I wonder, UBT, if you would be so far minded and level headed had one of the children been your own.

Well that's an interesting point in this particular case, as it was the parent who carried out or helped to carry out the abuse.  Indeed, sadly most child abuse is carried out within a family.

Thankfully no it was not my children, and I wouldn't seek to use my children to make assessment of justice either, as indeed I would not seek to put it onto any other person or their children.

A very balanced and level headed response UBT. For the record I am a placid and easy going sort of person. If it ever happened to one of my children I would have the perpetrator hanging by the fingernails in the garage.

One thread on Ian Watkins but what about the victims? I sincerely hope that they, unlike those who were the subject of sustained institutional abuse e.g. within religions and other institutions, do not get forgotten. I hope they get what ever help and compassion they need to deal with the trauma of his unspeakable abuse and, in some cases, the absence of a caring and right minded parent.

You seem to wish to imply I am uncontrollably angry or feeling anarchic over this. You couldn't be further from the case.

Keith ... I figure that if I keep prodding you with the pitchfork, you'll get angry and anarchic.

Billet for the second time today I have to say you have got it spot on.  Please don't make me develop a habit of this, otherwise I'll lose my membership of the awkward squad.

UBT I may live or believe that I live in what you term a civilized country but that would not be the case in one of HMP's that houses the less than civilized individuals that are guilty of crimes that "normal" people would find unforgivable and unacceptable.

As such these eatablishments could be termed the jungle and the rules of the jungle will no doubt prevail.

And finally may I suggest that you stop prodding other people with a pitchfork as I fear that that could lead to a term in the jungle   ;)  ;)
