In reality you do not have to actually watch the soaps to know what goes on in them. My TV magazine has the main "plots" headlined on the cover and through several features inside. Many TV chat shows harp on about the soaps, and there are the numerous trailers, etc.
Do I gather from your comment that when you contribute to a thread about child pornography you do have some direct experience of it?? Or does your commenting rule only apply to others.
I re-read my post and cannot find anything "accusatorial" within it.

It's a good point JK. Thinking back to that Dirty Den and Michelle story, him having sex with a gymslip Michelle was part of his 'bad boy' pinup image, a very similar relationship is replayed in 2008 and its all about paedophilia and child molestation.
Incredible to think how social mores can be changed in the space of a few years by a concerted witchhunt and media generated hysteria. Only 10 years or so ago and every heterosexual man in England was drooling over 15/16 year old tennis sexpot Anna Kournikova. Recently I watched a DVD of Jasper Carrot/Robert Powell's 'the Detectives' (brilliant) BBC comedy from the 90's and basically a running joke throughout the whole series is that Powell's character has a bit of a thing about girls in school uniform.

Your comment was a tad accusatorial. From someone who never watched the show i fail to understnad how you can comprehend any opinon. One could apply the word "if" to any thread without any knowledge whatsoever.

as the tabloids can't get enough of this stuff-why is anyone complaining ?
On Holy Moly there's a story about GG:
Jeremy Kyle show
"I usually watch Fern & co in the morning but this time caught the end of Jeremy Kyle. I was appalled to see a bunch of kids dancing about to Gary Glitters song 'Rock n Roll'.
"Personnelly I would bring back public hanging for the likes of him, but what do you do; play one of his hits - for which no doubt he receives royalties - and worse still you do it over footage of kids dancing. If he saw that he'll probably be laughing himself stupid while banging one out to it. Please justify your actions"
