Should Rolf Harris be stripped of his awards?

Should Rolf Harris be stripped of his awards?
My answer is no, yet he has been stripped of many honours which is understandable, however it's a dangerous path to go down. A convicted criminal shouldn't be hindered by his past to pursue his professional career, and on that note I don't think it's appropriate to strip awards that he was given after the time of the offences he committed. It sends the wrong message - the message that anyone with a sex-crime history is unworthy to pursue their passion and achieve.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK


"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
