Re: Rolf Harris
He's a very clever man with a lot of talent, it's such a shame his work will always be tainted. Stupid man!Send him back to Australia without his didgeridoo!
I came across a book about JS in the library this morning, "In Plain Sight" I think it was called, it made me feel physically sick just looking at the title!
I think any celebrity who is tainted by allegations, true or not, like these will be judged by his actions.

Re: Rolf Harris
Rolf was a scapegoat, like many others from those days. Some could prove their innocence but were still tarnished for life, others could put forward no defence and were charged, whether they were innocent or not. The country wanted blood after the Jimmy Savile affair and created a witch hunt. You never saw a poor bloke go down for historical sex crimes. Young girls, now in their fifties and sixties, were queueing up to bring down the rich and famous who might have chanced their arm when they themselves were younger and dafter. None of the 'Groupies' were complaining then were they, in fact a lot bragged about their conquests.Rolf is not a 'Dirty Old Pervert' at worst he could be called a silly young man living at a time when things were hell of a lot different to now. Don't confuse him with the gangs of Asians who target young white girls to enrol in a life of sex. These are the ones who should spend the rest of their lives behind bars, but in fact some of them haven't served as long as Rolf.....

What has the colour of a person's skin got to do with them being a pervert? Many white people are evil paedophile scum like Jimmy Saville, Fred Talbot, and many other white celebs and others!

Re: Rolf Harris
No one is making excuses for him .The man did wrong and has served his time.
But there are degrees even in doing wrong .
And his weren't so bad as the example given a ring of Asian men who systematically abused underage white female children and did it for decades

Life can actually mean a whole life term in some extreme cases like that of Brady, for instance.
