Least surprising news of the year

[Sir C]

Oh you make it sound so wholesome and genteel! Running round the back of the hotel to spy through be window on a pissed chick ****ing your mate? Not for me, Clive.

I'm just interested that you, of all people, should have discovered the concept of decency, or morals.

Have you suffered a blow to the head recently?

[World's End Stella]

So let's say it's another offence - kiddie-fiddling or child porn, maybe. If your club were threatening to sign someone convicted of it, would you be perfectly happy for them to do so on the basis that he was appealing his conviction and had been punished enough?

Of course not - and neither would the thousands of knuckle-draggers who've been shouting his case all this time. He'd be untouchable. And that's the problem: there's a double standard in operation because it was 'just' rape and she was 'just a slag'.

My view would be that neither my football club nor myself should do or say anything until the judicial process was completed. There is a difference between that viewpoint and saying 'Ched Evans is a convicted rapist who should never work in football again'.

[World's End Stella]

Of course they did. Everyone must be seen to be virtuous, ideally more virtuous than the next bloke.

I call this syndrome 'Ian Harvey'.

The poor chap's wife has recently given birth and I'm guessing is going a bit short of oats, which can incline a chap to the po-faced.

Given which, it also seems rather unkind to use the words 'blow' or 'head' around him.

[redgunamo]

Not really, no. Him being found not guilty does not axiomatically make her a liar.

Similarly, being found guilty didn't make him a rapist?

glwtp, imo.

So in other words you're claiming you'd be happy for your club to employ a convicted *****phile and let him run out on the pitch with a Junior Gunners, etc, etc?

Bullshít would you.

I don't wish to appear unkind, but I'm not listening to lectures on morality from that repugnant little misanthrope. (That's not to say that I don't love him very dearly, of course, the wee scamp.)

Short career, football, though, ain't it. There's the rub.

Hold on, if said peedofiddler had served the appropriate sentence, surely he is entitled to return to his profession? Isn't prison supposed to be about rehabilitation?

You and your mates round the podiatrist's tonight with the flambeaux, are you?

[redgunamo]

I'm looking forward to all the sanctimonious ****s who wanted him hung, despite the fact that the judicial process had not fully completed, admitting they were wrong to be so premature and issuing apologies that are as public as their condemnation was.

I'm looking at you, Henry Winter. You appalling c*nt.

Virtue Signalling, if that's the correct term, does not need to depend on facts, I think.
