Now everyone (see Mirror, Sun and even Guardian - read below)... has realised... the way to find great stories with little or no work and effort is to print rubbish about DEAD people!

They won't sue - so you can say what you like. The BBC, delighted too by this discovery, has just revealed a Scottish school (closed twenty years ago) was a hotbed of sex abuse (mainly by dead people).

Now I'm not suggesting the poor sweet innocent victims of abuse from half a century ago are lying. Just that a) this was standard behaviour in all schools way back then, b) it was then called "curiosity" not abuse, c) most teachers had nothing to do with it at all - it was just boys and girls of similar ages investigating in a closed community and d) the ravages of time and imagination provoke enormous alterations and exaggerations in memories especially e) when lots of compensation is involved.

I'm waiting for the Ted Heath scandal (PM was clearly non sexual but had definite gay inclinations... where are all the "Prime Minister raped me" claims?)

And very soon the non-sexual scandals will start... Harold Wilson stole millions type crap. Full newspapers without a single visit to a source or phone call.

Fictional news. It's fabulous. And the public are stupid enough (or, actually, don't give a shit) to believe them and get titillated by them.

Agatha Christie was, in fact, that era's Kate Adie!

i think you are correct..

as for MWT Ms Raccoon has revealed he is not even a criminologist yet.

lying about qualifications used to be the kiss of death.

And any truth that he's selling the BBC an expose on Coronation Street? ITV will be delighted.

Although I trust it will be many years hence, I can imagine the onslaught of lies, and accusations against JK. Your troll accusers must be 'champing at the bit' for their pieces of silver from the media

watch out for the fireworks next year when the 'hey dad' actor goes to trial in Oz for alleged abuse of 'soapie stars'.

Waxy Maxie looks quite saintly compared to the 'publicist/agent' who has already sold their 'stories' to the media. I am astonished he has put himself in the frame but he isn't the brightest spark. he'll rue the day he got involved.

I expect an acquittal.Fortunately the man's wife, a high profile agent who looks after numerous Oz stars like Cate Blanchett has stood by the accused as have the stars despite attempts by the media to 'shame' them.

Dead people cannot sue !!!

I'm rather bothered with this fact (that I've conveniently lost the link too, but anyway here goes):

The shoddy/threw together awful, corrupt original documenatary a la JS with "Mr" Williams-Thomas was completed in July 2012.

One report at the time said "We don't even know if this will see the light of day on TV, but it's be completed by Mark Williams-Thomas, an ex-detective & "criminologist" (the final bit, like Hedda says, bollocks). "Being made by an Independant company, he hopes to sell it to a major TV channel & is open for offers".

So, would I not be surprised that ITV approached them, to put the BBC in the shit? Very likely.

As there is a run of suspicious oiwks, of various ladettes & lads that went to various schools for the non too clever or were tearaways, anyway & it seems apparent that MWT is neither too clever himself (except in making easy money out of trash & dead people). Then what is his background? What school did he go to? And how were his exam results (if he did any)? When did he leave school? And what did he do, before he became Detective Thick? Was becoming a member of the PC Police, a cop out? Do you need to be at all clever to join the Police, anyway? And did MWT want to be a Popstar or DJ/TV star, but didn't get the breaks? Is he not so dis-similar to somebody like Gary Glitter, who was a runaway from school & a tad thick, too? Similar again to anyone that tells lies about someone that did make it, like Jimmy Savile (who was taught at the University Of Life, rather than going to Eton)?

An ex flatmate was publicly educated in a 'progressive co educational independent school' and said that the kids were at it constantly - the teachers couldn't control it and no matter how hard they tried, the kids were still having it off with each other.

Well it destroyed 'Doctor' Gillian McKeith.

no-one will ever stop childhood sexual 'experiments' either with each other or with older persons. Hormones cannot be controlled except by drugs.

But as people get older and if they are bitter or dis-illusioned with their life they look back to seek a cause or for someone to blame.

I have a repeated argument with sane people who push the "your life has been rooned' barrow asking what message that sends to the next genuine rape victim : after all they will repeatedly hear it.

MWT couln't have been that bright if it took 9 years to become a DC and as one for only 9 months it's fair to ask why he left the force. Seems very odd. It wasn't for a great new job and people rarely give up the benefits of a secure job.

Perhaps he was pushed out or paid out?

Never heard of a Copper feeling the need to jump into Press related Media, after retiring from the Force. Did know one that became a Baptist Minister. Though he didn't last long doing that. Guess a pigheaded ego in Church, doesn't fit! Though you could teel, just by looking at him, he had done time in the Force.

MWT looks a prat anyway. Kind of person that looks like he works in the catering industry. A likely company manager in the industry, who aren't too clever either. Can just imagine him saying "You can't come in here, you're not wearing a tie". Or giving you a tie, when they employ you to wash up. Now why do they do that? Especially, when there is a waste disposal!
