Anonymous Coward User ID: 18349759 United Kingdom 10/01/2012 02:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If they (the media), have run with this story about Jimmy Saville of all people, then it's get the popcorn time - esp if any other victims come forward with proof regarding the other names associated with King/ Saville... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22862745 If its who I think you mean - someone I heard rumours about in the eighties but laughed them off as absolutely ridiculous- someone who like Saville built a career in which children featured a lot - someone who was advised, and who did "take a long break and do something completely different til it was safer". then I am speechless. There was someone who i actually sat and thought at the time, 'hang on a minute, I havent seen him on TV for a while...' esp when his career was at it's peak, he still had plenty of years ahead of him, and was a big player in kids tv. then he just seemed to disappear. There was someone else too, who would surprise the nation even more than Jimmy Saville has, which is common knowledge in a lot of music circles. Another British 'institution'. Is said person still on UK TV a lot or have they disappeared from view? I can think of a few of those late 70s music types who were in kids' TV during the early 80s and went on to "better things". And I don't think it's the one you mentioned earlier... |

And I don't think it's the one you mentioned earlier... i dont live in uk anymore so cant say. pretty certain he's not on tv anymore. I read a lot of press for my job and not seen him promo'ing any shows that's for sure. his era was late 80's/ 90's. it would also be wrong to say more as i just dont have hard facts, just what was said by someone senior who had a knack of being right. my point on here isnt to out people, just that there appears to have been a much bigger problem that was swept under the carpet. gonna be interesting to see what happens after saville, that's for sure. i'm as keen for more real info/evidence as anyone else. I'm not out to come across as some industry insider. In scheme of things, I only know a tiny bit more than you guys do. Which could easily be passed off as idle gossip by a lawyer who knows what theyre doing. I can only sit and wait for more stuff to come out on whoever, then say 'shit, x was right, again'. Reading the uk press today, someone else who was mentioned by my old boss, appears to be driving nails in saville's coffins which i find a bit confusing. is he being truthful and innocent, or has he been told to say something in return for protection and keep the scandal localised to saville? my main reason for being on this thread was to just say get the popcorn out. if they've gone for saville, it's bound to be others soon if more victims have the courage to speak out.. Saville was the most untouchable of the lot,anyone beneath him has got to be a sitting duck.... |

Was Savile untouchable because he had dirt on everyone else, because he had a lot of legal support or because he had friends who would put the wind up potential accusers? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22862745 Thanks for your insights. Was Savile untouchable because he had dirt on everyone else, because he had a lot of legal support or because he had friends who would put the wind up potential accusers? he was untouchable on many fronts: knowledge of how to play media first and foremost, friends in high places, money to deal robustly with any allegations using the best lawyers in britian/ the world. also you have to think about media leverage too. who will print anything concerning/ involving the BBC, knowing full-well they may not get access to exclusive interviews with actors/actresses/whoever for top show/series etc??? that last one is how media really works. esp for the music industry. up and coming talent doesnt just get features etc. the channel/publication has prob been held over a barrel with a much bigger artist, for fear of losing out to a competitor. esp say in 4th quarter of yr when big hitters have all their albums out in time for christmas. imagine if the mirror trumped the sun for exclusive interview/double page spread and free copies of album + gig tickets for say someone like rihanna, where you have to collect 5 tokens etc in order to enter? for the BBC during 80's, it could've been access to promo tours for say Dynasty or Dallas or whatever that wouldve sold tabloids. so, printing something about saville couldve meant losing out on somethign that wouldve sold papers on a weekly basis for months on end. rather than selling papers off the back of one story. it's a dirty ol' game. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24803131 United Kingdom 10/02/2012 04:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The rumours of Jimmy Saville being sexually promiscuous were around for years... The connection with pedophilia is something that I came across several years ago and made much sense since the guy appeared to be very dodgy to me. The facts are that many many people are aware of this mans crime, and as TV presenter Esther Rantzen said last night on C4 news, the victims and witnesses had up until now been afraid to expose Saville because of his connections with people in high places such as PM Magaret Thatcher, Princess Anne, Prince Philip and wealth of TV producers and exec's. This was a huge clue to me as to how wide this can of worms will open and it is a blessing that finally an insight into the evil that is and has been done by these satanists. He may appear to have got away with it... but justice will be done and everyone associated and involved with this kind of evil amongst the ranks of our entertainment, political, law and indeed so called royalty will now have the spotlight on them. This is the beginning of the truth and the removal of these dark misfits from high power in our society. |

If he liked children, who are by definition sexually immature, the would make him a pedophile. It was illegal at the time, no doubt, but what exactly where the laws about the various things at the time? I think that there is some retroactive rule changing going on here. This isn't saying that he wasn't breaking the law, or that he shouldn't have been in real trouble for it, I'm just pointing out that teenagers are not babies. You'd think people would know the difference, but there you have it. A lot of you don't seem to. How long would he have been locked up back then for his crimes? I mean, if they found him guilty of them? |
