the sir jimmy savile obe thread

Andrew Neil got his lengthy 1995 interview with Savile onto youtube. I havent watched more than half of it yet but it looks like Neil does quickly get into areas that were 'difficult' for Jimmy and as usual many of the answers were bad enough at the time, let alone with what we know now. Some of his 'old friends' appear on the screen and say things about Savile that were rather personal to say the least.

"Women know too much. I'm all for girls that dont know too much. Different class, see."

Then compares himself to Jesus, then says he's never been a grass, wont grass on the ladies. Then eats a banana, gets all defensive, talks a load of shit about sex and falling in love multiple times a day. Really uncomfortable viewing.

Slippery customer, but Neil looks like he's got the size of him.

Andrew Neil's history as a Murdoch hatchett man clouded my opinion of him but he's a canny interviewer even back then.
 
I can only read the start of this but anyways...

The beginning of a friendship between Margaret Thatcher and Jimmy Savile is recorded in a florid letter written by the disc jockey and signed with three kisses.
The entertainer, who since his death last year has been accused of being a serial child abuser, wrote to the Prime Minister after they met at Downing Street in February 1980.

Great photo too.
 
Ta. I've just been reading the documents from the national archive site.

http://filestore.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/prem-19-878-1.pdf

Some redactions here and there.

Details not covered by that article include:

"Success in this appeal will contribute to an understanding of our policy of involving the public in supporting the health care system."

Dr Vaughan favoured a symbolic gesture rather than NHS money, such as donating the first brick!
 
In what way? I had trouble with the handwriting in the first few but the rest are very readable, though not all that interesting.
 
Maybe it's just my eyesight :(
I'm not the best at reading really tinily formatted documents online. Will try again though.

ETA : Nah, simply too small, most of it :(
