yes folk are suppose to be innocent till proven (not that thats the case in most court cases). unless numerous victim allegations are made against the same offender then it should be innocent till proven.but my opinion is that theres no smoke without fire in this case.....(just my opinion) not saying its right :)

Janet Street Porter has , in the past, been outspoken, but on this occasion she chose to stay silent.

The man is dead. There is nothing that anyone can do to change what happened in the past......personally I am more interested in the fact that the BBC defrauded governments out of taxes, which should have been paid into the communal pot by TV stars(refusing to employ them unless they took out tax avoidance contracts)..........is there no legal means to sue the BBC for the money?
Their actions were, if not exactly criminal, highly dubious.

Well Janet Street Porter did mention she was left at a hairdressers by her mother when she was about 12 and the man groped her breasts. When she told her mother she was slapped and that is what put her off complaining!

Also if you were in a job and you'd think twice about complaining if the person you complained about was very powerful and could end your career.

Yes he is dead but if you had been abused you'd be aware how bad it makes you feel and that telling someone can help.

Is it the same thing? Who told you 40 people admit to each murder? Don't they get done for wasting Police time?

The Police are going to assess the complaints to see whether to take it further. Surely any liars will be in trouble if their claims do not stand up to scrutiny and being in the right place at the right time.:rolleyes:

My demands really put the dance on the map and 2,000 tickets went like hot cakes. My ultimatum of "no tents, no girls, no me" meant the council had to go through with it."

I think that is David Walliams half way between being one of his charcters from Little Britain he's joking. I've already said this - Savile is clearly heard supporting Gary Glitter which says a lot, it's not a joke.

Also in the the film "Withnail and I" as they are driving along in a car one of the characters shouts out at school girls suggesting he's interested in underage girls...there seems to be a streak in the film world indicating an undercurrent of this kind of activity! For example Bill Wyman got away with it with Mandy Smith who was underage; 13 when she started seeing him.

Yes you have,
Lord Longford was well known for trying to assist the moors murderers, that doesn't make him a child murderer.
I couldn't understand Longford's support of them, I can't understand Saville's support for GG, but that does not make him guilty.

I very much doubt it, one persons word does not mean its true, also it does not mean it is not true.
Unfortunately as the man is dead there cannot be any trial to determine the truth.
What has annoyed and is still annoying me is this, there are too many of my fellow posters on here who have decided he is guilty, based on Media reports and a television program. I thought we were better than that.

Mmm but Lord Longford didn't say killing some kids was OK - he was just trying to help her - because he believed she was mislead by Brady and he got his fingers burned as Hindley used him.

Savile said that what Glitter did wasn't really a crime and it was only for him and that was OK! This is supporting a paedophile's actions - Longford didn't support Hindleys actions, there is a big difference, I think.

I'm so sick of some of the people coming out of the woodwork with facile stories...now it's Liz Kershaw who's saying she was groped on air in the 80's.

Now I could be really crass here and say, they were probably groping for their guide dog, because she could never be described as one of your average stunners.

Instead I'll say that times were less PC than now, there was a certain acceptability about horseplay between males and females in a more innocent age. One dinner time in the 70's I witnessed a bunch of mature women from Highams grabbing a young lad in the Woodnook pub, they debagged him and covered him in lipstick, rouge and whatever else women have in their handbags.

There was no way that this event could be described as sexual, perverted or weird, it was just a few girls having a laugh, likewise I'm guessing that whoever 'groped' Ms Kershaw was attempting to put her off and make her screw up on air.. i.e. having a laugh, horseplay.

Nowadays these things are frowned on, some are even classed as a health and safety risk and many companies have policies forbidding horseplay and of course employment law forbids sexual harassment both real and perceived.

Today those Highams machinists would be fired and on the front page of the redtops, the young lad would be claiming stress and trauma using 'accident at work r us' lawyers. His mum and dad would be serialised in the Sunday rags. 20 more people would claim that the Woodnook was a hotbed of girl gangs and a no go area for any decent male. Thwaites brewery would be dragged into it, and all other Thwaites pubs would be investigated, a similar instance would be found etc..etc..etc..

