Sir Jimmy Saville

[thecollectorssurplus]

No thread about this on here, so I thought I'd start one. 

My starter for ten is this: Okay, I'm not saying anybody is making anything up, but why did all these people wait till he was dead before accusing him of all this stuff? And quite frankly, now he's dead, what can come from it other than tarnishing a reputation that was spotless and upsetting his grieving family even further. Seems basically wrong to me. Why does someone always have to bring down our heroes and role models? They should have done what they're doing now ten years ago or not at all if you ask me.

Last year he was outspoken against Jimmy Saville,now this,I don't know about anyone else but i find it a bit strange

[cee-dee]

At the time the DJ said what he did to me, I'd just told him that I'd not known before that "the person" wasn't "straight". I also didn't know that the person I was talking to wasn't "straight" either and wondered for a long time why he was less friendly after I'd been outspoken about "the person" and his preferences...... A foot in mouth moment for me!

Paul Gambaccini

another one that, a lot of people will NOT be surprised may have been 'involved', stories about Him doing the rounds for years

Still one out there that will shock, the UK to the core

'I'm the BBC star arrested by the Savile police on suspicion of sexual offences', says veteran presenter Paul Gambaccini

• Presenter confirmed he had been arrested on suspicion of sexual offences by Operation Yewtree officers and denies all allegations
  
• 64-year-old DJ and TV presenter bailed to a date in early January
• 'Not suspected of committing offences with paedophile Savile'
• Has decided to stay off-air following publicity around arrest
  

Veteran BBC broadcaster Paul Gambaccini last night admitted he is the latest celebrity to be arrested by detectives investigating the Jimmy Savile scandal. 

The 64-year-old radio and TV presenter – who last year described Savile as ‘not all good, not all bad’ – broke his silence three days after he was held on suspicion of sexual offences by officers working on Scotland Yard’s Operation Yewtree.

He issued a statement denying the ‘historic’ allegations of sexual abuse after frenzied speculation about the identity of the high-profile suspect arrested earlier this week.

Nobody who isn't famous, that's for sure.

I'm still waiting for somebody to come forward and accuse the old groper who pestered them in the shop or factory - there must be plenty still doddering about out there.

[rose2008-2008]

i WAS JUST THINKING THE SAME EARLIER!!!.

[briar888]

Well if I put my mind to it and wanted to have my dirty washing ironed in public - I could think of a few me-lad-oh's who I could include in the pot.

In my day, if you hung around with these groupees, you expected to be seen as sex objects.  My friends and I were invited to a party with the Beatles - at one of our hotels, a few of my friends went (and I am sure had a good time) - but I was too scared!!  You got pregnant in my day - so rumpy pumpy was out!!!

I think as girls who hang around pop idols and their entourages, you are vulnerable - but to bring it up 50 years later is a bit weird.

The point with Saville is that he was still abusing vulnerable people not so long ago - and to be a volunteer in a hospital and abuse patients - I agree that it should not have gone unpunished.

[i-am-legion-too]

Nobody who isn't famous, that's for sure.

Really? Without much effort, I can think of several who have been in the news recently, eg. David Smith, William Harper, Alan Leger, Ray Teret, to mention only a few. None are exacly household names are they? Afaik none are wealthy, so unlikely candidates to be targeted by the largely imaginary hoards of compensation seekers.

I'm still waiting for somebody to come forward and accuse the old groper who pestered them in the shop or factory - there must be plenty still doddering about out there.

Why the attempt to trivialise? The latest charges against Stuart Hall are far beyond him being accused of being an ''old groper''.

[cee-dee]

Ray Teret used to be a household name.

He was a DJ on Caroline North. I think at one time his "show" was the "Ugli Bug Ball" and he used that as one of his signature tunes too. He used to do "The Ray Teret Show" with lotsa requests. He used to be called "Ugly Ray Teret" and he had a boutique in Douglas on the I of M called the "Ugli Bug Booteek". I think he was on Signal Radio and also Picadilly and latterly on online radio so he's not an unknown?

