Andrew Tate has already been tried and sentenced in the court of public opinion. The actual courts are still waiting their turn.

Commentators will rush to declare him either a martyr or a monster. Both reactions miss the only point that actually matters.

Radha Stirling expresses her condolences to Marcus Fakana's family and her gratitude that so many have returned safely for Christmas this year.
