

That would be because it's disrespectful to neither, Lad (we really need a thumbs up emoji on boards... I'd put one here if there was one... sort it out, Mods!)

Apparently Al said he is entitled to a private life.
So what does he do?
He gets up on stage and makes cringeworthy inappropriate jokes to the public.

Seemingly a number of ppl were quite hostile to him in the crowd and also some started posting on social media negatively about it. I know as my friends partner works in the G and was there on Monday night.

I can see why.

In reference to Porter in the George on Monday night.

A comedian made inappropriate comments on stage as part of his act?

Jesus Christ no wonder comedy is dead. Are people that mentally fcked up these days that they cannot understand the concept of satire. How do they cope in the world.

...I don't think you know what Satire is lad.

Nice bit of deflection by the scumbag.

It’s his word against the victims.

So he said he did nothing, if he did something the complainant would surely make a statement... So it looks he did nothing

he did nothing? Note he also attempted to blame the victim.

''I accept the report conclusion:

''That physical contact (a hand on the back and chest) during a conversation made the complainant uncomfortable and later that day physical contact (a hand on his shoulder and a kiss on the cheek), my standard photo pose, for a photo he requested, made the complainant uncomfortable again. I regret that.
