If you can’t see that Michael Jackson was a paedophile after watching @danreed1000 ‘s film you are being wilfully blind. And if you are campaigning against it you are actively colluding in the silencing of victims.

Presumption of innocence is a criminal standard but not a conversation-ending statement of historical fact. What about serial killer Fred West? He died unconvicted of any of his murders. Was he innocent?

I said it about #JimmySavile & got stick. I repeat it about #MichaelJackson . The man is innocent. The #PresumptionOfInnocence still holds in laws all around the world (not everywhere sadly - in "decent societies"). Yet millions disregard it. Alive or dead it makes no difference.
