    The moment someone starts going all “anti-woke” you know they’ve got something to hide and they are trying to get acquainted with the pardon-dealing industry.

      Yeah. Forcing himself on women was entirely consistent with his public persona, but shifting hard right just to seek cover makes it so much scummier.

      Pardon dealing industry? In the UK?

      I’m pretty sure only 4 pardons have been given in the last 25 years. 1 was posthumous (Turing) and the other 3 were given to convicts who saved people’s lives while incarcerated.

      I don’t think being anti-woke is going to help anyone get a pardon in the UK.

      I do think it’s a grift, just not convinced it’s a grift for a Royal Prerogative of Mercy.

        I don’t mean in the UK. He probably has done some of that in the US too.

        He could flee and seek political asylum or something. The US has extradition treaties with the UK since 2003, but they are pretty much ignoring all laws and treaties anyway.

          Yeah, read the new testament sometime without commentary. It’s short, Jesus is based as hell, and it gives useful tips like how to resist an occupying force that is looking for people to make examples of

          Like if you actually followed Jesus’s teachings, in America today you might gather your community together, build a mutual aid network with the intention to become self sufficient, and when ICE comes around everyone swarms them offering to help guide them around and shoving their IDs in their faces without being asked (with suspicious knowledge of the law and careful documentation of them breaking it to report them later) (and obviously with the people at risk nowhere to be found)

          Jesus was killed as a revolutionary for a reason, they later massacred the early church communities entirely because it actually became a threat to Rome

            Those lines are also from him and she covered the whole table in clear tape so it wouldnt be washed off. And yeah that triangle thing next to the “2018” is his entire signature apparently.

          He hung around with Brand a lot.

          Has a similar creepy vibe, photograped in clubs with women.

          He created old gregg

          I would add that I have absolutely no evidence against Noel. I’m just saying I wouldn’t be surprised.

          Also David Walliams seems a bit rapey.

              He’s definitely rude and crude, but I don’t think he loves himself enough to expect women to sleep with him.

              I agree with you. In his case I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes down for something else illegal (fraud, embezzlement, theft etc.). Again, not saying he has done anything.

    Something was always “off” with this guy. You could feel it during his “sexy socialist Jesus” era and it was practically confirmed with “conspiratorial Ghandi” revamp.

    Here’s a Channel 4 documentary that goes into further detail about this man’s deranged proclivities.
