no doubt about it, Ian Watkins is a nonce

Hang the bastard.

[rug568]

If Ian Watkins goes near my kids I swear I'll do time.

The police aren't allowed to release names unless they have substantial evidence.

Heard today from people in the police that they aren't allowed to release names unless they have substantial evidence.

[Gucci Piggy]

Well that's ridiculous. So basically if the Police think your guilty they can get you tried by the media.

I agree with thetime on this. There should be complete privacy until the end of the trial.

[rug568]

It is ridiculous, but it does also mean they have substantial evidence against Ian Watkins.

[jump]

So is it normal for the police to charge people with not much evidence?

I bet he was really into you when you were young too

[lightning1000]

I thought about it. But I decided not to do that joke

[AcademicPistol]

I doubt it, I'm not particularly knowledgeable on the workings of the law system.

[Mouseboy11]

What would your speciality category be on mastermind?

[AcademicPistol]

Cliff Richard, yours?

[jonodillieono]

I wish I knew Cliff Richard, 2 questions in the pub quiz were about him yesterday, I didn't know either

[Mouseboy11]

I have no idea, he once released an entire Christmas album? In all seriousness probably Breaking Bad

Haha we had a Christmas Quiz today, any questions we didn't know the answer to we filled in with Cliff Richard.

The whole thing seems lower profile than i thought it would be.

I was expecting it to be front page news on all the papers and headline news on TV.Even the red tops only had about a quarter of a page on it and its not even on the main news page on teletext.

Radio 1 barely mentioned it and you have to scroll down quite a few pages on the news websites to find it.Even the welsh papers only has the basic facts on it.

To have the high profile singer of a top band arrested for child abuse is surely a huge story.for some reason one of Savilles mates, who most of us have never heard of, being arrested for the same thing is dominating the headlines.

Maybe Watkins has friends in high places.

I would say lost prophets profile has fallen significantly over the last few years as has pop/rock in general. However even at their peak he wasnt really a huge star. Since the days of Gallagher, Albarn and Cocker Im not sure there has been a high profile frontman although Im probably forgetting someone.
