Sir Jimmy Saville

[SE13]

Opinions? Would he really have done that?

OTOH, are people just gold digging?

Thoughts?

[EvAMY-CRAIGLEEAFC]

Cannot believe he would have done all that. He has. So disgusting.

[CynicalGooner]

His family appear resigned to the fact that he did. Which I think leaves little doubt.

Dirty old kiddy fiddler. Why it has all come out now rather than a year ago, I don't know. I'd be surprised if the police weren't aware of the the allegations then.

[gzagee]

I've heard rumours about Saville going on years ago I'm sure.
But I believe the network of power at the Beeb has protected him.
But then again, why didn't they pursue these allegations with more vigour when he was alive?

[GSK_AFC]

BBC should close down.

I was going to make a thread the other day about it, it just sickens me. To think when I was a kid and even when he died he was someone I respected from watching Jim'll fix it when I was younger.

Saw all over the papers today about his head stone being taken down and smashed into pieces.

What I can't understand is the hundred or so complaints about him now. Why did no one come out when he was alive? Either way, I do believe what's been said about him.

He was being protected by the BBC and/or the Royal Family IMO.

Apparently a couple of the girls went to the police soon after but the police did nothing out of fear of Saville's reputation and his legal team. I have also heard that some charity workers knew but because of their fear of his legal team (who sued at the drop of the hat) and also the threat of lost money they kept stum. I guess in their minds the millions they were making from Savilles name and the charity work they could do with this was worth the suffering of those children, sickening.

[Kyle?]

He was investigated in the 70's or early 80's i believe, and there was strong evidence against him then too. Shame the legal system is a weird entity which nobody fully understands.

One good thing could come out of this.

If the BBC are found out that they covered all this up then the licesense fee should be scrapped.

[TheLittleMozart]

Theres no doubt in my mind that he was a creepy peado.

Even the cheif police investigator said he was cartain that all the evidence pointed to him being an abuser and I firmly believe that he was protected by the BBC/Laywers?Hotel Staff/Other management people which is the real sickeing part of this.

If its found out that the BBC has ANY part in covering this up this, then they should be brought to thier knees.

[EvAMY-CRAIGLEEAFC]

Everyday there is something about it in the papers. Really is making me realise what a bad person he must have been. In doing this though, Nothing can be gained.

[Est83]

As far as mainstream news revenues are concerned, do you (any of you) not feel that the BBC have generally been the better outlet???

[EvAMY-CRAIGLEEAFC]

The BBC are woeful as ever. Even more so since the recession. Do not deserve the licence payers cash. And as for local radio stations. Oooh do not get me started. BBC hang your head in shame.

There's a lot to be gained, the victims can finally have a voice and feel that someone is listening to them rather than what they had to go through for most of their lives, which is being ignored.

It might make other companies think twice about protecting these sick individuals.

Also, hopefully it will bring the rest of the sick animals holed away in the bbc to the surface, so they can be rightly punished for their crimes and their horrible secrets can be exposed.

Even though there are 300 people that have come forward, there are probably many more that haven't. To put that into perspective, that's 10 classes of 30 children that potentially could have been molested by this f***ing scumbag.
It turns my stomach to think that saville lived a life without being punished for his actions, I can only hope there is a hell for him to be burning in.
