    I never "got" inheritances. Your parent's responsibilities are to feed, clothe, love you, and put you on as best a road as they can as regards education.

    To even expect to inherit something that they have worked all their lives for seems really self-entitled.

    Stand on your own two feet and make of your life what you will.

    Reading that somewhat passive aggressive email shows up what sort of person she is.

    Exactly. And yeah, it IS passive aggressive.

    I'm always of the opinion that you should plan like you're not getting an inheritance. Anything else does seem, well yeah, grasping. I always find it distasteful. Just me though.

    Of course its not just you, most people would find it grasping and most people I know would operate on the assumption that they're solely responsible for their financial future.

    But if she's been led to believe she'll have no money worries on a number of occasions, it might be understandable for her to seek clarification. As I said, it can be interpreted either way and I'm usually inclined to give people the benefit of the doubt, even if I don't like their approach to things.

    All the time I was reading it, I was thinking "What are you doing to safeguard your OWN future?" Especially as she would have had a privileged childhood. It's not important in the scheme of this story of course.

    Another disgraceful and shameful case of a stictch up on an older white male by a misandrous criminal prosecution service.

    Today 12 compensation claims were lodged and this is the real story that forms the motivations and heart of this campaign that has continued since the Savile claims.

    No evidence is being brought to court. None whatsoever. Only the word of thesse accusers, mostly found as a result of the Police begging people to come forward and make accusations.

    An amazing, talented and compassionate man is having his life destroyed and his family destroyed on the bonfire of modern hate filled feminism.

    Are you joking? Did you not read his letter of apology? Yes he said that she was of a "consensual" age but the letter's tone shouts something completely different.

    So feminism is to blame because Rolf Harris is a f*cking nonce? Yeah that makes loads of sense.

    He was convicted of indecently assaulting a '7 or 8' year old as well.

    You're right.

    He's the victim here.

    Where was this reported? I'm sure they'll follow, but I didn't read anywhere that they were lodged already.

    No. You just give license to people to lie in court.

    I think all the women in the world could accuse Harris of the same thing, and you'd prefer to think of each and every one of them as liars rather than allow the simple, court revealed truth that Harris is a sexual predator.

    Just because they're women doesn't mean they're lining up to lie. Just because he's a man doesn't mean he's a victim of the feminist illuminatti that apparently rule the world.

    Meanwhile, in the real world, the rest of us are getting along fine together.

    You do see the odd bit of lunacy defending Jimmy Savile and insisting he didn't do it, because it's women who alleged he abused them, and women can't be trusted, and Savile was an oppressed white, christian man.
    So it's not surprising that there's gonna be similar crazy expressed in relation to Rolf Harris. It's not even funny, it's just disturbing. And it's very telling about people who'd say such stuff.

    What are you basing this on other than the fact you think he was "amazing, talented and compassionate"?

    Where did the feminists all meet up to plan his downfall?

    Did you know him personally or do you just think all "older white men" are by default innocent?

    Do you think Jimmy Saville is an innocent victim too?

    Their warped imagination... is the answer to both.

    Well, the jury must have disagreed as he was convicted on all charges.

    Including some women, e.g. check out a blog called Anna Raccoon.

    Go on then I'll bite - its a joke? Trying to be edgy? What?

    Who the fuck is the "amazing, talented and compassionate man", you surely don't mean Savile?

    I'm keeping my Rolf memorabilia. Rolf basically got me into animation and animals, and I am a fan of his wonderfully eccentric songs. These allegations have only slightly soured my love for him.

    Here's why, yes the man has been convicted and found guilty, but we should judge the art not the artist.
    Suddenly finding out something horrible about their pasts should not, if you are a sensible individual in control of your own emotions, encourage you to pretend that you never liked anything they did, go 'off on one' about it on public forums and in newspapers, or, in the extreme case, get into shops and smash their work up. Such behaviour not only achieves nothing, but borders on zealotry. Admittedly, it's all very easy to get caught up in the furore while it's going on, but if you stand back from the tapestry, which we will all do in a few years, then a clearer view should become apparent. Not that we can 'forgive', but we can move on.


    On television, the films of OJ Simpson are in regular syndication, and yet we know he is a jailed killer. You can also go into shops and buy the work of Ike Turner, a drug-taking, thieving, wife-beating, thoroughly despicable individual, yet his records are still bought and you can still hear them being sung on karaoke nights. Leslie Grantham is a convicted murderer, and yet we watched and (in some cases) loved him every week in EastEnders. Goodness knows what they were involved in, but we still enjoy their work, and so we should of Rolf. Our opinion may have changed of him as a person, but we should remove his work, at least, not forever, because he has written in my opinion some of the most entertaining, charming songs and acts. And his Stairway to Heaven is possibly the greatest parody of a song ever created. He may be sick, but his work is certainly not, and should be enjoyed by generations to come.

    If I am being a troll, I am not being deliberate. I am being honest.

    PLus certain things in the trial don't add up. There's evidence that at least two of the allegations are false.

    Thankfuly I have no Rolf memorabilia - I always thought of him as a bit of a harmless and benign dick.

    I have revised that view.

    PLus certain things in the trial don't add up. There's evidence that at least two of the allegations are false.
    So you have evidence that was not presented to the court? Or that was presented to the court but it chose to discount it? You have decided that two of the allegations were false?
    If I am being a troll, I am not being deliberate. I am being honest.
    This certainly has all the appearance of trolling.
