As Rolf Harris loses first conviction appeal, we call for him to be stripped of his CBE
On Friday, sex offender Rolf Harris lost his first appeal against his conviction for 12 indecent assaults on four girls, including one aged just seven or eight.
Harris lodged his appeal in August with the Judicial Office and today his application was refused. The 84-year old still has the option to renew the application before three judges at the Court of Appeal but it is time that he did the decent thing.

Harris is brushed out
Rolf Harris’ portrait of the Queen disappears After the BBC commissioned Rolf Harris to paint a portrait of the Queen in 2005, the Corporation showed a special episode of Rolf On Art featuring the Australian artist and entertainer working on it.
Rolf Harris – who now faces a new investigation into allegations made against him since his conviction – needs to accept his guilt and apologise to his victims. It is also time that he was stripped of his CBE; this monster needs to be airbrushed from history.

A future cellmate for the fat conman Thomas McLoughlin.
I hope so. Thomas McLoughlin deserves to be inflicted with the didgiredo 24 seven.
You will all be in jail soon as when Rolf Harris is cleared … Which he will be……….. He will sue the pants off the lot of you.
Rolf Harris is innocent and the truth will out. You morons should end your witch hunt as he was convicted without any evidence. Leading solicitors have assessed the trial and case and agree his conviction is a miscarriage of justice. You and the fantasizing people involved will be forced to apologise and pay him and his family compensation.
This is possibly the most ludicrous comment we’ve ever received. You must be on acid.
