Yes she would be, when she didn’t get what she wanted or expected from him.
This is the trouble with some women and particularly younger naive women. They will fuck a man straight away and automatically think that because she’s given him sex that he is obligated to her in some way.
She’s looking for a relationship and thinks sex might secure one, while he was looking for no more than a good time.
And when no relationship evolves from it, they are fking furious, will say that he used her for sex and bad mouth him to anyone that’ll listen.
And when a celebrity is involved, well……..she knows she can stir up a hornets nest
Women know, how women think.

Rowan Atkinson barely says a word, yet somehow ends up being the funniest person in the room.
The two hosts spend the introduction congratulating Reverend Sebastian on a speech they've practically delivered themselves. Every joke gets explained, every clever point gets revealed, and they even manage to spoil the ending while insisting they wouldn't dream of spoiling it.
What makes this brilliant is the contrast. Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie are completely comfortable with their own performance, while Rowan Atkinson's silence says everything.
Sometimes the best comedy isn't what someone says. It's what they're forced to sit through.

Justice for Austin Payne:
A few days ago, Austin Payne, a 15-year-old White boy in Georgia, was hunted, shot, and left to die in an abandoned apartment by four black teen males. He called his mom after being attacked and shot, telling her he was dying. She found his body the next morning after searching all night for him.
Charged with his murder: Jansquincey Donaldson, 15; Omari Marion, 15; Adarious Wallace, 16; Detravion Parker, 22. National media has been completely silent. If four White teens had done this to a Black kid, it would dominate cable news for days. Instead, silence.
They covered the Nolan Wells case wall-to-wall for a drowning. Yet this kid was hunted like an animal and brutally murdered, and because his skin is White, his story will never be told.

Every day now is filled with phone calls from finders of out-in-the-day hedgehogs. And they are all saying the same thing: "We brought him in, put him in a box and gave him food, he was starving."
They don't realise, but these sweet kind people have just sealed this hedgehog's fate.
Please NEVER feed a daytime wildlife casualty.
I know, it's so hard not to.
When we see a suffering animal we feel a strong, innate impulse to help, and a desire to provide immediate tangible comfort; equating food with survival and care.
Feeding feels like a direct, immediate and nurturing action to alleviate suffering.
Yet it is the most catastrophically harmful thing you could ever do.
Especially hedgehogs out in the day, who will be hypothermic.
It takes a lot of energy to digest food, energy these compromised animals just don't have spare.
Every last bit of their energy is being used to maintain vital bodily functions - to keep the heart beating, to oxygenate the organs.
Forcing energy away from these critical functions for something as non-critical as digesting food will be a death sentence.
It won't be immediate, it may take hours, or a couple of days, but eventually, no matter what the experienced rescue you later take them to tries, the animal is already on the unstoppable journey into shock, organ failure and death.
It's tragic for the casualty and heartbreaking for the rescues.
So please help in the right way.
An out-in-the-day hedgehog needs *contact* warmth, a safe indoor space away from flies, and cover to reduce their stress (please see advice below).
They are not going to die of starvation in the couple of hours between you finding them, and getting them to a rescue.😊
And please remember - any website that gives you DIY information on caring for or feeding injured or orphaned wildlife is, by default, wrong.
The ONLY right action is to get them to a good rescue (never a vet) where their complex needs can be met.
Even if you have seen this vital information before and understand it, feeding wildlife casualties is a powerful compulsion because it directly activates human instincts of empathy and compassion, often overriding the scientific advice against it.
So please remember this warning and spread it as far as you can.
Helping a wildlife casualty get to the expert treatment they need is an incredibly kind, altruistic act of great humanity.
Just remember to provide them with what they need, not what you need.🥰
To all those men jeering #RussellBrand just a little reminder that there is nothing to prevent this happening to YOU in the future.
You don't need to rape a woman for her to accuse you of rape.
She can accuse you decades after she says it happened without time limitation when those offering you an alibi may be dead.
Your accuser can stay anonymous whilst your name will be publicised. No evidence is required other than her testimony and that of her nearest and dearest to send you to jail for a very long time.
Your barrister may soon be unable to cross-examine your accuser in any meaningful way so she 'doesn't feel put on trial'. The accuser may be referred to as 'the victim' long before the trial has finished.
The process can take years. You may lose your job, income and your family willl suffer even if you're eventually found innocent.
And you think it's a joke?!
We have entered dystopian territory.

