the sir jimmy savile obe thread

[Gingerman]

Has Jimmy Savile been convicted of anything yet?

Neither Hitler nor Fred West were ever convicted of anything,going by your logic that mean they're innocent then

 

[butchersapron]

A shame that Bone offered no link. I couldn't find anything else out there regarding this story...wonder where he got it from?

Here i expect. And as noted in that article, explanatory notes in the released files openly say it.

Technically speaking, they were both convicted of crimes, Hitler of being a dutty peedo, and Fred West for organising the failed Beer Hall Putsch in Bavaria, which lead to his imprisonment and the writing of Mein Kampf, his famous outdoor pursuits guide.

Oh yes, thanks for the link. I suppose that's where Ian got it from.
So they've redacted on the basis of "..an obligation to withhold personal information and information given in confidence."

How convenient.

Scotland Yard investigation, not arrested in Scotland. Unless there is another arrest story that I've missed.

Aged in their 50's that rules out quite a lot of people, though that hasnt stopped twitter speculation including names that dont match the ages.

Not related to the Jimmy Savile line of enquiry. The name i have read seems fairly well nailed on and will send the board into meltdown lol

go see order-order for the name if you like.

 

[Blagsta]

Nick Nick!

 

[peterkro]

Popbitch.

 

[Firky]

According to this website a TV presenter and stand up comic has been arrested in connection with Operation Yewtree but I can't find anything to confirm this. Google tells me two men were arrested today as part of OY but no details are given.

UPDATE: Confirmed: XXXX XXXX was arrested this afternoon at a West London police station.

Anyone heard anything?

(Apologises if this has already been posted - wasn't sure where to put it)

 

[peterkro]

Popbitch picked it up from the horrible Fawkes blog.No doubt about who it is.
(actual after clicking your link I see you know who it is)

 

[Firky]

Aye, not about to post their name.

I got sent that blog via Kik a few minutes ago, I haven't seen it before or heard of it. Maybe it's bullshit to promote their site?

Looking at their twitter feed it looks like hte kind of thing Jazzz would bookmark :s

 

[ymu]

It's not on any mainstream sites yet, and the TV news did not name him 5 minutes ago. Dunno where that leaves the legals.

Having said that, it is so obvious my partner just said "thought he already had been arrested "

 

[Firky]

I don't think I could handle more puns and shit jokes.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

[Mr.Bishie]

Jim Davidson is trending. Can I remind you all that libel laws apply to twitter accounts...be careful when accusing him of being a comedian

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Well Mark Williams Thomas has confirmed

So any idea who the other one is? PM obviously
