    I think if he was honest enough to just come out, put the hand up and admit he ****ed up I think he go much farther.(rather then roundabout way he set to apologise)

    Sadly for him, he seems to think it's just part of him, trying lay into others who question him?

    Bullies never do this.

    I'll try that one in court if I ever need to.

    What he has been accused of is actually quite serious and his flippant attitude towards it after left a lot to be desired, putting it down to his 'flamboyant persona' haven't washed with posters here and rightly so

    Well he didn't rape anyone...lets get that straight ....he touched up someone inappropriately? he has since publicly apologised for his behaviour and acknowledged it was wrong...so does he really deserved to be blacklisted for life?? he's a young lad after all with a lot to learn in life..doesn't he deserve a second chance??

    you know, i think this #MeToo movement is now turning into a one big witch-hunt

    I believe that's sexual assault.

    A lot of people don't feel other people up and bully without their consent either.

    So never be critical of anyones behaviour, no matter what. Cannot say anything about rapists, pedophiles, murderers etc because "Those without sin may they cast the first stone". Brilliant

    He's the new Joe Dolan.

    Joe Dolan is dead and we still have to listen to the c*nt.

    Al Porter is only one step up from death (i.e a pervert) and he won't go away either.

    WTF is wrong with you people, f*ck Al Porter and his bullsh1t and stop talking about him.

    You make a good point in fairness. :D:D

    There was an article in The Times today stating that he hasn't apologised to any of the men he allegedly groped.

    He's gone international- he must be pleased with that.

    "put the hand up"

    Isn't that how it all started

    Putting it up or dropping it?

    It's probably why he pulled his tweets. The Times would have contacted him or his publicist for comment and to inform him that the story was about to be published.

    Pity he deleted his tweets. I quite enjoyed the irony of him calling me vile.

    Yep, hand down the trousers and inside the underwear, in the front and back, unwanted fingering to name a few things.

    These are played off as 'groping'-but groping is, to my understanding, over the clothes. Sexual assault is under the clothes.

    Much of what Larry Nassar (the US Gymnastic's doctor) did wouldn't be seen as rape in your eyes, but the judge very clearly saw it as such, and sentenced him to multiple life sentences.

    Btw, the Witch hunt's mostly affected women. (There were exceptions, a few men too). Werewolf hunts affected men and boys. (Again, a few exceptions were women).

    He is creepy af.

    I had never heard of him and someone gave me tickets to his show 2/3 years ago.
    He is a sick ****er, some of his what's app messages were doing the rounds a while back.
    Talking about tearing young lads holes open etc etc

    It's a serious offence, people have been jailed for it in the past.

    so did jimmy savile.

    The other day, on very early morning radio, pre Morning Ireland, I heard a news item which went like this “DPP are to look into charging a popular media figure for take/sexual assault”, and like some other items that appear at this time, it was never mentioned again in the news. Whether the item was unverified and couldn’t be re-broadcast or not is in question, likewise whether the item was referring to AP. Interesting nonetheless.
