NOT A FUCKING CHANCE?!?!!!!?!?

haha, you said 'gaol'!

there's not a chance of him being forgiven, largely because he actually touched up young boys. He'll be lucky to avoid being stabbed, look at fucking gary glitter.

prick.

sorry I misread the headline as 'Jonathan King released on Prole' - I've recovered now thankfully - as an eerie aside I almost got a job working at his music paper the Tip Sheet about a month before he was arrested in 2000 - sometimes fate falls on your side for the best I think!!

Motorhead released On Parole

Sick cunt.. And most of the judges are cunts for being too soft on sick cunts.. You touch kids,rape,batter old age pensioners you Fuck all the do gooders.. Human rights.. Ha..
Some people just don't deserve human rights..

so what was he famous for before being snatched by the paedofinder general?
this has never been made clear to me, beyond "he was in the music industry".

I met Jonathan King at a random social event about a month before his kiddy-fiddling came to light*. This, sadly is my only celebrity-meeting moment, unless you count seeing someone who might've been Dame Kiri te Kanawa buying frilly knickers in Marks & Spencers.

*Don't worry, he didn't abuse me or anything.

JK was Editor of Tipsheet but prior to that he was best known for his work on Eurovision and, in his younger days, having several top 10 hits (I think one was called "fly to me to the moon" or something similar). He was also somehow involved in getting Ash famous. His convictions come from the days when he ran youth club disco's in his twenties. Though his actions were reprehensible it always got me how he ended up in prison when those who dabble with underage girls in the music business (like god knows how many boy bands and club promoters) completely get away with it. The difference is with JK they were boys.

Mr King's website can be found at www.kingofhits.com. His biography reads thus:

"Jonathan King was born Kenneth George King in London on December 6th 1944, of an American father and British mother. The family moved to Surrey when he was very young and he spent most of his early life near Dorking. He was sent to Stoke House prep school (boarding) and Charterhouse.

He passed into Trinity College Cambridge and, before starting, travelled for six months around the world, attempting to make contacts in the music industry. He managed to write some songs, record some tracks, produce a group and even get product released, but his first success came in 1965, when, as a Cambridge undergraduate, he wrote & sang his first hit, Everyone’s Gone To The Moon. It sold 4.5 million copies around the world. He remained at college but wrote and produced other hits such as It’s Good News Week/Hedgehoppers Anonymous, discovering, producing/naming GENESIS, a school band at Charterhouse with Peter Gabriel as lead singer.

On finishing Cambridge, he had his own TV series Good Evening It’s Jonathan King, running on ITV nationally in the UK on Saturday evenings for 26 weeks. He also ran DECCA RECORDS for his friend the founder, Sir Edward Lewis, in the late ’60s and, as a result, was offered the chairmanship of several large music corporations, which he turned down. In 1971, 1972 & 1973 he was acclaimed as the Producer of the Year. He had several big hits under many different names, often two or three hits at the same time. He produced The Bay City Rollers and sang most of the vocals on their first hit, Keep On Dancing. He backed and produced The Rocky Horror Show. In the ’70s he was one of the most famous and successful British pop stars and producers. He formed his own label, UK Records, and had hits on it with 10cc and others. In 1975 he won the Record of the Year for his own rendition of Una Paloma Blanca. He ran Decca again as a favour for Sir Edward before Lewis sold it to Polygram in the late ’70s. Polygram then offered him the Chairmanship of their music division, which, again, he declined.

He went to New York and had his own daily radio show on top news station WMCA from 10-12 every day in 1980. He started doing regular reports from the States on Top of the Pops in the early ’80s and that developed into Entertainment USA, one of the most popular series on BBC2 in the ’80s, reaching over nine million viewers. He started and produced No Limits which also gained massive ratings of nearly six million and was #1 on the channel ratings chart. He wrote a column in The Sun for eight years in the ’80s, the Bizarre page, & holds the record for the biggest mailbag ever after his column on Live Aid in 1985. In 1987 he wrote & hosted The Brits for the BBC.

By the ’90s he was starting to concentrate more on behind the scenes roles. In 1990, 1991 and 1992 he also wrote & produced The Brits, making hundreds of thousands for Nordof Robbins charity. In 1995 he took over A Song For Europe, the BBC quest for a British Eurovision winner and won the contest for the UK in 1997 with Katrina and the Waves, Love Shine A Light, making millions for tourism in Birmingham. He’s been most recently responsible for the Record of the Year show - a spectacular TV success at Christmas 1998/9 and 2000, getting nearly 10 million viewers on ITV.

