Barbados is part of the Commonwealth and the London Scheme for Extradition Within the Commonwealth seems to be a multilateral extradition agreement covering all member countries?

Yeah this.  It still has a British Governor General with the Queen as Head of State.  That's the only reason there isn't a formal extradition treaty.  Absolutely zero chance they refuse to extradite someone.

Not according to the laws of Barbados.

Think he's pulling your leg, there is I belive quite a bit of dodgy stuff out there about Mother Teresa.

there is a massive difference between having unknowing sexual relations with an under age person, and being "predatory", everyone knows this. But technically, even if the "child" has told the "adult" that they are old enough, it is still against the law (as far as i am aware).

So to that end, what worries might some of the stars of the music industry,both past and present, have right now?


dont want to mention any names/groups etc, but if a groupie gets into the hotel room of a musician, offers themselves up for anything the musician wants, wants and allows it to happen, does not go to the authorities and complain about it, but mum finds out her 15 year old "angel" has been taken advantage of.

where does the musician stand there? both moraly, and in the eyes of the law?

I really hope they punish those who have sexually assaulted people.

It's a fair point that has been made.  Jim Davidson went though a year of public speculation in the papers and interrogation before the authorities decided there were no charges to answer.  The Police even arrested him in public at the airport, when they could have just waited for him to arrive home.  It's obviously dented his career and I imagine a cloud of suspicion still hangs over him in some people's eyes.  Is it just acceptable collateral damage in the crusade?

Dr Fox isn't a real doctor, or a real fox - how can we believe anything he says?

No, but he'll survive.

There are thousands of women who have been sexually assaulted but for numerous reasons the perpetrators have not been arrested, charged and convicted.  This is a much more important issue for me than a racist bigot having his career dented.  Of course, I wouldn't want anyone accused of a sexual assault they haven't done, it must be terrible.  Probably not as terrible as being sexually assaulted though.
 

[DungBeetle]

I'm no Jim Davidson fan, but the fact that you don't like him seems pretty irrelevant to this issue.  I can imagine your disappointment when the allegations were found by the authorities to hold no water.

I dislike Jim Davison with a passion (obviously).

But the police arresting him at the airport, having obviously tipped off the press first was unnecessary, vindictive and cruel.

Just trying to curry good will amongst Daily Mail readers.

How difficult would it be to wait until he got home to arrest him?

Not like he is a dangerous criminal.

[AndrewT]

I'm certain the reason the press were tipped off is because even the police wanted to see the 'Nick Nick Nicked' headline in the Sun.

[Ironside]

i'm in a minority of people in UK and on blonde it seems that likes jim davidson

yeah his jokes used to be racists and homophobic etc
but who amongst us that grew up in the 70s and 80s didnt find that sort of humour the norm back then
man of his jokes were actually written by black/gay writers
more recently his humour and his characters have poked fun at himself
his career was over long before his arrest atleast on tv, this just nailed the coffin shut
but i would rather have 50 coffins nailed shut on careers than one offender getting away with these heinous crimes   
the way they are handled by police needs work on though arresting him arriving at an airport was wrong
if it was him leaving the country i see the point
and alerting the media over his arrest and cliff's house search is just out of order
