I wonder how long it is now before they start going after rock/pop stars from the 60s/70s

I don't think he'll be laughing now

Listening to the news on the radio today has been a profoundly depressing experience. When characters like Hall, Roache, Starr, Harris and Clifford were arrested I tried to bear in mind that phrases as vague as indecent assault could mean a thirty-five year old getting a hand job from a willing fifteen year old he met in a pub, and that attitudes to sex in The Summer of Love were different to our own.  None of that applies to someone who touches up a nine year old.

Mirroring my own thought processes there.  Just when you think you've become as disillusioned and cynical about people as you're likely to get, you read another sickening list of crimes by someone who used to define your family evenings in front of the telly and realise that you're still a babe in the woods in the scheme of things. I mean fucking hell, man.

My Mum was a terrific royalist as a kid (we actually went over during the Queen's Jubilee, watching the fleet review from a carpark is one of my strongest childhood memories), as many Irish people were, and I remember how heartbroken she was when all the shite around Charles and Diana's marriage was pouring relentlessly out and the Royal Family had become like an extended episode of Kilroy: "it used to be something special, now it's all ruined", she used to say.  Unsympathetic republican that I was/am, I used to marvel at this: they're only people, what the hell did she expect? 

Well, now I get it.

Tu Pac's aunt becomes first woman to be placed on FBI Most Wanted list.

Tu Pac's aunt becomes first woman to be placed on FBI Most Wanted list.

Joanne Chesimard/Assata Shakur is the first female to be added to the Feds' Most Wanted Terrorist list, but trustifarian turned bank robber Patty Hearst and Black Panther affiliate Angela Davis both made the regular list in the Seventies, along with countless XX bad asses I've never heard of. Commit a federal offence and you make the list.

I got it from glancing at the link to this

On clicking the link to bring the above up, I immediately noticed a section stating 'reports Daily Mail' and cursed myself.

[Frank]

I should really head over there and see what spin The Mail is putting on today's election results. My guess is they'll be licking their lips at the prospect of the calls for a lurch to the right which UKIP's gains will provoke among the party faithful.

Sorry, wrong thread.

[Modern Panther]

I now understand why call for a "devolved" English parliament weren't taken up by any mainstream party.  The whole country would be a xenophobic dictatorship by now. 

Luckily, you have your left leaning Scotch and Welsh brothers to stop you all from tipping over the edge.

...maybe you should have been nicer to us...

I wonder if Bill Roache and Michael Le Vell will share the same prison cell?
