I have never said this before because I despise the man, but I remember Andrew Tate from London’s nightlife. This photo reminded me. I ruled over those scenes, north, south, east, central and west, going to anything happening to find interesting people to bring to my own clubs. Tate was a regular on the tackier end of it all. He would turn up topless, sit in the corner and say hi, never once having a problem with someone like me. Had no problem with the Trans girlies and the gays. When he became famous for his far right clickbait antics, my first thought was that this was the guy who used to nod at me kindly across a club. There are photographs of him from those nights and I suspect some more of them will surface one day. Back then nobody had problems with anyone however the club scene was misogynistic and a playground for sex pests, I fended off many of them over the years for both myself and my friends. We all said hi and got on with the night… it was very ego driven, a hierarchy of who had the best tables and usually that was me. I still wonder what happened to him. Maybe he believed this stuff all along. Maybe years of hedonism curdled into something else. My own suspicion is that he realised he could clickbait the hell out of young men and old fools into paying him or being paid well by ads, then sold himself to himself and started believing the hype.. I’m glad the ba ll sac has been arrested and will face the charges. It’s so much worse than I thought.
