Saville would often turn up unannounced and do an impromptu DJ set for half an hour. While he was on stage the bouncers would wander round asking girls (the underage ones) "would you like meet Jimmy backstage". The girls I knew wouldn't go anywhere near him. They knew of his reputation and regarded him as a dirty middle aged man. But apparently others did unless someone warned them off.
And if someone had warned them off they'd have obviously said no.
It was the 1970's. Girls didn't like sex. They were not impressed by rich men who were on the TV. Being the famous guy from TV who was centre stage in the nightclub has never been a prize to anyone.
No girl would have ever said that she didn't go backstage when the truth was that they went back stage and was a willing party to everything that was done to them. Women are always plain and honest, especially about sex.
Quote:Because I was aware of his reputation I kept a mild interest in any press reports about him. Whenever there was a positive article about him, praising his charity work, there would often be another article a couple of pages further on about child abuse or underage sex.
So the papers were writing about child abuse, they just weren't interested in writing about a famous guy they knew who was committing it???
But actually, they were very interested Savile's child abuse. They just explained it to the public with a special code that the public should have been smart enough to work out.
Quote:It was like an in joke.
Child abuse. The quickest and easiest way to guarantee a laugh. Who doesn't like a joke about children being abused?
Quote:Once when he'd received an award (might have been his knighthood) I read a glowing article about him in one of the sundays. On the next page was an article about child abuse and the small number successful prosecutions.
That's so awesome. I just wish I had that job of writing that glowing article about a child abuser knowing that we were so clever that we'd be stitching him up at the same time on the next page.
I think I'd enjoy my job so much that week I'd refuse to pick up my pay packet.
There's no flaws with that stupid scenario is there? There's no one who would read the glowing article about the knighted Savile, think that he was a truly great guy getting his just rewards and watch his TV shows with even more respect for him? They wouldn't give that article about child abuse a wild swerve and never put the two together like you were able to?
Quote:An unnamed senior police officer was quoted as saying something on the lines of "we're keeping tabs one well known public figure who we keep getting complaints about. But we'd never get a conviction, the general public regard him as a saint. No jury would believe a young lass over him".
The BS keeps piling up.
The general public regard him as a saint. Mainly because the papers keep calling him a saint, when really it's the stupid public's fault for not understand the hieroglyphics of the daily press and their special code.
We, the police, are watching this child abuser openly abuse children. But we can't do anything because no one would believe a child. Or us, when we're watching it.
Quote:I think the media generally were complicit in allowing Saville to get away with it. But the BBC employed him, protected him, turned a blind eye to his behaviour and deserve every bit of criticism they receive.
You were complicit in his behaviour too. You knew what he was. You knew the retarded game the media were playing. You obviously supported their retarded code because you kept buying the papers.
Go to jail. Give yourself in. You knew of child abuse. You did nothing. Operation Yew Tree would be pleased with the conviction. They probably won't be getting any unless you guilty people start admitting your guilt.
