Yesterday, over 550,000 people read my post exposing the carefully managed PR statements hiding the David Walliams scandal. Today, the cowardice of the British media establishment has reached an entirely new level. Jonathan Ross just released a public statement claiming he is horrified by the allegations against Walliams and the crimes of Russell Brand. He actually expects the public to believe he spent two decades sharing green rooms and VIP parties with these men while remaining completely blind to their behavior. Look at the exact historical record they are trying to erase right now. In 2004, Ross stood on a live stage at the British Comedy Awards and explicitly joked that the 15-year-old award was drunk and probably going home with David Walliams. There is literally a photograph from 2003 showing Ross and other elite broadcasters smiling for the camera while Walliams sits right next to them with his arm draped around a teenager he is now accused of pursuing. You do not broadcast jokes about 15-year-olds going home with a television star to millions of viewers unless the entire industry already knows exactly what the punchline means. The British entertainment industry operated as a closed protection racket for twenty years. They turned predatory behavior into profitable television ratings and laughed off the abuse as cheeky celebrity banter. These presenters are not releasing statements today because they are shocked by what Walliams and Brand actually did. They are releasing them because the expensive legal injunctions are finally failing, and they are terrified the public is coming for the enablers next.
