Jimmy Tarbuck Has Been Arrested Over Sex Abuse Claims...

[mrsmaveric]

who next i wonder?

[sherrardk]

Daisy, why would you go through what I would have thought is quite a traumatic process to jump on a bandwagon. You must have to provide considerable detail of what happened to you before the police would arrest the other party. Don't think you can just say 'x assaulted me' and then the police go off and arrest them.

Nothing for a pair in this game, bibblebub.

[mrsmaveric]

lol madmen i do see your point...

[MadMen]

See, we've already had one name mentioned. Someone who has absolutely nothing to do with Operation Yewtree.
I just think it's really unfair.

Mud sticks.

Is this just a rumour?, can't see anything on the Sky or BBC news apps

Not saying he is or isn't innocent, but presumably everyone is above reproach until they get found guilty of something.

methyl, it's hardly a family matter

Wonder if Big Ears has a story about Noddy? Wink wink

[askyourgran]

it was probably you Tonyav I can vaguely remember someone mentioning his name, it's hard to believe so many have been named after all these years. I just think of the scale of it, when you add all the Joe Bloggs' next door that have been doing it as well.

[Jeza]

This is just my perception. I was a teenager in the 60's. Young girls would do anything to get the attention of celebs, and I mean anything. Are these the one's that are now claiming abuse? I don't mean to accuse the people that were really abused.

[Sammy48]

I never quite trusted 'teddy' when he was in that basket with 'loopy loo'. I think Andy Pandy knew more than she was letting on. (;-/

[sherrardk]

This particular claim is involving a boy.

[sir.prize]

Well, they are stitching up the pensioners. Wonder if they will start on the 40 and 50 year olds next. Surely there must be some - or is it confined to one age group?

[askyourgran]

Jesa I said much the same thing on a previous thread when the Saville business was going on. There are a lot of people out there who have been living in shame etc. for a long time by the sound of it because of these men. Some of them went back more than once. It is a matter of separating the wheat from the chaff.

[sara3]

why is he more "above reproach" than, say.. Rolf Harris?

[sherrardk]

Methyl, not saying he has done anything wrong but I don't expect that people closest to people who have done anything wrong know about it - they hardly go around wearing t shirts proclaiming the fact.

[Sammy48]

Methyl, do you have some inside information that backs up your theory, that he is beyond reproach ?
