[Quartz]

So sayeth the Telegraph.

I'm amazed. Of course, he's conveniently dead so cannot contest the charge.

Liberal Party!

Who wasn't? :/

Seems the in thing to wait until they're dead. Very convenient.

I presume you've never been molested and raped as a child then?
I suspect these things are very difficult to open up about and discuss.

He's been dead for 7 years anyway, so I highly doubt the "in thing", as you so eloquently put it, is to "wait until they're dead".

What a senseless comment

 

[iamtheoneneo]

Detectives investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann have been alerted to the fact that Freud had a villa in Praia da Luz, Portugal, the resort where the three-year-old went missing in 2007.

Gotta get the McCanns in somewhere.
He's dead, the victims are not which if the events took place then obviously its not cool , but trial by media is not the correct way to be doing this.

I clearly don't know if he did this but some of the media are basically presenting it as a fact when nothing has been proven. Or am I missing something.

Media is gonna media...

Sad news if true, one of my heroes growing up listening to JAM.

What is it with all the rich / famous / powerful diddling kids....

You get to hear about them but not the rest.

 

[wesley]

they have the right to defend but they cant cos they are dead so why bring it up after they died so that'll means they are guilty just cos they cannot defend

His widow seems to have accepted he did it and apologised. Given these kids were in their custody for a time I'd say she's in a better position than most to know what could have gone on.

i don't know why you are amazed, he always struck me as a very odd person.

 

[do_ron_ron]

If true, brings the accusation of the Paedo ring in establishment circles back into light.

 

[Sankari]

Clement Freud a paedo?

Yeah but it was old style paedoing: before it got such a bad name.

 

[Pawnless Endgame]

Remember guys, everyone in the UK are automatically paedos by default. You have to fight to clear your name. So I'm a paedo, everyone on GD are paedos, gerbils are paedos, my bus is a paedo, the clouds in the sky are paedos, fresh air is paedo.

The same can be said above about racists. Everyone is racist by default.

And the same with rape. Everything is rape (or ræp).

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

I've always been suspicious of gerbils.

 

[HazardO]

I've always been suspicious of gerbils.

They've been implicated in reports of the sexual assault of at least one famous hollywood star. Poor bloke.

 

[thep02]

Doesn't surprise me, there was obviously something sinister going on at the bbc with uperclass paedos and intelligence services since its inception.
