Cyril Smith dies

The child abuse allegations are not confirmed.

"All he seems to have done is spanked a few bare bottoms" doesn't sound like a flat denial to me.

Neither does not pursuing legal action when national publications explicitly accuse you of noncery.
 
Jesus. :rolleyes:

The child abuse allegations are not confirmed.

And he was overweight because of a medical condition, not cos he ate too much.

Absolute bollocks. If he had eaten less would he have kept the same weight? even with a thyroid complaint you can not choose not to stuff your face.

The man was a a paedo cunt.

So you know how much he ate then? Are you his doctor, dietician or friend?
 
The man weighed 29 stone at one point. You hardly need to be a doctor or dietician to know that he could have reduced his weight by eating less, and that to blame his weight on a medical condition is bollocks.

And no, I am not his friend. Was he yours?

Alrighty what about the spirited defense of Asbestos? Still kills fuck loads to this day and will carry on for years. Obviously the right honourable fat cunt shares were a mere coincidence.

Seems like some people are poised to spit out their bile, just waiting for a convenient excuse.
 
What has his weight got to do with anything anyway? Are fat people more likely to be paedos or something?
 
Difficult to say. This cunt shares similar proclivities and shape

I suppose you are going to say he is similarly misunderstood? He has got 24 years whereas Cyril was just deemed a "character". Nothing to do with his Political influence of course.
 
You thick cunt.

You defend a corrupt and violent child abuser who defend an asbestos manufacturing company long after the links on health were made clear for money. That makes you as bad as him. Your family are all cunts by the sounds of it.

Hahah you sound like a nice guy :/

I'm not defending anyone, just saying what i think. I just thought the attacks by people who have read a few articles on the internet were out of order, he made mistakes yes but he did far more good work than bad.

At least i knew him, i was part of that community and i knew the plant and what went on around that time. you however read like a Daily Mail headline, massive over reaction to a subject you know very little about aside from a few links from the internet.
 
tbf the accusations against him are pretty strong stuff. If true (and the asbestos one certainly is) then why would anyone defend him? How many deaths a year from asbestos related cancers?
 
At least i knew him,

That is what happens with paedo's in a community. Plenty of people know them as they insinuate themselves into families and friendship groups on the prowl for potential subjects. It has happened again and again. And when their associates find out they have been lucky enough to have escaped their attention they can not believe that these beasts were capable of what they did.
 
You seem all too willing to launch to the defence of a fat paedo asbestos loving mill owner. Why?

You really are a nasty bastard. It's not as simple as that. I know you and others who have spare time and internet access probably love a good old fat paedo bashing session but he wasn't a Peado and he wasn't some big evil corrupt heartless bastard either. There are thousands of people who love and respect the man for the good things he achieved. read some of these comments before you continue to spout your hate, these are from people who actually lived in the areas you are talking about as if you know everything.

The Rochdale Observer hardly has come out of all this untainted. They have not followed up any of the allegations for decades.
 
Over 2000 deaths per year from mesothelioma caused by exposure to asbestos, probably twice that amount for lung cancers*.

He defended the industry when he knew of the dangers, its an industry he had shares in. I'd say that he has blood over his chubby cold hands. A lot of blood, thats before we even get the possible noncing.

Why are you so keen to attack him (for being fat amongst other things)?

You stated that his 29 stone weight was the result of a medical condition. YOU are the one bending the truth in an attempt to defend him. By doing so you are dismissing the asbestos victims who cough their guts up day after day thanks to his greed.

Innit. I don't get the defence.

The nonce allegations weren't just a bit of tittle-tattle - they were the subject of prolonged national media coverage, with evidence of a cover-up thrown in. Furthermore, Smith did not even attempt to respond to the allegations, let alone contest them. The media reports innuendo all the time, but they do not explicitly label somebody as a sex offender without damning evidence.

Besides that, Smith was anti-working class and proven to have acted in extremely bad faith over asbestos, of all things. It is not 'internet rumours' that Smith put his own financial well being ahead of the workforce in the turners factory in his constituency. Some peoples' representative he was. He was scum. Liberal scum.

Eh? His weight has nothing to do with the asbestos stuff (which i'm not defending).
 
My family and thousands of others have been severely affected by the T&N plant in the valley and the asbestos dust it produced...i lived (and my parents still live) about a mile away from the plant.

I have memories of the dust covered plants and trees on 'the wreck wasteground' we used to play in as kids, i remember being shocked at the outrage many years later when all of the sheds got removed as they had asbestos roofs. I have seen too many members of the local community and friends/my family die of Mesothelioma and other respiratory deseases it is the most horrific death, i wouldn't wish it on anybody.
My dad has liquid on the lungs he is in and out of hospital being drained regularly and is suffering from a variety of other ilnesses like DVT, high blood preassure, Diabetes.

I work in the construction industry, like everyone who works in this industry I have lost friends, good friends to asbestos related illnesses.

This was (and still is) something much bigger than one man.
Of course.
For years there had been thousands of asbestos related deaths all over the North West, England and the World....It's still being covered up now in many third world countries and asbestos deaths are still high. In 2006, 2.3 million tons of asbestos was mined worldwide. i dont see you ranting and campaigning about that.

With respect you've no idea what I (or others on this thread) do or how we direct our efforts.

Cyril was no angel, yes he did make mistakes in his career and in his personal life just like everyone else on the planet. He did what he thought was right and was the first to admit what went on was wrong

I have tried but failed to find an apology for his defence of asbestos when the dangers were known. If you could please direct me to where I could find it I'd be grateful.

but I dont believe Cyril's main motivation was money at all. Around that time he was already wealthy from his company Smiths springs that employed over 50 people.

Perhaps but those shares certainly leave him open to attack on those grounds, I very much suspect he was in part motavated by greed.

Back in his day things were different than nowadays, he wrongly lobbied for that company and defended what went on at that place to protect the livelyhood of the ENTIRE community around that area.

I don't doubt that and protecting his investment was a happy side affect.

...over time it turns out that was a bad move and he paid a high price being voted out of every single political office he held, including 27 school governorships. It's easy to look back and criticise.

Not that higher price compared to all those who have died and are dying.

as for the nonce allegations why bother fighting a smear campaign he knew wasn't true? Why waste the energy? ONE place published that crap, Just like Cyril i wouldn't waste my time trying to disprove the smears, they can stay exactly that. Smears. It's on record the great work he did for eduation in the North West.

I believe it was 2 places that printed it, shame he didnt defend it through the courts, and let us hope you are right.

I'm not going to keep arguing this point i just wanted to add a different perspective. People who haven't got all the facts and do a little reading on google are entitled to hate him if they want its a free world. I know there are many people out there who know he was a great man who did many more good things than bad.

Whose not got all the facts? Whose not done a little reading?

Look its easy to pull up links from the internet and condemn him but the whole issue was alot more complicated than it seems.

Yes you are right he did defend the industry but i disagree he did that for financial reasons. Do you think people are stupid? Most of the people that worked there knew the risks, and they continued to work there. We are talking about a whole community here. If that plant would have closed immediately it would have devestated the whole area and the town...T&N are the ones who have blood on their hands.

Proper Tidy is right. This defence would hold a lot more if he wasnt a share holder.
 
Sir Cyril was the figurehead of the community and it was he who absolved his responsibility by continuing to back the asbestos plant in the light of all the evidence. He even went to parliament to back asbestos, and to his death did not accept that what he had done was wrong. Nothing you have said has removed his culpability.
