Rupert couldn’t pass a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy because you wouldn’t even have to ask.
What is a boycott supposed to achieve? Usually, it is done to affect change, and I could understand if he was unrepentent about what he said, but he has already apologised. Can anyone here say they have never said something crass, offensive and stupid in their lifetime?
From the age of 7 he was educated at Farleigh School, Hampshire, and later was educated by Benedictine monks at Ampleforth College, Yorkshire, but he dropped out of school aged 15 and ran away to London to become an actor. In order to support himself, he worked as a male prostitute, or “rent boy”, for drugs and money as he later admitted to US magazine in 1997.[2] After being dismissed from the Central School of Speech and Drama for insubordination, he travelled to Scotland and got a job at the Citizens’ Theatre in Glasgow.
