Tigger08 · 20-10-2012 7:55pm

I feel very sad hearing all this awful stories. The news is full of so many disturbing stories every day of the week.

The Sunday People main headline/story tomorrow in UK is

"Jimmy Saville and the IRA"

Not sure whats its about, but might be interesting.

Could be any of the following:

IRA threatened to leak information on him if he didn't hand over money for weapons, etc.
IRA provided him with protestant children to rape.
IRA wanted to employ him after gaining knowledge of how steady his hand was and how adept he was at partaking in illegal activities without getting rumbled.

Or maybe he was just an IRA commander.

The story is that he allegedly threatened people by claiming could call in the IRA to hurt them:

JIMMY SAVILE boasted he knew members of the IRA who could have his enemies hospitalised.

Investigators probing the sex predator DJ believe he used threats of violence to keep his victims quiet during his 50 years of systematic child abuse.

Savile once bragged to a journalist that he could fix anyone who double-crossed him with just one phone call – with startling claims that he had friends in the Irish terrorist group.

He said: “I know the IRA, men from the IRA and you don’t need to ask these guys twice. All I have to do is call my friends in the IRA. They’ll have someone waking up in hospital the next morning eating their breakfast through a f***ing straw.

“I’m serious, don’t f***ing think I’m not serious. I can get them done – just with a phone call, that’s all it takes, young man.”

:mad:

Fkn hell!

I read of a few Saville abuse allegations today - ****ing evil cuntt he was if true. A man says he assaulted him as a 12-year-old also.
He was a patron of a school for vulnerable, troubled kids. So calculating if deliberate.

Can't help seeing parallels with the church abuse stuff.
People just seemed to brush it under the carpet back then.

It's kind of strange how everyone kept stuff quiet back then. It wasn't just rural or just urban and it wasn't even just Ireland.

Possibly so take everything.....

It's a disgusting, revolting thing to take advantage of a child no matter what the environment is i.e media, entertainment even the Church...(though the lack of Morals there completely blows my mind)..

Words really fail me how evil flourishes.

As they say in the BBC after internal inquiries :
"Deputy heads will roll "

Seems the Newsnight producers Aunty was the Head Mistress of the School in question:cool:

The Newsnight editor has stepped aside this morning. Tonights Panorama Special (10.35 BBC England, not sure about NI) should be utterly gripping.

goodie2shoes · 22-10-2012 12:32pm

Never liked Jimmy Sa-vile.
Always thought he was creepy.

Just goes to show what can happen when people vest too much respect and power in individuals. Not that us Paddys would ever do anything like that?!!:eek:

it concerns a decision to shelve a programme

i find the internal machinations of these organisations to be totally riveting. sometimes disturbing, but fascinating nevertheless. each to their own ...........

the fact that this very British institution, which purports to stand for truth and justice makes it all the more fascinating imho.

well a least they're facing up to it and being self-critical...something you'd hardly ever see with the likes of RTE
