    What Poptop says. Is it me or is this historic crimes all just becoming "normal" now as we start to become desensitised to it because its never ending?? It's almost like we are saying "oh he was at it too "tut" "
     
  7. Said it before, but I wonder how they're going to prove all these allegations.
     
  8. i'm pleased that we've finally reached the stage in society where rape and sexual abuse are taken seriously. historically it wasn't, which is why i presume all these are coming out now.
    unfortunately they are getting a lot more media attention than the historical systematic sexual abuse in childrens homes.
     
  9. i think those skeletons will be locked firmly away - at least until they're dead. cyril smith - well known abuser but nothing came out publicly until he died. too many of them were protected by what they have on others, but once dead the Marmite can be liberally served up without fear of reprisal. sickening. so many women and children disbelieved because of the social/political power/influence of the abuser.
     
  10. Agreed however it appears they are linked according to some reports I mean Jimmy Saville used to pray on them in there didn't he - Makes me sick when I hear about this.
     
  11. Witchunt...........Yes. There has also been talk of compensation so i'll let everyone draw their own conclusions from that. The thing is now, it's getting such a regular occurance that the operation is losing it's credability. Anyone can say anything nowadays about anyone and the police have to investigate it.
    Jimmy Saville probablly fixed it for a few but nowhere near the volume alledged. Rolf Harris.........................please !!!!! I laughed so much when I heard that, not funny, I know. Poor old Rolf's gone home now and taken his wobbleboard with him. A great loss.
    But Saville was right what he said when speaking of Gary Glitter, "If you're a celebrity, they'll get yer, anyone else they're not bothered with", It makes news.
    Pete the bummer from Witney isn't newsworthy. :(
     
  12. indeed. i'm still *shocked that his propensity for children wasn't picked up by palace security as he was so familiar with the royals.

    *i'm not. corrupt b*****ds.

    i was covered in sticky stuff down below - it smelled too ! o_O
     
  16. perhaps the other side of the coin is that the witch hunt began long ago when 'celebrities' realised that their word was more credible against a victims accusation of abuse? this put them in a very powerful position knowing that you can 'get away with it'. As public figures they are automatically in a position of power and as such have a responsibility to use and not abuse that power, like teachers. grooming can take place anywhere.

    the media hype, imho, is largely due to the tabloids *spits* and you'll also notice a 'witch hunt' against the bbc (making them responsible for the clebs who work for them) from many murdoch papers. this *may have something to do with murdoch's bid for monopoly of tv and not have a publically funded channel? (cynical? me?)
    i guess i look at it from an empathetic point of view - if that was my mum, sister, me etc who was abused but not believed....

    *bet it does!

  18. I would guess that it will be rock and pop stars next.

    There was a documentary a few years back with a famous music producer, (name forgotten), who was sent to prison for this. His excuse was that it was a "different world" back then and hinted that it was "accepted" amongst people.

    Didn't one of the Rolling Stones have an under-age girlfriend? Also there is the story of Keith Moon jumping out of the tour bus naked and running around a group of school girls.
