"Redirect Notice"š¬
Thanks lucy. Itās a bbc link, Iād already chopped out the amp but didnāt notice the redirect
Unfortunately I believe both of them are currently in Romania/US at the moment. The UK may have brought charges against them, but they seem to have pretty much escaped prosecution in Romania and have found Asylum in the US under the current government. Itās unlikely that either Tates step back into the UK.
Actually I believe I saw recently that Romania agreed to extradite them to the UK. I donāt remember the source though, so take that with a grain of salt.
They have agreed, but they must face their charges in Romania first. I donāt know if that means they serve their sentences and are then extradited or what.
Yep US will likely protect him. Good news is that thereās no statute of limitations on these crimes so theyāll never go away.
I donāt think theyāre still in the US.
Other commenter said they may have asylum there, and last news I can find in Feb says theyāre there. Only had a quick look though
Apologies, I didnāt mean the legal definition of pf Asylum. The Tate brothers are both American citizens, but theyāre definitely leaning on the current political climate in the US to avoid consequences
Yes I agree
Yeah Iām not an expert on the Tate brothers and Iām not going to search them up.
IIRC they were in Romania and when the Trump admin landed in January the brothers some how got special leave to travel on the proviso they returned for their hearings later. They went to Florida thinking that they would get looked after by the Trump admin, but it didnāt go very well and the governor of Florida was threatening charges in the US.
So to my knowledge there was no formal āasylumā but they were banking on their ideology aligning with Trumps.
Ideology aligning with Trumps is a great way of putting it. Itās music to Trumps ears
Isnāt there a warrant for their arrest in Florida? I believe they were there for two nights and on one of these nights he raped someone. I think he went back to Romania to escape US jail.
He returned because he was legally obligated to return
I mean, heās also legally obligated not to rape people but that doesnāt seem to bother him.
Yeah but if Trump was going to give them succour itās not very likely they would voluntarily go back to Romania.
I donāt know much about them.
From reading headlines here on Lemmy I know the Florida governor was threatening charges but IDK what really happened. My impression was that they were expecting support from the Trump admin but it didnāt really materialise and the US wasnāt the safe harbour they had hoped for.
G O O D
I look forward to the day I never hear about this guy again.
Whatās shameful is Spotify is still allowing some of Andrew Tateās content. If you have a Spotify account please consider contacting Spotify and send them a message saying you want Andrew Tate completely removed, want Spotify to stop funding Joe Rogan and demand a feature to block podcasts the same way you can block artists for songs. Also maybe consider ending your Spotify subscription. When you cancel your subscription you will be prompted to explain why youāre canceling. Itās crucial to fill you the reason. Say youāre canceling because you donāt like Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan.
Mate this is brilliant! I had no idea. Can I share your comment?
Also congratulations on your downvotes! Youāre annoying the right people
Of course you can!
Great thanks š
I always wonder if the people silently downvoting helpful comments like that know their downvotes are technically public, like anything you post on lemmy, if youāre using the right tool to look at a post.
I donāt think itās a good idea to do callouts over it or even block people over a single downvote; god knows I fat finger upvotes all the time, and the only reason I donāt do the same for downvotes is Blahaj has them turned off. But boy does it validate my blocking instincts when I peek and itās someone Iāve already blocked.
I know itās not for everyone, but for me I feel like buying music I like directly from the artist/label or via bandcamp has been a better experience. Now I have a library of DRM free music, and I know the musicians got a better cut.
Totally agree here, another good reason to cancel your Spotify account.
Doing your username proud.
My only regret is that I canāt boycott Spotify again.
I went the next step and use xmanager to basically pirate premium Spotify, so now Iām also costing them money.
They also host Peterson so I donāt think they care
Theyāre fine with being a wanker and misinformation but theyāll draw the line at trafficking children for rape and sex workā¦.maybe. If you apply some pressure.
Spotify paid ridiculous sums of money, specifically to get Joe Rogan.
They absolutely do not care about complaints about tate.
Not to say you shouldnāt try, you should, just that itās screaming into the void until the monetary price of continuing support is greater than at least some combination of sunk cost + potential profit. ( so $250m + whatever their profit projections are ).
I think they will care about complaints of convicted human traffickers.
But I agree theyāre not getting rid of Rogan.
I would lay money on them not giving a single solitary fuck unless it affects their bottom line somehow.
Then complain to Spotify advertisers, works on Fox News all the time.
Sure, enough pressure from the ad execs would bring about change, probably.
I just wanted to point out that they arenāt working with a moral or ethical baseline, only money.
And I wanted to point out working with a moral or ethical baseline is what makes entertainment industry capable of producing their profits, for all the good and bad that comes with.
I donāt exactly disagree, but i think my stance is that the money is the reason and the morals/ethics are a byproduct of having to do what it takes to get that money, in certain markets.
