Why do some have a tendency to behave badly when they think no one is looking?

How easy it is to 'fall from grace'. Goodbye RH & may your feet go with you!

The Judge in the Rolf Harris has sentence the disgraced star to a jail term of 5 years and 9 months.

Pathetic!! :-| :-|

He should have got the max.

With remissions etc, he could be out in two or three years; meanwhile, his victims have to live with a lifetime sentence.

5 years 9 months

Won't get back into OZ due to sex crimes. Now there's an irony!


Sue, I'm sure I read that he would be stripped of his awards. His paintings, I believe remain his property unless sold. Also read that it is believed his portrait of the queen probably went back to him.

He should lose the CBE,MBE and all the other recognition he has got from al governments.

And I would burn all his paintings and books

RH, affectionately (?) known in Oz as 'the boy from Bassendean' (a town in the Perth area), has lost that title:

Interesting!

Just Googled EGH and one name sprang out. A certain MP for Rochdale, now deceased.

This person's name has also cropped up in relation to abuse of boys at a Rochdale Special Needs School, Knowl Vale

Having proved to us all that he has the backbone of a jellyfish, he failed to fess up to his dastardly deeds.

It wouldn’t surprise me if he appeals.

He wont ever get back in OZ with sex crimes behind him........only in ash form I suspect........what a shame at his time of life hes turned out to be this person no one would have suspected of a total foul mind......as I've always said,,,,,,,,from a crown to pauper they are no different under their trousers/skirts than him/her down any road.......

its was said he is his wifes sole carer ! and she will suffer because he will be locked up...........well sorry there is two daughters or employ someone.......they have enough cash I'm sure........I think he will get a couple of year max.....
