Disgusting from him. Would never have thought it though.

A friend thinks this is the present prosecuting the past, but for what reason, he can't say. But there is a strange sense of revenge being visited upon perpetrators of acts that were somehow accepted (although clearly wrong) by a more puritannical (or self-righteous) ethic.
I wonder if in 30 years we won't be seeing Johnathan Ross or Keith Lemon arrested for saying 'fuck' on telly.

It's an example. Try to extrapolate the point. Good grief.Scareye said:hackneyslim said:I feel very sad that Hall has turned out to be guilty of these offences.

Are you really wondering that? Really??

I'm pretty sure the above offences are the thin end of the wedge.
In a nutshell, which is why he has pleaded guilty to lesser offences at the first opportunity to get his sentence reduced.
The last thing he needed was for the truth to come out in open court.
Which is why I doubt he will go to prison.

He fondled a 9 year old child ! When in the past was that 'accepted' ?
