He didn't get it, did he?

My personal view is that a suspended sentence was in order for the level of the assault and the fact that he has no other convictions.

But that speech on the steps of the court moved me to touch him, and not in a touchy-feely kind of way.

i did snurk at naval gazing though

WineWineWine · 26/09/2014 21:49

DLT is a vile slimeball, a pitiful excuse for a man.
His little poor me speech - are we supposed to feel sorry for him?
He accepts no responsibility for his behaviour and clearly believes that women like having his revolting hands all over them.
Are we supposed to be impressed that his wife has stood by him?

areyoubeingserviced · 26/09/2014 21:50

He is an ass of the highest order .
No remorse, nothing

limitedperiodonly · 26/09/2014 21:50

It's not up to me, but I think we should ignore Nutter1.

That's what I'll be doing.

However, I do think it's interesting that he's contributed to a thread questioning the behaviour of the convicted sex offender David Griffin aka DLT.

Because he is a convicted sex offender, isn't he?

Not an actor, playing a part.

But A. Convicted. Sex. Offender.

Pervert.

Pest.

Abuser.

In your own time, Nutter1

Quite, LimitedPeriod.

Just to add to the that advert is shit. I think so too. Why don't you Google whichever gambling addiction company it was for and take it up with them. Post on twitter about it. See how many rape threats you don't get.

gincamparidryvermouth · 26/09/2014 21:59

...carry on with the naval gazing

LOL naval gazing.

PetulaGordino · 26/09/2014 22:01

so 50% of posts on a thread about a convicted sex offender are devoted to reassuring a derailer that yes, we all think that a shit advert simulating female to male sexual assault is bad

what a fucking waste

but that's the point isn't it

(yes i know i'm just adding to it)

Montegomongoose · 26/09/2014 22:03

I was shocked by his whiny self-pitying comments and the utterly inhumane lack of any kind of apology.

I've always thought him a talentless twat but now I utterly despise him.

Who the fuck does he think he is?

gincamparidryvermouth · 26/09/2014 22:03

Fucking feminists!

CheckpointCharlie · 26/09/2014 22:16

Good post limited

RufusTheReindeer · 26/09/2014 22:18

I was also irked by his whining about how much money had been wasted on the trial

WELL STOP ASSAULTING WOMEN THEN NUMBNUTS!!!!!!

RufusTheReindeer · 26/09/2014 22:23

Shit just got the picture

I'm an idiot...it's official

YonicScrewdriver · 26/09/2014 22:27

It's not official, Rufus. There's an exam you have to fail first!

Sorry, I didn't explain it very well in my OP, but my motivation for starting this thread was outrage that an offender, any offender, should be convicted and sentenced and then have the temerity to step outside court and be allowed to diminish his crime or pretend that he hadn't done it.

I can't imagine that it would happen in the event of any other crime.

In fact, it didn't even happen in the case of Max Clifford. But now I'm thinking about it, maybe that was because Clifford was taken into immediate custody and couldn't grandstand on the steps of the court.

It's not just Dave Lee Travis who doesn't think it matters, is it?

I don't have a problem with him being allowed to hoist himself by his own petard...

SevenZarkSeven · 26/09/2014 22:36

Oh.

I'm glad you clarified that.

I genuinely thought you started this thread to complain about Barabara Windsor.

Grin

And YES WTF he's an absolute cunt isn't he and it's worth bearing in mind they didn't reach a verdict on another allegation and not all allegagtions against him cam to trial and there were lots of allegations lots and lots and lots. Still bearing in mind they were allegations, obviously.

Plus of course he has just stood outside a courtroom and said that he does not consider cornering women and fondling them intimitely to be a problem at all. So, there's that.

Creepy pervy fucking lehcerous old bastard.

RufusTheReindeer · 26/09/2014 22:38

yonic

Dammit!!!!

I don't think it should be allowed, I think the judge should be able to jail anyone, who once found guilty, comes out with such a load of self serving bollocks

Clawdy · 26/09/2014 22:44

How can he smugly say "I'm glad it's been proved I am not a sexual predator", when it's been proved he is exactly that. Hateful man.

PetulaGordino · 26/09/2014 22:48

the judge said that his assault was "intentional and unpleasant". dlt is "mortified" that he was convicted (not that he carried out the assault)

revolting

limitedperiodonly · 26/09/2014 22:56

I'm conflicted about Babs SevenZarkSeven.

Though I disapprove of her endorsement of gambling and the Kray twins, I like her work in the Carry On series, particularly in Carry On Spying, which is my favourite of the genre.

But whatever I thought of her craft, I certainly wouldn't let Babs's conduct distract me from the core fact that Dave Lee Travis Is.A.Convicted.Sex.Offender.

I know I said I'd ignore him, but is NuttyRutty back? Smile

I spent 90 minutes with the former Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis last Thursday and I don’t think there is a part of my body that he didn’t grope. He fondled my foot, inched his hands up my thighs, tried to make me sit on his lap and kissed me. He copped a feel of my hips when I foolishly asked for a tour of his studio, stroked my chin and my back and gave me a full body hug as I left. I know he has a reputation for flirting — but honestly, he is nearly 70

From Camilla Long's 2012 article. He couldn't have possibly not known what he was doing. Vile creep.

FrontForward · 26/09/2014 23:03

Vile man and it's disgusting that he has been given air time to try and defend himself

I heard the journalist being interviewed on Jeremy Vine this week. DLT sounds like a dirty old man.

I used to love his radio show as well.

gincamparidryvermouth · 26/09/2014 23:17

He is a sex offender. He sexually assaults women as a matter of course. He is a worthless piece of shit.
