Jim Davidson Arrested By Yewtree Officers

[sp1814]

Do you think that Jim Davidson has a point:

"Everyone is now an expert. Just pick someone you don’t like and say it’s them. So I’ll be the first one to knock it on the head and belt up. How’s about that then?”

sp1814,Its not what you know,its who you know.

Am I the only person in Britain who hasn't been abused by someone?At least I don't think I was.

//why have so many people waited this long//

Because they were often children at the time and have lived with it for many years. They might have thought they were the only ones and that they'd done something wrong. Fear of retribution or disbelief.....do I really need to explain all this giveup?

[DTCwordfan]

Absolutely, maidup.....

[giveup]

I feel nothing but sympathy for the real victims but I am still sure there are a few people jumping on the bandwagon,and what about the ones reported to the police who did nothing,surely they(the police) should be held to account.

[netibiza]

The problem is that now there is no proof of some of these alleged assaults.

[DTCwordfan]

You are also right, giveup, with that woman as to "sex" with John Peel - she said she had dropped him in it inadvertently - after all would a 15 year old pipe up "Hello, I am under age"..............

[giveup]

Quite honestly how could anybody fancy half of them anyway.Its quite sad really,I suppose it was their equivalent of 15 minutes of fame.

[giveup]

Mind you,the more that goes on,the more the words "headless chicken" come to mind.

[jno]

giveup, if you have any confessions to make about headless chickens, you've come to the right thread.

[Maydup]

giveup giveup! Victims rarely fancied their abusers!

[DaisyNonna]

Any police doing anything else?

[giveup]

I was talking generally maidup, I've still got an eye for a handsome man,the spirits still willing.

Apparently the investigations have three streams and Jim Davidson's arrest is not directly associated with the JS claims.

At this time, we need to be careful, because we don't know what he's charged with, and of course, he may be completely innocent.

As he has already said, all it would take is someone who hates you making allegations to the police...

...and with Jim Davidson, 'someone who hates you' is a fairly large constituency.

I know Jim, and I know Dave Lee Travis. I really do not believe they did that.Its unfair to name some and not others Savile was evil, but these guys are not

[DTCwordfan]

And sp, what have I said between this and another thread..................tut

[sherrardk]

To be fair Beattie, don't expect they would tell you if they had done something (not saying they have but they are hardly going to go around with it emblazoned on a t-shirt or something).

[sandyRoe]

I sure Davidson can depend on his friend, 'Chalkey', to give a glowing character reference.
