>Sara Pascoe revealed a number of comedians tried to 'set up a union' in a bid to stop 'predators' in the comedy industry. Those comedians hoped 'a good enough union' would prevent predatory behaviour.
>Due to libel laws, it's made it hard to name an alleged predator without unmistakable evidence and "you can't just tweet about it." She went on to indicate that there is more than one predator in the industry, including "a man that's assaulted men."
>During the programme, Pascoe also revealed she had once reported a male celebrity to a TV channel after a viewer had told her that they had been raped by the man. She said: "Have you ever done a job and then someone's contacted you and said: 'That's my rapist'? I had it on a job recently where I've had to go to the channel, and it's that whole thing because you feel such a sense of responsibility but you also want it to be dealt with well... it's so complicated."
Every time, I just wonder- Why not go straight to the police? At the very least they'll open an investigation, and even if there is no evidence to prove it happened, you have at least started a bread crumb trail police can use to build a case. I just don't understand.
Because the police historically do fuck all. And being able to take it further than a police report is a rare occurrence.
What would need to happen is victims to go straight to the police when assault happens but that is unlikely to become the norm due to people wanting to keep appearances, shame etc
>Because the police historically do fuck all
The Bongaloid police only do their job when a British child insults to prophet Mutthommed or if a woman prays across the street from an abortion clinic.
cops dont give a fuck and they have no reason to help you. half the time they'll actively discourage you from filing a police report bc it means more work and a lower ratio of solved cases.
The rate at which the police bring charges over rape in the UK is under 2%. The conviction rate relative to all rape reports in the UK is around 1%. On the off-chance your case goes to court, the defence lawyers get to dig into your personal life and grill you about how much of a slut and unreliable alcoholic you are and poke holes in your entire story. The whole experience is deeply unpleasant.
A lot of old school feminists have even called for the decriminalisation of rape and the destigmatisation of the experience because of how inadequate the criminal justice system is as a means of addressing it.
Because they are afraid of being blacklisted or called out for lying.
bong police is beyond incompetent. they make cops in bumfuck florida look like sherlock holmes.
The backlog on rape cases is actually insane. Most of the time they go nowhere. Kinda like why black people don't call the police.
This is why some cultures all started vendettas against people who wronged them. There was no other way to correct or punish crime if the state or local power structures refused to do anything
>Kinda like why black people don't call the police.
why would they when they're the criminals
thats what he said you fucking retard. good job being so desperate to make the joke to The Lads™ that you missed the point.
yes- black people dont call the police because the police know they wont get anywhere by questioning people purposefully avoiding the police. fucking knuckledragger cant contain himself i bet he finished the word every time he sees a capital N anywhere
you should take atlanta and secede.
>Why not go straight to the police?
We all know she is talking about Russell Brand and James Franco, yes she could be talking about Bill Cosby or Jerry Seinfeld too but they are too old.
Women won't stop until comedy is just a bunch of hectoring hags talking about their vaginas and telling corny knock-knock jokes from the 70s.
It was a pretty good joke though.
I like most of those jokes they seem very innocuous and old fashioned
They're from an amateur comedy festival held every year in Edinburgh.
That Anon is just a retard going "British? Comedy? I saved an image about those things!
>They're from an amateur comedy festival held every year in Edinburgh.
A bit misleading, it's literally the largest arts festival in the world.
Sure, but a lot of the comedy shows are just a couple of people in a room listening to stand-up. Most of the comedy acts there are unfunny dentist's kids trying to break into comedy on their parents' dime.
I hate British people and their faux wit
>Why shouldn't you play cards in the Savanah?
>Because of all the cheetahs
It's a joke as old as time
heh, it amused me a little bit
Number 1 is probably the worst joke on the list. 2 is significantly funnier.
Behad and incinerate all comedians.
that's not a good joke
zookeeper, cheetah?
jokes?
" I thought I was dating a big cat, but it turned out he was a cheetah" makes at least some sense, but it's an ancient joke
two or three of these jokes are pretty funny, but that's the ten best from the most prominent comedy festival in the world?
jokes?
I walk funnier than these jokes
It's weird because despite none of them being amazing, #1 is clearly the worst on the list.
Number 2 is funny.
The core concept of #2 is funny but it needs better setup and delivery. A more adept comedian would weave a story in which they naturally say the final sentence and it'd work much better.
the titanic joke is stolen
I wish I had a job as Sara Pascoe's private bathroom.
I know there are MANY predators out there RIGHT NOW but I won't say who they are either
hope jack whitehall or russell howard get cancelled. the poof is probably alan carr
I hope it isn't Karl Pilkington
>consent laws
>do we need 'em?
