@NationCymru There was a lot about the #RolfHarris case that never made sense to me at the time. I followed it quite closely, because to me evidence didn't add up. I had a horrible feeling he was the victim of a witch-hunt, which at the time seemed to be going through every popular DJ and celebrity who'd ever worked with children.
Sure, one or two them were absolutely guilty (e.g. JS - but as he was dead, blood was still required?). Others got dragged through the muck and were found not guilty. -
#RolfHarris was once a widely loved and respected entertainer in the UK, but then we found out that, like #JimmySaville, he was a sex offender who abused many young women and girls.
If he hadn't been we'd see outpourings of love and positive sentiment today.
People would be busting out their Rolf tunes including "Tie me kangaroo down sport" where he sang "tan my hide when I'm dead Fred".

Weird to think if Rolf Harris had got away with his crimes we'd have a load of people today saying how much they loved him. Unlike Jimmy Saville, it was never “obvious” with Rolf Harris. TV executives presumably knew, but the general public only saw his incredibly convincing act

A nonce has died. #RolfHarris
"He was released from prison in 2017 - but never apologised to his victims."

I've never told someone that I wished they were dead or celebrate it happening, however there are exceptions. #RolfHarris the serial child abuser is dead at 93. That's 94yrs too late.
The world is marginally better now.

Just got a notification from Sky News that #RolfHarris was a "pedophile entertainer", like his job is to make balloon animals for nonces

CW: Racial slur.
Surprised Apple Music let through the uncensored version of Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport in the Ray Conniff recording. Below are the lyrics. What’s more interesting is that if you play the Rolf Harris version, the Abos verse has been cut, but the original lyrics are still displayed. #RolfHarris #AppleMusic

I still enjoy the songs of #RolfHarris, despite his being a walking anus of a human being. I continue to think #HouseOf Cards was a masterwork of political satire, despite Spacey's personal flaws. I continue to appreciate the sentiment of #MichaelJackson songs like 'Black or White', even though his music isn't really my speed, regardless of the crimes he's accused of.
