By Brendan O'Reilly, published 7/7/2014

There are many others, including founder of the boy scouts Baden-Powell, Field Marshall Montgomery, and authors J M Barrie and Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), who were also believed to have had had an unhealthy interest in children.

< I am no fan of paedophiles or of those who sexually assault women or adolescents. I do, however, think that we all have good and bad sides to our characters, and that, if we dismiss the artistic or other work of all those with known dark sides, we will end up shunning some of the great achievements of humanity. >

Absolutely.

< I can't help thinking that the reaction against Harris has been heightened because another celebrity, Jimmy Savile. >

< Harris clearly did not go nearly as far as Saville. >

Not by a million miles.

Thankyou Brendan for putting this issue into its true perspective.

I have to wonder how much or to what degree the sentiments expressed here are responsible for the depravities of celebrities and other high profile individuals.
It seems many of these individuals firmly believe they are either above the law, or their contributions entitle them to exceptional status. Our politicians clearly and firmly believe they 'deserve' the extraordinary sums we pay them to represent us -despite not being representative of us.
From a moral standpoint, ends never justify means.

PS, "ouevre"? Misspelling fancy words rather detracts from the arty-farty effect methinks.

Rolf Harris's conviction has certainly put his achievements under a cloud but just how we should react to the other celebrities names is vary much a case by case basis..

In Lewis Carroll's (Charles Dodgson's) case, although he certainly had an interest in children which later generations would describe as unhealthy.. he did not hurt or molest them/feel them up or any of the things Harris did. He did nothing illegal then and possibly nothing that would be considered illegal now.. (taking pictures of naked children with their consent - dunno how that travels now). None of the children later complained.

Whatever urges he had, he restrained himself. Harris didn't, and he deserves jail, and his body of work should go under a cloud for some years.

ITS NOT BEING PREACHY ITS JUST THE WAY IT IT
scum floats with the cream
till after naturally dying/they get sorted

let god decide
do nt despoil your reality looking at the unclean/obscene
its not fun if it hurts/by their works/and only the vile works go to hell/where more of that ye gave unto others is done unto thee 70 fold

thus dont stain your own soul/by judging anyone
lets god judge/but he in his wisdom/simplt gives more of what you gave

its not rocket science
god=mercyfull/the demons sought much worse
and dam angels only ever seeking to give grace show mercy and support the bit of our beloved god/that needs reside in such evil space/sustaining their vile living reveals his grace

damm preacing
but really/at least look at the plan/sent down
refute that one/if you can\judge ye no-man/nor woman/allow the their innocence/WE ALL DONT NEED UNDERSTAND/only the evil go to/hell
