Really do wish they'd stop plastering his face all over the papers. It's not like the whole country doesn't know what he looks like. I'm sure there's victims that would be avoiding buying the papers just because it's impossible to get away from his smug grin :mad:

Worth quoting from you link

Sir Roger's comments come on the day the investigation into the BBC's child protection and whistle-blowing policies begins.

He was a member of the board of governors between 1997 and 2002, and said he would have stepped down from his Children in Need role if Savile had become involved with the charity.
​
"I think we all recognised he was a pretty creepy sort of character," he said.
"When I was with Children in Need we took the decision that we didn't want him anywhere near the charity and we just stepped up our child protection policies which again would have put him at risk if he tried anything.
"So the way that we dealt with it was by stepping up our child protection policies."

He has become a weapon of mass distraction.
 
Oh so those 'mobile biological weapons labs' that the USA claimed Saddam's Iraq had were actually Saviles campervan?

O'hagan considers this to be the result of a national obession with celebrity which gave the paedophiles carte Blanche. Instead I would argue his own account shows how the class obsessed and privileged closed world of the establishment sought to defend its own against public exposure, welcoming in the new aristocracy of celebrity and according it with the same privileges which it had traditionally afforded the rest of the officer class.

I don't see the distinction between these positions. In fact they seem entirely compatible, and entirely in accordance with O'Hagan's original article.

BTW, has anyone suggested digging Savile's body up and hanging it yet? I seriously wouldn't be surprised if that happens--the British public in a state of hysteria is truly a remarkable beast.

I'm sure I heard it was encased in concrete or was that just a rumour?

Smash the concrete! String up his bones in Parliament Square!

I mean, just imagine if a child was buried next to him. Or God forbid ON TOP of him, which must be a very serious risk now that his headstone's been removed...

It would be if he hadn't been buried in a triple plot.

Nope, they tipped readymix in on top of him, before the gravediggers topped off the grave. It was supposedly done to provide a stable foundation for the ton and a half of marble that got stuck over the grave.
 
Despite the readymix, surely they can dig down below the concrete and get hold of his head. They can then do an Oliver Cromwell with it. That would please the Daily Mail and the Sun no end.
