RIP Freddie Starr

[Dave7]

Don't you slander my hero Danger Mouse

I dont think he meant Danger Mouse. I think he meant, ohhh got it. A bit slow but I got there

I thought he had been cleared of all allegations. Unless you know something that everyone else doesnt?

Freddie made it clear years ago that he had never eaten a rodent But what a great headline.

Read the link. The judge said the victim was telling the truth.

Can we all agree that it is never right for a grown man in a position of power to sexually assault a girl?

Not right for anyone to sexually assault a minor full stop

Whatever his character, he could be brilliant -

Apparently he was doing exactly the same act in the 1990s that he was doing in the 1970s, younger people didn't understand his characters. Older people had seen it all before.

I went to see him in the 80's in Sheffield. Went back two years later and his act was exactly the same.

The Sun's headline is 'Freddie joins his hamster' with a ragout of their famous front page.

Top tabloid journalism.

Freddie Starr was a talentless nobber, winging it without a script (and don't give me that "Oh, but it was so funny when he dressed up as Hitler" spiel). I'm glad the hamster got its revenge.

Sad that you feel the need to rejoice in somebody's death

Sad to read he had six daughter s, none of which speak to him. RIP old fella.

I bet they will speak to his solicitor when the will is read.
If that is true though it is indeed sad. To use the phrase again, he was complex and did offend some (many?) people. A sad end for a talented person.

He was also a pervert with a predilection for teenage girls. Sorry but this must not be forgotten in the haze of 1970s nostalgia.

I think you have made that clear. How many sticks do you need to hit a dead man with?

Sexually abusing people is probably enough all on its own, thanks. No more sticks required.

I simply can’t understand why people are celebrating the life of a sexual predator. Surely we wouldn’t start a thread praising Jimmy Saville. Or would some people?

Think of that woman, whose life he ruined.

I'm not rejoicing, I think you need to recalibrate your prejudices.
