This also reminds me of the story running today about the Scottish footballer who plays for Hearts. His name is Craig Thomson and he was convicted in the past week or so as a sex offender. He chatted in unsavoury mode to two young girls on the internet. He was found guilty in court and placed on the sex register...this has caused the mother of all storms in Scotland as Hearts have allowed him to continue playing.
But the storm of protest is rising. Schools have pulled out of association with the club, a major sponsor has pulled out, fans are in uproar as most want him gone...but some dont. Some believe in rehabilitation and redemption.
But it seems the general public dont. They want him sacked. They want him gone.
As a professor said today on R4
"is this chap never to work again as a footballer or anything else?.. there has to be redemption."
Beware what you say on the internet now as the cloak of authority is circuling. And if chatting to girls or boys make sure they are the right age..how do you make sure they are the appropriate age...well i dont know.
