Bobby Madley

Agreed, Bobby Madley is a ****, but not in this case

No way that is 100% truth. The punishment massively outweighs the crime, and surely he'd have taken it further, unfair dismissal etc??

Hence my caveat. Given the age we live in, however, would you be totally shocked if it closely resembled the truth?

Being serious for a moment, if correct, absolutely fucking ridiculous and outrageous that he lost his livelihood and career over that.

Also being serious, or drunk and a little bit stoned...
I just read that and it all seemed a little contrived and trying too hard.
Most of my life has involved having to read people in certain circumstances, (not unlike yourself)and although this is the written word and I’m not looking at the man face to face, I just don’t get the sincerity of his actions - only the regret of losing a job in a million.
Anyway, fuck him, he was a wank ref.

That’s fair comment, but he’s had a while to compose it. I suppose if it’s a long way from the truth, then it will out, given the manner and detail in which he’s posted it. I think that makes it more likely to be true, than not.

If correct, it’s yet another example of how offending someone (or in this instance, potentially offending someone) is seen as about the worst imaginable infringement in the workplace. Ridiculous state of affairs and where the fuck will it end?

Agree about the benefit of reading people mano a mano, but that isn’t a panacea, and I’m sure, like me, you can still get that wrong from time to time. Some people are simply very convincing liars and others appear shifty when telling the truth.

And then there’s Prince Andrew.

Yeah, I could have it completely wrong, I accept that. Just when I read the whole thing I didn’t once get a sense of it being heartfelt.
Not to say that what he went through isn’t horrific and potentially something that could have resulted in serious mental issues, but like I say, it didn’t resonate with me sympathy wise.

That’s because you’re pissed and stoned.

I would imagine it was the evidence they needed to get rid of him for other things.

I wish I was as street-wise as you.
