Well they're not a campaign team made up of friends and family I would imagine, just decent people who want to see justice based on the facts above!

Obviously,the difficulty being is their version of the truth, differs somewhat to that put to the jury in a court of law

The problem is we aren't sure whether they are facts or their interpretation of what happened in a trial several days long where the credibility and reliability of the witnesses was tested in cross examination by the defence.

George would have blown holes in the prosecution's argument if the above is true.

The way you are citing as 'evidence' the ramblings of a friend is pathetic. The convicted paedo was found guilty on a number of counts due to strong and corroborating evidence; in a court of law.
But then you post links to animal cruelty militants who I evidenced have been caught faking events in a gross manner. You should have learnt your lesson then to do some proper research. I suggest you stop with the paedo sympathy and boring chicken crusades. I can only conclude you have a warped moral compass in valuing chickens above children. Seriously, are you ill or what?! |

For me, it's not about Harris but more about his victims getting justice. The cost, the fact that he is in jail shouldn't prevent them from seeing him brought to book for the offences.

Rolf's just a scapegoat , an easy target , so the public thinks justice is being done , while the deep satanic pedo's are protected at all costs  |

Savile fooled everyone including the Pope who made him a Papal Knight so not sure what your point is. |

Harris's trial began on 9 January 2017,[134] with him appearing and watching by videolink from Stafford Prison . Harris did not have to attend in person because of his age and poor health.[135] The prosecution started its case on Wednesday 11 January claiming the allegations involve unwanted groping.[136] One girl was 12 years old at the time of the alleged offences while another woman was disabled and totally blind.[137][138] |

Honours : All rescinded
Harris received a number of awards and honours. Following his conviction, many of these were rescinded.[139] For example, he was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1968; he was advanced to Officer (OBE) in 1977, then to Commander (CBE) in 2006,[140] but these honours were revoked in March 2015.[10][141] In 1986 Harris planted a Cathormion umbellatum tree at Kununurra's celebrity tree park.[142] The plaque recording the planting was stolen in July 2014, a week before the local council voted to keep it. The council, however, deemed it unlikely to be replaced due to ongoing vandalism at the park.[143] In 1989 he was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM),[144] and was advanced to Officer (AO) in the Queen's 2012 Birthday Honours.[140] These appointments were rescinded in February 2015.[145][146] In 2001 he was awarded the Centenary Medal "for service to entertainment, charity and the community".[144] On 30 July 2014, the Board of the National Trust of Australia (New South Wales) voted to remove Harris from the list of those honoured as "Australian National Living Treasures" and to withdraw the award.[147] Harris had been among the original 100 Australians selected for the Medal in 1997. Harris received two honorary doctorates: from the University of East London in 2007[148] and Liverpool Hope University in 2010.[149] Following his conviction, both universities rescinded them.[150][151] In 2008 Harris was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame. He was joined onstage by the Seekers to perform "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" and his "Jake the Peg" routine.[152] Also in 2008, to coincide with the release of Art: The Definitive Visual Guide, publishers Dorling Kindersley conducted the "What the British really think about art today" survey and placed Harris above notable English artist Damien Hirst.[60] After he was found guilty, the Australian Recording Industry Association removed him from the ARIA Hall of Fame.[139] In 2011 Harris was awarded the title of "Best Selling Published Artist" by the Fine Art Trade Guild.[153][154] He was made a Fellow of BAFTA the following year,[155] but following his conviction, the academy announced that his fellowship would be annulled.[156] In July 2014 Froncysyllte Male Voice Choir announced that Harris's honorary vice-presidency had been annulled.[157] |

Good point. There's still time. |
|
By:
Savile looked a sleezebag and I think whilst he did fool most people by the end of his life rumours were rife.
Harris in comparison was a huge surprise. |

By:
ok maybe not a knighthood , but close enough
For example, he was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1968; he was advanced to Officer (OBE) in 1977, then to Commander (CBE) in 2006,[140] but these honours were revoked in March 2015.[10][141] the point is they were both made high ranking members of the British establishment , what does that tell you ..... Saville was full out protected , Rolf obv didn't 'play ball' as much as I dislike what he's done , what he's actually done still seems to be blurred , lewd sexual acts , was there intercourse  tons of sexual harassment (groping) claims |

Saville was full out protected , Rolf obv didn't 'play ball'
Protected by who? People were afraid of rocking the boat because of his 'friends' in high places but that's a million miles away from being protected. Most people in the entertainments industry have used this excuse for not complaining about him. Savile was a manipulating coont that used his popularity as a weapon to do what he did. Not saying the hierarchy didn't fawn over him but I think in the main this was down to a lack of knowledge of his depraved acts. |

Rolf is innocent - the queen is behind it all, he stood on her toes when he was painting his portrait of her. The queen shouted out... you slag, you are finished in this country herr Rolf. the queen has the portrait hung on her cupboard door and throws darts at it.

Rofl Harris was a man ahead of his time.
Although he's an unpleasant man who deserves to be in jail, he gave us the immortal text speak ... ROFL Rolling on the floor laughing. Yes Rofl Harris is, in some ways, a man to be admired (in jail, the pervert). Few people know that both his parents were dyslexic |

By:
The abuse committed by Rolf Harris is no laughing matter, I'm sure you will agree, especially for his victims.
|
|
By:
Leppie,
I'm not mocking his victims as you would see if you could read my post. I'm poking fun at Rofl Harris who I say should be in jail. Is reading a full sentence or two a little demanding for you? |
|
By:
On a serious note (so as not to displease Leo) Harris has shown absolutely no remorse so far and I doubt he ever will.
He showed more concern and remorse for the sick animals in the Vet series he was in. Often in tears every episode. |

We've had one or two lefties on here in recent days and I've made it my life's work to convert them to Tories. Breedingmad, Anxious, Facts to name a few. I think they're weakening, but fear they may go UKIP. |