Don't get me wrong. I'm not making excuses for Jimmy Savile, I'm just appalled at the media witchunt, the bandwagon jumpers and the lack of context for many of the headlines.

Gotta remember he was 40 in 1966 and presenting Top of the Pops - in this day and age no way would a 40 year old be allowed to present a pop program. So he was effectively an old man at the peak of his career in today's terms.

Also he peroxided his hair, it's not that blonde color naturally is it.

Personally I think he's very dodgy...

Gotta remember that the majority of TV presenters in 1966 were around 40. The only TV for kids was watch with mother and crackerjack, which was presented by Eamonn Andrews who was 44 at the time..different time..different criteria...context..context..context!!!

Back in 1971 a pretty dancer who always danced on Top of the Pops comitted suicide and left a diary saying she had been used for sex by several DJ's. Her claims were never even investigated by the Police.

But it begs the question was Savile part of a ring within the BBC - which could explain why no body blew the whistle earlier on.

Before of course so he could be taken through the justice system and punished if guilty.

The BBC appear to think he is guilty - why else would they issue an apology?

Your post sounds like you think its better now when he can't be held accountable for his actions.

My question is posed at the people who are upset that people are coming out with this stuff. From the perspective of someone who doesn't believe it and is a big fan of his - it's better he died before it came out.

That's the point; of course I think they should have come out while he was still alive.

I'm with you Neil...and of course saying 'sorry' for someone elses misdeeds is so comforting...not to those who need the comfort, but for those saying sorry.
Somehow the word 'Sorry' has been devalued because of this trend(maybe the 'Blame and Claim' brigade have something to do with it)...or I am I on my own in this respect.

The man is dead...they can strip of his honour...he won't be bothered......and if there is any true judgement then I am sure he will have been judged already...by his maker.

Re: Sir Jimmy Saville
 
People did complain before he died actually - he was questioned under caution about complaints by a girl at a home and also about the Jersey home incidents but there was insufficient evidence apparently.

Also last year just after he died (but have been being planned before he died) a Newsnight program containing 8 people claiming allegations, was shelved by the BBC last December!

Whenever I see any news report my 'credibility scale' kicks in.

It can be illustrated as being from 1 - 10
1 = I accept it as true----------------- 10 = it must be lies.

In between there are various shades of half truths.

Where you decide on the scale is always subjective and should not be fixed. Your opinion can change as more info comes your way.

At present my view on this Jammy Saville topic is that we are being told half truths.
Whether you consider half truths as deception in another form, is dependent on how flexible your opinion can be.

I don't regard it as healthy to have perception fixed at any point on the scale.

In the past I have pointed out when lies have been so blatantly exposed that #10 has been the only conceivable option.

He said that he'd never been to the Jersey home under investigation then later said he had when a photo was produced of him at the home.

He said he didn't know a girl who commited suicide in the early 70's after claiming she was sexually used by DJ's. The girl was 15 and was a regular dancer on TOTP's and there is a photo of him next to her.

Re: Sir Jimmy Saville
 
Things are interesting on this side of the Pennines. Last week local BBC were reporting on the documentary with near outrage on behalf of the late "Sir Jimmy" today Harry Gration is referring to the deceased DJ as simply "Savile". It seems that the deluge of accusations has tipped even his close media friends (the hideous Christa Ackroyd) into a situation where they are distancing themselves from him.
There have always been rumours about his activities in this part of the world (I live about a mile from Roundhay Park) but I suspect that some of the claims now being made may be due to a Persistence of Memory issue as I find myself looking at footage of the guy with increasing distrust and dismay. A doctor acquaintance was struck off for misconduct after the boys in blue managed to find enough women to complain about his gynaecological technique going back some 30 years. Like some of you are wondering now, I wondered then why no-one had thought to make a complaint previous to the investigation. Unlike with Sir J., the complainants made some financial claims as well.
Real victims should be able to offload their genuine accusations in order to get that all important "closure" I guess, but like by-gone occupants of countries in the now defunct eastern bloc, I suspect that some are joining the queue to denounce because it's there.

