The public have always needed their bread and circuses. Long before social media and tabloids. Put your head above the parapet and someone will take a potshot. If you can't handle it, you have to protect yourself and take a career in a office as an accountant or similar.

It seems that those demanding answers, inquiries, media control, pointing fingers at other social media users and directing blame are generally those who've spent 4 years wishing death on politicians and calling voters '****s' for personal preferences and opinions, so it's not going to change.

I remember an interview with him on one of the anniversaries, I’ve looked for it since and it’s disappeared, Harry slates Man U for the way they treat some of the survivors. Think it was Jacky blanchflower who was turfed out of a club house by the club almost immediately. Harry slated them for it.
People like Harry gregg are who the young in society should be taught to look up to and try and emulate and live their life by.

It is weird how they only really focus on Charlton, Busby, and Edwards, isn't it?

There were another 35 people on that plane ffs.


RIP Harry. Hero that man.
 
Striking contrast between the media attention to lives and deaths of Harry Gregg and Caroline Flack.

Great films, but if you believe the long running allegations that he raped Natalie Wood when she was 16 then you wonder whether he would have reached 103 with a spell in prison.

Allegations, and unproven, but having listened (with Askew) to someone who claimed she and her brother were raped by Burt Lancaster it is a very similar story. For what it’s worth I believed her, or at the very least believed that she believed it had happened.

I think because lots happened during that era that would be heard, and a verdict given on, nowadays, but then went uninvestigated it leaves doubt when you hear allegations, and also leaves a feeling that if it didn’t happen then people like him should have had the chance to be vindicated at the time.

I’m torn.

Wasn't her show very subtly titled 'Burt Lancaster pierced my hymen aged 11'? Her brother committed suicide as a result

Blimey, great music, talented man. Know Whipps Cross pretty well - and it's just down the road from the school I did my A levels at. Similar age to me and I've had 2 PEs - I'm on blood thinners for life. You never know when he's going to come calling - I was very very lucky with my first incident. Enjoy life everyone, make the most of it for you and your loved ones.
