Had his Berkshire home raided regarding a sexual allegation from 1985. What did they hope to find, a crusty condom down the back of the sofa?

You're a bit late Tango. We've been discussing this all afternoon, until the thread disappeared :-)

Just my luck to miss all the slanderous opinions of fellow lifers..............

Yes, there were a few rather libellous comments on the thread!

We took the decision to pull the other one.

It is a grey area for us. We know it is 'news', but at the same time it is based on a subject we have previously stated we are uncomfortable covering on here. The fact that the most vile of subjects can then turn into a pun / joke fest really doesn't sit comfortable with us.

There is also the added issue of accusations / comments based on conjecture / speculation. Again, grey area and as a public board, something our natural stance is to err on the side of caution.

As we always say, there are plenty of other places on the web to discuss this sort of stuff. Hope you respect our stance, ta.
