Oz government network ABC TV is celebrating 40 years of their pop music show Countdown on which just about every pop rock star has appeared (including JK I believe) fronted by the inimitable ummming and ahhhinn Molly Meldrum.

Every rock star has lined up to do a camera plug for it- last week KISS plus Prince Charles introduced the show (he was amusing).

This week the show was introduced by Boy George, a convicted sex criminal who imprisoned a rent boy and went to jail (shurely shome mishtake- I'm prejudiced as George used to crash on my floor- wouldn't hurt a fly)

It shows the hysteria of the mob and why it so dangerous that they should be listened to let alone actually have an effect.

Ched Evans was singled out for quite vicious treatment by the ghastly wimmin's movement. They have a right to be heard but their successful nixing of Evans' career is frightening and dangerous and even worse...discriminatory and shows them to be petty , vindictive & selective power mad ratbags

Go mug a granny
Go break in a house.
Go steal a car
Go sell drugs to school kids
Go get your partner to take your speeding points

GO BURN DOWN A SCHOOL AND GET TEN YEAR sentence Kieren Parsons aka Stinson Hunter.

All can have a second chance, they made a mistake.
download some images of teenage girls etc and you must never work again, you must be visited by PPU officers unanounced when ever the feel like it.

Ched Evens may or may not made a mistake, he was found guilty so is a convicted rapist BUT now should be allowed to get on with his life and prove he can be a decent citizen.

Many sex offenders are oeople who made mistakes like burlers etc who are mainly multi offenders but still we do not have a burgler register or a drug dealer register, why not ?
All multi offending should be punished with a prison sentence, do it a second time, double the sentence and so on.
Police PPU spend far to much time looking after the 60k on the register, Ched Evens included, I doubt he can couggh without someone knowing so infact is highly monitored without PPU.
PPU officers easy to spot, male/female one has a bag over shoulder with the recording equip in and normally a Ford Focus ir Cmax.

Talking of which, here is the TOTP79 BBC4 are refusing to show this week - due to DLT compering it IN VOICEOVER ONLY (due to strike action)

Having reflected (I sat on the fence for some time about this) - I believe that banning him is the right thing to do.

Normally I would say when someone has "paid" for their crime they should be able to get on with their lives.

In this case however there are extenuating circumstances.

Football appeals to a (mainly) young male audience - and not very intelligent at that !!!! - so to show someone can merely pick up his highly paid career after such a crime is wrong.

Harsh maybe - but better that one person suffers, than give everyone the idea they can get "away" with what they want (merely by launching a Facebook campaign).
He let down the fans and his club.

Footballers - at that level - ARE role models and must accept the restrictions if they want to reap the benefits.

I remember local footballer Peter Swan being banned FOR LIFE for accepting bribes. Put that in context.

bloody Tories always sitting on fence.
