David Cameron has warned against public child abuse allegations turning into a “witch-hunt” against gay people.

Oh dear, it appears that David Cameron doesn’t know the difference between a paedophile and a homosexual. Funny how he only speaks of a witch hunt when links to politicians start to be discussed…

Mmmm very interesting.

He seemed quite happy when it was just the BBC and celebrities.

If you prick him, does he not bleed?

I suppose it depends where you insert your prick, momentary.

Shakespeare would be turning in his grave!

Mr Cameron, who did not look at the names, replied with a warning: “There is a danger, if we’re not careful, that this could turn into a sort of witch-hunt, particularly against people who are gay and I’m worried about the sort of thing you are doing right now – giving me a list of names that you’ve taken off the internet.”

he does have a point……….don’t you think?

Yes he does. And Philip Schofield (who is on tv far too much for his own good) was out of order in doing what he did. Some of the names on the list were viewable so it’d be quite nice if legal action was taken against him.

The names are on the internet. They are therefore, in the public domain. I don’t see that Philip Schofield did anything wrong.

What this does highlight is that the internet is an uncontrollable beast and anyone can post anything whether it is fact or fiction.

That’s the real issue here for me, not Philip Schofield’s actions.

does arrogance give you the right to do what you want and how you want to do it?
