I knew George long before he was famous..lovely wit and nice guy (when not drugged)
I've pondered on the fact he isn't "disgraced" as celebs often are after some ordeal.
Who makes these rules?. Everyone is entitled to re-enter society after a stint inside, as a full citizen with all rights restored.
I've been reading the history of Australia's convict era (there weren't that many really) and how an enlightened British Governor decreed ex-convicts should re-enter society with full rights and encouragement, a lot to do with not creating a permanent criminal class.
And they did..some given land grants went on to become leading pastoral families, some became architects, lawyers, even magistrates and MPs.
Yet we've gone back wards unlike the Scandinavian countries who see the benefits in this.
## Is Boy George's thankful ability to peruse his career the fact it was a "gay" crime and therefore regarded as not so serious?
