The news:
Rolf Harris is dead.
Me, a terrible person:
Goes to Twitter to see if Limmy has tweeted “Had the pleasure of meeting Rolf Harris at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.”
So, #RolfHarris is dead. Hell just got a little skeevier. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-05-23/disgraced-paedophile-rolf-harris-dies-aged-93/12371306 #NotMissed
@NationCymru There was a lot about the #RolfHarris case that never made sense to me at the time. I followed it quite closely, because to me evidence didn't add up. I had a horrible feeling he was the victim of a witch-hunt, which at the time seemed to be going through every popular DJ and celebrity who'd ever worked with children.
Sure, one or two them were absolutely guilty (e.g. JS - but as he was dead, blood was still required?). Others got dragged through the muck and were found not guilty.
(Tin hat on)
Was a big fan of John Peel when he was alive, played some great music, his Peel Sessions were often brilliant.
But… if he’d lived a little longer he’d surely have been arrested during Operation Yewtree.
Just seems to be a lot of people who pretend they aren’t aware of what he’s allegedly done (more than just allegedly, there’s plenty of facts like him marrying a 15 year old ffs) and what he himself has said on the subject.
Rolf Harris: Convicted pedophile and family entertainer dies
Weird to think if Rolf Harris had got away with his crimes we'd have a load of people today saying how much they loved him. Unlike Jimmy Saville, it was never “obvious” with Rolf Harris. TV executives presumably knew, but the general public only saw his incredibly convincing act
I've never told someone that I wished they were dead or celebrate it happening, however there are exceptions. #RolfHarris the serial child abuser is dead at 93. That's 94yrs too late.
The world is marginally better now.

Surprised Apple Music let through the uncensored version of Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport in the Ray Conniff recording. Below are the lyrics. What’s more interesting is that if you play the Rolf Harris version, the Abos verse has been cut, but the original lyrics are still displayed. #RolfHarris #AppleMusic
