Where's Rolf?

Oh I agree, but their support for rolf was nothing to do with that, it was based purely on an unwillingness to believe one of their childhood idols could possibly have been sat there with an erection while drawing pictures of those cartoons for kids

I dont recall any of them leaping to the defence of max clifford for example

Nope. Unless I have seen evidence I try and take innocent until proven guilty as a principle, even for people we already knew who were bastards like Jim Davidson and Max Clifford. I just wouldn't have entered a discussion about Max Clifford in the first place as he isn't playing Glastonbury...

What exactly is your point here? No, I did not want to believe that Rolf was a peado, but regardless of this outcome, I will still have the exact same reaction as before the next time somebody I like gets accused of being a peado. Would you rather we all just turned on people every time they have accusations leveled against them?

Nobody's defended Max Clifford because we have no reason to, he's a nob, but we're not saying he is a peado, innocent until proven guilty applied to him, too. The difference is that nobody cares enough about Max to point it out.

I remember in 2010 he had a 'glamourous' assistant who had to strut across stage shaking her arse everytime Rolf needed an instrument brought to him. He spent to whole time stating at her & leering. Obviously she was an adult, but it struck me at the time as a bit weird. Showed he was still a very sexual man.

I'm sad, but can't say I'm shocked

Of all of the cases this is the one I really want to fall apart. Still a bit shocked.

Considering the first arrest happened long ago there's been plenty of time for people to come forwards, so at least we can hope for no new horrors unlike the seemingly unending line of Saville victims. I just couldn't process that horror involving rolf

    • How much is Burnham's success down to Manchester getting a shitton of investment for public transport infrastructure?   There's no doubt he did the work, but the money dumped into Manchester for him to achieve that was huge - the most of any infrastructure project outside London ever. Did that need a mayor, or just the money?
    • Sounds good tbh. 
    • Bristol was the only city in 2012 that voted for a mayor. We had a local independent who was popular, then Marvin Rees won and was so corrupt that Bristol voted to get rid of the position - having just had the WECA mayor position put in place as well.
    • They built a watering system and have been watering the island for the past few weeks to reduce dust, but given the current drought, there will still be dust. They will cover twice as much ground around the main stage with those plastic panels as they did before. They couldn't book Gogol Bordello because the singer was afraid the government would allow Russian security services to capture him if he entered the country. They didn't have much room to be selective about artists. They booked whoever they could get. This year's Sziget will be only about 50% of his original vision. He wanted a dedicated rock stage. They are preparing for a loss of 1.5 billion HUF this year. For some reason, student tickets are not selling in the numbers they had expected. He said that when he talks about the lineup being less important, he doesn't mean Sziget should have a weaker lineup than Primavera. Rather, it should have a similarly strong lineup combined with much more non-musical programming, so people from abroad come here to see the same artists but have a completely different overall experience. He didn't miss Sziget and originally wanted to spend no more than two days a week dealing with it, but now he's working on it full-time and has handed over control of the rest of his businesses.  
    • Well the point seems to be 22.7% turn out doesn't suggest the majority are rushing out to support the mayoral system.
