No, sweetheart. I'm not 'excusing the assault and false imprisonment of a rent boy'. I'm trying to explain to you in simple English why Boy George still has a career (if you can call it that) following his conviction for false imprisonment.
I didn't say that I don't give a fuck about prostitutes (I don't, really. But that's besides the point). I said that 'nobody' gives a fuck about prostitutes. That's 'nobody' in the figurative sense - you know, like 'nobody' likes Prufrock, although I'm sure one or two people actually do.
'Nobody' is being used in the context of the public as a whole, who (let's be honest) don't have the same kind of record for speaking up for the rights of prostitutes as they have for campaigning for race/gender/sexual equality. Therefore, Boy George - who was hardly a public figure in 2009 to begin with - getting put away for doing a shitload of coke and handcuffing a prostitute to a radiator isn't going to accumulate anywhere near the same kind of Social Media notoriety as that nasty gay Huw Edwards looking for a bit of completely legal homosexual company, is it? Are you still keeping up? Hope so!
Bit of a weird take to presume I'm pretending to be a 'good guy' by suggesting that there will be significantly less outcry to Russell Brand being a pred because his victims are female. Why does that make me a 'good guy'?
I've genuinely no idea who the fuck Tony Hayers, actually is. But the fact that you're so triggered by him probably isn't the most reliable indication that he's all that awul, let's be honest. Okay, that's a lie. I know he's an Alan Partridge character and that you really, really hate him, but that's about it.

Wow. What a comeback. Totally convincing. You win the argument.
Why don’t you toast your victory with a pint of lager, a small Baileys and a gin and tonic?
Anyway, I thought your lot called them ‘sex workers’, not prostitutes.

'Sarcasm is a thinly veiled attempt to disguise feelings of anger, fear, or hurt. It can be a means of diminishing feelings of vulnerability that may be experienced in the willingness to acknowledge the underlying feelings.'
