True...they'll still be funded by some members on here tho as they won't believe it and won't want to let there fellow citizens who do pay down

Re: Sir Jimmy Saville

I'm seeing this as a nice money-spinner, I was around Sir Jimmy fairly often during childhood, up until I was 16 when my Grandfather died, that's the last time I saw him. I may say he fiddled with me in the toilets, that'll get me some pretty pennies won't it...

Or maybe not.

If we didn't live in this 'Compensation' loving society I doubt half of the 'allegations' would be occuring. It's all quite sad. I don't 'Know' that he's innocent,of course-I just think it's all a bit too far-fetched, a bit unrealistic, now.

Re: Sir Jimmy Saville

The worst thing about this story is that Savile’s “tendencies” were well known by the police and by the BBC (his employer, which is, by the way, funded by British taxpayers) for years but nothing was ever done to stop him. Quite to the contrary, while Savile was aggressively preying on children, the BBC covered up his crimes while the police (took bribes?) ignored him.

While he is dead and (thankfully) gone, many others still remain.

How many more jimbo's are still in the industry?

Is that the same caravan he was allowed to put on hospital property to nonce kids? (they even give him the keys)

So how did he get away with it for over 40 years?

I can only assume he had help to keep it all hush hush and under cover. BBC? Police? Masons?

It needs to be fully investigated,but I am not sure that the police or another govt agency should be doing it.

So will Jimmy Savile, from now on, be known as the Pope of Paedophiles? As there have been 200 official complaints and the NSPCC claim it's the biggest ever complaint about child abuse they have ever had! And there are to be investigations into some other people still alive.

Re: Sir Jimmy Saville

knighted by the queen, awarded by the pope, and we are led to believe they or at least their advisors never knew of his perversions?
Victims came forward years ago but were told basically to be quiet Jimbo must have known it would come out sooner or later but Increasingly it seems that he was a protected man.
Savile was for years a regular guest of Margaret Thatcher at her official country house when she was Prime Minister Even best friends with the adulterer Charles windsor, a frequent visitor to Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and Highgrove (Prince Charles’ estate). Indeed Prince Charles had visited Savile at Savile’s retreat in Glencoe, Scotland...I find it hard to accept that nobody else wasn't in some kind of collusion with him

Then there is the Labour25 Scandal.. read about it here http://labour25.com/


did the BBC expose either? i think not

I think you have issues here that you may realise more when you are older, at the moment you seem to think you are invincible, even though you won't agree I think you are a very vulnerable young woman. And don't go down the compensation culture line with the people who have spoken, it's offensive. ' Lovely Uncle Jimmy, couldn't do any wrong' - blame the children because they were up for it or now as adults telling lies? How dare you? Just because they're now adults doesn't make them any more vulnerable at the time they were abused. Do you know they are claiming compensation? We need in law to take the word of the people who were children at the time they claim they were abused - hopefully the aim is that children will not be subject to such treatment in the future. Think about it.
