They just know they're born do they *Bob*. I'll get the ball rolling.

Jarvis' stunt was a bit cringy, but let's not forget that Jackson's "people" tried to have him prosecuted and even claimed that he interfered/molested at least one of the children on stage


I think it was Bob Mortimer of all people who sprung Jarvis from jail, him being a qualified legal bod and all - but the fact that such nasty accusations were thrown at an essentially foppish rogue, pissed and upset at the hijacking of the brits award always left a nasty taste


As for people rushing to condemn him as a pedarist - well we might have our opinions but we don't know, and it doesn't show anyone in a good light to throw accusations like that at a dead person - anyone could do it to you if they took against you and you would have no defence. Let's see how this plays out is my tack on this one


As for the wall to wall coverage - it's repulsive in every way shape or form. If anyone feels moved or touched by the kids mourning their "in-the-same-way-harry-is-charles "father" ", it would surely be better to wonder why the same family which pushed MJ himself when he was just a kid into the public light to such detrimental personal effect would repeat the mistake..



These kids have nothing to do with any of us but if we do care the best that can be hoped for them is they lead normal lives away from the ghoulish limelight which is surely now awaiting them

I'm not claiming their emotions are not genuine (although.. if pushed... if I HAD to... I might admit to suspecting some manipulation)


But that's me being cold - let's take their emotion at face value - I still we should not be party to their grieving IMO. By being in public it is the start of a process which will see their lives corrupted by media and public noseyness...

Michael Jackson Earth Song YouTube Clip showing Jarvis Cocker invading the stage


(cringy, but he was my hero that night. I had already gone from ambivelance to annoyance with MJ but that night I went to hatred)


Then, as he says, BBW became youtube happy and showed another example of someone trying to prick a public figures pomposity (but this time failing - marvelously!)

      Phone box in front of Oru...

      By Insuflo · Posted

      I think there is still a legal requirement that BT keep phone boxes that get used (average number of calls in a year?) or if there isn’t another box within a certain radius. If BT wants to remove it, they need permission from the council , I think. So, I would imagine that the council can also request removal. So, it’s down to someone to ask the Goose Green councillors to have it taken away.

      Oh Rachel....

      Also it seems the PM is a bit annoyed that Rachel Reeves' story changed/amended within 24 hours. And this is why the public cares (well except those who will turn a blind eye to anything their chosen political party does). People were so sick of the lies and nonsense the Tories thrust upon us that they wanted a government that they could trust, that played by the rules. When senior members of that government do not do that it undermines trust in the established political parties at a time when the scariest political party is gaining momentum for not being either Labour or the Tories and, ironically, pitching themselves on the basis of trust.
