THE 1970s have been arrested on multiple charges of gross sexual misconduct by pretty much every bloke of the era.
In the first case of its kind, the Crown Prosecution Service decided it was simplest to charge the decade as a whole, since absolutely everyone from Benny Hill to John Peel was at it.
CPS spokesman Nathan Muir said: “From secretaries being treated like bunny girls in the executive boardroom to rock stars unable to go a whole album without a song lusting after 16-year-old girls, or younger, it was rampant.
“Men certainly knew what was going on because every last one of them was doing it.”
Seventies bloke Tom Logan said: “We didn’t talk about ‘harassment’ back then. It was just a bit of ‘how’s your father’, a bit of a ‘leg over’, bit of ‘chance would be a fine thing’.”
“What you’ve got to remember is that these were saucy times. We were all saucy. A pinch on the bottom was considered a deeply respectful compliment, which it was. It’s saying ‘Well done, love, for having a lovely arse’.”
“Schoolgirls were more sophisticated back then. They were up for it. They went all the way. That’s why they were played by 32-year-old women on the telly.
“Yes, they were all asking for it. Well, not from me. I’m an arsehole.”
