Don't worry, they'll be pardoned and granted a new slew of sponsors for their Based Trad behaviors

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Luckily drumpf can't pardon British criminal court cases and verdicts.

Reform at this moment (fortunately) isn't on government, so unlikely that they'll handle anything.

and given the way things going, they couldn't organise a pissup in a brewery... let alone a pardon for a rapist.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Reform can always make time to pardon a rapist - it's an important part of their recruitment process for their councillors and mayors.

[–] Apocalypteroid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Criminals cannot be pardoned by Parliament in the UK, only by the reigning monarch, and given the current status of the King's little brother I think that is highly unlikely.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Sorry, yeah, pardoning is the wrong term for this. It's more a case of "get the special lawyers who make difficult allegations disappear, in exchange for blackmailable loyalty".

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago

You do realize labour is throwing the country into the arms of reform, now supported by the fucking cia. You are fucked.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 63 points 1 week ago

Well that headline ended exactly how I thought.

[–] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 45 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, the Tates, among others, are now in the business of selling training videos on how to become "OnlyFans managers" and trick women into producing content for them. In other words, they're digital pimps. The Guardian just did a big article on it.

That's why the Tates have women on their property to beat up the other women they have there, some imprisoned apparently, who refuse to continue producing content for them. They are literal pimps, but for OF content.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There’s even a term for those kind of women already, the bottom bitch

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Interesting because the term historically implied best sex workers

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

The best one from the pimp’s perspective, yes. They frequently help the pimp keep the other girls in line too though

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Piece of vile shit continues to confirms to the world he's a piece of vile shit

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Which one? At least 2 to choose from.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So you’re saying it is vile all the way down with the tates?

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Long ago I heard about his brother being just as vile as Andrew so at least those two are vile all the way down.

There was some mention of father/mother but in my memory they don't register on the vile-o-meter.

[–] optimisticturtle@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

The father was a narcissist who abused the mother which was the beginning of the Tate brothers' misogyny.

[–] TheOneAndOnly@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

The new Epsteins. Why is no one saying it?

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We need some sort of marauding, roving gang of dads to kick the shit out of these types of fuckers. Happy Father's Day to everyone that does positive role modeling for kids!

I am shocked this individual turned out to be unsavory

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

I feel like his face should get into a very intimate relationship with a belt sander.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A bunch of sex trafficking rapists. They both belong under the jail.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

The question is why they ever left it.
Under it is right.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Epstein set the standard.

Garubteed these assholes roll around in the same circles he did

[–] Tiral@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

And with my 10 step program on how to be a "sigma" you'll be head of the pack. Perhaps you've seen our headlines of how effective out courses are.

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

On one hand it would be the ultimate punishment for people like this ... on the other, it's easy to hide a missing dick, and just removes the sexual but leaves the violence.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

which why it should be a necessity to stop such behaviours

[–] homes@piefed.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Only good that he's being charged for his crimes

[–] homes@piefed.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, of course

What else could I possibly have meant?

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't know... I would hope nothing else, but people have been downvoting

[–] homes@piefed.world 1 points 1 week ago

Vote for yourself, not for others. This isn’t an election or any sort of contest.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Somebody find their parents and do the worst shit possible for teaching them to be serial rapists

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't know their lore in good detail, but as I recall their dad was a chess champion and also an abusive/absent deadbeat asshole. Most likely the source of their current sociopathic behavior.

Oddly enough, they have a sister who's a normal person and a lawyer who they absolutely despise. She refuses to associate with them in any way whatsoever.

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's never just one parent's fault in such cases, esp. not solely the absent one's. I suspect a volatile combination of both fatherly & motherly abuse, the latter probably more subtle.
