Two works by paedophile Rolf Harris withdrawn from auction whilst one of a baby remains for sale online
In the wake of his conviction in 2014 for abusing women and girls as young as 8 years old, many of the frankly crap paintings by the repugnant monster Rolf Harris were burnt by those who’d bought them.
Two stories to keep beside you

That Spencer Matthews was described on Sky News as a “royal relative” is just yet another example of shoddy journalism We all make mistakes, but when journalists fall for PR peoples’ scams as easily as Sky News plainly did last night in the wake of the non-news story of the former Made in Chelsea participant […]
Overheard – 8th September
Clangers overheard and snippets spotted by readers of ‘The Steeple Times’ How to Spend It Prior to RM Auctions’ Battersea sale, an American woman conversed with the dealers advising her on the £1 million car she wished to purchase. She curtly told one: “I don’t spend money, I make money. Yes, I spend money […]
On Saturday, however, the Sunderland Echo revealed that an auction house in East Boldon, Tyne & Wear had listed two works by the evil jailbird and were due to sell them today with estimates of just £20 to £40 and £50 to £80.
In response to questions on what made the convicted paedophile Harris’ works worthwhile to auction and who the likely buyer would be from The Steeple Times, Boldon Auctions did not answer. A spokesman for the firm simply remarked: “No, sorry, withdrawn and collected by client” and refused to comment further.
Elsewhere, on the Preloved.co.uk website, an especially inappropriate signed work by Harris is being marketed. Titled ‘Innocence’, the signed print is one of 695 and shows an image of a baby. Why on earth anyone would want such on their wall is beyond comprehension.

You sicken me and thousands of others supporting Rolf… He is a truly wonderful man and he was FRAMED by bitches after his money. He wasn’t even in the places he said and you pile more misery on him and the lovely Alwyn. You should be ashamed of yourself Steeples. I hate you.
And you sicken all of us on here, Rod is correct, Harris is a dirty pervert and convicted paedophile and should be castrated. Now go away otherwise we will all chip in and pay Rod to pop around to your place with his wrecking ball…
In Oz we were glad when Rolf Harris left!!!!!!!!!!! He is a filthy perv and he needs castrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In fact —- he needs the f***ing electric chair!!!!!!!!!!!! And that wife!!!!!!!!! What a dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the daughter!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Give me Shane’s ex Liz Hurrley any day!!!!!!!!!!!!
The elite of this country facilitated the actions of one named ‘Jimmy Saville’ but when his actions became public knowledge someone had to pay: That someone was Rolf Harris.
All his actions may not have been laudable, but please tell me of someone whose actions are. ‘Let the one without sin cast the first stone’.
He was convicted of abusing a 13 year old. Case closed.
