The whole of seventies Britain is now beginning to look like David Peace made it up!

I was a bit surprised at all this because I'd heard that necrophilia rumour for so long - a bit jarring to put him into a different (& more real, hurtful) category of foulness.

I mean, how long ago was that Irvine Welsh story? 1994? 1995?

More shocked now by the jewish query than the necrophiliac one.

is it pedantic to wish Sun readers knew the difference between paedophiles and ephebophiles?

By their own standards, the Sun was for many years the UK's biggest publisher of paedophile porn.

xpost true tale..
back whenever, they did a page 3 series for girls *on* their 16th birthday.
Until someone pointed out that all of their models must have done their sessions before they were 'legal' then.
They shut the series immediately.

Janet Street-Porter has said publicly that they all knew about it in 1987 when she started at the BBC but she was too junior to do anything about it.
Krishnan Guru-Murphy has just dropped her in it by pointing out she was commissioning editor for youth programming, so not exactly junior and in fact gave him his first job at the Beeb in 1987 hosting a teenage discussion panel. The guest? Jingle Jangle Jewellery Jim himself.

Yes, I remembered this quote when relating it to my wife a couple days ago. Forgot who said it though.
Did anyone see the story that was in 'times 'weekend? The original story had people signified by initials: JS, G and F.
JS has now been identified as JimSav, G = Gltter, F has not been named for "legal reasons"
Could that only be because F is still alive? If not.. I think I have a good idea .. and that's all I'm saying I guess...
― Mark G, Tuesday, 9 October 2012 15:21 (eleven years ago) link
F is freddie starr, he tried to take out an injunction, it was overturned, he's been in meltdown denying it ever since.

The Jim'll Fix It and Top Of The Pops presenter was buried in a gold coffin at a 45-degree angle at the cemetery, facing the sea, at his own request.The coffin was later encased in concrete as a "security measure" amid speculation about its contents.

they spelled chieftain wrong, unless they meant he was "chief tan" due to his sunbed face. or it's some localised scots spelling.
