  1. Its been burnt down :(
     
  2. Why dont they just arrest everyone in Telly from 1959 - 1995 and save the taxpayer a load of cash! Its quite shocking really! I suppose TV celebs were more revered then and maybe everyone thought they were godlike whilst today we dont care about celebs - well I dont anyway! You have to give credit to the victims to stand up and go over painful memories that have stayed with them for 4- years or so!

    But what the hell were the Police and other gov services doing about this - they must have know about some of it?

    I truly don't understand why it's taken until now for people to make the allegations.
    I'd imagine that for every true allegation there is also at least one untruthful one.

  4. a lot previously did but were disbelieved especially concerning saville. ranks close and it's the beebs golden gooses' word over a teenager. i think that the internet and immediate access to information, support services and social network has enabled people to realise that is was not only them it happened to. many victims will feel alone and blame themselves but as more people come forward they will feel safer and stronger in numbers.
     
  5. I think the most shocking for me so far has been Rolf Harris - he's an adopted national treasure (I know he's not been convicted, but just hearing he'd been arrested was a total shock). And how many more are going to come out of the woodwork....

  6. If you want to talk about national treasures, the Yewtree Bingo number we (the Yewtree Bingo players) are waiting for is "72 Surrey"
     
  7. Without DNA evidence I guess it will be very difficult to convict any of them!
     
  8. Good. Its an odious show. All soaps should be banned. Soaps to be replaced with funny shows. No soaps are not funny and watchers of soaps should be parodied, mocked and pointed at in the streets. Its the only way.

    I wholeheartedly agree.
     
  10. Why people wish to spend their TV watching time glued to the potrayal of the misfortune of others is beyond me. Isnt life cruel enough without people making stuff up? Burn them. Burn them all. Hwarh Hwarh Hwarh....excellent.

  14. ^this (or similar). Unless they confess, I can't see how they can convict them.

    Tickling stick. I rest my case :)

    I was under the impression that most of these charges are from investigation into old accusations which were filed away, brought on by the realisation of how much stuff was badly dealt with regarding Jimmy Saville. There were probably quite a few of these 'celebrities' who would have been chummy with the local Chief Constable and in those days it would have been quite easy just to tuck stuff away and forget it.
     
  20. Agreed Bern but there's also the possibility that some of these young girls were star struck and were out for one reason (a little bit of bragging rights to their girlfriends etc)

    I don't condone whats been done BUT these thing's aren't always black and white and consensual sex with a female who is believed to be over the age of consent is still rape (if she was indeed 15!) no matter if she was out looking for it!
    Think about it, Bill Roach would have been around 24 y.o. and relations with a teenager who may have been around 16-17 years of age would not have been unusual. He is after all known as Co*k Roach apparently!
