He is now, he says, "going to back away from the whole conversation for a while. I feel I've done enough. I've proved my point, I've taken the hits, and now it's really up to other people to step up, and I hope they will. I do realise," he says, "that I was perhaps not the best person to try and break open this debate, being a straight white male, but I do think that it has had an effect."

He has, of course, other fish to fry, namely Pope Ted - The Father Ted musical. "We just did our first mini run through of it," he says, "and it went very well. The way we look at it, it's the final episode of Father Ted."

Thanks Graham, you amplified women's voices when nobody else dared, and you've paid a high price for it. You've more than earned the right to step back and let others take over.

Pope Ted sounds like a lot of fun. Hope it comes to a theatre near me.

Thanks for posting the link
Thanks Glinner you have more balls than you think

Thank you Glinner. You have definitely earned your break.
GC won't forget how you stood up for us when not many other men did and that you continued to do so when it would have been far easier to recant and post your belief TWAW to make it all go away [as per Jolyon Maugham].

Cheers Wine

Seems to me he's done a hell of a lot at a great personal cost.
He should totally he respected for standing up for his beliefs in the face of such opposition.
