Not long ago, the BBC blocked the airing of a documentary that detailed Jimmy Saville's abuse of children over many years. Now there is another chance that Saville's criminal past will be aired on ITV. The courage of the investigating ex-policeman should be applauded. Exposing networks of paedophiles is a dangerous business, and Jimmy Saville was protected by a wall of media silence for decades. They allowed him to get away with the blatant lie that he had never visited the Jersey children's home where abuse is alleged to have taken place.

One of Saville's victims recalled how nobody would listen to her or take her seriously. Well, now they will surely have to, and perhaps we will see the lid coming off the paedophile conspiracies in a similar way to the exposure of child abusing priests in the Catholic church.

ow's about that then? :

Quoted from that article is this section about the BBC Newsnight report on Saville's "activities" being dropped:

"One woman is said to have waived her right to anonymity so she could talk about her ordeal on Newsnight. A subsequent decision by the BBC not to broadcast the report led to allegations of a cover-up, but a spokesman insisted the story was dropped for editorial reasons."

Sorry? Editorial reasons? Ok I don't know if a bomb went off or something on the day it was due to be aired but even if that were the case, why was it not aired asap afterwards? Blatant cover up.
The can of worms on the sick bastards involved needs to and will be opened. Hopefully this is a sign that it will be soon and people can actually get some justice.

I wonder if the Necro shit is really true? Weird fucker anyway, scary pic in the sun online

Well if they wre pursuing it in the first place, what "substantiation" were they expecting to find apart from people saying he did it? It was a long time ago - that's going to be all you're going to get.

The most sinister part is

Being dead now, if he did it, he got away with it. But you have to wonder who these other guys were that really should be looked into properly.

I think he was a strange guy but dont think he was a paedophile.

Never met him so have no idea if he was a beast or not.

Well, that people have never met them or don't know them is no proof of guilt or innocence. What should be listened to AT LAST are the amount of unconnected people who have nothing to gain trying to TELL what this man, and others did. My sister lives on Jersey, C.I., and there are still plenty of people on that island whose stories about him, and others, are too similar to be ignored. Although they have been, so far. Because such people are "nobodies" with "no money" who haven't got "powerful friends" and who "count for nothing".

They've never stood a chance against him and his like - nor do those children who are still undergoing bad treatment at the hands of other Rich and Famous people we all think we know because the BBC and newspapers tell us who they are....

All I meant was that I was in no position to be able to offer up any meaningful judgement, having nothing to base that upon personally.
I'd be the last person to suggest that allegations of child harming go uninvestigated. Even if it is too late to prosecute the perpetrator, perhaps their cohorts can be held to account or their victims helped to heal.

I know that's not what you meant, feather, and sorry to have come across so snappish.

But we have to start really pushing for the investigation of all allegations of child abuse - even after the children and grown, even after the perpetrator is dead. The more it can be shown that this type of person can be as guilty (or innocent) as the seedy old bloke down the road, the better. And fekkers like the BBC bosses, who'd do anything to cover tracks - often including their own - and preserve business at the expense of children should be well and truly outed.

It might be too late to do anything about "Uncle Jim"; but the BBC needs whacking out of existence. And as for the few feudal families who completely control Jersey, C.I.....

It just makes me angry that today we know child abuse is rife, we know that any and every sort and level of person is involved - and still, when children (grown or not) come forward to tell, they get the same gags and bad treatment as ever.

It needs a public and thorough investigation, if nothing else, without the BBC being able to deflect and dictate.

I've nothing much to add to your observations Cantata, because you've covered it all.

Investigate properly, expose, name & shame, prosecute and wipe out these twisted, predatory maggots. Stamp them out of existence!

If I was related to Saville, I'd be demanding an unimpeded investigation - after all, if he's innocent, he should surely be exonerated.

I certainly heard tales about him over the years, from people who had either worked at the Beeb in the 70s or knew people who had. One story that cropped up a few times was that when Savile was working on Top of the Pops, he would often have underage groupies, who he would beckon to his dressing room which would then be locked...

This kind of thing was rife in the 70s and of course he was also a good friend of Jonathan King and Gary Glitter...
