I’ve never seen anything about him before this evening. But what he tweeted was racist, no nuance and that’s why he’s deleted it.Quote:

This, it’s a major flaw in the justice system. He’s now guilty in the minds of the majority, compounded by the media and that can never be retracted.Quote:

…. I had no idea who this guy was. Same goes for P. Morgan or that thick, posh, blonde woman.
Didn't think he'd go down well on here !Quote:

Apparently, he has political ambitions. Having polled less than 2% of the vote in the 2021 London mayoral election, he'd probably be better off concentrating on his failing acting career.
Exactly. But they didn’t specify he wasn’t being done for shoplifting either. Just seems a curious caveat to includeQuote:

It's also kinda difficult to get angry regarding something you know nothing about.Quote:

Of course I don't. It's just an observation and I was agreeing with someone else who wrote itQuote:

Remanded? Must be a pretty strong case..
More likely due to a breach of conditions imposed after an earlier arrest in respect of which he was still under investigation.Quote:

Although i don't think that anyone in this thread agrees with what Fox tweeted.Quote:

He’s clearly saying these things purposely to get a reaction from people, and so those getting outraged, especially those trying to engage with him on social media, just give the guy attention he craves. Starve the guy of oxygen.Quote:

They're just massive bellends. There's not much point in discussing these people and their reactionary opinions. They hold little or no sway and are their to get a reaction. Some people just crave attention. They're the internet's equivalent of a drunk reactionary family member at a wedding party. Everyone knows what that person is like and most steer clear. A reaction is what they crave. Sad individuals.Quote:

How could it draw attention to him? Twitter is about the only outlet he can use, because it's easy for people to spread his comments around. If he writes a blog, or whatever, it can't be done anywhere near as easily.Quote:

Deplatforming works quite well. When was the last time we heard from trump?
It probably would have been wise to use the word allegedly.Quote:

He blanked the media when he came out of court, which is not surprising after what happened.Quote:

Yet another speculative thread started on here for every man and his dog to make judgements and pass off opinions, based on absolutely nothing more than headlines and accusations. This board is going to going downhill fast.
This is not what you think it is, and it has nothing to do with showing how people were wrong or over-reached themselves. The post above is potentially libellous, so the OP or mods may want to considering removing it, as they did in the other thread.Quote:

I'd hope that people a lot cleverer than me are looking into what went on at previous parties , and also looking into the complainants and any links. You'd think there must be a story worth finding out somewhere.
