the sir jimmy savile obe thread

[butchersapron]

He's dead now. The C4 story here. Wonder why she didn't mention this when calling him a liar the other day?

Guardian reporting that:

Wow. If she can substantiate that, he's toast. Presumably these were the emails the Beeb's lawyers stopped getting into the Panorama programme?

After today's evidence given by the Director-General, Rippon is toast anyway, whatever else come up.

The D-G might be as well.

Not seen any footage yet, just a couple of his 'dunno' answers. I'm guessing the word hapless will be having a run out in tomorrow's papers.

Not sure why Gambaccini is being quite so vocal about all this

I've heard a new disturbing rumour that Savile never actually used to run any marathons. Just wave with his cigar in mouth and get picked up round the corner.

Yeah, and I've heard he never ever really fixed anything.

 

[kavenism]

Have you heard the one about him procuring for the satanic lizard illuminati?

 

[weltweit]

Yeah, and I've heard he never ever really fixed anything.

I recon he fixed plenty for Garry Glitter!!

The BBC is getting a right kicking over this - but the media seem to be leaving other people alone - afaik the evil Thatcher spent 11 New Year Eves with Savile - surely her security team checked him out before hand? If they didn't check him out - why not ? If they did, and didn't find anything, how would the BBC be expected to find out more?

I think (but I could be wrong) there's a little subplot evolving here from the Murdoch press. They are kicking up a stink about it to try and generate a crowdswell of support to strip the BBC of its licence fee. Meaning that it would become a commercial station. And he could buy it. Hence the front page of the Sun today. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4604080/Jimmy-Savile-BBCs-abuse-of-your-licence-fee.html

I think it was FM who said on the other thread that the Murdoch press is doing what any business would be doing in this situation. Seeing that the BBC has plunged itself in a pile of poo, any media business would be wise to attack it and make deals with others to attack it. Especially the Murdoch press. Think about it, we are talking about a business owner who recently had to close a paper that supposedly carried the flag for all paedo victims. They are going after everyone they can, that's what any business would do. This past weekend, the Sunday Times's article (Thatcher aide 'had sex with underage boys') stated that senior Tories covered up for 'a noted pederast' Sir Peter Morrison who was Thatcher's aide.

Oooh, missed that.

I'll put it on Google docs. They spoke with Edwina Currie. Ok, she is a picece of shit herself. But it shows that even TST is doing its best to be seen as balanced atm.

Currie who got Savile the formal keys to Broadmoor.

 

[little_legs]

Yep, she did. I know.

Thanks for doing that. She even suggests the use of violence by Morrison.

Does she? I thought she was making the point that the police wouldnt take it seriously unless there was violence involved. Or maybe you meant something else she said, the stuff about witnesses not being protected?

 

[cesare]

Did anyone else read the link in #1124?

Yes, i was just pushing what she said too far - in the half-time gap.

Morrison shows up in a 1997 article about North Wales child abuse:

I think you mentioning ICKE may have put people off.

That forms part of the link on #1124, I think.

True His was a contribution rather than the whole piece though, I think.

Not sure why Gambaccini is being quite so vocal about all this

As I said a couple of weeks ago, probably guilt as much as anything. He was known to be gay by his contemporaries at a time when being gay was just being decriminalised, and may well have kept his mouth shut back then so that no-one outed him, which would have pissed all over his career.

 

[elbows]

Same sort of thing but no overlap of names between the two articles as far as I can tell.

It's the same case though? The North Wales one?
