I always thought he was OK.

Not all women are nice or kind.

That includes professionally and privately.

Your post has stirred up things I rather forget.

Of course it looks good. Coercive abusers are great at looking good to outsiders.

That C4 programme should be a wake-up call to us all.

Women tend not to be physically or sexually dangerous though. **

I think sisterhood belongs to those who assimilate into the pack. If you don’t that means you have a brain to think for yourself. Seen it in girls school, & the nhs.

Its West Mercia Police involved so I very much doubt they will get a conviction.
My Ex wife got away with Financial and domestic abuse along with coercive control.

@Bulkypeepants DH and I are CORPSING over your username. That fucking advert 😂

@user47 If you genuinely think MN is a women’s forum then you are very much mistaken. It’s for parents and always has been. Sure the word mum is in the name but the founders have said that’s because ‘parentsnet’ wasn’t catchy enough. It was never designed to be just for women.

He seems to me as a guy dressed up fake “dapper mature gent” - a man who doesn’t exist in real life and he’s clearly playing a character role. So, in reality he is probably is the despicable man.

Ha ha, you got it!

This will all get brushed under the carpet by the bbc
good for his wife for speaking up

mud sticks though
if it isnt entirely true it will still be thought to be true

it's nothing to do with the BBC though.

It kinda is though, as they have employed him and put him on the tv. The BBC needs to have a look at its recruitment procedures. Quite a few men with undesirable characteristics getting on the TV!

it’s been a bad few months for the BBC. Dancers kicking women, presenters sending dick pics, hideous child abuse photos being solicited, and now this. What does it say about the toxic make culture there, maybe?

You don't use MN much then? Women on here are utterly abusive and horrible too.

He isn’t. There’s a Dave Grohl thread at the moment that is shattering many illusions

Oh of course some women are. But take the last few days for example. We've had Jay Blades and Dave Grohl, a Swiss man who killed his wife then put her remains in a blender, the horrific mass rape case in France, a sportswoman in Uganda set on fire by her ex, the boss of Abercrombie accused of sexual harassment, not to mention the wars, terrorism and extremism which is generally perpetrated by men. Yes my original post might not be the most eloquent thing ever said, but come on, stop burying your heads in the sand.

And for anyone I've triggered (I suspect mostly men), NAMALT blah blah blah

How do you propose they weed out men who are (allegedly) abusive towards their partners? It simply isn't possible. The same goes for the other stuff really, although as the recent stuff was done "on company time" it is their problem.

I always thought he looked as if he was putting on a bit of an act being all nice on the repair shop . The experts who mend the stuff seem genuinely lovely

Well given that several people raised concerns on Strictly, the corporation was aware of the charges against the newscaster and the dick pic was to a colleague, it wouldn’t take Sherlock Holmes to wheedle it out.

The difficulties the BBC is having was discussed on Newsnight on Thursday.

what do those things have to do with Jay Blades and spotting domestic abuse?

He's been charged with two counts of rape.

Good grief, they're everywhere, aren't they?

It's true. He has been charged with 2 rapes and will be sentences duely. What do you even mean 'if true?' He has been charged

😂 😂 😂

This thread was originally started in Sept 2024 when the first allegations arose.

Charged does not mean found guilty, there is still a trial to go. And we all know the % of convictions in cases like this … pitiful numbers.
