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

He has certainly been discussed on here recently.

“but why did all these people wait till he was dead before accusing him of all this stuff”

They didn't!........................It now transpires that several of them complained at the time, but no action was taken, mainly because the BBC wanted it kept quiet, they didn't want a scandal.....Several staff members and at least one producer, knew what Saville was doing but were effectively warned off or bullied into keeping quiet.

“And quite frankly, now he's dead, what can come from it other than tarnishing a reputation

that was spotless”

His reputation was not spotless!..........Many knew of his insidious behaviour but were frightened to speak up, or as I have already said, were warned off..........................He was even asked outright by Louis Theroux on a TV programme in 2000 how he felt about the long standing rumours of him being a paedophile, which, if memory serves, he did not deny or admit, only stating that it was up to the accusers to prove their claims.

“Why does someone always have to bring down our heroes and role models? “

He might have been your hero and role model, but he certainly wasn't mine, I never liked the guy and had him pinged as a wrong un years ago........But if there are those who have “modelled” themselves on him, that is their choice, although personally I don't think it is something they should be too proud about.

“They should have done what they're doing now ten years ago or not at all if you ask me”

As explained above.......They did do it ten or even more years ago, but it was hushed up.

Have you not read or seen on television the accounts of his victims ?................And perhaps more damningly, the revelations from his peers?..........Are they all lying?..................Shouldn't the truth be told ?