At last ! one mainstream newspaper has mentioned Jersey.

Jimmy Savile linked with Haut de la Garenne children's home scandal | Media | guardian.co.uk

The reporting has been sidetracked into reports of gropes of mature women at the BBC - a diversion of your attention from the main problem -pedophilia.

Jersey rules itself and polices itself. This provides it with the ability to provide tax avoidance, but also provides a haven for sex offenders.

PS Jersey is the place where coconuts contain mammalian collagen:rolleyes:

The enquiry into the pedophilia at the Jersey childrens home revealed facts that were suppressed -
ie. there was a cover up.

Saville was a 'bit player', but I hope that revelations about his part in it may cause a re-opening of that enquiry. It will be a difficult thing to do because Jersey is self governing and many of the 'governors' have a vested interest in keeping it under wraps.

Jimmy Savile referred to himself as the Godfather - this is taken from article in the paper:
Quote:

In 1983, he shocked many of his fans and charity recipients by giving an interview to the Sun in which he described violent and sordid incidents from his past. "The people who work for me call me the Godfather," he claimed. "And nobody messes with the Godfather. He is the boss. The big man." And, he added: "Some of the hairy things I've done would get me 10 years inside."

Well do you know, I find it embarrassing, why?

We used to sit there with our kids, he used to do good deed's make dreams come true.

If he is guilty then the people that covered it up are far more guilty.

I still want to think of him as strange but generous. Any cover up of any deed he did, surely needs exposure not of any act's by him but those that covered up those acts!

Surely they can't all be dead?

re: Allegations about Jimmy Saville: covered up?
 
He was an idiot in a way - making stupid noises and so on, but that was viewed as entertainment.

I saw abuse in Accrington back in the 70's but I think perhaps then in the 60's and 70's it was more acceptable in society but now it's not. For example back in those times didn't people used to pinch womens rears and it was accepted? Ok that's not rape but it's still something that was done then but now would bring heavy consequences.

Not that I'm condoning abuse in any form - but things have changed.

Maybe Savile thought that because he did good things for charity and thought that because of that he was entitled to do what it's alleged he did.

I mean whether he did it or not - it's horid thing to say. Why didn't they complain before? They even said nurses told children to "pretend to be asleep!" when he was there in order not to be groped.

I saw a documentary on that, 2 girls went missing and were locked up in this guys basement he had a torture dungeon in there. Policeman were standing in there and they heard one of the kids cough. The head copper dismissed it as coming from outside and no search was made. Both girls were sexually abused and murdered because the head policeman did this - the girls could have been saved!!! There was massive demonstrations about this case in the street - it's obvious the copper was involved.

To consider this just a BBC, hospitals, prisons problem is to have blinkers on.

If you read that link I gave you will read this -

"During the show’s ‘Cash for Questions’ investigation , the first politician who I met was then DTI Chairman, Sir Michael Grylls, who invited me to tea in the House of Commons “tea room” and spent the meeting attempting make body contact with me under the table. After that, I was sent to a political lobbyist named Ian Greer who tried to rub his genitalia against me while he hugged me. On one separate occasion, I was summoned Ian Greer’s offices where Ken Clarke was also present. Greer gave me a two glasses of whiskey and was acting a little, lets say, “over-familiar”. Ken Clarke and Ian Greer were well aware of my age – because I told them. Now, I’m not suggesting that either Sir Michael Grylls, Ian Greer or Ken Clarke are pedophiles, however, but it’s not over-the-top to describe what transpired as questionable behaviour towards a minor – by anyone’s standards – let alone the standards expected from our public officials and government inner circle members."

It seems that people who are in the public eye(those who see themselves as celebs - whether that be media star or political personalities) think they can do anything......that they do not have to abide by the rules of common decency, that they can flout the law without any fear of being found out or, for that matter, brought to book.

I cannot understand why a policeman, and a nurse(who witnessed a sick child being molested) did not make much more of an issue about the goings on they had witnessed. I'm sure the red top papers would have had a field day with this information.
