@I_amMukhtar Quite a few duo's do not socialise outside of the work.
Too many examples to name, he was also famous way before Walliams.
Would be surprised if he knew anything.

I think like a lot of women - and a lot of men as well - I’ve found the last week pretty emotional.
Famous and powerful men - who abused that fame and power - finally not getting away with it. And behaviour and culture that we were all supposed to just laugh along with - well now we can actually say - this is not ok. It was never ok.
It felt like a watershed moment.

But what is a watershed moment? It’s a moment that is critical turning point or decisive event that permanently changes things.

So what IS actually going to change?
Well - there is one thing I would suggest could change - and it would be controversial - not everyone would agree with it.

Right now - if you’re a 16 year old girl having sex with another 16 year old - or the boy from the year above at school - that’s treated exactly the same as if you have sex with a 45 year old not in a position of trust.
Should it be?

Here's the thing - there’s a cliff edge on how you’re treated when you turn 16 - but not the other way round.
In England and Wales, if you’re a child, and someone has sex with you - the law treats you completely differently if you’re under 13 or if you’re between 13 and 16.

If you’re under 13 - it’s rape - consent is legally impossible. But if you’re 14 or 15 - it can be prosecuted as “sexual activity with a child” rather than rape which of course carries a lower sentence.

This was a massive issue during the grooming gang scandal - and the Gvt is looking to change it.

But right now - the law staggers the age of consent the wrong way.

It tapers the cliff edge for people who have sex with children - people that you and I would call rapists, but the law doesn’t treat as such.

But it DOESN’T taper the cliff edge when you turn 16. And maybe it should.

How about a staggered law of consent the other way instead - so you can have sex with a 16 year old - but only if you’re under 18 yourself?

Then the events of the last week really WOULD be a watershed.

Jagged Little Pill is one of the best albums to ever exist & that's a hill I will die on

[Moonlightexpress @Moonlighty885]

@RoxyDrummond You know what surprised me? I thought she was early 30s when that came out.
She was like 21, 22?
Incredible album.

Pete Hegseth is unfit and unqualified to serve as Secretary of Defense.

House Republicans just chose to protect him over American servicemembers.

Every man defending Russel brand should have their closets checked. They all sound like they have raped

@Neets21 It's quite frightening isn't it.

@jimmykorderas Real story is we called it because all of 1990 we were so pissed at Herd that every time we got on PPV we did every goddamn Tennessee spot we knew to tear the house down and have the best match of the night before we did the job.

Me alegra profundamente volver al #Perú. Este regreso tiene para mí un significado muy especial. Durante años compartí la vida de su gente, escuché sus preocupaciones, aprendí de su fe. Muchos me abrieron las puertas de sus casas y me hicieron sentir uno de los suyos. Hoy comprendo cuánto de esta tierra permanece conmigo y cuánto de mi propia historia les pertenece también a ustedes. Por eso puedo decirles, con profunda gratitud, que regreso también a mi patria. #ViajeApostólico

👊 Liam Gallagher: “Russell’s a dick!”

On The Howard Stern Show, Stern asked Russell Brand why Liam Gallagher doesn’t like him, then read out what Liam had previously said about him:

“Russell’s a dick. I really don’t care about any of his relationships. All I know is anyone can do better than going out with him.”

Liam is clearly a very good judge of character! He can spot a wrong’un a mile off and has never been seduced by famous friends or industry approval. He spent years taking the piss out of Noel for hanging around with celebrities, and he’s never changed. He says what he thinks and puts people firmly in their place.

Same with David Walliams, as you can see from the other clip below. Liam was on to him immediately and never let him forget it.

Any more, @liamgallagher? 😂

[Moonlightexpress @Moonlighty885]

@HowardRBeckett Good on him

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

Lewis Hamilton visits the Rafah border 🇪🇬 to inspect aid meant for Gaza 🇵🇸

Lewis is forcing media to cover aid blocked from reaching Gaza 🇵🇸

Standing for the oppressed

There are those with elevated positions who are silent to genocide

Then there is Lewis

Shining a light.

@extrasalt513 Absolutely, it's so obvious that's his a complete charlatan.

Calvin Robinson's entire ministerial career is just him stomping his foot and saying, "Screw you guys, I'm gonna go play church at home!"

[Really Right Wing @ReallyRightReal]

@JohnCleese He pled guilty after begging for thousands in donations for his trial that he’s now not having, so no judiciary 🙄 Just like his mate Yaxley did the other year. Nice little earner. The thick shits who keep donating to these criminals still don’t think they are being had.
