Oh I realise it mentions a politician's name further on on that link, but I meant on the article itself, or is it another politician? :hmm:
 
I've had to remove some content relating to the claims by Ben Fellows.
This should hopefully explain why I was forced to take such a step.

If you have referred to any of this in your posts please edit them and remove any names (for now at least). [link removed]
 
Will folks PLEASE not post up the names of living people who have not actually been formally accused or charged with anything relating to this topic?
 
I am suspicious of the claims by Ben Fellows. He is not a reliable source. A quick google shows his name in connection to some pretty loony conspiracy sites including Alex Jones. We have to be careful here not to throw all rationality away in the rush to witchhunt. I remember the claims of satanic abuse in the 80s and the way that suspicions regarding their validity were dismissed in the hysteria surrounding them

I don't believe these allegations against institutions are indicative of conspiracy. I think they are really about organisations and the way that both authority is used and abused and how voices of the powerless are ignored and silenced in those contexts. It is no accident Saville targeted hospital patients and institutionalised kids. He knew that noone was going to believe a girl in a reform school over a "national treasure". No need for a conspiracy, just an understanding of the way authority and power works to the advantage of abusers in an institutional and organisational setting
 
I'm pretty sure he named then before - the url of the original link we discussed a week even has 'named' in it. Either way, it's now come to the attention of the tops.

Seem like he spent the 70s and 80s with stuff just passing him by or not doing anything when it didn't, or 'the industry' did - this is him talking about his friend Jonathon King in 2001 - you can change the names to Savile and BBC for the industry:

Former Radio 1 DJ Paul Gambaccini, who was a friend at the time, said he never knew about King's activities.

But he believes the industry may have turned a blind eye to his behaviour while he was still "bankable".

Mr Gambuccini said: "Most of the people in the record industry would not have cared.

"For the great majority, what they would have been interested in about Jonathan King was 'What can you do for me?'"

precisely, even if you havent come across fellows before (which i did when looking into whether g4s were plotting to use workfare at the olympics) it takes seconds to establish he is a far from credible source, yet he still seems to have sucked countless people in
 
Luckily I will get a break from this round of speculation, since I am so out of touch that I dont think I know the names of any actors that are young.
 
Thread shows admirable restraint. :)

If the actor is still underage and the alleged offences were Summer 2010 , he would have been no older than 13 then? Like Elbows, that stops me from speculating, but it's still very depressing. :(
