honey!oh sugar sugar.
I am afraid the following quote from Dr Jon Bird reveals the motive behind many complaints.
Quote.
“This claim is completely disgusting, and on a deeply personal level I am both hurt and offended - as I am sure many other victims will be.
"I have spent years undergoing therapy trying to come to terms with what happened to me, while he has enjoyed the privileged life of a well-paid television actor on Coronation Street.
End quote.
"bring things upon themselves"... if you believe in past lives, that makes sense. "Deserved it"? To me a totally different thing - except that's how the media works. Nudge the truth, colour the words, sneak a few levels of extreme in... it's a better story.
Wonderful link, Honey, as it illustrates the gradual Chinese whispers that the media specialises in... a better story is less "open" so "implies" becomes "says" and so it goes on. Next we'll be reading of him boasting that he's buggered millions of babies in the last week.

Mr Roache has gone up in my estimation. Maybe his wisdom is what keeps him looking so young?
