Reversible

Well there are a few ways of looking at it. I mean, this crime IS actually taken seriously in the UK most of the time and is prosecuted successfully.

Laughing about it could be seen as one way of dealing with an embarrassing national trauma. I mean it's as terrible as it gets. The whole situation is truly absurd really. Dealing with these things through humour is understandable, but considering this particular problem hasn't yet been handled at the root, it's not the right approach. The editors and producers most likely see it as a way of normalising these crimes. As in, if you laugh at something, you are implicitly accepting it.

Is that John Oliver in the 2nd one?

Good to know that Americans aren't the only people who are degenerating into little more than godless vermin.

Typical British humor. Very dark, 'edgy', creepy, innuendo-laden quips. or schoolboy "oooh matron!" saucy. It's harmless believe it or not.

Very hard to understand unless youre British or have lived in the UK or are obsessed with British culture and history.

This is why you never debate a degenerate, it's a waste of time

Or they made jokes about it simply because nobody was doing anything about it.

It was one way of getting it into public domain so that people could be aware of what was going on.

Lot of good that did. That fuck was a creep and dare I say you could tell just by looking at him.

Its not their fault it didn't do shit. Ask the British public why pedophiles are still allowed to get away with it.

Were there protests of hundreds of thousands of people like in the Dutroux case? No.

The PEOPLE need to get up and discuss this.

Never trust a bloke with a blond bob I'll say

norobotono

Well, it is lucky that they did because it was on permanent record that it was well known by people in the industry what he was in those days.

He always creeped me out all those years ago.

KeksMex

Seems like it's the same with all these pedo creeps. Wait until they're dead and then confirm that yes, they were pedos. The rich protect their own.

People are slowly waking up. Remember the replies about the Meyer tweet about Katy Perry's Bon Appetite? When they realize they are all fakes I don't know they will retaliate. It will be epic.

What went on there?

Look it up on Twitter. Meyer's the store. There was a tweet about her Bon Apetite release and many replies were not kind. Nasty and True. The Truth Shall Set Us Free.
