Extreme example but my in law's grandmother had a gentleman friend after her husband passed, referred to as 'uncle' by the kids but not related. He was a nice enough man, had spent a lot of time in his younger years travelling about for work and lodging here and there. Recalled one place he was a lodger for a while, said the guy living there was a really nice fella. It was Fred West.

No my favourite is that he's a Labour councillor or even an MP, and Sir Keith and Yvette Cooper have told the police to stall while they figure out what to say about having another Mike Amesbury / Ricky Jones situation to deal with :D

That or they know he plans to claim "medical episode" or "out of character panic attack" and walk away, which they know the public won't be happy with having seen the videos of the car turning right into the crowds, so are being extremely precise about the charges in a bid to make sure it's not easy to claim those things.

Don't think it's anything to do with the skin colour stuff that people are desperately trying to reference and stir up one way or the other though.
It seemed like a tense situation before he drove into the crowd people are suspicious of any unusual activity around them regardless of who the perp is .it almost seemed like he was going to make a run for it when he opened the car door but then thought better of it when the crowd closed in? It could be the case it’s a genuine case of panic fleeing and not malicious, we’ll have to wait for the court case to be sure ( I’m not excusing his behaviour btw).

Oh Fred was a well liked guy - “bit of a character, hard working family man, loved his wife”. Yes he always made creepy and inappropriate jokes, but men got away with it in the 80s and 90s.

No need for it. As a nurse I appreciate gallows humour but this ain’t it 🤢 Even making a joke at the expense of the accused would be too soon. I honestly don’t know why someone would go out of their way to poke fun at something as horrible as this.

He has been cancelled before that particular head for a comment he made in the World Cup. I see this as his way of recreating that , his tour got cancelled after that comment as well.

He isn't at Ricky Gervais or Frankie Boyle level to do this 😬 and they wouldn't go there as it's not funny or acceptable when a child was knocked 15 feet from a car 😡

Our city doesn’t tolerate murderers or anything of the kind and never will, we look after our own.
i'm sorry, but this is a completely empty statement and totally contradictory.
if the city ( 🥴 ) looked after our own, it'd not have any murderers.

helpful context: i live here.

No city looks after it's own.

Society isn't made up that way anymore.

BIB

Two reasons spring to mind
A. Because he wants to play the victim when nasty online trolls get his gigs cancelled and
B. Because he is a tragic unfunny attention seeking bleep.

By his latest antics today where he has made an inflammatory post in response to the backlash to the original tweet and further insulting scousers Iwould say he's going out of his way now to appeal to Liverpool haters as a niche target audience.
The POS

Surely, a more reasoned response would be to stop the car and phone 999. Or even just permanent toot his horn until the bizzies arrive? Of course, he wouldn't want to do that if he was off his bits.
I read an eye witness report who described him as 'delirious:.

That would be a rational response it didn’t pan out that way for whatever reason 🤷🏼‍♀️

People can lead completely different lives behind doors to the persona they put on for neighbours/employees/family

He could be perfectly nice to Beryl across the road of a morning but behind his Ray-Bans is a massive come down from the night before

I recently found out an old boss of mine is an alcoholic and had been drinking in his office before driving me to meetings for 3 years. I had no idea and I’m no idiot when it comes to drink/drugs.

It’s easy to hide these things. It is possible this guys wife didn’t know he was like this
I hate to say it but this is why I trust no one anymore. The sad reality is ‘normal’ people do some of the scariest tit ever, they’re mostly just good at hiding it.

Businesses man also doesn’t mean white collar. Some of the biggest coke users I know run successful businesses - but are typically builders/plumbers/sparks. That could also be because I’m working class in a working class town and those are just the people I know best. Hopefully he’ll be charged today and we’ll learn more
Oh, local businessman is a euphemism.

I remember someone I knew worked with Cat A offenders. She said virtually nobody is a murderer; until they kill someone. So it’s all well and good banging on about how they didn’t seem like a murderer and were a lovely person etc. Doesn’t mean anything if they then one day murder someone.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. A few months ago I drove into my local city centre unaware that there was a huge football match on. The route I drove was very busy with people celebrating, there was a very big police presence (including mounted police) and the roads were not closed. Even so there were people spilling out into the road and the only way to safely navigate was to inch along very carefully. It felt claustrophobic and was a scary experience (especially as I had my kids with me), my heart was racing and my palms were sweaty. I can imagine easily panicking if I was off my bits and the situation I was in sounds much more controlled and less scary than Liverpool.

im not making excuses for him and I hope they throw the book at him. I can see how panic could happen
