the sir jimmy savile obe thread

[Ponyutd]

The logic behind the 'pretend to sleep' comment is beyond staggering. In an NHS hospital, a nurse having to say that to a child so they can avoid being abused by a rich celeb. Christ.

The person who rang the show was 28 when this happened. She wasn't a child.

 

[smokedout]

and you did nothing about it.

fucking blood on your hands. or semen.

too old for that, i was 16 by then and had missed my chance with jimmy

And what do you think would have happened to her? She would have been thought to be hysterical and making hideous lurid allegations and probably lost her job.

Then again, you're the twat whose first comment on April Jones going missing was to wonder where her mother was so I shouldn't be surprised

 

[co-op]

Fuck off with this sectarian crap

 

[UrbaneFox]

Is there a transcript of that? I can't watch youtubes or owt atm.

Libcom have article (prompted by the Savile furore but in more general terms discussing rape, abuse and paedophilia) http://libcom.org/blog/paedophilia-rape-culture-10102012

 

[editor]

Blimey. I didn't know libcom was still going.

Close down the BBC.

Rupert Murdoch's intense desire to do just that (free marketeers hate competition after all) couldn't possibly have anything to do with framing this story as being about the beeb rather than say, pop industry nonces.

Where are you getting sectarian from? Certainly not me.

Big Jock Knew and all that shit.

But if that was just a coincidence then I take it back.

It's a long time since "Libcom's down" threads, that's for sure. Still useful for their library although I tend not to go on the forums much.

so what's the point in the picture you posted?

 

[co-op]

Are you really doing to do this?

I see butchers was there before me or at least that's what I assume he's talking about here.

 

[Lord Camomile]

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.

Fuuuuuuucking hell.

Have to say I was a bit non-plussed about him having a room at two(?) hospitals. What on earth where his justifications for that?

Also, where'd that quote come from? It's not in that link?

 

[DexterTCN]

Big Jock Knew and all that shit.

I saw it on facebook, remembered the savile thread here and c&p'ed it. And no, don't bother taking it back, I'll let it stand as saying more about you than me.

I am not aware of savile's religion, if any.

it's in this article http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...-paedo-dj-jimmy-savile-of-sir-knighthood.html

OK I won't take it back, I'll assume you got the connection and you enjoy running crap sectarian shit. So fuck off with that.

in retrospect i'm sorry anchorage was banned, it should have been you.

 

[trashpony]

I just got the cover of the book that Savile did an intro to. It's been posted before and I think it's genuine. What's with the sectarian stuff?

Is it really getting that bad in the anarchist scene?

 

[cesare]

I don't understand the sectarian reference either

Manna from heaven for Uncle Rupe,obviously hoping for it to overshadow a certain phone hacking scandal

What do you mean?

no, that's libcom, it's different.

(From memory, details may be hazy) A Celtic football coach was found guilty of child abuse, his time at Celtic overlapped with Jock Stein's so a rather seedy little campaign under the heading "Big Jock Knew" (ie knew about the child abuse and hushed it up) was started pretty obviously as a part of a sectarian anti-celtic, anti-catholic thing.

It was a few years ago now, I use to run across it a bit on football boards

 

[butchersapron]

I see butchers was there before me or at least that's what I assume he's talking about here.

Maybe it was just pure coincidence a Scottish poster posted that with no comment. Maybe.

Cheers co-op

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.

AFAIK, the legal age for marriage in the state of Texas, and I'm going back to the 1960s, was pretty young - possibly as young as 12 or 13. It's changed now.

Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin ffs!
