  He doesn't get that his attempt to be glib is actually damning:

  No one imagines he's living as a hermit and foraging for food in dumpsters, so ... well then he's clearly getting a living from his activism.

  And no, people shouldn't be paid to protest anything. If you feel strongly about something and want to help others, great. But don't expect to make money from doing it. That's crossing an ethical line that leads to precisely the quagmire he got himself into.

  But of course we know he's joking about the building a house part - that would take some actual effort, and if it's one thing he absolutely can't abide it's real work.

  Why play by their rules? Nothing helps you - leave it be.

  Schofield and Lloyd have some things in common.

  Both pulled out the "mental illness" card when caught and held to account for their behavior: "you don't want me to kill myself, do you? Wouldn't you feel bad?". Actually I do, dip-shit, and no, I'll be fine - I would do a little dance. I don't care if it makes me a bad person, I'll sleep soundly don't you worry.

  Schofield worked in children's television for many years, just like Jimmy Saville. Both had their behavior poorly investigated / covered up by their channels and bullied those who spoke out.

  Schofields brother is a pedo who's now been sent to prison.

  Schofield now claims the outrage is "homophobia", but which grown man who left his wife for a young girl (that he met when she was underage) would ever be described as "stunning and brave" for 'coming out'? Gay groomer privilege.

  Schofield is a shit. Lloyd is also a shit. Narcissists think the world revolves around them.

  What's all this fuss about Lloyds use of abnegate? It's a perfectly cromulent word.

  You sagacious bugger!

  Lame I know, it's the best I could come up with - the synonymophomagraphtron wasn't helping.

  Even if he has not engaged in sexual activity with minors, his regular use of a trade that does traffic in minors damages any attempt at combating CSA, because he will become the issue as his past gets more and more attention. He knows this, hence the many times that he has insisted that any sex workers he 'dated' were 20 or older. This, in itself, is an issue- that 20-year-old may have been forced onto the streets at a much younger age, which is the sort of thing that someone like him should be fighting against, instead of supporting with his dollars.

  I never picked up on it originally but noticed from the great review video posted a few pages back - Lloyds very first attempt to dismiss what he did on his livestream by comparing it with "worse crimes" was to say "I've not raped anybody".

  Question: How could he know? Read the experiences of people who have escaped sex work - they have to pretend that it's consensual to avoid being beaten or worse. You'd think an EX activist would know to listen to an EX to know the true reality of a system, right?

  If you do the math, and look at the reality of prostitution and trafficking, anyone who regularly uses sex work victims is almost certainly a rapist.

  Just like in politics, people tend to accuse others of the things they themselves are guilty of, because in their heads it is the absolute worse thing someone can be accused of (the thing they fear being found out about themselves), it makes me wonder when people start making pre-emptive denials of things they "haven't" done ... is it because deep down they realize they may have?

  I hope Man City do the treble

  man united did the treble in 1999 under sir alex ferguson (the best manager in english football - sorry, city fans!

  xd).. and now man city are just one game away from matching that achievement.. i'd just like to say that erling haaland is a phenomenon, a f**king goal machine.

  this norwegian dude is just 22 years old, and everywhere he goes he scores a f**k-ton of goals - he breaks records.. case in point - his debut season in english football, he goes and smashes alan shearer's and andy cole's 34 premiership goals (haaland scored 36 premiership goals).

  As a City fan, I agree that City should win the treble!

  We've had some dark times (falling down to the 3rd tier at one point) and had to wait a long, long time for success to come back to Maine Road, erm, I mean the Etihad. But now things are setup for sustained success going forward and it's great to see.

  I don't care what team you support, you have to see the beauty in how City play and they are a joy to watch. Pep is transforming the game.

  If we do win the treble and equal United's achievement, hopefully they can go on to set new heights that have never been done before - maybe a 4th consecutive premier league title, or why not back-to-back trebles? We can dream now ...

  Manchester United is his second love, after himself

  Ha, great - we beat them! City is the primary club in Manchester now!

  They sound like the kind of crazed vigilante who used to get on the news here in the UK for showing up as part of a mob outside the home of some old man living alone on a housing estate who they'd all decided was a 'paedo', baying for blood outside and smashing his windows.

  Yeah, typically when they found out someone was a retired Paediatrician ...

  FYI: This has to be the 10th copy of this. The more topics you start, the longer your topics will take to appear. When it says "queued for processing" that means it has been received and you have to wait for it to show up. The queue is to protect the site from spam and blabbermouths. Duplicate topics are spam to me and are removed.

  Why didn't he just block her ? and he's on "vacation" or what ever and that's what he's doing , having a twitter war with a nut case?

  It probably suits his agenda to have someone making accusations like that. They are easy to bat away, because they are a little OTT. Although there are strong hints and potential evidence that something like that happened, there isn't enough to make direct accusations.

  It suits him to have them made because he can point to it and say "see, lies and defamation!" as though that is what all the other accusations are too. They are not, but it's how he operates - picking on one thing that is potentially untrue or unprovable and using it to dismiss everything as lies.

  People that go too far don't sound credible, they make themselves sound like nutters. Same with people who make unreasonable or sensationalized claims about the WTS too.

  BTW: let's not copy paste Twitter over here, especially if it's badly formatted - make it readable and / or do a screenshot, and link to the appropriate topic so people can confirm it for themselves.

  there no prostitutes in Bishop’s Stortford.?

  Sounds like he went to watch the FA cup ... on a telly? Hope he's a United fan!

  As you can see from his lowest point so far (1 January/1 April 2023), that means he's so far only recouped 144 of the total 509 patrons lost from his peak in 2021 (that's just over a quarter), and the numbers had been dropping again in the past six weeks.

  The rate of decline after his temporary bounce has advanced to more than it was before, which is nice to see.

  His "sky is falling" begging is no long-term solution. It's desperation. He doesn't produce content that people need, certainly not that people want to pay. He doesn't fulfill the promises he make to get the money, even way lower levels.