He formed The Tip Sheet in 1993. It is the most respected music weekly publication in the world, promoting such future hits as Chumbawamba’s Tubthumping and Who Let The Dogs Out, as well as artistes like The Corrs and Eva Cassidy, whilst they were unsigned or unknown. In fact, JK recorded the original, finished version of Who Let The Dogs Out under the pseudonym Fat Jakk And His Pack Of Pets! He was also involved in the Cuban Boys hit translation of The Hamster Dance Song – Cognoscenti Vs Intelligentsia.

He’s written regular features in many other newspapers and magazines on numerous topics from music to social issues & for the travel section of The Mail On Sunday. He’s had two novels published; Bible Two & The Booker Prize Winner. In Oct 1997 the British Music Industry made JONATHAN KING The Man of the Year and he was feted at a wildly successful dinner at The Grosvenor House Hotel. Other recent recipients have included Beatles producer George Martin and Bond man John Barry."


I personally think he's a big bag of shite and hiring Giovanni di Stefano as your lawyer only adds to his shiteness. For those not au fait with Mr Di Stefano, I offer this cute BBC link. I love the quotes about di Stefano's relationship with fucking Arkan.

Weird scarey bastard

he wrote liner notes for Scott 2. they're funny!

he did at least write the song 'everyone's gone to the moon', covered by Nina Simone to stunning affect.

Sadly, all probably will be forgiven.

is that the same giovanni di stefano who tried to sign edgar davids for dundee? what a tool!

dont know the background of the case, but seven years? dont you get more for tax evasion and the like?

Giovanni Di Stefano also has some sort of link with Dundee FC strangely enough.

Anyway why has he been let loose again? If he was sentenced for 7 years, he should serve that amount.

Yes that is the same Di Stefano. Kiddie fiddlers to world class Dutch midfielders to military warloads, he's been with them all.

Put a bullet in this man's head. Slash his throat. Hack into his windpipe. Stab him in the lungs.

I do not care how it is done.

Kill him.

And if he is sighted wearing a baseball cap, kill him again.

Cut his fucking cock off and feed it to the demons of hell... then force him to eat the ensuing vomit from said demons!

someone will kill him i am sure. especally as he's a cocky fuckin sex pervert.

your a riot you bunch of knobs lol!Everyone knows those who shout down sex pervs are themselves practising pedos or about to practice(still at college or uni studying paedophilia and latin).you are the kind that march with assholes in housing estates hounding out old men who live themselves(cause they must be pedos)and you hold placards that say "peedoes out" and peodofiles burn in heel"...you are a bunch of empty headed monkeys!

In a kind of prophetic ironic way, just send him to the moon.

ok it's obviously time to put the cat amongst the monkies... jonathan king is admittedly a loathsome specimen of barely-human waste but does anyone know what he was accused of? courting, and having bits of sex with, 16 and 17 yo lads. it's only in the last two years that this has become legal, ie several thousand years of sexual inequality, and that to me is a greater crime. although i can't completely agree with turnkey joe, haven't any of you seen the paedogeddon episode of brass eye? fuckin media hysteria is a much greater threat to all of us than jonathan king picking up impressionable lads in his roller. of course he does deserve to die a horrible death, but that's because he made una paloma blanca, a crime worse than several holocausts... and that he was a thatcher-praising tory cunt all the way thru the '80s and therefore deserves to have his liver wripped from his squealing and flayed body and pushed securely up his own arsehole. but try and get the fact that he liked youngish cock a little in proportion huh??? please?? just a thought...

I demand the ability to rate Jonathan King.

That song about going to the moon was a classic.

I'm ashamed to come from Paedoborough.

"That song about going to the moon was a classic. "

He released an 8 CD box set not so long ago with such classics as:

Gay girl
God save the king
One for you, one for me
Riding a reindeer
Flirt
Sex appeal (No Limits theme)
Supershit
I don't wanna be gay
When you're hot, you're hot
The night I chased the women with an eel
Mental diseases
It's illegal, it's immoral, it's unhealthy, but it's fun
Be gay
It only takes a minute

He is quite obviously seriously messed up. He has written some fantastic tunes though, my favourites being "Supershit" and "It's illegal, it's immoral, it's unhealthy, but it's fun".
