Hey what a surprise, a pretty little white girl goes missing and the whole female population of the UK outpours it's grief and over-reacts to just about anything related to the case. Yet again a MAN's name and face is plastered everywhere for all to see before he's even been found guilty. Terrible what happened to the girl, but the over-reaction does my f8cking head in

But there have been police investigations into Savile previously, twice in Jersey for example. What if people lied to the police and helped to pervert the course of justice during those investigations ? I'm not saying that they did but, for example, I reckon the Haut de la Garenne case would have opened a big can of worms with Savile just the tip of the iceberg if the whole truth had been revealed.

As opposed to some individual who claims that "the whole female population of the UK" is involved? What – 100% of females of these islands? Really? You did a survey?



A bit of hyperbolic overthetopness, methinks.



And obviously nothing at all like the males being held back by police from the van carrying the accused to court yesterday – oh no, sirree. That behaviour was entirely under the top, wasn't it?



A shame, because you had a couple of otherwise valid points.

Then of course they should be prosecuted for perverting the course of justice!



How is investigating 120 (current count) unrelated cases relevant to that?

Because...



1. It may well lead to new lines of enquiry; and



2. It may well unearth new information on some people who are still alive and perhaps still actively pursuing such activities



I don't think the investigation is purely about Savile, more about what they may uncover from a wider perspective if they dig deep enough. It is probably unlikely that Savile acted alone in his 'predatory sexual offences' (as described today by the Met Police). If the vilification of Savile brings other guilty parties to justice then thats fine in my view.



Anyway, none of this has anything to do with this thread so better let it rest there really.

Apparently, the police have already found him guilty so no need for any further investigation! www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19887019 Quote At this stage it is quite clear from what women are telling us that Savile was a predatory sex offender,"At this stage it is quite clear from what women are telling us that Savile was a predatory sex offender," said Commander Peter Spindler, head of specialist crime investigations, in an interview with the BBC.'" How a police chief can come out with a statement like this is unbelievable.

A Wigan Athletic fans forum has had rumours about Jimmy Savile on various threads for a couple of years now. A more recent one has allegations wrt another 70s R1 DJ, who also presented childrens TV shows, based on his own memoirs!

The quotes I've seen from his autobiography – published in 1974 or '76 – are pretty clear. He also asserted that, in effect, 'everyone else was doing it', including the police.



As it happens (so to speak), I heard around 18 years ago, from a former [iTelegraph[/i TV critic who had recently moved to the [iMail[/i as the film critic. His take on it was that Savile knew where other people's skeletons were hidden.

That argument realistically only holds up for so long really though doesnt it.



The people who Savile may have had dirt on some people in the 70's, 80's and early 90's werent the same people who would bring it to light in the late 90's and the last decade.

I suspect that, by then, his celebrity and his 'charidee work' made it more difficult to come out and say anything.



There is a story that a newspaper was going to publish something, but he simply said: 'go ahead: just think of all the money Stoke Manderville will lose'. They didn't publish.

There are a lot of things which are coming out which there doesnt seem to be any evidence for, or seem to be taking on a different tone which has meant this story has begun to eat itself, where every remark is looked at in the context of being spoken by a highly active paedophile/conspiracy/coverup which in turn becomes evidence of a highly active paedophile/conspiracy/coverup

You're big enough and oracle-like enough to be aware that "whole female population" was obviously a deliberate exaggeration. But nice of you to have one of your typical "overthetopness" holier-than-thou rants before admitting somebody has made a valid point.





The females thing was merely a reference to my facebook feed being filled with "hang this sick murderer" statuses even before he was charged of anything. P*sses me off. If it was anyone but a lil white girl they wouldn't be d.
