Er no.

we are now entering the next stage where politicians are piling in. Exactly how they plan to legislate against people doing 40 years ago I don't know, but it gives them an opportunity to show what highly moral people they are.

Personally I think every time a politician speaks up on a moral issue, his expenses should be listed in brackets after his name.

Trigs: yes.

Well it didn't take Thatcherite very long to get suspended (again), did it?

What concerns me is the hysteria to cast blame. If the man is guilty of the things of which he is accused, then it is too late: the man is dead and beyond human (though not divine) retribution. I dislike this culture of "someone must pay"; it's like saying that if a child abuser is dead then the owner of the house in which the abuse took place must pay because: "he/she must have, or ought to have, known what was going on". To my mind the BBC have no case to answer regarding any abuse, though their judgement may be questioned over their reluctance to make further enquiries.

Hang on ! Savile smoked Cohibas ? That makes everything much worse.But it doesn't look like it in the photos, where he's smoking something which is more length than taste. Cohiba don't make cigars that vulgar. So at last a slur which may be unfounded! Phew.

Didn't he come from working-class stock from somewhere in the north? Wouldn't he have really been happier with something like a Woodbine?

That is almost like saying the majority of convicted criminals in South Africa are black.

[FredPuli43]

So ,aog, are you agreeing that the percentage of Pakistani paedophiles in the UK is no greater than that in the rest of the population? If not, what gloss are we to put on your last answer?
