![]() Or take Harris’s contemporary, Lemuel Haynes, the son of a White mother and a Black father. But his story is powerful enough to lift us all. He will always belong, first and foremost, to African Americans. Me and my friends thought it was all a bit gross.Think of Joseph Harris, an enslaved harbor pilot in Hampton, Va., who escaped to the British during the summer of 1775 and then rescued two Royal Navy captains in two months. The age of consent in the UK IS 16 BUT I was easily one of the oldest there and most of the bras came from people noticeably younger than myself. I was only 16 but even so, I felt grossed out as the venue was meant to be 14+ but no one checked so there were easily 12 year olds there. Alex and Jack then hung them on their mic stands.Ī few had phone numbers on and Jack joked he'd be calling those numbers later - that joke feels quite sinister now. Loads of girls took off their bras and threw them on stage. Halfway though I vividly remember lots of bras were thrown on stage and Alex and Jack said we should all throw bras at who we thought was the hottest to have a competition. Even so, I assumed it wasn't encouraged by the band in their 20s given most people there were 14-16 but happened anyway so that's why they made it a charity thing. Before the show I knew it was a "thing" and was told (I never checked this) that they made donations to charity for each bra. I saw them play in the UK in 2009 when I was 16 and I was disgusted by their behaviour with regards to bra throwing. I don’t want to seem like I’m one of those “it didn’t happen to me therefore it didn’t happen”, but cancel culture is so fucking toxic and I think we need some backup to these claims before we stop supporting a group entirely, especially when half of the members seem to be completely innocent. Bras on stage shouldn’t even be addressed, because I went to those shows, and by no means were any underage girls being told to strip. However, I think a lot of the claims are probably horseshit, or people tagging on because they saw others doing it. Alex I know nothing about, other than some current ongoing drama in his personal life (I have mutual friends with his family, and he’s no saint). Did he know I was underage? I don’t know, and I certainly didn’t correct him. I personally, had my boobs commented on multiple times by jack between 14-17. ![]() Listen, we all know that band members are, in a lot of cases, not great people, especially when they rise to fame on their sex appeal to teens.
