the sir jimmy savile obe thread

[elbows]

So then, no charges for De'Ath. Which enables him to take a reasonable point, stretch it too far and make all the usual noises about how different the culture was back then and do all that fake guilt over Savile stuff.

there's a well known fashion photographer in the states who strips naked and encourages young models to masturbate him

Is there one who doesn't?

I hope it isn't though, is there any kids tv presenter from the 70's who is not implicated in this?

guido says it is indeed that particular 82 year old from Berkshire.

 

[Citizen66]

A journo told my mate years ago that he was a nonce. Now looking like it might be true.

Which means the other things the journo told my mate might be true.

Re: the '82 yr old' sad really, why can't these people control their urges?, but the full force of the law must now be used...

I think they will soon come a-knocking for the old rockers..

The Ecuadorian Embassy only needed a new fridge when Assange came to stay. If that lot take up residence they'll have to get estimates for a swimming pool.

Never seen a "celebrities you've met" thread that didn't prominently feature this particular octogenarian...

 

[SaskiaJayne]

Its odd that if you search this latest arrest on Google there are several results even naming names but search the BBC website & there is nothing I can find.

 

[frogwoman]

I can't see his name.

I can only think of one entertainer with that nationality. It's not him is it? I've met him!

 

[frogwoman]

oh fuck according to somebody on twitter it could be! fuck!!!!

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Some editor from the Daily Star (so it must be true) has named him on Twitter.

 

[Idris2002]

Although the arrest of a famous celebrity is bound to get people’s attention, it is nothing in comparison to the big scandal which will break in the UK soon. In my view the biggest political scandal ever, bigger even than Watergate. More on that soon enough but you will be horrified to find out what has been going on. So ‘enjoy’ your celebrity sacrifice for today but prepare yourself for the awful truth.

I don't understand why people are still so disbelieving of this

 

[frogwoman]

I believe it, but I'm just shocked!

People are less likely to want to believe something if they actually had a positive impression of the person beforehand.

And in this particular case there is also the fact that some of us heard about this before when he was apparently questioned (but not arrested) months ago, but obviously not everyone heard that talk on twitter etc at the time.

 

[frogwoman]

I didn't know anything about it. And when I met him as a child I remember liking him!

I'm surrprised they didn't hear. All the same old jokes about 2 Little Boys are being repeated as if nobody's heard them before

 

[frogwoman]

No fucking way. Don't get me wrong it's probably true, but I am quite shocked about it. Is nothing sacred? The presenters from Playdays and Matthew Corbett will be next!

But plenty of paedophiles are likeable. How do you think they gain the child's trust in the first place

Not to mention people in a position of trust

Will have to google them
