Rolf Harris - Guilty

Entertainer Rolf Harris has been found guilty of sexual assaults.

The 84 year old is found guilty of 12 counts of indecently assaulting four girls throughout the decades; 1960's, 1970's and 1980's. One of whom was a friend's daughter. 

As with any case involving sexual assault, I find the nature of the cases considerably disturbing and surprising. 

Sadly, what has become somewhat unsurprising to the British public and even worldwide, is the renowned public figures being found guilty of such crimes. 

Rolf Harris is one of many public figures to be found guilty of commuting such horrid crimes, including; Stuart Hall and Jimmy Savile. 

Harris is due to be sentenced Friday 4th July. 

What sentence do you think he deserves? 


Dolly at Glastonbury

The legend who is Dolly Parton performs at Glastonbury.

Sparkles, banjos and wigs galore, Dolly gave an upbeat country set worthy of the Pyrmaid Stage. Undoubtedly a legend. 

But is she our legend? 

As a Brit, I know that country music isn't quite the nations first choice. And I have no doubt that Dolly gave a brilliant performance. 

But I couldn't help thinking throughout; is this what they really want to see on the Pyramid Stage? 

Granted, there were many people who knew the words to popular songs such as; Jolene and I Will Always Love You. 

Other than the more well-known tracks, the audience looked awkward, bobbing their heads and singing the wrong words. 

Maybe it was just me? What are your thoughts fellow Brits?

It's Been Too Long

It has been too long hasn't it?

I've been so wrapped up in uni work and my personal life I took some time out from blogging. Apologies. 

But I'm back, and I look forward to bitching, criticising, analysing and generally sharing my opinionated views on everything in the Media with you again. 

Are you ready? ;)
