David Walliams allegations: the predatory nature of an 'age gap' 2026-11-12 04:26

After the Russell Brand verdict and the allegations about David Walliams, James asks what the response says about how society treated these men. He also asks whether society is too comfortable with older men pursuing much younger women, and whether we should be more suspicious. Callers share their own experiences of relationships with much older men, including what they realised only years later. Walliams, who denies all the allegations, hasn't been charged and isn't being investigated by police. Then, to Kemi Badenoch's claim that double amputees run marathons and people with autism run tech companies, while arguing that telling young people with ADHD they're defective is more damaging than the condition. James asks whether it's toxic positivity or something worse. A neurodiversity specialist and the parent of a son with ADHD and autism call in with their own views.
