Rolf Harris is dead

Not a league table as such, but Saville had offended for nearly fifty years, mainly in plain sight. A lot of people knew. Although why he managed to get so close to Charles, who knows. Harris though, does not seem to have been so rampant.

Nope

Won't be singing his silly songs or remembering anything he did fondly

Because everything he did was to enable his access to children

His memory can die along with him

I’m another who was so disappointed I liked the Rolf we saw I admired his artistic talents and I saw him in person at a music festival and he seemed such a personable guy but I certainly didn’t admire his other side and felt very disappointed in him

Gary Glitter Saville and others I didn’t like they all gave me the creeps Rolf Harris didn’t before I knew so I was very surprised and let down by him

My immediate reaction was also good riddance. There's a special place in hell for paedophiles. And not as bad as Savile or Glitter? I didn't know there was a league table for paedophilia.

Good riddance

We were all let down by this paedophile who managed to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes.
This is why when politicians accused of similar have colleagues saying what nice chaps they are, for heavens sake, they have no idea of what can go on behind closed doors.

I am not conflicted as I thought he was a dreadful entertainer too.

Agree with you Esmay.

We enjoyed watching Rolf as a family when we were little, he was so unstuffy.
Shocked and profoundly disappointed when the later revelations were made.
I never did have any time for Jimmy Savile or Gary Glitter - far too showy for my taste even then.

I agree with you , Lady Dedlock; I remember him as a talented artist and entertainer; my daughter said, like you, he was part of her childhood and I don't believe he came anywhere near Savile or G.Glitter as a paedophile.

I used to love to watch Rolf Harris doing his artwork on TV .
I thought that it was
marvellous .

I was so shocked and disappointed to hear that he was a paedophile .

Good riddance 🤮

Same here Dogsmother

I just said good when I heard.
No time for anything to do with paedophiles surprised at myself for responding here even. Yeuk.

I was taken aback when the news about Rolf Harris broke. I had no inkling at all of his proclivities. Unfortunately his family have to live with this knowledge now it must be hard to bear. I agree with Septimia's last paragraph.

Rolf was a good entertainer but not a nice person. Lots of people have both good and bad in them. There's no reason why we shouldn't acknowledge that. Let's face it, most of us have a public face and a private life - it's just that the latter isn't usually illegal.

As Shakespeare put it in Julius Caesar "The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones".
