Jon the Hat Posted 2 May 2013 Posted 2 May 2013 Some people clearly take advantage of the power of fame. I hope they all get what is coming to them. It must take a huge amount of courage to come forward after all this time and give evidence. Hats off to the ladies involved - their actions will protect others in the future.
Vacamion Posted 2 May 2013 Posted 2 May 2013 Shocking. Can we not merge all the alleged historic abuse by famous people threads (Jimmy Saville/Jim Davidson/DLT/Rolf/Max Clifford/this one) into a single thread? You just wonder who is next to make the transition from trusted family favourite to suspected beast...

Jimothy Posted 2 May 2013 Posted 2 May 2013 Ive never trusted sooty..looks like a shifty bastard to me.. It's always the quiet ones!
21st Century Fox Posted 2 May 2013 Posted 2 May 2013 It's always the quiet ones! Except in Stuart Halls case.

Can we not merge all the alleged historic abuse by famous people threads (Jimmy Saville/Jim Davidson/DLT/Rolf/Max Clifford/this one) into a single thread? Absolute cvnts of our time? Brucie will be the next I reckon. Brian Blessed is bound to have been up to no good too.
Fox92 Posted 2 May 2013 Posted 2 May 2013 Never understand why people are attracted to children. Disgrace.

lavrentis Posted 2 May 2013 Posted 2 May 2013 Disgrace. Out on bail as well. Should be locked away. Never understand why people are attracted to children. Disgrace. ..
LanguedocFox Posted 2 May 2013 Posted 2 May 2013 It's worth reading and weeping over this statement from his solicitor, taken from the Guardian: "Stuart Hall confirms that he has pleaded guilty to 14 charges of indecent assault. Mr Hall deeply and sincerely regrets his actions. He wishes to issue an unreserved apology to the individuals concerned. He now accepts his behaviour and actions were completely wrong and he is very remorseful. "Mr Hall also wishes to apologise to his family, friends and supportive members of the public for whom he has high regard and respect. The last five months have been a strain and an ordeal for his family, who are standing by him. He asks for privacy during the next few weeks and he emphasises that he is contrite and faces punishment with fortitude and remorse." One of the children he assaulted was apparently nine years old. Repeat that: NINE YEARS OLD. I don't care how remorseful and contrite he is, the cvnt should be locked up for the rest of his natural life - as of now.
Guest MattP Posted 2 May 2013 Posted 2 May 2013 Seen some pathetic apologies in my time but that's top of the bunch. Sorry for doing it, or sorry because you were caught? Think we all know.
Manwell Pablo Posted 2 May 2013 Posted 2 May 2013 Mr Hall fiddling kids? Thought this was old news? (Allegedly)
johnny the fox Posted 2 May 2013 Author Posted 2 May 2013 Never understand why people are attracted to children. Disgrace. Im ashamed to say I used to love jimmy clitheroe and jimmy krankie...

Bloody hell, it'll be Val Singleton and Cheryl Baker next.
steveherbe Posted 2 May 2013 Posted 2 May 2013 Also makes you wonder, why did that Pope guy resign? Makes you wonder - you know what Catholic priests are like (no offence to any on here of course).
Guest MattP Posted 2 May 2013 Posted 2 May 2013 Also makes you wonder, why did that Pope guy resign? Makes you wonder - you know what Catholic priests are like (no offence to any on here of course). We all know there probably isn't a single person in the Vatican that hasn't touched someone up over the years.
Webbo Posted 2 May 2013 Posted 2 May 2013 They were saying in the paper on Sunday that a comedy favourite from the 60s is next.
leicsmac Posted 2 May 2013 Posted 2 May 2013 Just goes to show how easily power corrupts, really. Put a person in an influential position, and normally sooner or later they will take advantage of that influence in some way, because they think they can get away without consequences. Whether it's something little, or something huge and grotesque.
Kitchandro Posted 2 May 2013 Posted 2 May 2013 I'm just amazed at how many famous people are into that kind of thing.
Guest MattP Posted 2 May 2013 Posted 2 May 2013 I'm starting to wonder who knew more, the BBC, the Catholic Church or Big Jock and Celtic Football Club. All three appear to be organisations that have not only tolerated this sort of behaviour for long periods but actually encouraged it.

All three appear to be organisations that have not only tolerated this sort of behaviour for long periods but actually encouraged it. Three organisations that you have a particular agenda against due to your political ideology. No organisation with the breadth of influence of those three is squeaky clean. I'm betting there's skeletons in the closet at the Fox Network, within the other branches of the Christian Church and Rangers FC too. Possibly/probably of a different type, but they'll be there. No one person or organisation with any kind of power has no dark past.
