Breakfast news (ITV) is reporting that these brothers have left Romania by private jet, heading for America.

This is after pressure was put on the Romanian government by the Trump administration.

The Tates have joint U.K. USA nationality.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse…

They are Trump supporters. Trump pardoned people who attacked the police protecting government officials - so no surprise he has worked to free these vile men. Thank goodness Boris Johnson is not in power as he idolised Trump and modelled his attitude to the truth and government on him.

So much for Trump's border policy. He has allowed two rapists and traffickers to cross into the United Stateds without challenge.

If their self promotion is promoted by Musk, I think more organizations should shun his X platform. I have never been tempted to look at anything on it.

Jane43 Exactly what I was thinking. Completely terrifying.

BBC news reported that they have landed in Florida.
On their way to Mar a Lago to celebrate??

What terrifies me is how quickly Trump has turned the rule of law on its head, without real criticism or repercussions from
'civilised society '...

The governor of Florida has told them that they are not welcome there.

Good to hear that some people will stand up to them.

I understood from BBC News that Trump has said he knows nothing about this. He doesn’t need the Tate money. They have no power base. What is in it for him? This is not in support of Trump! Just trying to get to the bottom of it.

Well, winterwhite more lies from Trump it seems. The man thinks that if HE says things then they must be true, then when he does a u turn he says that's true. So it ends up with me not believing a word that he utters in his stupid way of talking and smirking. Aaaaaagh

Hmmm. Perhaps Musk is behind this, it's very much his "thing".

Musk has given Tate his support in the past.

I wonder what Mrs. Tate thinks of her sons?!!!! 🤔

They are beyond contempt . Well look who supports them. Trump is just as bad! The fact that these appalling people are allowed to go free and pedal their rubbish on the internet , just shows what women have always known, that whatever waffle these men talk, their reality is their abysmal attitude to women.

The attitudes have been there always, but the internet lets it be more visible. Women have always had to be on their guard with such people. I became head of communications in a large company , just below a director, but all the way through my career had to cope with mens attitude. No doubt there were jobs I did not get , because I would stand no nonsense . (I had copper hair which should have warned them!)

However I was never afraid to speak out, and have quite a clear voice if I want to be heard. Sat in an important meeting with about 12/13 men at a table, the only woman
I interrupted the proceedings by saying "Take your hand off my thigh " Result, red faced man , next to me, all other faces turned towards us. He removed his hand, there was a slight pause and then the meeting resumed. I felt very angry but made no further reference to the matter, just looked him square in the face. He went very red and of course the other good outcome for me was that it showed anyone else with ideas that I would not hesitate to say something!!

I learnt very early on that whatever I wore would get comments, but again I decided that , providing my clothes were appropriate to the situation , in my view, then I would make my own choices and not be influenced by other people.
One great put down I found useful, was if any man commented on what I was wearing, I would smile and say "Ah yes , well at least my clothes are clean" which when men constantly wore the same suit for ages tended to hit the spot.

At the same time I hasten to add that I was married twice, and had many friends who were men, so it is not everyone that has such appalling attitudes. so we do have to recognise the difference - which in the case of these two men is not difficult!!

TiggyW, reading about life for Mrs Tate with her deeply unpleasant husband who promoted his views about women to his equally unpleasant sons will tell you all you need to know.
The Tate brothers seem to have decided that marriage is not for them, and prefer to coerce, rape, and kidnap their females.
If I have broken any rules, given that this matter us sub judice, so be it.

They’ll fit right in with Trump & his cohorts.. rapists & pedophiles . What a world …

Just madness 💔

No it really couldn't get worse.....could it ?

The lunatics really are running the asylum. It's as though every bully I have ever met in my life has come out of the woodwork and they are all in charge of our world now.

God help us all.

Unfortunately a lot of boys have had access to the vile ideas these two dreadful brothers promote on the internet. These men proudly admit they are misogynists and they no doubt have the support of these crazy incel men - who, some would argue, are mentally ill.

I fear my own grandson and his friends have been exposed to these men's vile pronouncements. They are dangerous people who pose a threat to all women.

Agree with Eloethan my 11 year old Grandson said something about Andrew Tate, she had a very frank conversation with him about how disgusting he was. At school alot of other boys admired and liked Tate, my Grandson tried to tell them just what he was like. The other boys turned on him as they liked him.

.

I would prefer the accuracy and impartiality of ITV News every time over that of the BBC, which for nearly a decade has only broadcast their opinion of the News rather than the facts.

Although, actually, I now watch neither and just get information from my online subscriptions to The Times and The Spectator.

I have two sons, 22 and 39 years old.

I brought up both of to respect women in every sense.

If I ever caught even a whiff of anything inappropriate I called it out.

If I missed it, their sisters, 24,27 & 41 would catch it and call them out.

The Tate brothers and their ilk are disgraceful, disgusting excuses for men and are despised in our household!
