mjmooney Posted June 17, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 17, 2013 BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall has been sentenced to 15 months in jail for sexually abusing girls. Hall, 83, of Wilmslow, Cheshire, admitted 14 offences that occurred between 1967 and 1985. One of the girls was nine years old when Hall assaulted her, Preston Crown Court heard. Judge Anthony Russell QC said Hall had a "darker side" and took advantage of his "status as a well-liked celebrity". The BBC said it was "appalled" that some of Hall's crimes took place in connection with his work at the corporation. The ex-BBC Radio 5 live summariser and It's A Knockout host initially insisted the allegations were "pernicious, callous, cruel and above all spurious". His barrister Crispin Aylett, in mitigation, told the court the former broadcaster had "all of 13" victims compared to Jimmy Savile's 1,300.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I've done that, I got bored of it. Being drunk is not my idea of a fun time. I don't get drunk anymore. A few pints to kill the nerves and I'm done. I talk absolute shite all evening (more than usual, yes) as a result but that's to be expected. But I share the feelings towards 'nights out'. Clubs and all that are incredibly dull, and they're also full of rocket polishers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) I would have done. Seriously. It can be risky interfering in other peoples' domestics, but I've done it before. I got involved once I had been in the pub watching the football and I was waiting for the bus to go home and I saw some bird all crouched up whilst some bloke was slapping and punching her in the back of her head, I went over told the bloke to **** off which he did, when the bird looked up at me her eyes were like saucepans she was obviously pilling out of her head. She got up and walked straight out in front of a bus so I pulled her back and after about 1/2 hour of trying to help her I waived a police car down to try and get them to help...that should have been the end of it but oh no, the police done a thorough search of me and accused me of giving her the drugs (the fact she told them I was her boyfriend didn't help matters when I tried to deny ever having met her before) Anyway she pissed herself hit a copper and got arrested, poor bird was probably cursing me the following day after waking up in a cell with damp jeans lol, if I would have left them to it he would have probably give her a few slaps then took her home Edited June 17, 2013 by leemond2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
