AN EXCELLENT WEBSITE. I WAS CURIOUS,SELF PROMOTION OF COURSE, BUT REGARDLESS OF ONE'S VIEWS ON YOUR ALLEGED CRIME, QUITE NOSTALGIC TO LOOK BACK ON THE VIDEOS OF THE 70S & 80S,

I WAS SURPRISED YOU WROTE "IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE" - A TAKE THAT COVER! ENTERTAINMENT USA WAS A BIG FAVOURITE OF MINE BACK IN THE 80S.
NOT TOO SURE YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE A SONG ABOUT ONE OF HISTORYS BIGGEST SERIAL KILLERS THOUGH!

WHATS YOUR VIEW ON THE X FACTOR? IF THINGS HAD GONE DIFFERENTLY FOR YOU,WOULD YOU SEE YOURSELF AS A PRODUCER OR JUDGE OF THIS TYPE OF SHOW?

OH, DIDNT UNDERSTAND THE "pervert" VIDEO.

A lot of people don't understand my videos, Paul, let alone my songs and lyrics.

I didn't write It Only Takes A Minute - just had the first big European hit with my version.

The Harold Shipman song is more about the media than about the Doctor.

Glad you're enjoying the site; we get 10,000 visitors a day and have done since it launched 8 years ago.

I echo what paul says: I admire the way you have tackled your problems head-on and not hidden away-as the media loves to demonize people until the cows come home.

JK: have you read Simon Napier Bell's :"Black Vinyl, White Powder" and if so what did you think of it ?

I thought it was a bloody good read..got me through a 22 hour plane flight.

Haven't read the SNB book yet but we remain friends and are due to have dinner soon when he flies in from Thailand (where he now lives).

What is rarely mentioned in praise of JK, is his ability in sympathy and time given to other peoples problems.

I think that if JK is able to appeal successfully, it may well open the floodgates to other people doing the same things.

Although I have never met JK, from his and other postings, I feel that he is genuinely trying to help other people as well.

Spot on Mike - the only reason I'm continuing to fight and appeal is that it would, if successful, open a Pandora's Box for others who cannot afford to take the fight all the way.

Mind you the return of my

I have lost faith in the judicial system to such an extent that I am not 100% confident that your convictions will ever be overturned, JK, but here's hoping. Who knows, surely the law of averages should dictate that they must get it right once in a while! It will be a great day if it ever happens.

In any case, I believe you have already been an inspiration to other victims of flawed justice. They may believe their lives are over, but looking at how you have come out of it with your head held high and with a positive approach should give them hope.

I'd like to think you could get far more than

Mind you JK, you should get a hefty interest rate on top of that.

It does make me wonder what would happen in the press if your appeal is successful. I would guess that you would get one of the 'alleged victims' selling their story to The Sun saying what a miscarriage it is.

Sorry to sound so cynical but that seems to be the way the press works.

On a positive note, I do sincerely hope that you are found innocent and other people can carry on the good work you have done.

Also nice to see what a good friend Simon Cowell providing your bail at the time.

Black Vinyl White Power is a very good book - including two or three quotes from you Jonathan (including one about the hairstyle of Arthur Scargill).

Well I have met Jonathan King. We met several times in the late 60's and early 70's when I was working at either Record Mirror or BBC Radios 1 & 2. I found him a guy of boundless enthusiasm, genuinely interested in music and the first head of a record company to care more about the artists than the profits.
AAs News Editor of a music paper (then, after a spell in TV and PR moving to the BBC) I never heard anyone say a bad word about him (except perhaps his singing voice).
I never heard any of the so-called rumours, which is odd as I heard plenty about others.
I still play his records. I still value his contribution to the industry and sincerely hope this decade finishes off better than it started for JK.

Thank you Rodney for those very kind words. Much appreciated.

I think you have highlighted a factor that few in the general public think about-the extraordinary legal costs a person incurs when defending themselves.

The police have unlimited funds and an accused often is at a real disadvantage.
