What is the general feel about Townsend in the UK? Do most people believe his excuse or do they think he is guilty and got away with it? It was never really mentioned that much in the Aussie media, even at the time and it seems all but forgotten over here now.
My opinion is that, even if you really, honestly, genuinely are wanting to 'research' that sort of thing, would you really be dumb enough to search for it online? Especially when you are a high profile rock god? If he's genuinely not guilty of being a nonce, then he's certainly guilty of being a total fucking idiot.
