Bloody hell...and no capitals, so I presume that this is not a joke.

That will be a knockout blow to him.
If anyone else had posted this, I'd believe it. Now I've actually got to check.

My thoughts exactly.
It's no longer the sort of thing you can 'joke' about.
I doubt he was on many peoples radar, for this.

He's being questioned. I hope this all doesn't descend into witch hunts based on hearsay and rumour.

Choked about this, I love his Radio 5 summaries.....As an Octogenarian I guess it refers to things a long time ago, but I hope that it comes to nothing.
If he were guilty, then of course .....but let's not pre judge . The Police seem pretty keen to arrest rather than invite for an interview these days

This has all got a touch of the brass Eye about it if it wasn't so terribly sad.

My feelings go out to anyone Stuart Hall may of abused (if he did). I don't think the Police just go knocking on anyones door in this case, I'm sure they have a reason. It's not like he has inside information which would uncover the corruption in politics and bring about the shame in our war for peace. He's a bloody commentator who apparently loved the beautiful game. I wonder what game that was?

I still find it absolutely incredible that the persons name is routinely released on the basis of an ALLEGATION of rape or indecent assault. Dispicable in fact. If he's found guilty then by all means name and shame and send him down. But he's not even been charged yet. Now whatever happens, his name will be dragged through the mud, and with this whole Savile thing he will forever be deemed "guilty by association".
The law really does need changing.

I know I'm in the minority, but I've always disliked Stuart Hall. Don't know why, perhaps because he's completely incapable of describing what is actually happening in a match... Anyway, this is just going to run and run isn't it. It's not going to be very pleasant for the victims, the accused, for families or for anyone, quite sad.

But what if he's guilty? I imagine he will be now the news has been released on BBC.

I agree with that, I thought the same when the corrie actor was named the other day, you can bet your bottom dollar if he's found not guilty, it won't get the same press..... I actually similarly about Saville, you can say what you like but he's been proven guilty of naff all.
Note - I know he probably is guilty of some nasty stuff, but it's not a great precedent that's been set.
Quite right Easy.
If he's guilty then people will have plenty of time to get there pitch forks out.
But until such time he (people in general) are innocent until proven.
It's the cornerstone of our legal system.
