I wonder what he's done?
Never saw that coming!
Maybe he was the cow...
Just looked at the story. WHY does he insist on looking like a freak? Seriously, he is playing a very dangerous game.
I just feel they are using Gary Glitters notoriety to give the whole Jimmy Saville story credence.
Theres far more important things going on in Britain today. I just feel its a smoke-screen to divert attention from Afghanistan/economy/jobs/immigration/welfare cuts/etc

There are more wrong things going on with him than his dress sense.

I feel that you may be a little bit paranoid then.

Do you really think that the average person is interested in such mundane things? This is the Jeremy Kyle generation..

Oh, I totally agree. But, if you were going to court for <whatever reason> you would not dress in a track suit and tell the judge to **** off.
His entire demeanor seems to try to justify his actions.

Who are "they" ?

Hmmm, I think you're in the minority there; IME most people tend to be against child abuse.

Edit: my thoughts (and words) exactlly allthepies
He only wants people to be in his gang
Jeremy Kyle generation would seem a very good description indeed.
True or not true ... Isnt the Saville allegations still unproven? Lots of stories, but no real solid evidence?
But hey ... Its a showbiz story eh!

Well not proven in court I suppose, same as Lance?!
lol .. bringing Lance Armstrong into it ..
Yep, I reckon it's all just a conspiracy of women in their 50s desperate for fame and fortune and controlled by MI5. 300 separate cases with the same details couldn't be plausible otherwise could it? Poor Jimmy. Poor Gary. The lengths "they" will go to...
Kaesee/£5
Can Godwins Law be extended to include Lance now?
It's all a smokescreen to divert atention from Justin Lee Collins, I tell thee. 😆
I think its very concerning, as the revelations seem to point towards the possibility that instead of isolated predatory paedophiles, these people were acting together as some form of 'gang', presumably with one of them acting as a type of father figure, or 'leader'...
MI5? Nahh ... Prince Phillip is more conspiracy theory friendly for the Jeremy Kyle audience I think ..
Or Aliens??
Or maybe both Prince Phillip & Lance Armstrong are really aliens??
Jim fixed it for JLC to be forgotten very quickly.
I *think* we're agreed that Savile, Glitter, etc. are/were bad men.
But i read an article yesterday that Max Clifford has had loads of 60's, 70's, even 80's stars approach him with 'revelations' that they may have had relations with a succession of groupies back in the day and they were never that disposed to checking birth certificates. Technically still in the wrong, also morally questionable to make use of your status to this kind of advantage, but I do have a degree of sympathy for the 'that's just how it was back then' rationale. I hope that if this all starts to come to light the public can make a distinction between predatory paedolphilia and being a 70's pop icon.
The first single I bought was I Love You Love Me Love by GG & the b-side was (Hand's Up) It's A Stick Up Baby.
Should have seen it coming really..
It's the collective media led outrage at all this that is doing my head in now. If the allegations are true and proven then yes, Saville was a vile human being and likewise the BBC and others who seemingly ignored complaints or responded nonchalantly should be investigated and held to account but once again the trial by media and and collective outrage based on little more than stories I'm finding hard to stomach.
I don't know why I'm surprised.

I agree, the abuse of position to take advantage of vulnerable people is hard to stomach.
(Or is that not what you meant 😐 )
Mooman, you are joking right?
On the radio Thursday they said the police were preparing to arrest up to a dozen celebrities
Things you do in the dark must come out in the light......
Just seen him on the news, he looks dressed like a bad santa!
I think Britain needs sensible 'prescription' laws, statutory limits to how long you can be brought to justice for each type of crime. Dragging stuff up from the 70s is pointless IMO. In France the délai de préscription for rape is 10 years, the 10-year period starting at the victim's eighteenth birthday for younger victims.
When I was a kid it was drummed into about nonces etc. So I wont believe that it was alright back then. At school in the early 80s we were told about age/restrictions. 70/80s werent a different era. ALL Beeb staff whi knew the rumours aided and abhetted in the abuse. Turning a blind eye to save your job...****ers
The films thread has reminded me of "Tamara Drew" directed by Stephen Frears. A 15-year-old-girl fan who seduces a 25-year-old rock star is a successful heroine in the film!
Dragging stuff up from the 70s is pointless IMO.
I'm sure that the victims will agree once they've had a good chance to think about it rationally.

What's your point caller. If the allegations are to be believed, there was only one person doing the "seducing"*.
*If it is indeed possible to seduce a disabled child.
Dragging stuff up from the 70s is pointless IMO.
I couldn't agree more.
Closure for the victims should be avoided at all costs.

Quite agree, and if you can sexually assault a couple of hundred kiddies and hide it for 30 years you deserve your knighthood.
Lock them up. Throw away the key.
Remember Ronan Polanski evadinv justice over his charge of Paedophilia/rape of a underaged girl. Some media types defend. Funny how its media types who blur the lines!
It was odds-on the bastard was going to be involved at some point in this.
I can rig up some gallows in no time if the CPS want me to.........
why arrest Glitter? Just prepare the firing squad !
novaswift - Memberwhy arrest Glitter? Just prepare the firing squad !
Ahemm ... before firing squad can we propose torturing these people medieval style? Then perhaps harvest some organs for spare parts? The left overs can be recycle by turning into fertiliser or fattening up the salt water crocodiles.

nah, he's the goat.
someone has to be as Savile's dead, so they can't get him.
I can't wait for the inevitable "Paul McCartney shagged me when I was twelve" revelation now that compensayshun is on the table and the ambulance chasers are on full alert. **** me how old was that Pre pubescent girl on the Stones album that caused a bit of a stir? Why I bet we could even implicate Cliff Richard in fact **** it why not maybe I could get some cash...

??? What are you on about, the guys a pervert who shouldn't be allowed to breath, have sympathies do you.

? See my post further on before you jump to conclusions. Yes, the guy is a genuine contender for the gallows. My point (which you missed by a mile) is that he dresses like a freak which only adds credence to the case against him. That, or I am genuinely a peado sympathizer.

Surely you don`t mean these allegations could be anything other than 100% true?
That people would sniff a bit of £££ by selling a Jimmy Saville story to a tabloid newspaper hungry for stories?
No - not in this day and age ..
The Freddie Starr thing showed what they were up to. They need someone to make up for the fact that they ignored Savile while he was alive. Anyone will do, even Glitter, who has already been banged up. Seems like an easy enough target.
Next to be implicated will be Jonathan King.
