Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Hmmm?

Maybe that's why the South Yorkshire Police raided Cliff Richards house , because of their inaction in Rotherham all those years ago. Now they get one person claiming Cliff Richard sexually assaulted him in 1985 and they go on a witch hunt to show how robust they are in quickly investigating it

indeed aldwickk, all diversion....don't look here, nothing to see...look here instead!

Hopefully, those in charge of things, whilst the kids in Rotherham were being so numerously and so badly abused, will now be brought to account.

THE PAEDOFILE: Rolf Harris case…..a travesty in Court, and the corporacratic motives behind it

The Judge Mr. Justice Sweeney QC told the jury to accept that Harris was at Leigh Park Community Centre where one offence was supposed to have taken place – although the evidence to prove this is without any media confirmation: after trawling through 7 years of newspaper archives by the prosecution, no reference to Rolf Harris at the event was found. Nor was any mention found in any council records, nor did any local person remember anything


But a video of him at Leigh Park Community Centre on that day was shown , it was also shown on all BBC & ITV news

There was a video of him there on the day?


Why wasn't the court aware of this??

delete

"But a video of him at Leigh Park Community Centre on that day was shown..."

Shown to who?
When?

To the court at the trial?

It was shown on all the main TV channels , BBC ,ITV

What was the source of the video? It may be inadmissible as evidence if the date cannot be proved.

It looked like it was taken by a member of the public

There was a good comment about Boris standing for Uxbridge.

"He is more Oxbridge than Uxbridge"

Maybe the video showed on the news was not the one linked to him being at http://www.9news.com.au/world/2014/05/24/04/25/no-proof-harris-there-when-girls-gropedLeigh park ,

Time for the beeb to be broken up?



BBC accused of sanitising its news coverage of Rotherham child abuse by Pakistani gangs by failing to refer to perpetrators' ethnicity

Report found 1,400 children abused between 1997 and 2013 in Rotherham

Majority of the perpetrators were Pakistani men, the report revealed

But a fear of acknowledging their ethnicity 'compounded the scandal'

Five of seven article on BBC News online do not mention Pakistani men

The BBC has enraged licence fee-payers by allegedly downplaying the role of Pakistani gangs in Rotherham's sex abuse scandal.

Yesterday's landmark report singled out Pakistani men as the main perpetrators in the sexual exploitation of at least 1,400 children over 16 years - and warned a fear of acknowledging their race compounded the scandal.

But today, five of BBC News Online's seven articles on the report made no reference to Pakistani men.

The trouble with the BBC now is they think their audience are 14 year olds . Celebrity rules , any opportunity to show Beckham etc at Wimbledon is taken far too often.

How sad.
How ironic to the USA anti-gun lobbyists.

Yes and there's a video , not that i'd want to see it.

She did OK with the first two single shots. And then.......

His final words, captured on video, were: “All right, full auto."

I'm amazed they let a nine year old even hold a 9mm sub machine gun, much less fire it.

The recoil alone would be too much for most 9yo's.

Also, full auto is illegal in the good ol usa for private citizens. Gang bangers only.
