In the news

My aunt went to seen him in one of his end-of-pier shows once. She'd seen him on the telly, and thought that he was reasonably funny. She left after 15 minutes horrified that they even let him on the telly. She said the fifteen minutes she saw were outrageously racist, punctuated by horrendously crude sexual jokes.

Maybe a few of his punchlines will be reintroduced to him in the nick.

The list of sweepstake candidates is getting longer and longer...

I wasn't even alive in the 70s and I'm shitting it.

Had never heard of him so had to google. God Britain has some shitty celebs. This guy has on OBE?

Never heard of him either and I echo your sentiments. How do these people even become celebs?

I was alive in the 70's, should I be worried?

Move in the right ringscircles I guess.

Yes, you are getting on a bit.

Davidson arrested. Marvellous - even if he's innocent this will stick to him like shit to a picnic blanket.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke bigger cunt.

"Davidson arrested... Couldn't happen to a bigger cunt."

That's not nice... True, but not very nice at all.

Britain's shittiest celebs.

Beats Britain's got talent

That's not nice... True, but not very nice at all.

He's a wife beating, homophobic racist. And he votes Tory.

What's to like about him?

A certain evenhandedness, I suppose

You could freeze-dry and shred him, and use him for dog food... The list is endless.

Many of the arrests which the police describe as "others" in the Savile investigation aren't for child abuse specifically. Davidson was arrested in connection with allegations of sexually assaulting 2 women.

I guess that's okay then.

Needless to say I couldn't possibly comment on those allegations, but the guy is a cunt regardless.

I guess that's okay then.

Of course that's exactly what I meant.

I knew it! You're as bad as him.

(I was being facetious. But! I think everyone was just noting that he seems to be a shitty human being based on the things he himself as said and admitted [like beating women,disliking homosexuals, and hating foreigners], and not because he was arrested for these recent allegations, whatever they may be for).

it's definitely no surprise, given the suggestion of a culture of misogyny and child abuse at the BBC in the 70's, that his name pops up. Funny that he's due to appear on celebrity BB tomorrow night too.

I for one never called Mr. Davidson a shitty human being...

So he's been arrested on suspicion of sexual offences against two women, both in their mid-20s which happened 25 years ago who are both coming forward now?

I don't really like guy myself (though you can't not have loved Big Break) but it's a bit ridiculous that his name will be forever tarnished by this (let alone his crap stand-up) because two attention seekers have realised they can get some good money out of it.

Why have they released his name and not the other guy who was arrested with him? Oh yeah, because he's not famous and there's no money to be made of his back. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Fucking ridiculous.

Or potentially two rape victims believe they can finally get justice? Hope you aren't selected for jury service.

Whoa there Slick Mick! This is an assumption in itself. There are a number of compelling reasons why rape/assault victims don't immediately come forward man. I don't know man, I haven't been raped for one but I kind of think I wouldn't entirely act in a 'logical' manner.

For all you know he raped them both and only now, with savile and operation yewtree, do they feel confident enough to report it.
