Hard News: Narcissists and bullies, in reply to Richard Aston,
Who missed telling them a real man, an honorable man would not countenance having sex with drunk, incapacitated or just plain young women.
How the hell did they grow up with so little respect for women?Probably they learned exactly this from the men in their lives. This is the source of the problem, that there are still plenty of "grown men" in this country who thing "Ugh! Fuck now!" constitutes foreplay, and that any woman is 'fair game', especially if she's off her face. That's what rape culture IS! How can you have got through 12 pages of these comments and not got that yet?

A corporate “sorry” from the Radio Live presenters. Hmmm.
I believe there have been a number of complaints to the BSA. RadioLoathed has taken down the full interview. Looks like the "shock jock" approach has backfired a bit much and they're in damage control.

It’s easy to say that on the Internet. A lot harder to do it in real life.
Most of what Tom says is harder to do in real life. ;-)

Police do not need a complaint before they will investigate (or lay charges) in respect of any offending
I sit corrected.

I thought statutory rape was something the police were able to prosecute without a complaint being laid?
I believe it is more that a minor's parents/guardians can make a complaint without the minor's assent. The sex may have been completely consensual but, because of age of one or more parties, it is a crime. But a complaint still needs to be laid. Graeme may correct me on this ;-)

Picky note – you have 24th of November as the starting date – should be October.
[edit] otherwise, an excellent piece.

Hard News: The Future of Television, in reply to Kumara Republic,
And if Roman-style gladiator matches somehow managed to be brought back, it probably won’t be called “blood sport” or “snuff”. It might be called something like “reality TV like you’ve never seen before”.
Blood-obs

Ah – not Google, then: FilesTube.
Maybe he equates the Internet with Google. There are people who do, you know.

This has been the standard practice by content industries - make huge claims, without evidence, knowing that most people won't fact check you. I think they learned it from the politicians.
