William Roache thinks abuse victims might bring it on themselves - pardon me??

I know he has some bizarre views, and as well as defending celeb abusers, William Roache has now announced that sexual abuse victims are being punished for previous sins. I think this 80-year old philanderer needs to keep his big mouth closed if all he can come out with is rubbish like that. I believe he is out of the country at the moment. I wouldn't like to be him when his plane touches back down in the UK!

I've just been out for the evening and come back to a thread that has lost its marbles - I don't know about Ken Loach Bill Roache being barmy - it's catching. Very, very funny!!! grin

When I think this thread was always about someone who'd lost his marbles so best to treat his inane comments this.

Orca I mentioned some time ago that I really don't want to be addressed as a band of muscle. You might just as well call me bums and tums. Please don't – it's only three letters more.

I have just read in the news that Bill Roache's publishing company, in which he is a major shareholder, has lost over 2 million pounds in the last year or so. Riding's Publishing produces magazines like Lancashire Life, and is based in Blackpool. Two of the other board members/shareholders are Stuart Hall, retired TV presenter, and Owen Oyston, property mogul/estate agent before he went to prison for rape.
