Cuddlycat Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 My dad who had a job as a taxi driver at that time took me to watch his movie when I was a little girl. A movie named "The Young Ones". It made me curious to know what those songs in that movies mean. That was how I start to like English. That is how I will remember him, my inspiration.

Whatever will Sue Barker and Neutron Bomb say? And what's next? Will people say that certain members of The Rolling Stones had sex with under-age girls? Simply unbelievable.

Roadman Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Allegations from the 1980's? Many sessions with the shrink convinced or remembered it like it was yesterday as having to live with this the rest of one's life is just to much victimization for the weak? Hey look at me I was fiddled by a star? He does have a lot more fame and money than Rolf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendejo Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) One of the great things about growing up in the US was no Cliff Richard. Over the years assorted Brits have assured me of what a blessing this is. I don't get this thing about kids, and don't want to. I saw Donovan in concert in the late 1960s and in Mellow Yellow he sang the line I'm just mad about 14 year old girls and I thought "what the ... ???"

Not sure, but if there's a prima facie case I hope the matters are expedited thru the courts and if convicted he faces severe justice. Any case involving children as victims should be treated in the same way. As a species we must protect our vulnerable young at any expense. Being an international superstar or celebrity does not give anyone an excuse to abuse children. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtoad Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Agreed ND, I had the misfortune to have a well know celeb on my unit some years back for a fairly short period of time. The initial joke sentence was no deterrent, and repeat offences occurred. There is in my belief a lot of very high profile people who have been getting away with this shit for sometime, and have been protected. Jimmy Savile was the one that really broke the veil of secrecy, and I hope they continue to round up and prosecute said offenders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that you ought to tell that to Louis Freese (B-Real) MrTony, I am well past dealing with this sort of thing, but have in the past (not with someone of Cliff Richards status) but this sort of evil heinous crime is committed by grubs at virtually every level. There's been cases involving, priests, judges, health professionals, this and that.....it's just sick. These days when it comes to these issues I'm left wondering who can a mother or father trust. And it's something that has gone on far too long, it's certainly not a new age crime. I am saddened by this story, not because it may end up being the fall of yet another so called celebrity but for the reason there are more victims and what they may have been subjected to is so powerfully sickening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
