'Vile' reaction to Vanessa Feltz's Rolf Harris claims
Example tweet:
Vanessa Feltz, though? You've really let your fans down this time, Rolf.
— Belcher (@belcherdiscuss) July 7, 2014
The quips on the internet mocking her Feltz has described as upsetting, vile and misogynistic. But regarding the sexual assault by Rolf, in her own
words, “it wasn’t that serious”. Okay, in spite of remembering the grope after all
these years she had forgotten whose side she was on. It's a shame she never joined his defence team!
It was only once revelations about Mr. Harris had emerged, "the police came to me. I didn't go to them". I can understand her not going to the police at the time of the assault. She would have been laughed right out of there, after all, it’s not like there were either any witnesses or CCTV footage of the crime. (Actually there was.) But her argument was she didn't want to break up a marriage, which is fine. If a husband feels the need to grope other women – and children, such as friends of his daughter’s – then perhaps it is already not the most solid of marriages. With hindsight the marriage was worth saving because Mrs. Harris stood by her husband loyally throughout the trial. Defending his character.
Lance Armstrong's lost duffel bag sparks trolling frenzy on Twitter
The original tweet:
Lost a green duffel bag around the intersection of 69&9 in Forest city today. Email lancemanager@gmail.com if found. Thanks

This could have been a good year
for Lance if he’d kept his mouth shut. Not only about the duffel bag, but if he’d just never admitted to doping
in the first place. By now he’d be so doped up he could have done this year’s
Tour de France backwards with Vanessa Feltz on a tandem bike. He could have even competed in the Brazil
World Cup … and maybe the Sochi Winter Olympics too!
He’d be a great figure skater
wouldn't he? He’s so aerodynamic and
trim. Like a one-man Torvil &
Dean. Well they share the same average
number of testicles anyway. And the
amount of drugs in him by now the cheat might have entered the Commonwealth
Games in Glasgow and won gold medals. Providing
he kept his mouth shut and his credibility intact. If he doesn't throw it away with an appearance on
a daytime talk show (by admitting to cheating on air, not just by being a guest on Oprah!) Although
this time if he cries on nationwide telly it won’t be because of his guilt over
doping - but because of the victory ceremony. When it dawns on him he has to stay in Glasgow a bit longer. Because, for all its strengths, Glasgow is littered with used needles and grey and depressing … it just reminds him too much of his lost duffel
bag.
But it is the summer now and the weather nice and sunny. So Glasgow would probably not be as depressing as sunny Brazil is right now. And in the Brazil World Cup this year the US actually got to the semi-finals. Of course the US have never won the World Cup, because they don’t really do football. Not without their hands anyway. They don’t really give much of a shit about competing with us in it, Americans see soccer as a child’s game! For schoolkids. Imagine that! To us it’d be like as if, say, they were massively into rounders!?? But with Lance Armstrong on their squad they’d surely have won. He’s such a determined sportsman, he doesn't mind about little things like fair play or rules. He’d covet that World Cup trophy that much. But only because it looks like an open hand giving someone back their lost ball.
