I'd me...A fairly clear sighted analysis James.<br /><br />I'd merely add that you also left out those pitiful wretches who exploit such cases and their victims to make a transparent political attack off the back of it like the lunatic PBtories on political betting. Also in the case of the Sun, the NotW and some other tabloids to whip up the readership into a mob like frenzy to up their circulation.<br /><br />Serious cases like this deserve sober and serious analysis and actions to prevent them ever happening again.<br /><br />You manage to highlight the issue without libelling anyone. Alas! the dimmer PBtories just can't manage that and the subject has been banned on there thanks to the same hyasterical simpleton who got the other child abuse cases banned for her moronic attempts to smear and libel using them.<br /><br />A mad, mad world indeed. <br /><br />But can you imagine a political website that banned people who had NOTHING to do with the libellous allegations and just logged in to find himself banned by a cowardly moderator looking to lash out at someone because of his PBtory friend's stupidity?<br /><br />Hard to imagine such an embarrassing and ludicrous thing happening to a site that claims to be "non-aligned", but that's how low PB has sunk.Mick Porknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-59613621475783137862012-10-06T10:26:28.342+01:002012-10-06T10:26:28.342+01:00I suspect that here are files inches thick on cele...I suspect that here are files inches thick on celebrities who may or may not have done some despicable things, but due to pressure being exterted nothing is done.<br />I worked in the bar at the HoC, and I heard a plethora of stories on individuals. When you had 635 making up the membership there were some exceedingly dodgy apples in the barrel.<br />I do however believe in innocent until proven guilty. Sometimes the status of the person makes it too hard to do anything when the MSM supports them against you.<br />All treated the same under the law, I do not think so.

How embarrassing!<br /><br />Of course I believe we should be protecting the young from predators, but, because two under-age (in the UK) girls, got this text, this lad spent time in prison and will be on the sex offenders' register, which means he will no longer be allowed to do his job.<br /><br />I haven't a clue what the answer is.<br /><br />Don't text intimately? Don't have children or under 16 year olds in your phone book? Learn how to use your ever more complicated phone? Guard against slippery fingers?<br /><br />Or maybe we could get a few more judges with just a little bit of common sense.<br /><br />And yes, celebrities can get away with anything, it seems. Because even Esther Rantzen had heard the rumours that Jimmy Savile was a paedophile, and despite her undoubted interest in and concern for children and their care, she did nothing, because he was too big a star.<br /><br />Too big a star? <br /><br />Goodness. What would happen if a REAL star did something like this?<br /><br />I think we may be about to find out more. Mr Savile was well connected: a friend of the likes of Mrs Thatcher, Mr Heath, and many others in the glitterati of politics and show business and rumours are rife about the number of visits he made to Haute La Garenne, the orphanage on Jersey. <br /><br />I didn't like Savile at all as a kid. I thought he was ridiculous with his silly noises, daft way of talking and "'ars about that then?'. <br /><br />I had no inkling of anything sinister. I just thought he was patronising and a prat. <br /><br />And that was before I found out he was a close friend of Mrs Thatcher.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
