Of course you did. You just can't formulate a worthy response. Trump's maxim of "Never Surrender" is clearly one that you don't subscribe to. Well it's a start I suppose. There's hope for you yet.

There is no evidence that all Trump's accusers are of the same left leaning political persuasion. They may be united in that they all now express anti Trump sentiments, but that has nothing to do with his politics, but rather to do with how they feel about him as a person because of what he did to them. Even if they were all staunch Republicans do you honestly believe they would still vote for him?

Jill Harth made her accusations against Trump in 1997, long before he entered politics, so that had nothing to do with political persuasion.

Alva Johnson, another of his many accusers, actually worked on Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, so she was presumably on the political right, not the "corrupt left" you mention.

I have no idea about the political allegiances of the other 24 or so women who have made allegations against him, and I doubt that you do either but feel free to enlighten me if you do.

So why are you trying to conflate political allegiance to the perpetration or accusation of sexual offences? It's ridiculous. Those on the political left have just as much potential to commit sexual offences as those on the right. Whatever my political allegiance I would be equally condemnatory of both. Sadly you are unable to make that separation or distinction, or at least not where Trump is concerned.

And to answer your question:... "So because I make a post critical of those who remain silent about abuse I am aiding the abusers?"... Don't be ridiculous. It's you who are twisting words 180 degrees as you put it, not me, as that's not remotely what I suggested. I was merely exposing your hypocrisy and double standards in your post. But you know that and it's your inability to offer a valid counter response that sees you having to resort to wilfully misinterpreting my words.

I evidently stated quite clearly that it was your unstilting defence against the many allegations of Trump's sexual offences and your denigration of his victims on a public forum which serves to empower Trump and inflict further harm on his victims.

Because while your solitary voice might be relatively insignificant you are in fact part of a unified larger mob like chorus all expressing similar repellent views, which is how people like you manage to inflict your damage on the victims and empower the abusers. You should be ashamed of yourself because it's precisely because of people like you why many victims don't feel empowered to come forward. You are part of the mob that keeps them cowering. That is why you are an enabler and empowerer of the abuse and the abuser.

And as for you humiliating me on another thread, I wasn't aware that you did. You'll have to try harder if that was your intention, because in any of our previous exchanges, which are thankfully very few, the only person that you managed to humiliate is yourself, but then you do seem particularly adept at self-humiliation.

Worth a read for anyone wondering how he was getting away with it for so long on such a scale (allegedly). Horrific.

I'll put it as simple as possible. If I am a hypocrite it would require me to believe trump was guilty and yet defend him no matter what. But every point I have made has said I believe Trump is innocent with reasons why. End of debate.

marlowe said:

But your reasons for believing in Trump's innocence have no validity and are also disingenuous as they are based on your warped and baseless association of all his many accusers to a "corrupt left/establishment".

And as I pointed out there are those amongst his many accusers who you could not, with any credibility, align to a "corrupt left / establishment". I even invited you to demonstrate who, amongst his many accusers, can be aligned to a "corrupt left /establishment" to give your argument any semblance of credibility. You have no evidence to make any such claim which is why you did not respond to my invitation to prove your allegation and simply ducked out of the "debate".

Your so called "belief" in Trump's innocence is not based on anything real, genuine or tangible. You do not have a genuine "belief" in Trump's innocence. What you have is a refusal or reluctance to acknowledge his guilt, or the possibility of his guilt, because it is inconvenient to you and your allegiances to do so.

It is that same "inconvenience" which sees enablers behave in the way they do. Enablers are not only looking after the interests of the abuser, they are looking after their own interests. In your various postings you have repeatedly demonstrated the classic character traits of an enabler. The same character traits as those who enabled Al-Fayed and others.

THAT is why your post condemning enablers was hypocritical.

I suspect what has happened is that Harrods have finally started to react.

What is appalling is the number of complaints that were made to the police which received "no action". Police inactivity has got a strong whiff of the "Savilles" about it. A rich powerful man able to play (pay?) the police to avoid serious charges?

He was a Freemason too. No doubt had relationships with senior Police Officers, not that the Met doesn't suffer a huge amount of corruption anyway.

Just on Freemasonry…

I’ve known a couple who are the soundest blokes you’ll ever meet. Generally speaking, they do good. It’s basically like being a Rotarian. It’s generally a social club, with fund raising for charity and a chance for an evening out, a few whiskeys and a bit of a prayer (optional - their only requirement is belief in an almighty God - they don’t care which).

That said, I imagine shenanigans did and do occur, particularly during the period of that prick’s offending. But it’s not some big nonce club with sacrificing live goats over an altar.

Generally it’s beardy old middle class CAMRA blokes talking about the football and raffling off stuff for charity

That’s all very nice and sanitary but brother takes an oath to protect brother. It’s comparable to Gentleman’s Clubs, or Old Etonians.
But it’s all ok because they give to charity.

Without evidence though it is just speculation and innuendo. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, mind you.
