So abuse victims who didn’t come forward years ago should now keep quiet if their abusers are dead or “too old to be a threat”? When is a man too old to be a threat?

I had an older cousin who was an only child and was spoilt rotten. She always had the most exquisite dolls, the kind that you looked at and didn’t play with. One of my favourites was a black doll that had the…

The thing that bothers me about this story is why we spent years messing about with extradition, when we could just have tried him here, slung him in jail and avoided the whole circus.

We have gone through this ridiculous pantomime just so that the Americans can say he received American justice.

He could have been locked up…

You may think so but if it uncovers a paedophile ring – and it looks as though it may – then you’re going to look spectacularly stupid by making those kind of remarks.

apology to Terry, who may have read a post I deleted calling him an old woman.

I was trying to be smart, and as usual ended up being offensive and stupid.

I’m sorry if you read it.

There’s no need to apologise.

Freddie Starr has been named/shamed as being involved. He is denying any allegations made against him.

Is he offensive or racist?

Having not had a conversation with him, I wouldn’t know…

I’m clever! Not sure about the rest of them :)

You like to think you are, but whether anyone else thinks you are is another matter.
I don’t have the time or inclination to argue. Read my stuff if you want to and if you don’t like it jog on the way I jog on after reading yours.

I’ve got to go with the evidence and say Richard III is guilty and he murdered his nephews in order to consolidate his postion as King.

Women saying that ALL MEN are cowards and don’t recognise Truth. The same women like Vee and Mims who pontificate endlessly on boards about what great mothers they are and how their golden female offspring are more important than life itself.

The Magical Mystery Tour was an awful film that nearly ruined The Beatles’ reputation.
I blame McCartney – the brains behind it.

Richard, who was not war like, but really a bit bookish, was framed.

Don’t get Richard III mixed up with Richard Madeley. :roll:

So in your opinion, who was the best drummer in the Beatles?

Ringo.

There are too many things that do not add up.

Yes, your version of history being the main one.

@minim wrote:

From what I studied, the two boys and their older sister were being held by Henry Tudor. He betrothed himself to her in 1483, at which point he no longer needed the boys and killed them.

It was Richard who imprisoned the boys in the tower.