🚨 Russell Brand is sitting in a cell tonight over claims from up to 22 years ago.
Look at what actually happened.
He faced 7 charges from six women, dating back as far as 1999.
The jury threw out three of them, including two of the three rape counts.
He denied every single one.
What's left are accounts from 2004 to 2009 that nobody took to police at the time.
How does anyone defend themselves against a night from two decades ago?
Memories fade, witnesses scatter, and texts and records disappear.
It ends up being one person's word against another's, in front of a jury that already knows him as the guy the media spent years tearing apart.
And this started only AFTER Brand left the mainstream, started questioning the establishment, and built a huge independent audience.
Coincidence?
If this can happen to him, it can happen to anyone the system decides it doesn't like.
He deserves a full appeal. 🇺🇸

🚨Look at the numbers from this midterm and tell me how this makes any sense.
🔴Republicans: Went from 54.2 million in 2022 to 55.6 million in 2026—a modest net increase of 1.4 million votes.
🔵Democrats: Jumped from 51.3 million in 2022 to roughly 70 million in 2026—an astronomical net increase of 19 million votes in a midterm election.
When 19 million more Democrats suddenly show up out of nowhere while Republican turnout remains steady, it defies reality.
When can we stop calling this a "blue tsunami" and start calling it fraud?

The Crown vs Russell Brand
I've spent the last couple of days thinking through all sides in this matter. And I do have a personal conflict of interest that could be said, sways my opinion - but I have painstakingly tried to assess this as objectively as possible.
Where I think this case is most unfair, is that the accuser gets to stay anonymous.
If a person is going to make allegations that we are to believe, allegations that have the potential to put Brand behind bars for over a decade of his life, then she should be made to face him and front court too - without the vale of anonymity.
Why is she given anonymity? What are the reasons?
So she's not shamed, right? Yet, that's just it - she should feel ashamed for her part in this. She should feel very, bloody ashamed for her own behaviour. And getting to escape all personal responsibility and putting the blame on someone else, means this trial is simply, not fair. It's not weighted equally and it sets a very bad precedent for all other 'He Said/She Said' matters in the past and in the future.

She admitted that w/in moments of meeting RB backstage, she used her tongue on his anus (as another woman was fellating him). She hadn’t even been introduced. Later she went to his place excited for sex (which they had). The two discussed anal sex b/4 hvg it - she said it was her 1st time. Her friend testified that the accuser admitted to her that she agreed to it (told RB “be gentle”). RB testified they watched tv together after.
When a reporter first contacted accuser about RB she said “I’m not sure my story has much in it; I was an idiot, young & stupid, probably as much to blame.”

Forget all the huge supermarkets and their mawkish Christmas adverts, this was the best Christmas advert - Enniskillen pub Charlie's put out this advert back in 2023. It’s brilliant.

My Welsh grandparents used to keep my sister and I happy with bottles of pop (from the pop man’s van), walks in nature, putting my grandfather’s white hair in bunches (patiently borne) and generally the incredible warmth of being in the small home (cobwebby outside toilet for many years) of two people who gave us such unconditional love.
How rich we felt in their love.
I hate the John Lewis advert - ugly, materialistic, totally not getting the magic of grandparents.

Shabana Mahmood has been humiliated.
She talked the talk on migration but under pressure from Labour minsters, she’s backed down.
Andy Burnham didn’t support her.
Her u-turn will let hundreds of thousands of migrants get Indefinite Leave to Remain.
She knows this policy is a disaster. That’s why she wanted a tougher one.
When I was faced with the same problem — as Rishi Sunak, under pressure from Tory wets failed to stop the boats — I resigned.
Because in the end, politics isn’t about having a job, it’s about doing one.
Instead Andy Burnham and Shabana Mahmood have set us on a path to a permanently changed country.
It’s a mistake we will rue for generations to come.
Unless Reform UK are elected and reverse it.

Disappointed to see that the Royal British Legion is standing by the rainbow flag poppy.
The pride flag is extremely political and its agenda should not be anywhere near the remembrance of the fallen.
To say it’s an insult is an understatement.

