Good for those making the allegations.

Repellent man. In the early 1970's I once had the misfortune of witnessing one of his 'celebrity' personal appearances. During his schtick he managed to crack a racist 'joke' about the Paki infested area he'd had to travel through to reach the event.

Even when I was a young kid, Dave Lee Travis struck me as an unpleasant, bullying sort of bloke.

Agreed. I also have clear recollections of his interminable, on-air drivel about the difficulties he encountered as the owner of a farm....twat.
 
Also not sure if it got a mention on u75 or not but the other day it was revealed that Jim Davidson will not be facing charges.

Not facing charges, but a man who will tread lightly from now on and never feel safe in a dark street.
 
This bit from the Mirror raised Savile parallels in terms of royal links and gongs (he also painted the queen):
Harris, who has lived in Bray, Berkshire, for more than 50 years, was awarded an MBE in 1968, an OBE in 1977 and a CBE in 2006, and was made Officer of the Order of Australia in the Queen's Birthday Honours list last year​

Afaik, rumours that Harris was at the very least 'dodgy' have been around for a good while - certainly last year. They really don't seem to do much checking when it comes to dishing out the royal seal of approval.
 
Rolf has been mentioned on several occasions before on this thread, and that other thread isn't even in the right forum (the only excuse for it being in the world forum is that some Australian etc press reported his original questioning before the UK media would touch it).

Well, I don't agree with that at all. If he's not been charged, then why should he have to look over his shoulder? As far as I was aware, there were never any rumours about him being a nonce or rapist or whatever, before this all came up. His comedy is shit and you could probably deduce he's a cunt from that, but he doesn't deserve a kicking - or worse - for being a cunt.

I didn't say he deserved a kicking or that he should have to look over his shoulder.
A large number of folk will not agree.
It's those who used to be his audience and 'enjoy' his jokes that will not believe him innocent and like to do him physical damage.

Fair enough, sorry for implying you did say it.

And of course, just because he didn't get charged, it doesn't mean he didn't do it. So I hope if he did do it then he does get a kicking.
 
When my school were on the Rolf Harris show we were told not to ask him for his autograph. Only the kids chosen to be on the show got real ones, the rest of us had to make do with photocopies (or photostats as they were known in those days).

It's the kind of thing the ruling class are into, why would they care. It's the kind of behaviour they approve of.
