Danny....Smith most certainly was a paedophile, in the same way that Savile was.

After all, Savile wasn't convicted either......or are you denying that he was a paedophile as well ?

Again, I urge you to read the book. It will make your hair curl. It wasn't just his predilection for assaulting young boys that was the problem....he was also deeply corrupt, especially over his defence of the asbestos industry.

[mikey4444]

Yes...I should be getting on with my crumble !

[dannyk13]

Sorry Mikey, but without proof he is a suspected paedophile, as was Jimmy Savile.

[mikey4444]

Believe Savile was only "suspected" if you like Danny....most of us have come off the fence years ago !

A shop lifter seen running from the shop with a bottle of gin is still a thief even though he hasn't been convicted.

[Mamyalynne]

I don't need to call him anything having spoken to people who had the misfortune to run into him - that will do for me.

Hope you get something from the book Minty.

[mikey4444]

Cassa....some common sense !

Royal Opera's Otello on BBC4 tonight, Mikey. Preceded by a documentary (9.00pm)) the principal, Jonas Kaufmann (whom I've never heard of, I'm ashamed to say).

[douglas9401]

The principal is a shoplifter and paedophile??

[emeritus]

Is this the book co-written by Simon Danczuc who was suspended from the Labour Party for sending a sexually explicit text to a 17 year old girl ?

[mikey4444]

Emeritus....yes....its the same book.

I worked at Knowle View school at the same time as that was going on. To be honest I had no idea what was going on. I can't remember seeing Smith there at all, but I wasn't full time and only lasted for about 18 months.
