  1. > after the attack, Mr Tate sent her disturbing text messages and voice notes about rape and sexual violence. “Am I a bad person? Because the more you didn’t like it, the more I enjoyed it,” he said in a voice note. In a text he wrote: “I love raping you.”

    I’m baffled as to why these two have been in and out of prison and under house arrest for so long but never been actually charged. Seems like an open and shut case?

    It’s not surprising. He’s been despicable for years, he was ejected from Big Brother in 2016 due to violence against women. Christ knows why he’s so popular amongst young men.

  3. The thing that these comments generally are most revealing of is why this man is able to appeal to so many people. The Tate message isn’t like the Tommy Robinson message. It’s not a message that everything is someone else’s fault. It’s misogynistic and hateful, but it’s a message of personal responsibility that builds on the Jordan Peterson radicalisation pipeline

    The problem here is twofold, firstly, that there are very few figures preaching a similarly convincing message on the Left. Secondly that there are specific grievances and issues that these people have that aren’t being addressed in the mainstream. That’s how he hooks them. And that’s why he spends a lot of time talking about the work men need to do and the genuine problems facing young men

    Yes, Andrew Tate is ghastly, but if you can’t understand why people find him appealing, the chances are you don’t know enough about the message
