No suprise, he make half a career out of heavy rhythmic breathing

I always thought that ‘Tie me kangaroo down’ had a slightly suspicious air…

This some kind of new variant on Godwin’s Law?
😆
Could well be a similar trend… 😆

We could call it Goodmans Law.. 😉

“I grew up in the belief that sex
was dirty. It was spoken of only
behind the boy’s lavatory at school
or written with chalk on a wall.

“I can remember getting a hiding
from my mother when I was about
four for doing a super drawing
of a man with no clothes on –
he was standing there absolutely
naked and urinating – and my
mother didn’t like it.

“When I was ten or 11 my mother
decided I should see her naked
to let me know it was all natural
and everything – and we had baths
together. But it was too late by
then. It just used to embarrass me.

“Then my mum brought me a book about
what any young boy should know and
she stayed in the room while I tried
to read it, but I was just too
embarrassed and couldn’t wait
to get out of that room.”

– Rolf Harris, TV Times, c1974

G4S a tabloid non-story. They are providing civilian investigators, so thank Winsor Report and current government for the cuts that make that necessary. The criteria for recruitment into the role mean only retired detectives with relevant experience are getting employed. Oh the ironing.

Not ironic at all (in the definitive sense of the word, it’s not an unexpected event).

Experienced person quits, and becomes a consultant. The original compnay benefits by being able to call on that experience on a day (or hourly, weekly, monthly) rate, without the costs of having to pay them 48 weeks a year, or provide a pension, HR, notice periods, or if they work from home/other office, a desk/phone/cleaner/PC, ICT suppourt etc. The consultant benefits by getting more money (but has to cover their own overheads), gets to chose who he works for and what projects, and gets as much (unpaid) holliday as they like.

@alexandersupertramp

assume its where you copied and pasted it from, but the layout of that had me trying to read it like a poem… which got really weird really quickly. 😯

Rolf Harris had groupies?

ROLF HARRIS?

ROFL.

Rolf Harris had a no 1 and was on top of the pops.

I expect everyone who had a No 1 hit in the seventies had groupies.

Even that bird thing..

edit.. Definitely another candidate for yew tree this one, somebody want to ring G4S

And not only that, but the bird’s wearing a nappy, so it’s clearly underaged, and thus he’s a paedofile!
If someone brings the stake, I’ll bring the matches and some marshmallows, and we can have a good burning. 😀

Re Keith Harris. I would put money on it.

My Mrs was propositioned by him at 16.

Soooooo legal then? Morally, it is a different matter.

I’m gonna wait and see if Rolf is charged and convicted before I get my knickers in a twist.

It does strike me that maybe what many people felt was acceptable then, is no longer felt to be acceptable – so society’s changing values is something to bear in mind.

Aww, jeez, not this shit again. If it had been socially acceptable in those days, it would have been legal and the perpetrators wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to keep it quiet.

Bo Derek frequently shagged me when I was 14, although I may have imagined the whole thing every time she did it. Hmmmmmm Bo Derek. 8)

G4S are a private company the more they expand the investigation the more “suspects” they identify/create the more money they make.

Just a thought.

I propose a new (ish) board game, Guess Who, The Sex Offence Edition. Consisting entirely of Children’s TV presenters from the 70’s and 80’s. You would need to use the exact same type of deductive reasoning employed on social media sites.

Pick a face……guilty!

It can’t fail. Who wants to fund it? Anyone?

A very good friend of mine gf worked for the BBC as a co producer of a show featuring RH she was warned by her bosses that he was very touchy feely with young women she kept him at arms length! 😕

Now you mention it,my friends ex girlfriend said she didn’t like watching him on telly as he gave her the creeps.
You can call CSI off that’s all the evidence we need.

Just about every man aged 65 and above must be looking over his shoulder these days wondering how long it will be before some past indiscretion comes out of the woodwork.

*thinks* hmmm…. tall blonde Gillian who I groped in the school locker room when I was 15 might just fancy her chances at getting some cash out of me…. better stay here in lagos and not come home.

I remember being 15 and going to a party thrown by my Dad’s research assistants (i.e. young post grads). As a 15 year old I was hugely flattered to be asked by a nice-looking man ‘which university did you go to?’. The responsible adults in the room pounced on the bloke in question and ensured that he didn’t get into trouble – and neither did I.

The difference between normal people and all the cases coming out of the woodwork – as I see it – is that there weren’t enough responsible adults saying ‘no, you can’t do that’ to the media idols and letting the culture slide into tacit acceptance and blind eyes being turned so that it seemed like a perk of the job.

At 15, wondering about the adult world and nearly getting into quite a few scrapes, I was lucky that men didn’t take advantage and there were people looking out for me. Things could have turned out badly but I’m glad they didn’t. It’s better not to have your faith in humanity smashed at an early age.

Oh, and Rolf Harris and Jimmy Savile both made my skin crawl. For what it’s worth. I just didn’t watch their programmes!

I’m trying to decide where the line in the sand is. I’m pretty sure that if Glen Michael turns out to have been a paedophile, that’ll be the point at which I say **** it, I don’t care. But maybe it’ll kick in earlier.

FWIW, the most contact I’ve had with 14 and 15 year olds (apart from when I was at school) was from behind the bar of Bangor University’s Student Union, by which point they’d already got past two points of apparently having their ID checked.

No, it’s not quite justification, but if the cases in question involved gigs where the artist would rightly have expected anyone there to be over the age of consent (i.e. over 18 and allowed to buy booze), would he really be expected to ask for them to verify their age? Is that a realistic expectation? Or is it realistic, just as I was told by the bar manager, that anyone who had got in had been verified as over 18 and therefore OK to serve alcohol to (or shag…).

G4S are a private company the more they expand the investigation the more “suspects” they identify/create the more money they make.

Just a thought.

It’s not G4S that decides how many temp employees are supplied.

“Just a thought”.
