Andrew Tate I d never heard of him until this week

I’d never heard of him either.

Ignorance is bliss.

Hopefully we won’t hear much from him again - he’s been arrested I think.

Well only for 30 days Wwm I was listening to a ring in and a man said his name came up around the dinner table all the adults said ‘never heard of him’ the 13 year old son said “yeah what a legend”
Please Google him and his hate speeches I ll try a link but they don’t always work for me

All I’ve seen is the spat between him and Thunberg. Then JHB weighed in calling Thunberg a half-educated autistic who knows nothing.

We could cheerfully do without these sort of people.

Hello @GretaThunberg

I have 33 cars.

My Bugatti has a w16 8.0L quad turbo.

My TWO Ferrari 812 competizione have 6.5L v12s.

This is just the start.

Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.”

Thunberg to Tate.

JHB weigh-in

“I’d choose AT’s life every single time over the life of a half-educated, autistic doom laden eco-warrior”

Let’s hope we never hear from AT and JHB ever again.

I’d never heard of him, either. But then I don’t do Twitter or TikTok etc., and FB only once in a blue moon.

Nor I: the article is horribly revealing, isn't it. His repulsive views, in conjunction with published material from male " incels" ( the involuntary celibate) are very dangerous in how they might shape the minds of boys and young men towards girls and women. Surely the photograph of this man with the odious Nigel Farage is enough to turn any woman into a Voluntary Celibate..

A disgusting excuse of a human being if ever there was one. Hopefully those Romanian prison guards might lose the key to his cell...

That's because we are not his target market, which is young men. Tate is dangerous. Hopefully he'll be put away and that'll be one less violent, antisocial influence on an impressionable group.

Yes I was aware of him. He is a vile man.

Scary stuff.

I’ve been aware of him for several months, as have the authorities.

The people trafficking allegations have been around for months (This May as far as I’m concerned).

Like Jo says, he is incredibly, horrifyingly dangerous as far as boys are concerned.
I certainly wouldn’t want to be teaching Y6 boys at the moment.
His influence on boys’ behaviour towards women teachers and girls in schools has already been documented.

He’s that terrifying mix of evil and a degree of intelligence.
He seems to have manipulated the TikTok algorithm to a scary degree.

His father was a international chess master of note, and Tate played professionally as a child.
He was also the second best kick-boxer in the world of his weight.

I sincerely hope that they throw away the key.

He's all over the news, I'd never heard of him either, but then so called "influencers" rarely target our demographic probably because they realise we'd be a difficult target market, less susceptible. This man sounds absolutely vile

Not the most important point in this whole issue, (and too late for Big Brother) but Big Brother and similar shows could do with having adequate screening of its participants.

Reading the rest of your posts, he appears to be very dangerous. Shocking

Not the most important point in this whole issue, (and too late for Big Brother) but Big Brother and similar shows could do with having adequate screening of its participants.

They thrive on having the most controversial and volatile contestants.
It wouldn’t surprise me (or you, Galaxy, I suspect ) if the producers weren’t already aware of what Tate was all about

Possibly. I had such a soft spot for BB at the start but then...
It's a difficult one I suppose ( I dont mean with violent men that's easy) there were many contestants who obviously had complex mental health issues but of course those people have the right to make their own decisions.

My grandson and his girlfriend brought him to my attention some months ago. He asked me what I thought of him.
I didn’t hold back. 😡

Yes, I like BB too.
Especially Celebrity BB. The one with Pete Burns et al was one of my favourite TV experiences ever.
But yes, there have been some very worrying decisions made - in fact so many contestants spring to mind.

I bet his mother is really proud of him! NOT!
What a disgusting, vile, self opinionated jerk he is!

He has a sister too.
I think that he has daddy issues

I wasn't aware of him before, and wish I didn't need to be aware of him now. What a thoroughly rotten specimen he is. Terrifying to think of the influence he is having over impressionable youth.
I don't watch much TV at all and have never seen BB or similar programs, but having read about them I'm sure the participants are chosen quite deliberately.

I read somewhere -?GN?- that it was his electronic spat with Greta Thunberg that revealed his location to police and led to his arrest.
I like irony.

I read that too. I am not sure it's entirely true, but I think it's fine to pretend it is

One of my 15 year old, online students attempted to discuss and defend Tate to me. Difficult.
