Siân Berry says gig contravenes ‘city’s well-renowned values’ amid sexual assault allegations against singer
Surprised this trash still gets offers to play.
‘city’s well-renowned values' Which Brighton is she thinking of? I do like this 90s christian outrage throwback though.
This is not because of his view on Christianity but because he's accused of serious sexual assaults. Christian or not, that's not cool.
Tough line to draw really.
The legal system is built on "innocent until proven guilty", so it's understandable why entire careers aren't brought to a halt because of one or more allegations of misconduct.
Problem is, how do we let that continue while listening to complainants, making them feel heard, and safeguarding future potential victims?
I'm not asking you in particular, you're just the comment I've replied to - it's one of those impossible situations to draw a line in the sand without fucking over one of the sides.
Oh, the church doesn't want the competition...
I agree that Brighton is the wrong place for this sort of thing. A tour of shopping centres in economically depressed areas would have been more appropriate, perhaps with some third-tier 90s boy/girl band most people have forgotten.