Andy Burnham says, in a new Guardian opinion piece, that he is “open to” the “calls for a formal apology on behalf of the British state” for the transatlantic slave trade which began almost HALF A MILLENNIUM ago.
This would be like someone in the year 2526 having to apologise for heinous acts conducted today. It is ridiculous.
It goes without saying that the transatlantic slave trade was an awful part of global history. But it is also a part of history for which we have already atoned, multiple times over, as one of the world’s pioneers in abolishing the slave trade and indeed policing, through our West Africa Squadron and others – an endeavour that cost up to 2% of Britain’s GDP every year for decades to come.
Now think about all the aid money we have supplied across the world since. Billions upon billions. And lest we forget the lives Britain has put on the line over the centuries since: our own people, who sacrificed everything, to keep the free world free.
This is a time of year we remember those sacrifices instead of grovelling to anyone who demands it over something of which no Briton alive played any part.
Yet Burnham is still “open” to making humiliating public pronouncements on Britain’s behalf. I say no. I say enough.
One of the biggest problems we face today is that we are no longer a forward-looking nation. We only ever seem to lament our past, or condemn those who came before us. I cannot abide it any longer. Britain is exceptional. We are a moral force in the world. We have given so much, and sacrificed for centuries.
It is now time to put the Britsh people first, instead of caving to every demand that we get on our knees.

A wander in London yesterday. Stood in the third world looking towards the developed world. I took my brother, his wife and their two teenage sons on a lovely tour of London. They live in a beautiful house, in a beautiful village in the countryside in England. I thought it would be interesting to take them for a walk along the whole length of Whitechapel Road. They were shocked. Sure, they knew it wouldn’t be an English location, but they were shocked that it is only Muslim. Most women wore full burqas. There are almost zero white people and zero people who aren’t Muslim and very committed Muslims at that. There is zero diversity. There is full diversity in the way the Labour Party mean it though: the eradication of white people. Whitechapel has always been a melting pot of different cultures, but now it is only Muslim. No other culture exists there. I took my brother and his family to many beautiful places across London, but I did think it was necessary to take them here. I think everyone from England should walk this street and realise what is coming to their towns and villages very soon as the Muslim Home Secretary works as hard and fast as possible to import millions more Muslims who hate us and our way of life. Anyway, it was a lovely sunny day and we saw lots of wonderful places that white British people created.

Thomas Sowell: ”If you’re going to have reparations for slavery, it’s going to be the greatest transfer of wealth back and forth, because the number of Whites who were enslaved in North Africa by the Barbary Pirates exceeded the number of Africans enslaved in the United States.”

Slavery was an evil in which people from every continent and region participated. We should be honest about the whole history, not select the parts that are politically convenient today, especially given Britain's leading role in ending the transatlantic slave trade.
If Caribbean countries are asking Britain for a formal apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, will they also be asking the same of the descendants of African kingdoms, rulers and merchants who captured, sold and profited from the trade?
On demands for reparations, whether through cash or debt relief, we have been down this track before. Twenty-five years ago, Jubilee 2000, Drop the Debt and Make Poverty History argued that cancelling the debts of poorer countries would give them a fresh start. More than $100 billion of debt was eventually written off, but many of those countries have since built up even bigger debts. Labour are already spending too much on Britain's welfare state, now is not the time for Andy Burnham to be providing global welfare.
There is no reason British taxpayers today should be held financially responsible for things that happened generations before any of us were born. And I have even less patience for political elites in commonwealth countries who don’t know how to make their own citizens prosperous now looking for another opportunity to blame Britain.
As Prime Minister, Andy Burnham should be Britain’s greatest defender. Instead, he is writing articles saying we need to confront our history (as if we haven't done enough of that) and considering another formal historical apology. Tony Blair already expressed Britain’s deep sorrow and regret for our role in the slave trade nearly twenty years ago. There is no need to do so again.
This is all another navel-gazing distraction. The Commonwealth should be looking forward, not endlessly backwards. That means economic partnerships to make us all richer and deeper military and security cooperation against common threats. If every Commonwealth summit becomes an exercise in presenting Britain with demands for cash then we need to start asking if it is worth the effort.