Iām sick of seeing his name.
Ah thanks mate I didnāt know. Edited now
This piece of shit should never get out of jail.

THe more I read about this guy, the more I donāt like him.
The more I read about him the less I want to read about him.
Add another one for the ugly fucking tailoring job on that suit.
Bro the world was so much better when he became irrelevant after he got bagged, then adolescence came out (great show btw) and people started mentioning his name again, for no FUCKING reason, the 12 y/o boy in the tv show got bagged for murder not fucking human trafficking or rape, genuinely absolutely no human being of any value wanted to hear his name uttered again (ik it tackled the issues of mysoginy and reh teh teh but genuinely everyone stopped caring about him)
Heās a pathetic little attention whore and itās never been more evident since he fell back into obscurity heās been so desperately doing increasingly more pathetic things for even a fraction of the attention he used to get. The clips that have surfaced of him in the past year or so are so cringe and embarrassing, cuz heās trynna gain attention and failing, making it even more embarassing.
His name got rinsed by social media and then everyone forgot about him. This bruddas more whorish than any woman heās ever referred to.
Twenty-one offenses? Come on, Andrew Taint is more offensive than that!
Donāt worry, he can still be president with a record like that!
š¤¢š¤®
US about to declare war on the UK to protect their own shitstain
Heās a citizen of both countries, heās as much British as he is American.
Can anyone tell me more about the Crown Prosecution Service, and UK criminal courts in general?
Tap for spoiler
I try not to get hopeful about this stuff, knowing that heād be getting a pardon if it were an American courtā¦ thankful itās not, but I hope UK has better processesā¦
Yes mate, any specific questions?
On a scale of 1-10, how hard did you find Lady Butterfly to beat for the first time?
I have the strength of 1000 butterflies so can beat any other insects
Would you say your opponents feel the sting of the monarch?
They do indeed, and once stung they just buzz off.
well, for startersā¦ what is the crown Prosecution service?
does anyone involved have pardon powers? how about extradition authority?
OK so IANAL but I do know a little bit about this.
The CPS are national government prosecutors. If a case is a minor offence (or thereās absolutely no proof at all) police can decide if thereās evidence for it to go to court, otherwise CPS do. CPS then manage the case (eg tell police to do other enquiries), and then the CPS present the case in court.
With it being high profile realistically a fuckton of work will have been done and senior CPS will be involved. Theyāll push this case HARD and be really thorough cos staff need to cover their arse. You might find the CPS charging code useful, it shows how they handle each offence.
I did some digging and it looks like extradition is fiddly and requires judges (see here). Some countries dont play well with the UK, some do. Itās messy cos heās not in the UK so youāre dealing with another countries laws, policies and politics. That side I donāt know about.
I really donāt see anyone in the UK pardoning him for this. Nobody will risk their career, and I donāt know if theyād legally be allowed to pardon for multiple awful offences. If heās helped out of it, itāll be behind the scenes game of thrones maneuveres. Eg someone finds a procedural issue with the case, and a judge is influenced into saying the issue makes the case unlawful and has to be dropped. Itāll be unprovable, untraceable, invisible help.
So things donāt look good for Tate right now. That could change but right now, heās proper in the shit.
Farage would.
Heād like to, but heād be hung out to dry too much. Heās too famous and Iām not sure Farage would risk his career for it
How is this motherfucker not serving prison time already?
Because Trump pressured Romania to let him out and he fled the country. Now a different court has to start all over with a different case.
Edit: the article says he returned to Romania to face the charges, as a show of bravado to claim that innocent men donāt run. The UK prosecution said āthe domestic criminal matters in Romania must be settled firstā.
Romanian prison is basically like not being in jail in a lot of ways, theyāre allowed to have their phones and full internet access, theyāre can come and go under specific charges etc
Soā¦ charged not convicted ?
Yep charged, so weāll have to see if heās convicted
āRape, and actual bodily harmā wtf UK rape is actual bodily harmā¦ the language choices around sexual assault in the UK is so problematic
I know itās a bizarre phrase. ABH is a physical assault its not sexual.
Not problematic, its legal language that cares more about facts and less about your feelies.
Ewwwwwwwwww. Bro. Fuck off with your casual misogyny
Fuck off with the casual dumb accusations?
Legal language doesnāt care about your feelings, it cares about facts. Itās the thing that ensures that youāre not in jail for a murder you didnāt commit?
If you think that is misogyny then you need to get therapy
But thatās not what you said. You canāt retcon the past itās literally right above you.
Lol.
10 bucks say that when he gets convicted, heāll just claim it was all lies and that heās a poor innocent sweetie being locked up under false pretenses
I hope to God heās poor when/if heās released.
Andrew Tits.
