Someone mentioned in another thread that some airlines require fight attendants to hand back any uniform if they leave the company or need a new one.

Mainly for security, but also to stop fetish creeps wearing them.

Most companies have this as a policy if they issue a branded uniform.

It rarely gets followed up though because it costs more than the uniform is worth to chase that poo poo up.

After acting as MC at two Milo Yiannopoulos events, Andrew Bolt says some of the things the far-right provocateur had to say were “terrible” and he considered walking out.

Speaking to Steve Price on 3AW last night Bolt said he found Yiannopoulos to be a different person onstage and off.

“He’s got some good things to say about gender politics and free speech,” he said.

“I thought some of the rudeness, the vitriol, was nasty and I didn’t like it.

“He said Muslim asylum seekers were skilled at only a few things, including raping women.

“I thought those things were terrible, dreadful.”

“First I thought, do I walk out?” Bolt said.

But he said he decided to stay and go onstage to confront Yiannopoulos about his views.

I'm really not surprised by Bolt seeming halfway reasonable in the current climate, with the overton window being stretched out by a screaming pack of assholes, even archconservatives seem moderate. And I'd consider Bolt a true conservative, when he's not being fed whatever narrative suits Rupert that day.

But also that's the thing - Dutton, Morrison, Bernardi, Abetz, Abbott, Andrews and Hastie aren't loving conservatives. They're right wing fundies, with all the christofascist baggage that comes along with that. The racism is mostly just dogwhistling for votes, but the hardcore assault on Islam comes from the fact that they consider their personal religious views to be more significant than individual freedoms / democracy.

Actually he was caught with porn, it wasn't specifically stated as childporn - I think it's more likely it was of adults - pedophiles can still be sexually attracted to adults too. I think the mainstream media has been glossing over that fact by just headlines of "paedophile caught with porn" to make people come to the wrong conclusion. The charges were around talking about finding children hot, which while gross and creepy isn't really illegal.

He had been seeking counselling with mental health experts for close to a decade by now, and apparently only had those conversations while drunk and mentally weak. So besides those conversations, he was sorta an upstanding citizen on "has not molested any children" besides having the sexual attraction to be prompted to do it.

I feel the outrage/witchhunt by the wider public for "paedos who got off lightly" is actually going to drive more people with those urges underground than seek help, which will lead to more kids being molested and raped. Ben's career and reputation (ignoring the fact he worked as a lovely journalist at A Current Affair) is already in complete tatters yet there's no proof he either raped or molested young children or has images or shared such images depicting child porn.

My understanding is that the child porn charges stem from stories he had written. He didn’t have any child porn featuring actual children.
