Never heard of the guy but if he's a pedophile he died 90 years too late.

Never heard of the guy but if he's a pedophile he died 90 years too late.

He'd be more known to people in the UK and Ireland, he's one of them celebs from the 70's - 90's who was protected until the sting operation revealed him.

 

[AJUMP23]

I don't know who this is.

 

[MudoSkills]

I hope when they ask for the autopsy report they say 'can you tell what it is yet?'

 

[nush]

I don't know who this is.

Just another British celebrity pedo from the BBC. Except he's Australian. I'm sure that recent documentary about him pushed him over the edge.

 

[MudoSkills]

For the Americans, imagine if Bob Ross also made terrible music and fucked kids.

Rest in Hell you BBC nonce

 

[winjer]

I knew about Jimmy Saville. I didn't know about this one.
Is the BBC some pedo infested nest?

"Children loved him and parents were willing to leave their children with him because they believed they were safe."

Dumbfuck parents leaving their kids with a celeb because celebs never sin. Goodness fucking gracious.

BBC light entertainment of the 70's and 80's sure was. I'm sure the only reason more of them were not exposed was because they already died.

 

[AlteredForms]

Harris was one of those presenters alongside Jimmy Saville that were banging underage girls back in the 70s. Hopefully they both burn in Hell for their crimes and eat piss and shit for the entirety of their miserable existences in the underworld.

I know that the BBC direction hid Saville's pedo streak. That was the reason why people only found out after he died.

 

[IDKFA]

I hope he suffered.

Good riddance. Nasty disgusting animal.

 

[Lord Panda]

Wolf in zany sheep's clothing. At least he didn't get away with it, unlike Saville and no doubt countless others.

 

[nush]

Good riddance. Nasty disgusting animal.

Pedophillia should be an executable offense. There’s no fixing those degenerates. .

Yes.

Also the lid is about to be blown on Philip Schofield.

We really are pedo fucken island.

I see these disgusting people outing themselves on Twitter all the time and my only thought is thanks for making the list making easy. Hope they all get arrested and led to the hangman’s noose.

Pretty sure that's what they're inscribing on his tomb stone

He was popular when I was young with songs like, “Tie me kangaroo down sport”, which now has a different feel to it…

 

[TheInfamousKira]

That article just expressed to me how gullible collective society really is. Interview quotes talking about feeling cheated, or tricked, or like the emotions you have associated with said performer are false or damaged now.

It raises a lot of interesting potential for renewed conversation of concepts like "death of an author," and "separating artist from work," that last sprung up over the Rowling debacle. Granted, I'm not intending to specifically compare those two instances, since I think endangering children is far more common unfortunately than trans genocide or whatever.

But I'd argue that, at least in an entertainer-audience relationship, whatever Random Guy You'll Never Meet does in his free time, whether abhorrent or benevolent, it's usually immaterial to the work being offered. The usual example of "Hitler was an artist," applies. I'm not coming to the deceased guy's defense, child abuse dictates that he should have passed on several more yards of soil beneath where he ultimately did, but it does make you question...how many other beloved personalities have these kind of skeletons just barely buried in their closets?

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Can't be any worse than Jimmy Saville?

Anyways rest in hell asshole

 

[German Hops]

I wanna piss and shit on his grave.

 

[Drew1440]

Suprised he was still alive, only thing I can remember him was from Animal Hospital.

Permission granted.

 

[FunkMiller]

As both Brit, and Australian, this is delightful news for us all in both nations.

According to Wikipedia his greatest hit was "Two little boys". I think he was trying to tell us something.