Play a record
Turns out, little serial rapist
>Due to libel laws, it's made it hard to name an alleged predator without unmistakable evidence and "you can't just tweet about it."
WTF, I CAN'T JUST RUIN SOMEONE'S LIFE BY ACCUSING HIM OF BEING A RAPIST WITH NO EVIDENCE? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!
meanwhile, they accuse a new person every day
>spends years downplaying sexual abuse
>gaslights people into believing all pedo scandals are Daily Mail fabrications
Yeah I think he's next.
>This is the one thing we didn't want to happen
uhh mootbros??
Please, no. He's class.
Does he have poison ivy?
herpes
thats just what his skin looks like without makeup
Which irrelevant a British comedian is NEXT!?
Classic women
>THERE IS A RAPIST IN HERE PEOPLE!
>BUT, if i tell you who it is, i will put myself at risk
>am i not brave for telling you this?
>some homosexual who watches the show says one of the actors raped them
>you believe them

I have a friend in the industry who has heard some nasty stuff about David Mitchell.
Bull
Shit
I heard he wrote a book under a pen name called Seduction Secrets of the Pharaohs
such as?
David Jason.
Rosie Jones
There is a sort of 40-60 something sexually liberated left wing male that is well and truly fucked. These are the sort of guys who voted for Clinton/Blair in the 90s and made their careers being edgy while shitting on Christians and anything vaguely conservative and "puritan". Think John Cleese but gen-X. Times have changed and censorious, puritanical feminists have turned on them. Because these sorts of guys are way too proud to admit that they threw their lot in with the wrong group, they are metaphorically throwing themselves onto the funeral pyre of history. No one gives a shit about these guys. They bred so much ill will that no one likes them and no one will feel bad for them when they're gone. Pretty much every alt comic from the 90s falls into this category. They have closets full of skeletons.
IMO you shouldn't have your life ruined because you did blow with a 16 year old once, but they guys dug their own graves by being massive hypocrites.
this guy did a bit about how he likes the look of circumcised baby dick and then called everyone in the audience anti semites
it's probably james alacaster, he's a slimey cunt all in on the trans shit probably trying to cover his ass
*acaster
As we've seen from Russell Brand, the real sex pests go all in on the right wing rhetoric so they can use the "THEY'RE SILENCING ME FOR MY VIEWS" defense when they get caught.
>Russel Brand
>Right wing
Plebbit astroturfing. Nothing about Brand is right wing. He has been consistent in his views his entire career, you lying tranny.
All these accusations have served to numb the population.
Something must be done because people who actually got sexually assaulted are lumpt in with a bunch of me too political opportunist
A lot of it is childless women being jealous that children got all the attention in the initial exposes. I read an article by a feminist where she complained that sex crimes against women are treated
as less severe than sex crimes against children. Psychotic and narcissistic. There is a certain subset of the population that resents not being the center of attention at every waking moment.
Lol, dude, at this point it's 98% political opportunists, 2% real cases.
dunno if you are being ironic? people with anti establishment views get cancelled by the establishment big shock
i can see it being stephen merchant
dont trust that lanky freak
>>Due to libel laws
kek do westerners even care about this anymore?
uk != usa, there's really no free speech protections
Thank god women want nothing to do with me.
She looks exactly like the sort of bitch who would do this. She's always such a stuck up retard whenever she's on shows. Thinks she's 130IQ but is 90IQ.
Are you confusing her with Katherine Ryan? Pascoe is about as far removed from that description as I can imagine. She told a story on Would I Lie to You about how she accidentally flew to Central America for a holiday because she thought Costa Rica was in Spain. Not exactly promoting the image that she's a genius.
>you need to be in our union in order to create comedy
women ruin everything
>I'll happily do interviews and get paid to talk about the two predators, but I won't actually name them teehee uwu
I've heard a bunch of shit about David Walliams from people in the industry. Apparently he's a massive creep whose editor got him to remove a passage from his autobiography about fucking his siter.
>David Walliams
yeah i don't think that would surprise anybody
Matt Lucas always giving me the creeps too both of them are kind of the type you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alleyway kind of vibe
I reckon it's probably Noel Fielding, no way he wasn't trolling the same camden dives as Russell Brand.
A man wearing an ironic t shirt and a fedora covered in glitter just raped me!
>then he ran off into the night screaming ''I'M OLD GREG!''
My gf has no idea who he is and she showed me that on her phone last week. She thought it was hilarious
guy down the pub told me she likes young boys
not sure what he meant by young though he's 80 years old
My friend said she tried to grab his cock in an elevator but he evaded her with ease.
Hurt people hurt people
we need to set up a "union"
