They're on the list of patrons but are not suspects.
Seems pretty straightforward to me...
But you are intelligent, literate and not the target audience of Brit newspapers like The Mirror.

Hmmm...
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/police-seize-vip-list-in-dawn-1546351QuoteA list of names seized by police probing allegations of child abuse includes ministers, members of the royal household and a world-famous pop star...
All were recorded as visitors to a suburban guest house that operated as a gay brothel.
Now some could be suspects in an investigation into a network of powerful people who were secret paedophiles for years.

And we wonder why there are school shootings.
My friend's son is autistic and hates being the focus of attention. HATES it. He also hates being touched. So in third grade, his teacher decides he just needs to be "brought out of his shell" so she put him at the front of the class, called on him constantly, and made a point of ruffling his hair or touching his shoulders every time she walked past him.
The thing is, there are good teachers. There are excellent teachers. But an awful lot of smart, kind, compassionate people who like working with kids look at the qualifications they would need to get there, the salary they would receive if they did, and the conditions they would have to work in, and they make the decision to go into psychology or sociology or social work instead, where they feel like they have half a chance of actually making a difference. That leaves an awful lot of room in the field for sub-par power-trippers who get off on controlling and tormenting children, and that is, in my opinion, the majority of what we end up with.

Heh. Figured.
What most people don't realize is what happens to your perceptions when you get in a situation like that. It takes frequent training to do things automatically. Going to the range once a month doesn't cut it.

http://www.nspcc.org.uk/news-and-views/our-news/child-protection-news/13-01-11-yewtree-report/yewtree-report-pdf_wdf93652.pdfQuoteChildren as young as eight were abused by Jimmy Savile, a report detailing 50 years of allegations has revealed.
The Met Police and NSPCC outlined offences at 13 hospitals, including Great Ormond Street in London and Wheatfields Hospice in Leeds.
Some 214 crimes were recorded across 28 police force areas, including 34 of rape or penetration, the report said.
The CPS apologised for missing the opportunity to prosecute Savile in 2009, while he was still alive.
Police said the victims' accounts painted a "compelling picture of widespread sexual abuse by a predatory sex offender," and Cdr Peter Spindler, who is leading the abuse probe, said Savile had "groomed the nation".

Cat nature wants string.
Wiggle, wobble, she paws it.
Are we different?
YES. BECAUSE *I* DON'T SHIT IN MY BOOTS.
Liar.

Not so sure about Brucie. Struck me more as a 'traditional' pussy hound - 6ft leggy blondes and all that.
Rod Hull, on the other hand? If anyone is interested in running a sweep I'll buy that for a dollar

I work with some stupid kids, man. In the sense that these kids are fucked over by the world from day one, before they're even born. It's easy to see where a lot of these guys are headed, and it isn't anywhere good. They are going to do some stupid things, and end up in stupid places. I probably wouldn't like the adults many of them are going to become. But only a monster would feel disdain for these kids. Only a monster would fail to feel compassion.
Well, they were born guilty. Lots of people are. It's not their fault, but there you have it. Take any of them and put them in front of a jury in Oro Valley, and they'd be sent to prison for life, before any charges are named.
Guilty = WRONG = Stupid = tired and poor and weak.
Innocent = RIGHT = Smart = rich and powerful.

Don't forget, going on camera, and crying about your dead friend is somehow Metallica's fault.
