Hugh Jass Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 1 minute ago, Matt42 said: Where does my statement mention the court case? The “we do not condone” comment makes reference to behaviour that was the subject of a police investigation/court case and would be considered legally as making comment as the band would undoubtedly be aware. Had Meighan pleaded not guilty then comments like “we do not condone” could influence any jury. Similarly an employer cannot fire an employee until after their court case is complete, or they have pleaded guilty. Doing so before is a breach of HR law. They would have been briefed by their legal and PR people in exactly what they could and could not say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigpusher Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 This all happened on 9th of April. Feels a little like Kasabian are more concerned about brand Kasabian than taking any moral stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand this view point but could they have actually commented on it if there was legal action taking place?

Sorry I’m not sure on different legislation on privacy in these cases But they didn't comment on it anyway they just waited until the day before he was clearly pleading guilty to try and disassociate him from them. I would understand more standing by a friend and sticking by them through thick and thin or ditching him immediately because of a moral objection to what they did but they have done the more cynical thing of not standing by a friend or having a moral stance.

Do you not see this as an issue though? Some pricks on twitter are just those who are confident enough to vocalise their views. Many will agree and not say anything. I would much rather identify conversations we should be having and target them head on rather than leave it be. Plus I can’t see why that example would be a problem unless the shoe fit?

CaledonianGonzo Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Will be interesting to see whether or not the band release any sort of follow up statement post sentencing, as I tend to agree they have adopted a bit of cake and eat it tactic here.
