A mish-mash of selective quotes, and old man with an attitude possibly still set in the 1960s/70s, a religious fervour convinced of a previous and after life, and a dash of sensible comment thrown in for good measure, its his opinion, its not mainstream opinion, it makes good headlines and sells newspapers.

I seem to recall an England football manager being forced to quit over expressing similar sentiments, although aimed in his case at those with disabilities.
Be interesting to see how long it takes ITV to distance themselves from this batshit lunatic.

Ken's been raving for decades, it won't even raise an eyebrow at ITV. Anyway, aren't there whole religions that are built around the premise that what you get in this life is a consequence of your conduct in past lives?
I remember in an interview once Woody Allen was asked, if there is reincarnation, what he would like to come back as. His answer? "Warren Beattie's fingertips". Anyway, Ken's apologised now. Sort of. http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/coro ... es-1773022

Notice how low profile this story is despite his controversial views.
I'm sure a load of people that read this story are really trying hard to care and find it offensive but at the end of the day its some dude that spent his life acting in Coronation Street.

Its also really easy for a lot of people to simply believe that its Ken Barlow, a fictional character, thats making these comments, which would almost be funny if it were true given whats happened to that wife of his over the years.

Yes that is how I read it as well. His valid points are IMHO that paedo's should be sought out and his point about girls looking old enough ( anyone who has been out for a drink has probably been shocked when it has been pointed out that a girl that looks 18 is infact underage even though SHE states it isn't so) which if a star so inclined (groupies) can mean they get caught out.
May I quickly point out that I have NEVER been caught out nor have any of my friends but one or two have had close shaves through no fault of their own (The girl claimed she was older than she was).
