Jimmy Saville

  1. The BBC have axed Bob the Builder !

    They said that they could not cope with the adverse publicity of another personality who could claim to fix things for people !
     
  2. Im more fkd off that the entire time he was alive the guy was a fkn hero??

    Not ONE word of what he was doing from anyone? As soon as he gets in the ground 400+ people said he touched their bottoms?? Fortunately he is now dead and can't deny any of it, getting increasingly deeper in shite??


    On a lighter note someone Photoshop a "Jim Jizzed It For Me!" Jim'll fix it badge! Its been a long week and I need a giggle :upyeah:
     
  3. I received the email about Savile that was doing the rounds back in, uh, around 1999? It was sent to me by a friend who worked on the fringes of the media, television and films.

    The email purported to be a transcript of a Have I Got News For You show, featuring Savile, from around that time. The transcript contained "dialogue" that was cut from the broadcast version of the show and it featured some really scathing stuff, allegedly from Paul Merton, including accusing Savile of being a pedophile. The transcript accounting for about 90 minutes of filming which was later cut to the normal 45 minute slot.

    At the time I took it all with a pinch of salt although, even then, the things Merton allegedly said about (and directly to) Savile during the non-broadcast part of the show seemed within the realm of the possible. My own visceral feelings back then concerning Savile were, "He's undoubtedly guilty of something". Just a hunch, really.

    The email was widely circulated but I never saw anything in the Press about it, or the allegations therein. It was very funny but also very, very disturbing.
     
  4. No wonder those scouts couln't keep their grub down.
     
  5. i remember this caused quite a stir at the time.
     
  6. It was an urban myth. Was never in the show.
     
  7. on the news today it said that 7 other celebs were under investigation. it was alleged that there could have been a paedophile ring at the BBC in the 70's. One of the alleged celebs was Freddie Starr.

  8. Just been on the radio, Gary Glitter has been arrested, linked to the Saville Paedo goings-on.... (True!! Who'da thought it?? :biggrin:)
     
  9. This is much bigger than anyone realised. I wonder who else will be implicated? As has previously been mentioned, there are 7 people implicated and up to 300 potential victims. That is major news.

  10. There's a bunch of DJ's that were around at that time that were distinctly creepy. Be interesting to see who comes out of the woodwork.
     
  11. I'm thinking someone big at the BBC had a lot to do with it, or was part of the group, hence the 'radio silence'?

    This will end up with a LOT of known names with egg on their faces. :wink:

  12. The links to the 'aide' inside 10 Downing Street will be interesting.

    On 24 October 2012, Tom Watson MP, speaking at Prime Minister's Questions, said that a powerful pedophile network may have operated in the UK with links to Parliament and Downing Street.

    Mr Watson said: "The evidence file used to convict paedophile Peter Righton, if it still exists, contains clear intelligence of a widespread paedophile ring.

    "One of its members boasts of a link to a senior aide of a former prime minister, who says he could smuggle indecent images of children from abroad..."

    "The leads were not followed up..."


    In 1992, Peter Righton was convicted of importing child pornography from Holland.

    PMQs: Powerful paedo ring in UK Parliament (24Oct12) - YouTube

    Prime Minister's Questions: MP Tom Watson wants an investigation into a powerful paedophile ring in Parliament and people who wporked in the past at Downing Street. Don't forget, it was politicians who shelved "Operation Ore" when it was found politicians, police, and judges were on the list of those downloading child "porn".

    More revelations to come...?

  13. This morning, police have arrested a 68-year-old man in connection with the 70s paedophile ring at the BBC.

    A spokesman for the Met refused to give details, but said, "We believe we have the leader of the gang."

  14. Hmm, now you come to mention it, never much cared for that hairy sandwich, the BLT
     
  15. Classic!!!

    Personally think all this JS stuff is getting ridiculous the bloke is dead and buried he can't exactly defend himself now....all these allegations true or not to be raked up now is pathetic...why did these people not stand forward at the time?? I'm sure it's partly a case of people rubbing there hands together now for a few £££££!! At the end of the day the bloke was seen as a legend let him R.I.P not RIP his legend apart!
     
  16. I agree. Why didn't these people come forward before, and why didn't those that did, pursue it thoroughly?
     
  17. Because the majority of the media are dying to see the BBC fail, that's why. And the Savile case has provided them with all the ammo they need. Having said that, there is obviously a lot of meat to this case, which is why it's being pursued so heavily. Hey, if he was a paedo he needs to be outed as such, but if they're wrong let's hope their apologies get as many column inches...
     
  18. It didn't come out before because he had a massive reputation as a charity worker and was seen as a top bloke who made people's dreams come true.

    So you are some underaged little nobody - you think you'd be believed?

    Power doesn't like to be told the truth. It will often go a long way to making sure it doesn't come out (cf the Lance Armstrong case). If you take on a heavyweight, in most instances it will be uncomfortable for you. The reason it can come out now is precisely because Savile can't marshal an entire army of lawyers and bruisers to shut people up.

  19. It sickens me that this can be allowed to go on?

    "Hey, didnt he just - "

    "LEAVE IT"

    "But he touched that little girls-"

    "I SAID LEAVE IT!!"

    Typical British blind-eye scenario, stiff co** and stiff upper-lip... We managed to create the British Empire by beating,raping & torturing our way across India, Africa etc and that same basic level of fear, intimidation & retribution stays with us today!

    I want to see some people named, shamed, and in jail, regardless of how frickin' "nice" they are.