The Ugli Bug Mixed Booteek? Show your face in the place?

[lost.parrot]

Other than in relation to his association with Savile I, and I suspect most, had never heard of Teret previously.
He is often described as Savile's chauffuer.
His association with Caroline North, Wiki puts at starting in the mid sixties, and ending in 1966
Obviously a big attraction there, before he downgraded to radio palooka.
That would be a household name in his own household then.

In relation to unknowns being charged, you wouldn't generally expect it to appear in the good old DM.Hardly news in their view.You would though hear about someone of interest in the public eye. Indeed several have commented on celebs being mentioned in relation to various charges and how they consider it unfair.Odd then that they still continue reading the same tabloids who are the ones to name them.

[al**bear]

Anyone watch Panorama this week,

Hospital bosses were covering up for Savile as far back as 1962

and Civil servants were trying to get a change to the Law, making reporting such crimes, mandatory for bosses/Headmasters etc, more than 65 years ago, the Government are still refusing to implement this.

Savile didn't just abuse kids, He also RAPED, sick & disabled children, over many many years, this was known, but covered up.

Unknowns

can't really get away with multiple crimes like this, they get reported/caught and charged. It is the People in positions of power or celebrities that get reported and then others cover it up (in his case since the late 50s), this like Savile leads to them thinking they are untouchable, so continue committing these crimes.

The Labour party in Rochdale knew about Cyril Smith, but let him leave quietly, to protect the Party, so He just joined the Liberal party.

[rose2008-2008]

The programme a few weeks back about the MP Cyril Smith was chilling too. DISGUSTING MAN,,, as they all are. WHATS THE MATTER WITH THEM... WHY ARE THEY LIKE THIS?. Im sorry but even where i live you just see pervy looking men about EVERYWHERE. I even have a man nearby who i regarded as a friend who i was having a normal conversation with and then he suddenly said something really out of order pervy wise and shocked me to the core!!!. It upset me as i regarded him as a friend who cared and now i do not even speak to him any more!!!!!. A friendship RUINED!!!. I hate it when this happens. Its like a disease or something.

[rose2008-2008]

More revelations unearthed about the sickening DEPRAVITY of this man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Having S*X with deceased people and taking eyeballs and making them into rings??. Abusing 5yr olds,,,,IT GETS WORSE. This is a Big Story now,, what on earth would have happened if he had been ALIVE?!!!!!.  Oh My!!

If he was alive today ..We wouldnt be having this thread as it would have been brushed under the table.. He was powerfull and could get you the sack if you said things about him ..His money talked for him..He give lots away to good causes..

[rose2008-2008]

Yes i was talking about this Jimmy Savile thing this morning with someone at work,,and thats what she said its Power and Money and people either being too scared to say anything, with or without threats, or him paying off people maybe to keep their mouths shut!. MONEY TALKS they say, its true you know. Visiting Broadmoor??,. He shaould have been LOCKED UP IN THERE HIMSELF!!!.

[astrologica]

And none of these three have been mentioned since in relation to Jimmy Savile, or related cases. That was very unfair, to name them on here. Drag yourself off to the tower.

[rose2008-2008]

Is this a joke?,,is it a secret then?, it was all over the news the other night?, or am i missing something?. LOL. I think things other criminals have done have been mentioned on threads have they not?. Explain Astro?.

[astrologica]

I'm referring to people that Regnum named on here earlier in the thread. Namely Willie Whitelaw, William Waldegrave, and Michael Portillo. None of these people have been mentioned in relation to the Savile case, or any other similar case, as far as I am aware of. In fact, Michael Portillo has gone on to have a career in television. It's not nice to name people without any foundation.

[rose2008-2008]

Oh i seeeee,,well this ones got plenty of foundation i think and so would most of the population if their not P****ILES themselves or of sick mind!!.
