[TV] Greg Wallace

[schmunk]

Hope he has the same feat as William his namesake

Played by Mel Gibson in an Oscar-winning biopic?

I have had sexually innuendo said directly to me from men of a certain age and ladies of a certain age quite a lot of times through my life.
Can someone tell me who I should contact as it appears 30 plus years on I may been Wallaced or do the people who said this stuff needs to be famous for me to gain any traction?

You're about 3 days late with this edgy hot take.

You've got insider experience. Would you say that the broad issue is the lack of procedures. Or that so many working in the industry are on freelance contracts and so in a highly precarious position making complaining that much more difficult. Or that the procedures are outsourced by the broadcaster to the production company. Or something else?

I have little experience of production now, that was years ago but I do know (and know how the public don't know) how the industry now is a highly complex mesh of independents, freelancers and the big old school broadcasters owning shares in the the independents.

Speaking out is very very difficult and cultural even outside of the creative areas.

I've been verbally abused and bullied on a number of occasions but know the game. The abusers are usually gone via a reshuffle in a couple of years.

I'm not for one minute comparing my experience with the victims here, but the industry has huge cultural problems regarding fear of speaking out. The procedures are all there, probably more than most industries but....

When I read "why didn't they say something at the time" it makes my blood boil.

Sorry, I was told it's better to come later.

 

[Wozza]

No, but that is the point.

How do you know how someone will react?

You think it's reasonable for a fully grown man to flash his dick at a colleague to see what reaction he gets?

The vast majority of us learn what's appropriate and what isn't in life and in the workplace.

Not sure why anyone would defend a sex pest.

Quite .

And also to not care what their victims’ reaction is.

 

[nickjhs]

There are eejits everywhere.

But it isn't a conspiracy.

I agree it's not a conspiracy it's is becoming normalised behaviour, to the point if you speak out about it you too, are guilty. With the Harry Potter bag nonsense said I would have sent her home and to come back when she had grown up. Nope that would not have been in any way acceptable, he had to waste a significant amount of time patiently explaining why the person could not be reprimanded.

Who is working freelance and has no-one to complain to. Not surprised the thinking is, sod this I'll get through to the end pay the bills and make sure I don't work for this person again .

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Tongue in cheek . Bit of that going on .

Interesting to see when videos released and police charge

Guilty via media at moment

You really think they would do it for 'fame'? When a certain section of society would take the side of good old Greg with two Gs Wallace and hound anyone who speaks out against him?

Yeah, that sounds appealing!

 

[The Clamp]

No it's not a conspiracy it's is becoming normalised

All the more reason to fully investigate

That is really not very relevant to the GW cases.

I recall while do my thing in a club one night a lady of a certain age singing loudly in my face "get into the groove" I just thought she like Madonna, I really feel she had other ideas now I think back.

No shit Sherlock. You never seen a thread have a few side threads grow out of it.

 

[Right Brain Ronnie]

Great story.

Thanks, I have more and guess what?

They are all true.

True and interesting are quite different things.

 

[Right Brain Ronnie]

True and interesting are quite different things.

They can be, but I'm sure I'd have something to arouse your interest.........can I say that?
It's so hard.....I mean....

So you've found the comments made to you to be inappropriate and they've made you feel harassed and uncomfortable? Report them to the police.

or do the people who said this stuff needs to be famous for me to gain any traction?

As a victim, I imagine you don't think you'll be taken seriously. But if you can, you should report any wrongdoing, as there are probably other victims like you who are also too scared to come forward.

Yes, but I think your tangent undermines what is being talked about.

You have an issue with cancellation / work / political correctness it's worthy of debate.

My personal issue with it is that don't waste your time trying to get people to use different words because that doesn't change how they think.

So I have sympathy and empathy but that debate shouldn't be taking place here.

It just feeds those who think the world has gone woke because apparently was OK in the 70s to ask a women to lick your #### in the workplace.

Sorry, I was told it's better to come later.

I think people would prefer it if you didn't come at all.
