"Detectives today revealed around 450 potential victims have come forward and 200 allegations of sexual assault have been made."
So 250 victims have come forward for no apparent reason?

If that's the case I've just won a fiver. We were having a bet to see who would get arrested in the great paedo witch hunt of 2012. Anyone who was even just a little bit jazzy in the 70s is fair game. If I were any member of Slade or Wizzard I'd consider leaving the country.

I'm having a hard time categorizing accusations by 200 people as a 'witch hunt'.
The term that comes to mind is 'about freakin' time'.

It's more about how it's a tabloid frenzy field day - you must have seen how the accusations have been banded about. Lord McAlpine for example, and how even previously clean cut presenters like Philip Schofield have grabbed a pitch fork and flaming torch and joined in the fun.
|
|
|
|
|
Still, I find myself somewhat indifferent when it comes to people who where 'jazzy in the 70's' being persecuted.

Lord McAlpine was named in publications 15 years ago. And not just the incident that everyone is now backing away from. He didn't bother suing back then, presumably not wanting to draw attention to things. That is no longer possible, Twitter now names everyone that mainstream is going to pains to avoid naming.
There have been plenty of people with plenty of targets for a long, long time, but unable to find anyone large and legitimate enough with the balls to go public, or without enough evidence.
The climate has changed in the last couple of months and so those that have been waiting for so long are going to take their chance when they can.

Considering Slade's guitarist used to live next door to an all girls school, he must be bricking it. I am not alleging anything here - just stating that he lived next door to a school, and as far as I know, is entirely innocent. I have heard no allegations to the contrary, and am making no allegations.

Given the current climate that should be enough to convince the rabid mob of his guilt:
Dodgy 70s hair? Check.
Glam rocker? Check.
Top of the pops? Check.
Lived next to a girls school? Call the Daily Mail! NOW!!!!

If I lived next door to an all girls school I probably wouldn't be too innocent. Some of the seniors...

If you're suggesting for one second that the great Noddy Holder could have been involved...
Mind you, as for that guitarist of theirs...

In the 1970's Everton Football Club sold several players, one of whom later joined Liverpool and had a very fine spell there.
No reason was given in the press at the time, but everyone in Liverpool knew that they had been caught shagging schoolgirls at the Bellfield training ground.

Aung San Suu Kyi said that it was him that kept her sane whilst she was under house arrest in Burma.
I hope DLT listens to her a lot whilst he is under arrest!

Just how does this effect the election in the United States?
|

|
|

You think we have memories of more than a couple of days?
The news gets reset at weekends, the US elections were like months ago.
