Thanks - you've saved me a post! That is the whole point to me. Why would someone refuse to help with an enquiry which gives the parents some information about what happened to their son.

It's about time the Lubbocks got over it, and stopped hounding this poor innocent man.

truer words were never spoke. he wants to live in the limelight, that entails therefore being transparent when his name is tied in with such a serious accusation.

whats the harm in meeting the folks? heck he could show it on tv, he is desperate anyway. it would really shame the sceptics and he could smell like a rose.

How can you give information you don't have?

100% these papers did NOT get to even £ndemol let alone C4.

Maybe you are too young or too stupid to know the details of what happened. You obviously do not have children or do not have any compassion at all. you poor poor thing.

He has apparently given no information at all - he at least would be able to tell the police who was at this party so they had some leads to go on.

As for you stating that it's time they got over it, try putting yourself in their place and think about how you would feel if someone you loved was killed and you had no idea who did it or why. Yet again, the lack of empathy or caring on this board is staggering!

How do you know what information Michael does and doesn't have? The point is, that someone with a little empathy and nothing to hide would at least acknowledge the parents of a person who died on his property. Maybe visit them, write to them, offer his condolences and all of his co-operation in finding out what did happen to their son. Running off to NZ for 4 years just tacitly says that they're loss is less important than his pride.

If this was a real concern it would be done out of the media spotlight. As it is, it is funded by newspapers (The Mirror I believe? perhaps someone can verify that) for the purpose of selling newspapers and exploiting both a family who have lost someone as well as an individual who happens to be famous.

The only result this can have is a growing anger and distaste towards the Lubbock family (when they are actually being manipulated) and the racking up of the memory of a dead man for light entertainment purposes and salacious newspaper stories.

The whole thing is disgusting.

he has information he just wont share it

he hides behind his recovering alcoholic status

What you've said is completely true. I suppose that perhaps from the family's point of view however, it's giving their case more coverage, be it bad or good. They may hope that is persuades people who were there to come forward and help.

yep, that's how I see it

He has been through all the necessary interviews and I can't see him suddenly piping up now. Rightly so, the parents need somebody to blame and Michael been who he is is the perfect candidate. I find it very odd that not one person knows what happened, if this guy had not been a celebrity the whole lot of em would have been arrested! That said, I personally would not like to see him served with them on live tv and just wish the chaps parents would realise that whoever is funding this and egging them on could not a give a rats arse about their son and just wanna sell newspapers.

I know every single detail, more than you do on the subject. Which is why I am not blind to the tabloid lies you obviously believe. As for being stupid, well, that's you not me.

How do you know that he (or his representatives) have never contacted them?

So if you know a lot about the case, is it, or is it not true, that he has not helped the police with their enquiries at all???

I appreciate that he may have given everything he knows to the police. I imagine he was probably off his face at the time and can't remember. My point was (referring to my next post) that ignoring them is the height of insensitive self-obsessed arrogance. Their son died at your house - if you can't give answers at least give support.

Can't the police arrest (and charge) someone for that? If they believe their enquiries are being thwarted?

Have they ever arrested MB?

If they haven't (and we must remember the police know vastly more about the case than any of us - and the press) then that is the end of that accusation against Michael Barrymore I think.

Why should he? There was no evidence of foul play. There were several witnesses too.

thanks for that.

I'm making an educated guess that he hasn't approached them in any kind of sympathetic way because they are still shouting at every available opportunity for answers from him. If he'd sent his representatives that is as bad in my eyes as not bothering to speak to them at all.

Without being graphic, I thought there was a fair amount of evidence that he was sexually abused.

As to your statement, "Why should he?" I would say that most people in his situation, where someone died at his house, would want to help, if only to get the case solved so that he and everyone else can start to rebuild their lives!

How do you know?

What do you know?

maybe they should concentrate on getting on with their lives! instead of instigating a media cirus! what else can be said that wasnt said at the time!??? every time i open a paper i see his dads name!! he is upset and is looking for someone to blame, but he's looking at the wrong person! i hope they lock them in the bb house for about twenty years lawers like that deserve that!!

Encouraged by the press they are doing this yes.

So it is entirely possible that either MB himself or representatives may have contacted them.

Thankyou.
