It amuses me to think that Mr King, inspired by his many hits under various names, posts under several different nom de plumes and using different personalities. Silencing him has silenced a whole throng!

Well you said what I was thinking and what I had thought was going on here shame really.

Plenty of posts,but you must ask the Moderators why they are not published.

I was only joking. I think maybe people are frightened of saying something to prejudice the trial, some frustrated by the longer wait for the posts to be published, and of course some might have been put off by the allegations as reported in the paper, which were pretty revolting, and no defence reports to counteract them.
I hope it picks up soon.

Could it be also be a case of the lull before the storm? The authorities have been quick to respond to the 2016 holiday food-poisoning epidemic but still seem reluctant of acknowledging that a similiar kind of scenario exists in relation to historical abuse claims.

There is indeed an element of caution in place at the moment, the desire of many people to speculate about the nature of what took place in JK's courtroom has to be tempered by the need to stay on the right side of contempt and the reporting restrictions that remain in place. The reasons for that will become clear in time.

There's also the small issue of the restricted activity of our host, this messageboard often driven by his own postings and the debates which emerge from that. But he's at present unable to do anything online other than communicating by email. So I'm afraid this board has to be quieter.

any proof of this allegation or just anotrher false accusation?

perhaps many posters think itr prudent to remain quiet while an important court case is happening.

I certainly do but sometimes erroneous claims must be addressed.

Dont be silly Hedda! it was just a lighthearted comment and very obviously not true!

Sunniest UK weather for a long time, is occupying people.

Blackpool, Brighton and Bournemouth beaches were totally jammed yesterday.

And will be today.


Then there's the world's biggest sporting event - just gone into the knockout stages.


Holidays too have to be fitted in - or cancelled/changed. What's the logic in going abroad, to the sun?


Wimbledon also - etc., etc.

To be honest I think people are worried to post here in case
1 they say the wrong thing while trial is on.
2 they are worried the police will come knocking looking for supporters of JK.
3 that the posts are just not getting past moderation
4 none of the above.
5 I fully support JK in his trial and am not knocking him.
6 I hope the court see through any false allegations.
7 it's beyond reasonable doubt.
