    TV host Paul O’Grady yesterday hit out at the number of showbiz stars arrested over sex claims, insisting it had become a farce.
    O’Grady, 57, said the accusations against famous faces such as veteran Rolf Harris, 83, had turned into a “celebrity circus”.
    The Lily Savage star said: “It’s not about the victim. It’s about ‘Look who has done it now. Look it’s another dirty old man’.
    “The real villains are getting away with murder. Half of them I don’t believe — Rolf Harris for one. Who else are they going to destroy from my childhood? Andy Pandy? Bill and Ben the Flower Pot Men?”
    He insisted cops should not name stars who are arrested. The comic said: “Whatever happened to being innocent until found guilty? It’s destroying their reputations.”

    They don't wanna be named and shamed, they probably shouldn't molest children or people unable to defend themselves. Scumbags.

    Perhaps they should be given due process before being named and shamed, you know....on the off chance that they're innocent

    Could we wait until they are found guilty before we name and shame them?

    How is his dress sense connected to his morality or even your morality?

    Its my personal opinion that a guy in a dress loses a certain amount of gravitas when lecturing about ongoing criminal investigations.

    What a stupid, idiotic post. Especially after reading the extract from O'Grady. Deaf ears is an understatement.

    I totally agree
    “The real villains are getting away with murder. Half of them I don’t believe — Rolf Harris for one. Who else are they going to destroy from my childhood?

    Someone should tell Paul O'Grady that Child Molesters ARE real villains. They are abhorrent scumbags who should rot in hell and if it means his childhood memories are upset then tough. He seems to think being a celebrity should give you some kind of immunity from justice - disgusting.

    He has a point, whether they are found innocent or not they will be marred with this for the rest of their lives. Fair enough if they are guilty but we dont know that they are.

    The thing is though it hasnt been proven that Rolf Harris molested anyone so in the eyes of the law and society he should not be seen as a child molester until its conclusively proven to be the case.

    This.

    He, and all the others who have been named before being even charged - never mind convicted - are ****ed for ever more if they turn out to be innocent of those allegations.

    Of course its not.

    But I would always take a guy in a suit more seriously on important matters than I would a guy in a skirt and high heels.

    As I said earlier, just my personal opinion.

    Fashion police over here ;) :pac:
    I am a lost cause when it comes to fashion.
    No fashion police force on the planet could rescue me:o

    That's not the point, though. Paul O'Grady states that "Half of them I don’t believe — Rolf Harris for one". Who is he to pronounce that the Police shouldn't do their job and investigate suspects where there is evidence against them? No one is above the law.

    OP, why not respond to previous posts instead of blindly thanking those (or that one) which agrees with your idiotic opening post?

    They do, needlessly IMHO.

    They have however studied long and hard to gain the qualifications to comment expertly on legal matters.

    O'Grady/Savage, not so much.

    Where is he saying the police shouldnt investigate it ? He's saying they shouldnt be paraded around in front of the world as villains and have their reputations ruined if they havent been convicted of anything.

    I like this dress, it has a lovely shawl too, but I don't think he carries the look so well. I'll bet Paul O'Grady would kill in this outfit! :) The cute red shoes are so adorable! :)
