	Just heard on BBC World News that they found hundreds of indecent images of children on his pc but he won't stand trial for that. Bloody corrupt. Poor sod diabetes and a stent wow There are millions of people that are worse off medically than him.

	Having proved to us all that he has the backbone of a jellyfish, he failed to fess up to his dastardly deeds. It wouldn’t surprise me if he appeals.

	Interesting! Just Googled EGH and one name sprang out. A certain MP for Rochdale, now deceased. This person's name has also cropped up in relation to abuse of boys at a Rochdale Special Needs School, Knowl Vale

	RH, affectionately (?) known in Oz as 'the boy from Bassendean' (a town in the Perth area), has lost that title: http://www.news.com.au/national/western-australia/town-of-bassendean-councillors-vote-to-remove-rolf-harris-paintings-plaque-and-his-status-as-a-town-freeman-at-closed-meeting/story-fnii5thn-1226977058728

	He should lose the CBE,MBE and all the other recognition he has got from al governments. And I would burn all his paintings and books

	Won't get back into OZ due to sex crimes. Now there's an irony! Sue, I'm sure I read that he would be stripped of his awards. His paintings, I believe remain his property unless sold. Also read that it is believed his portrait of the queen probably went back to him.

	Pathetic!! :-\| :-\| He should have got the max. With remissions etc, he could be out in two or three years; meanwhile, his victims have to live with a lifetime sentence.

	The Judge in the Rolf Harris has sentence the disgraced star to a jail term of 5 years and 9 months.
	Researching: I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

	Why do some have a tendency to behave badly when they think no one is looking? How easy it is to 'fall from grace'. Goodbye RH & may your feet go with you!

	At his age and with his health conditions he'll probably be dead before he's released.
