Re: Rolf Harris arrested over sexual offences

I can't help thinking either the entire male population has been guilty of sexual offences or we are judging men on standards of today on what they did within the framework of standards years ago.

It was fairly standard to have to be quick on your feet back in the 70s to avoid the factory letch. We dealt with it ourselves, knew who not to be left alone with and just got on with things.

Now and I am sure this is more correct men are not allowed to carry on like that, but we cannot look back to those times and judge people on what we accept now.

My God how can you honestly say Jake the peg is anything to do with the way he thinks,
The three legged man was round before Jake the peg by Rolf Harris, it was an old circus trick by clowns.
Once again it is trial by media, wait and see what happens.

Oh dear Elbee How silly - why have you posted about this in such an insensitive way - as if it is all a joke? It's not even new news - perhaps some folks get something out of trawling about for this sort of stuff to poke fun at. Very bad taste IMO

Re: Rolf Harris arrested over sexual offences

I think the whole thing has got out of hand with some people, having been slapped on their bottom as a youngster and told to run back to mum, probably just think they may be able to sue someone for money.
I am not saying things did not happen in some cases but there are way to many worms coming out of the woodwork.

You would change your tune if you were a victim - as you are not - you have no clue... The BBC was a ring of abusers - that were 'allowed' to get on with it - thats my opinion....

I Agree . I don't find anything amusing in the situation.

Unfortunately, men have always been prone to this kind of thing but, going back even further in time, it wasn't uncommon for a girl of 12 to be married to a man in his 30s. It is historical fact that young children (boys too) were sold into the sex trade (by their parents) as young as the age of 4; none of it is new. The only new thing is our perception of it and rightly so.
