Not arrested by Yewtree officers but the allegations came through that probe.

I don't believe it but I'm happy to be proved wrong.

Why Chipstick,? Do you know him?

[Chipstick10]

No I don't know him.

I think it's a case of not wanting to believe it. How could that nice, funny man we all used to laugh at actually be a monster?

I'm just pleased that people are being believed. I do think if someone is found to be innocent then as big deal should be made of it.

It almost seems as if it's easier to count the 1970s light entertainment celebs who have not been arrested/questioned than those who have... I'm glad that allegations are finally being taken seriously, after decades of victims being frightened/ashamed/bullied/treated with hostility by the very people who should protect them - police officers, social workers and so on. That doesn't mean any of the people being questioned are guilty, of course, until any trial is over/suspects have pleaded guilty e.g. Stuart Hall.

there appears to have been a culture in which the rich and famous could get away with anything sexually. It needs cracking. But there will be casualties.
