The controversial Andrew Tate has lost his most recent appeal against his continued detention in Romania for alleged human trafficking and organised crime. But despite his absence following his arrest, supporters have continued spreading his various messages.
The former kickboxer's ability to reach people should not be underestimated, with boys and men parroting his rhetoric and causing parents and teachers to raise concerns. While Tate identifies himself as apolitical, child safeguarding expert Michael Conroy told The Mirror "he has impact", which could end up influencing British politics.
Hope Not Hate conducted a recent study and found that 74 per cent of males aged 18 to 24 had consumed Tate in a form of media, with almost half viewing him in a positive light. This starkly contracts just nine per cent of women in the same demographic that viewed him as a positive figure - which further declines for 16 and 17-year-old females.
