        What makes you think of him?

        Like Brand has been a blatant huge hypocrite for years (Talking about injustice of poor people whilst marrying in to a massively rich family, for example.).

          He hung around with Brand a lot.

          Has a similar creepy vibe, photograped in clubs with women.

          He created old gregg

          I would add that I have absolutely no evidence against Noel. I’m just saying I wouldn’t be surprised.

          Also David Walliams seems a bit rapey.

          Again. No evidence. I just wouldn’t be surprised.

            I get you.

            It’s like I don’t like Leigh Francis, and expect some controversy with him. Not in this league, I just think he’s a bit of dick. Doing gambling adverts doesn’t help.

              He’s definitely rude and crude, but I don’t think he loves himself enough to expect women to sleep with him.

              I agree with you. In his case I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes down for something else illegal (fraud, embezzlement, theft etc.). Again, not saying he has done anything.

    The moment someone starts going all “anti-woke” you know they’ve got something to hide and they are trying to get acquainted with the pardon-dealing industry.

      Yeah. Forcing himself on women was entirely consistent with his public persona, but shifting hard right just to seek cover makes it so much scummier.

      Nah. It was the moment he turned to Jesus and got baptised I realised he was guilty.

      The right wing shift was for the money.

      Pardon dealing industry? In the UK?

      I’m pretty sure only 4 pardons have been given in the last 25 years. 1 was posthumous (Turing) and the other 3 were given to convicts who saved people’s lives while incarcerated.

      I don’t think being anti-woke is going to help anyone get a pardon in the UK.

      I do think it’s a grift, just not convinced it’s a grift for a Royal Prerogative of Mercy.

        I don’t mean in the UK. He probably has done some of that in the US too.

        He could flee and seek political asylum or something. The US has extradition treaties with the UK since 2003, but they are pretty much ignoring all laws and treaties anyway.

      He’s been a regular on Bro Brogan for years. That’s where his shift to the right-wing began a few years ago, shortly after his sex pest behavior became public knowledge.

    Well, I’ve seen this coming for a while now, but I must admit, I actually liked him once upon a time. His comedy specials weren’t just funny, they made you think about the abstract ideas of religion and consciousness. He was like a handsome rockstar comedian, the sort of person I wish I could be. Smart, sexy, cool, interesting. Hell, when I got sober from alcohol, reading his book that re-imagined the twelve steps into something less religious actually helped.

    But then I heard the rumors, and it kind of fit with the image he gave himself. And then he made that abrupt turn into right-wing conspiracy and that all but confirmed it. To be honest I thought he’d already been charged with something and had just celebrity-ed his way out of it. Sucks, man.

      Hey, help is help, don’t let his failings mean that your success is somehow tarnished. I get the sentiment as well. He was a little over the top for my taste but the reboot of Arthus he did still ranks pretty high on my list.

      I loved Dennis Miller back in the '80s, before he made his heel turn into a right-wing douche. In retrospect, I realize I actually just liked the SNL writers coupled with his snarky delivery.

        Dennis Miller was a great writer himself, and wrote all of the Weekend Update stuff that he did, and a bunch of sketches. It’s ok to say he was once great at what he did, because he was. But I would recommend going back and watching Dennis Miller Live on HBO. I went back and re-watched it during the pandemic, and it’s pure Libertarian garbage wrapped up in snarky wit and big words. So he’s always been kind of a right-leaning douche, but 9/11 broke his brain and he dropped all the Libertarian pretense.

      britian is pretty slow on these types of crime, he pivoted to the right to avoid said charges.

      I’m not entirely sure it wasn’t the other way around.

      He probably knew some charges were coming years ago, and started adapting his output accordingly.

        Oh for sure. He’s been soft-pedaling his right-wing transformation ever since the initial allegations went public years ago. The hard turn recently is probably exactly as you say, he knew charges were coming.

          I don’t think he thinks the way you and I do. I don’t think it was that calculated.

            It doesn’t take much calculating at all. It’s just easy to convince right-wing audiences that sexual misconduct allegations are all a conspiracy by the Deep StateTM to silence them. It’s a pretty basic grift.

          the suddenly “baptism” was obvious, because he mustve knew charges were going to be brought against him eventually

    I’ve been thinking for a while that people that have a sudden right wing or andrew tate sphere turn are really just trying to get with like minded rapist, or whatever they’re into, circles. Basically networking and putting out signals.

    This explains his sudden turn to Christianity last year. He’s going to try the “God forgave me” defense.

      Actually it was his turn to the right wing grifting. Christianity was just icing on the cake to make evangelicals acceptable to him
