'Jimmy Savile Police' brings up images of a squad of police in shell suits and funny wigs

 

[Lord Camomile]

Run for the hills, you sleazy bastards.

 

[DaveCinzano]

ITV reporting it as fact.

We are not prepared to discuss further.

TRANSITIVE VERB

 

[Mr.Bishie]

The BBC ain't muttered a fucking word about it.

Compare and contrast:

'Ello, 'ello, 'ello

Now then, now then, now then

I think that says it all.

Reported on bbc now.
Max Clifford arrested.

I wonder if his arrest relates to any role he may (or may not) not have allegedly played in the covering up and/or keeping out of the media any alleged activities of his clients.

Or something else.

I think I will pinch some of Blairs post 9/11 rhetoric.

he could take a few other people down - he must know a lot of secrets about stuff

 

[happie chappie]

"suspicion of sexual offences"

If true far more damaging. Not a great advert for his media skills. If the spin doctor starts becoming the story . . .

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

he could take a few other people down - he must know a lot of secrets about stuff

Maybe they'll all bung him a bit of money to keep quiet. He has enough rich clients

 

[elbows]

The amount of people who must be shitting themselves probably just increased substantially.

 

[killer b]

what a cheering development.

That's what I thought at first, but as butchers points out it's directly related to suspicion of sexual offences.

 

[yardbird]

There's still a few more people on my little list.

First time posting here, but one of my colleagues sent this around the office...]

[happie chappie]

He was, at one time, vehemently anti-Tory and a very prominent Labour supporter. IIRC, he gave them a fair bit of money.

 

[gosub]

he could take a few other people down - he must know a lot of secrets about stuff

or cover a lot of arses. Same as yesterday he hasn't been charged yet.

End of Mr Clifford either way, jai, though not guilty would still fuck him, if not charged sue the arse off the media, and retire collecting large bonus off unnamed clients for diminishing press cred on story.

Sales of incontinence supplies for geriatrics have gone through the roof!

"This is a moment to seize. The kaleidoscope has been shaken, the pieces are in flux, soon they will settle again.
"Before they do, let us reorder this world around us."

I don't think that the investigation, arrest or even conviction of a bunch of dead or nearly-dead old pervs for alleged long-ago perving is going to re-order the world that much.

Giles..

 

[laptop]

he could take a few other people down - he must know a lot of secrets about stuff

Oh yes.

Oh to be working with the barrister prosecuting him... v entertaining questioning

Were there, of course, to be a prosecution.

 

[butchersapron]

Why would he bring in anything he knows? Why would he know anything?

 

[ymu]

Why would he bring in anything he knows? Why would he know anything?

I have a vague recollection of a secretly recorded Max Clifford talking about covering up a client's sexual pecadilloes doing the rounds recently.

 

[butchersapron]

That's him then recording what someone wanting to cover something up has told him. You don't go, hey maxy i'm a massive paedo i done this and i done that, can you help? You talk about minimising potential damage should certain situations arise.

I have a vague recollection of a secretly recorded Max Clifford talking about covering up a client's sexual pecadilloes doing the rounds recently.

i don't think being a paedophile's a peccadillo. a peccadillo's more something like cross-dressing or spanking or foot fetishing. not raping children, i don't think that counts as a little sin.

 

[butchersapron]

MAX HAS ALL THE FILES!!!!

 

[Pickman's model]

MAX HAS ALL THE FILES!!!!

i think you mean 'the police have all the files'
