TBH I thought it was just as likely to be Branson.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
He just looks like someone who would grope you in a bar.
Never heard anything about Branson aside from him being a prick and suing NHS.
Heard plenty of rumours about Green, ex was manager at a top shop and he was never shy with sleezy comments by all accounts.
Not surprising. Combined with the tax avoidance scandal a few years back, it’s probably time to revoke the knighthood
Virgin Atlantic was an account of mine, I knew some of the directors well and also went out with a girl from there. I won't say anything that gets Niall into trouble.
You're more than welcome to backbite through PM to me
Honestly, if I knew you well I might.You're more than welcome to backbite through PM to me
Fair enough. Certainly wouldn't be surprised.
He has issues, yes, but I'm beyond expecting companies to care about more than their bottom line.
What a shame.
I’ve heard the name. Isn’t he famous in America? Just when I thought this was dying down.
He’s my second least favourite science guy
such a good week for me.Brian Cox is intolerable isn’t he.
Quite famous, has a TV show and is regarded by the general public as a great thinker though quite a few of his peers have claimed he's a bit of a fraud. He's had a few allegations made against him before so this isn't really that surprising.
I've always thought he was in love with himself and his persona.
I think Tyson is great at what he does, he's never advertised himself as one of the world's greatest scientists, the MSM and lots of people on social media have just chosen to label him this way. He's very effective at getting the general population, especially young people interested in science, research and discovery and I think that's a good thing. I can understand why seasoned, well published physicists may fee his fame and wealth are undeserved but it would be a bit like a virtuoso pianist being angry at Britney Spears for being famous. It's just a product of how the world works.
IMO, neither of the new allegations described qualify as sexual assault. You could maybe argue sexual harassment but it would be a stretch for me. Clearly he acted like a creep but there's not a fireable offence and certainly nothing worthy of a criminal charge in there for me.

Yeah I thought he came across as a dickhead in interviews I seen of him
He's in love with the fame and adulation.
Nail on the head
I never knew other people hated Brian Cox. I feel like I finally found family. The smug, arrogant, smarmy condescending stupid cnut haircut cnut.
You shut your fckin mouth
Charges were dropped pretty quickly so unlikely to have been anything to the accusation.
Yeah. I'm a strong proponent of science, and especially educating science where possible - but for reason it's become fashionable for those in the field to become intolerably stuck-up and arrogant.
Well they are almost certainly smarter than 99.9% of the population.
I don't think they're particularly arrogant, and I really quite like Tyson (even went to Sydney last year to see him) - I just think that they are a little aloof. I thought he (Tyson) may have been on the spectrum when I first started watching him. But it's likely that he's just a little aloof due to his intelligence, as in he may find it hard to communicate in a general way, when not talking about his fields of expertise.
I love that he wants to share his knowledge, the studies, discoveries, etc. with the world and in particular the younger generation. The Cosmos shows were brilliant too.

Whoever gets paid to advise Kevin Spacey is having a bad year.
Ha, came to post exactly that.
That was some weird shit.
Actors really live in their own little world.

So weird.
Yep, bit weird.
"I know what you want" and "you loved it". Oh. Oh dear.

This coming the day after it was reported that he'll be charged for another sexual assault. Way to misread the mood of the room.
That's even bigger in creepyness than his usual level.
