by his own admission, he was happy to abuse under age girls. Why do people let him off so easily?

I've always despised Peel for his false scouse accent if nothing else, but I don't think you can put him in the same bracket as Savile. Peel, by his own admission, had relations with teenage girls - See his comments about heavy petting and not checking ages at the door. In other words he took advantage, which I'm not defending, but unlike Savile he wasn't a bullying predator who got off on the damage he was causing. Still an arsehole though and it's always got on my nerves how venerated he was so it'll be nice if his reputation is now so tattered that even the most skillful seamstress couldn't hope to stitch back together

I'm sure there was a thread started on here discussing Jimmy Savile's vile activities about 5 seconds after this vile oxygen thief stopped stealing oxygen but I was obviously wrong. I'm guessing most well known people in the 70s who looked like paedos were paedos, what we need to know is who is dead & who isn't so we know who to accuse & who we cannot for legal reasons. We are not talking small numbers here, ridiculous looking long hair & sideburns teamed with tye/dye grandand vest, loon pants & stack heeled boots made the most mundane of men look like vile paedo scum. All of Sweet for example but of course they wern't except possibly the late Brian Connolly. :D

Nah. You were wrong on that thread, and you're wrong on this one. It never was just about him looking wrong.
 
No not wrong, what started out as an attack on Savile & his partners in crime appears to have turned into an attack on an entire decade.
You don't think the cultural context is relevant? I think it's absolutely fundamental to why he was allowed to get away with it for as long as he did. Nothing happens in a vacuum
 
Is this thread the best place to divide all famous people into "nonce", "suspected nonce" and "potential nonce"? ;)
We've had a series of sophisticated statistical models for sorting out rent sharing, surely Urban can rise to the challange. Right, 10 points for mad eyes, 5 for flyaway hair, 250 for being a DJ, 500 for singing at Wimbledon...

I'm not disagreeing with you, Indeed as I pointed out, most men in the 70s looked like paedos & it appears that the 'just because he looks like a paedo dosen't mean he is a paedo' charade has now been discredited by Savile who did look like a paedo, actually being exposed as one. :D

Steady on there... :mad:
 
I was re reading some of the stuff about Gary Glitters convictions...
wiki said:
He was also charged with having sex with an underage girl, Alison Brown, around 20 years earlier, when she was 14 years old. She had had a relationship with Glitter for some years.[9] Glitter was acquitted of this charge. It was later revealed that Brown had sold her story to the News of the World and stood to earn more money from the newspaper should Glitter be convicted

iirc she decided to press charges after finding the child pics on his computer. I wonder if that was actually considered?
 
I still cant quite get my head around how he was allowed his own flat at the hospital. Well I can, money, but it still boggles my brain.

A caller named Laura told 5 live's Your Call programme she had overhead nurses talking about Savile one day.
'Pretend to sleep'
"There was chatter and miserable faces about the fact that Jimmy Savile was due to do what they called his particular ward round that day, and they were talking to themselves about which one would be, as they put it, 'the chosen one' to go off with him to his little room," she said.
"I just remember the nurse tucking me in and saying, 'The best thing you can do is stay in bed and don't ask to be put in a wheelchair today and pretend to be asleep'."

I did my YTS at a photographic printing and repro company nearly 25 years ago that had a big contract with yorkshire television. everyone knew back then that saville was a nonce from the despatch riders to management.
and you did nothing about it.

fucking blood on your hands. or semen.
