If you search out and listen to the live radio recording that was the basis of the investigation against him you might form a different opinion of him. For years he was literally a walking groin within the BBC with license to sexually harass whomever he wanted.
Itâs not necessary to read minds to form a judgement about somebody, just look at their actions and words.
Watched his stuff during covid absolutely remarkable how he shifted to where the $$$ online are now, he wasnât making much from the hippy yoga stuff at all, much lower viewership. Heâs done almost a 180 on what he was before. Well at least 120 degrees anyway.
Thereâs big money in conspiracy theories and shock value online , gets the hits coming in.
The baptism is just the latest iteration to get attention and it seems to have worked !
He was very left , the darling of the left for a long while. No one at the BBC is right (No one I can ever think of anyway.). If he was right this wouldnât be news. He got banned from YouTube due to the sexual a ubuse allegations and moved to Rumble. There do seem to be a fair number of sexual offenders at or from the BBC though.
Letâs remember he hasnât been found guilty yet to my knowledge.
It wouldnât surprise me if he was. However, I donât think in the UK Christianity would lessen the public or media attacks on him.
In the US it might.
I think also there is a lot of confusion between what is right wing or left wing in the UK. The church of England is very left wing these days. In the US I think Christianity is seen very much to the right, with exception s like MILK, Kennedy, Al Sharpton etc.
These terms have almost completely lost their original meanings and are basically just used these days to insult or âotherâ people. When I were a lad âthe leftâ was all about workersâ rights, free healthcare, and other big social issues. âThe rightâ were about tradition, self-reliance, small government, and economic growth. Neither could have fairly claimed to have all the answers and at least some of the time they had points of agreement. You could call yourself âcentristâ and people would know what you meant. In 2024 âthe leftâ believes in censorship, uncontrolled mass immigration, totalitarian-style economic and social surveillance, Climate Changeâ˘, dictatorial âhealthâ policies, and the âempowermentâ of the self-absorbed and the mentally-ill. Disagree with any of that and youâre âfar rightâ or a âconspiracy theoristâ. I donât think the old-fashioned ârightâ exists anymore, and thereâs really no compromise point between the left and anything else, so the centrists have disappeared too.
