the sir jimmy savile obe thread

[albionism]

LOOK AT HIS EYES!

 

[Kidda]

freddie starr's appearance on the news last night was a new high.. appearing alongside his 34 yo wife the 69 year old denied he was attracted to young girls and suggested that as his accuser went to an approved school she shouldn't be believed.

Lets remember he hasn't been charged or found guilty of anything.

All this trial by media is making me feel very very uncomfortable.

What the fuck has Freddie Starr got to do with this thread?

 

[DotCommunist]

Personally I prefer to think that someone is innocent until proven guilty. I am not saying that Jimmy is innocent nor guilty, it just seems that in a very short space of time the media have decided that he is guilty without any propper due process.

almost like loads of people in the biz already knew and are reacting swiftly to make up for earlier complicity.

Jimmy can't be adjudged guilty or innocent by any mortal forces now btw.

wether those who knew and kept schtum might face charges remains to be seen

BBC to do Panorama investigation on Savile, ITV to put out Exposure follow up:

Thought that said 'BBC to do Paranormal investigation on Savile' then. That would be interesting

Wasn't he on Clunk Click with Saville?

 

[editor]

Oh well. I tried.

What the fuck has Freddie Starr got to do with this thread?

He's now being accused of assaulted a young girl with Jimmy Saville, he was on the news last night looking broken and saying he hadn't done anything.

They were trying to make him remember a school girl who sat behind him on a tv show 40+ years ago.

It was all very strange

I am surprised we have not heard anything from HIGNFY team.

Why would we? The infamous transcript had nothing to do with them.

Snoopy's death mask?

 

[quimcunx]

I might try ebaying my autograph.

Your autograph is probably worth more than Jimmy's now.

Not if it's on a confession.

(Savile's autograph, to be clear, before the thread takes a turn )

 

[friedaweed]

Can I be the first to say that that lead balloon does look like a wrong'un

 

[cesare]

Your autograph is probably worth more than Jimmy's now.

There might be someone with a macabre wont and deep pockets *lives in hope*

 

[DotCommunist]

a lot of his gear was auctioned off before the news broke. Someone paid thirty quid for saviles machete. Can't remember how much his starry strides fetched, or his voodoo stick.

Really? I thought it was from HIGNFY. I am sure JS appeared on it and there was a lot that was cut.

So is the recording we have all listened to on the internets from a different show?

There is NO RECORDING because the transcript was MADE UP.

I thought that transcript was known to be a fake. You're saying there's a recording of it? link?

What the fuck has Freddie Starr got to do with this thread?

He was accused of groping a 14 yr old girl on one of Savilles shows, and "new" video footage has shown that the girl who has made the accusation was on the show when he was on it.

 

[gaijingirl]

Freddie Starr has just been interviewed on This Morning along with his wife. I wonder how many other stars from that time will be implicated in all this?

 

[Favelado]

I just held a brief trial in my head for Freddie Starr and found him guilty beyond any reasonable doubt.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Should we not also do a John Peel OBE thread/discussion ? Folk are seemingly letting John Peel off the
hook because he was cooler than Savile and introduced us all to some fantastic music etc..There seems to
be a bit of a Roman Polanski ting going on with Peel, ie lots of folk defending him because of how "great" he was..
..He was a dodgy geezer by his own admission.

Letting Peel off the hook for...marrying a 15 year-old in a state where it was legal to do so? For claiming to have been given blow-jobs by teenage girls? For dressing up as a schoolgirl?

I mean come on, draw the equivalences between the two, if there are any, but otherwise, you're just insinuating that one DJ was as bad as the other.

You mean you don't remember the bit where Savile stubbed out his cigar in Bugs Bunny's eye? Oh.

You can't give the reputation of a dead man "due process". Once you've karked, you're fair game.
The weight of evidence against Savile, even from those who one would expect to be "on his side", does tend to weigh quite heavily in the public mind.

He's said he's going to start eating squirrels instead of hamsters, and asked whether you'd like him to hang around on your balcony.

I heard he was into young beavers.

heh. Would have thought it a bit of a leap from reading something to imagining you'd seen it. Apparently not.

Cooked and Bombed, I'd forgotten about that site. One of the first I used to visit when I got online.

In that case I am confused. I am sure there will now be some people who say: 'No, it is real!' Hm.
