  Never much liked Jimmy Saville when I was a kid. Never much liked Walliams either. Something just wrong about both of them.

  Not that I had any kind of flawless perspective on pervs, Rolf Harris was a bit of a surprise, as was The Prince Formerly Known As Andrew, though possibly because I never paid any attention to him at all.

  I can’t honestly say I’m surprised.

    Everyone knew, but there was an injunction preventing UK media from naming him.

      There was a request for an injunction in England and Wales, but it failed, which is why it was reported on in Scotland earlier, and now in England today.

    He’s been sectioned and is in a psych ward so you may be waiting for a while.

    Not “might”, “would”. Although they didn’t specify a timeline, so we could be waiting for decades.

    Of the last two months. A legal roundup reported on it back in September naming him, The Guardian and ITN.

      I remember seeing that, which made the injunction process seem altogether redundant

    Last week if you searched for high court celebreity you inevitably found a shadow cut out of David Walliams.

    If you used a VPN it straight up named him
