Not read the whole thread but how come Bill Wyman never got the knock on the door with his widely publicised relationship at 47 with the teenage girl Mandy Smith ?

Lack of a complainant, presumably.

I guess there will be damp patches, dark couds and a serious risk of ice in the Talbot household.

[dudleybloke]

Not his first time in the dock.

They've known about Fred for years - I was told back in the 90s by someone in GMP that he was dodgy.

Fred's police interview:

(Fred has replied 'No comment' to every answer so far)

Police officer (showing Fred a diary): Is that your handwriting?

Fred: No comment.

Police officer (reading from diary and struggling to read the handwriting): After lunch we went to a quarry...on...Blackford Hill?

Fred (looking at diary): Yes, I think so.

Police officer: At 5pm I left the hall and met everyone at...?

Fred: Ooooooooh...Deacons?

Police officer: That evening, at 10pm, we went to...?

Fred: Oh God! My handwriting was dreadful! Black something in two cars?

Police officer: So that is your writing then?

Fred: No comment.

I forecast frequent, isolated showers.

With deep depressions and sudden squalls in the dogger bank.

Have you guessed how much he's earned yet?

But wait! How can cons be earning MORE than the minimum wage rate? That's not fair.

Someone at MSN is trying to replicate the Daily Fail and not succeeding, so the story is person with assets and money still earns money from assets while inside, shocker

Just heard on R4 that those who knew,even those in positions of power cannot be prosecuted providing they simply turned a blind eye.

I'm not in favour of creating extra law, by and large, but surely here is a gap that needs filling.

No NIPs for them then.

Cameron was on about making it an offence not to report child abuse after the death of Daniel Pelka. Perhaps he needs a reminder of what he said?

It's everyone elses fault apparently but nobody in particular is to blame. Lessons have been learnt however.

That's a relief then...

[Langweilig]

From what I heard on Radio 5 Live. His disgusting, perverted behaviour was reported to hospital staff. Their response was, "Don't worry. We know he's like that. Just ignore him."

May I make so bold as to ask if there's such a thing in UK law, as "guilt by association?"

[spikeyhead]

It really should be possible to stretch it to aid and abetting.

A soldier got a VC for their valour in Helmand defending great British values like these.
