You're the lad whose brought politics to this thread mind.

I'm playing your game by going off on tangents.

Your nuance to read past and current situations is blipping again buddy.

Let's be to the point, Brand only spoke for himself as he's an opinionated, self indulgent, narcissist who also has a superiority complex.

In other words a cuunt.
It does need to be reiterated that one has been charged, the other not, but yes I do think there are similiaries in terms of how people who are an 'open secret' can avoid being exposed and the support networks they build up around themselves are key to that

But no, within that principle I don't think there are similiarities really. And to jump to some story about Savile from 40 odd years ago doesn't suggest you take this story as seriously as you did that Rubiales kiss for example.

In looking at how he "got away with it" I think it is important to see who was courting, emboldening, justifying him etc at the time.

That's not unreasonable, in fact it's sensible.

I agree with you on the narcissistic personality etc but if everyone did know what was going on, it's fair to ask who kept feeding the ego and giving him more effective power.
