I see in the States that a woman is taking legal action against Bob Dylan

The allegations date back to 1965 ffs !!!

That's before England last won anything

If he raped her/***ually abused her I’ve no issue with timescales tbh Grist, he deserves to be punished. The question will be why not say something at the time but it’s not uncommon for people who have been abused to stay silent for many decades.

My gripe is what was once seen as acceptable behaviour, almost cultural shouldn’t now be raised as concerns with potential repercussions because people of this era have deemed it unacceptable. The fact is lots of things no longer happen and that’s fair enough, if it does people are held to account or certainly should be.

I wonder if the guy in your avatar would stand up to such scrutiny?

But being dead there would be no money in it

Wait until there is an enquiry into Henry VIII's treatment of women!

Grist being dead has nothing to do with it. Currently in the States there are two men in their late 30's alleging that Michael Jackson s.exually abused them both as children. His estate are currently contesting their claims stating a dead man cannot defend himself.

Where have these two been for the past 20 years when they've seen/heard other claims being paid off running into millions of dollars rather than get to court? Or is that it, a dead man can't defend himself so why not put a claim in?
