YoungWillz 21,023 Posted May 23, 2023 Just now, Youth in Asia said: Don't forget the two little boys. None of those age old jokes work with Rolf, just as they don't with Gary Glitter. This is how the British press report such stories: Girl(s) abused - "Predator caught abusing child(ren)" Boy(s) abused - "Predator caught abusing young boy(s)" Therefore the assumption that transforms the addled minds of the public is that anyone abusing girls only must have abused boys too. I'm sick of having this discussion. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,531 Posted May 23, 2023 Perhaps for next year we should replace Rolf with Stuart Hall. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brad252 806 Posted May 23, 2023 Sky have reported he died on the 10th May, so sounds like the speculation around the private ambulance on here was correct. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathtreat23 189 Posted May 23, 2023 Well if that's the case the date on the front page needs changing to May 10th even if it was only announced today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure all the dates on the front page correspond to the date of announcement (or the date that the update on the front page was made). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They usually do (correspond), but Sakamoto's didn't. His death wasn't announced until April 2nd but the front page shows 28 March (the day he actually died) as its date of death. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sick of having this discussion. Well firstly it was just a joke because that was the name of his famous hit song. Secondly, abusers abuse one gender or the other, I'm not aware of any that abuse both. Boys (Jonathan King, that football coach, that Scottish teacher, several cardinals) Girls (Glitter, Harris, Peel, Bowie). Why would anyone assume someone who has abused girls abuses boys too? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess you haven't seen Twitter today. That's exactly what the great unwashed (with a few exceptions) are assuming. See, to me it's also disrespectful genderwise. Girls who are abused aren't mentioned in the headline generally, which is about as far as folk get normally. Therefore for some reason the words paedophile or child rapist automatically trigger folk into assuming both genders have been abused. I've seen very few headlines today that explicitly mention the gender of Rolf's victims. Hence the firestorm of references to that song. I think there needs to be a bit of thinking done by journalists as to how they responsibly headline as well as report such crimes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerberus 302 Posted May 23, 2023 On the website, but nothing at all on the BBC news so far. All seems to be about Madeleine or the Cardiff riots. Very strange. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slackhurst Broadcasting 374 Posted May 23, 2023 On one occasion Jimmy Savile abused a young girl and boy together, while he was dressed in a Womble costume with the head removed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerberus 302 Posted May 23, 2023 Death certificate shows he died on 10 May. Must have been one of the most-delayed deaths ever reported on this site, especially for one of the 50. Presumably cremation has taken place by now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
