Gregg (Double G) Wallace Allegations…

Interesting though. If a woman/celebrity reads up on the past threads and notices that her name was mentioned in the same sentence as having her "back doors smashed in", would we expect a knock on the door from the police?

It was used a lot for a particularly famous Geordie girl-band member as I recall. She won’t read this board will she (not our rivals). Everyone relax.
 
This is probably the least surprising thing ever. How on earth did the BBC let the man not only continue on Master Chef, but let him do other TV shows too?
 
There’s been changes to the equalities act that came into force last month. They are aimed at prevention, I reckon Greg is the poster boy for the new rules.

Society has changed massively in the last ten to fifteen years. I’m not sure I’ma fan of applying today’s rules to things people have said 10+ years ago.

When I started work in the late 90’s a big group of blokes went out all day at Christmas. Part of that was discussing the best looking girls in the office and ranking them. Everyone knew this happened (including the girls), but that type of talk was never acceptable in the office.

I don’t think it’s ever been acceptable to act the way Wallace allegedly has. What has probably changed is men realising their behaviour impacts most women in ways they never acknowledged.

Should those blokes be named and shamed on social media today and lose their careers over it?

I think the Richard Keys and Andy Gray stuff all those years ago was a little bit of a turning point where some men realised wow if they get sacked for saying that maybe I should not say stuff like that in public.

The point is the conversation wasn’t in front of women, where it would without doubt cause offence and not be right.

It also can’t be compared to Wallace, who is in a very privileged position. He should know better and his behaviour should have been called out years ago.
