jack D and coke Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 My cousins ex fiancé told me a few things that apparently went on there that night. They lived Manchester at the time and she knew a lot of guys from the gay scene there. The guy being arrested in the Cheshire area now is quite coincidental.

I hadn't realised that there were only 8 people at the party. I struggle very hard to imagine the circumstances where one person is violently killed within a group of eight and none of the other seven has something to say to help work out what happened. Admittedly, I've never been to a sex party with more than two people (counting myself) but I still think I could work out by a process of elimination who the chap was with during the last moments of his life and if I was telling the police I didn't know or hadn't seen anything, it would most likely mean that I was deeply involved myself. I hope for the sake of Lubbock's dying father that this arrest leads to confirmation of what actually happened to his son that day and that all parties who contributed to the lad's death (or prevented the truth coming out) are delat with to the full extent of the law.

I tend to agree with you here.... I go nowhere near social media.....back in the day did anyone ever play “Chinese whispers” ? Social media is a modern version but the outcome is the same. Its almost a daily rant now with the mob and what they think they know not knowing the harm it can do to people. If you know something then make a statement of fact, if you think you know something then that’s called an opinion and you need to SEPARATE what you know and what you ACTUALLY don’t know but, If you voice an opinion make sure you state that and remember what you say has a consequence.

JudyJudyJudy Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 The incident happened 20 years ago. I recall the disgusting homophobic media frenzy about it all. Usually lead by the " scum" rag. As others note who knows what the truth is ? The lad went willingly to Barrymores house and was probably impressed by it and the wealth of Barrymore. Barrymore apparently liked " rough trade" and Lubbock fell into that category. A party ensued and its more than likely a copious amount of drugs ( coke ) were taken and alcohol. Inhibitions down and an orgy probably took place. More than likely it was consensual. The reports about " horrific " injuries to Lubbock bottom were never really confirmed. As a note the back passage is a very sensitive and fragile area therefore it could easily have been damaged in consensual sex. And then again maybe not. I think the family of Lubbock have probably held on to the belief that their son was a " victim" rather than acknowledge that it was an accident which probably happened after gay consensual sex. Better to think he was a victim that gay. Sorry but that was some of the prevailing attitudes back then and still exists. I certainly think Barrymore is guilty of hosting a drugs fueled party but not so sure he had any involvement in the lads death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phrase 'horrific' about his injuries came from the post-mortem. No doubt the gutter press focused on that for sensationalist & homophobic reasons but, nonetheless, it hints at something beyond what might be expected from a normal bit of party fun. The PM report also confirms booze, cocaine and ecstasy in his bloodstream. I think, James, if it was an accident after consenual sex, the others involved would have been more forthcoming with their statements. And I suspect that if the police also believed that evidence pointed more towards that, they wouldn't be making an arrest 20 years on.

It’s an odd story really and like you said if it was accidental why not come forward and just explain what happened unless it was a free for all on Lubbock ? That’s the only reason I think people wouldn’t come forward ? But surely there would have been dna evidence if his was the case ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life's never black and white, I'd put money on that something else, something seedy and/or illegal was going on that night that prevents anyone from talking. Who knows, maybe minors were there and they don't want to incriminate themselves, maybe a shadowy gangland figure who doesn't want the world knowing he's gay is forcing silence on them.

Tazio Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I’ve just checked the history of it. I didn’t realise Barrymore and his legal team at one point put forward a defence that the injuries didn’t happen at the party but were inflicted after he’d been taken to the morgue. That’s a pretty extreme accusation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is that there were 8 at a party including females and Lubbock was found floating in the pool. At the first inquest into his death. "Medical experts told the hearing that he had suffered severe internal injuries, suggesting he may have been the victim of a serious sexual assault" Reminds me of a murder in a crowded bookies in Shettelston a long time ago. Apart from the victim everybody was in the toilet when it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be relatively ‘risky’ at the time to have two blokes kissing. Especially as it’s kind of a break from stereotypical ‘camp’ gays that were on tv to that stage, with two ‘masculine’ gay men in gangster and fireman. It’s my favourite all time show . Incredibly written and acted . I love love livia Sopranos view of life ! Comical at times . Her character was the real driving force in the series . Unfortunately the great actress who played her , Nancy Marchand died . David chase had various storyline lined up which included her testifying against Tony in court but didn’t proceed with them due to her death . Yes the gay storyline was ground breaking for its time as the mafia is often portrayed as so macho so obviously there are no gays in it !! 😀 sadly there were a lot of anger from die hard toxic masculine men who who were fans of this show but got offended by the storyline ! I liked Tony’s attitude to Vito when he hoped that all the bosses would be more accepting of Vito . But it was the Phil Leotardo who sealed Vito fate !
