    "Historic"? Did he molest the Queen or something?

    It's most likely for witholding information, the control that man has on the media is scary

    He's a hateful bastard anyway. Just another reason to hate him.

    Yeah but as much as I'd prefer to hear that there were no more cases of assaults etc., if there were there's no-one better to be up for them.

    I would guess it has more to do with him potentially covering for people.

    The operation has three strands.

    One is looking specifically at the actions of Jimmy Savile and the second strand concerns allegations against "Savile and others". The separate third strand relates to alleged complaints against other people unconnected to the Jimmy Savile investigations.

    Scotland Yard said the man arrested on Thursday morning had been arrested as part of this last separate category of the operation.


    So its not Jimmy Savile releated?

    The words Jimmy Savile and arrested means he's finished either way.

    His famous safe could be having the locks blown off it.

    I presume he'll now hire the Communications Clinic to handle his PR now.

    But the article says "sex offences". Maybe my English isn't up to much but doesn't that mean a bit more than covering up others' offences?

    Jesus, much as I despise the príck, I wouldn't have had him down as a perv.



    This whole thing is getting worse and worse, how was it kept secret for so long?

    It's about time he was arrested. Don't even know or care what he's done.

    I think its more the dirt he has on the police (if any) that will create a mess.

    Probably sought advice from the World Leaders on the subject, the Irish branch of the Cattle Tick Church, Instilling Fear in Victims 101.

    I'll grab my coat on they way out.

    Flippant exaggerated way of saying I don't like him. He's responsible for so much of the tabloid showbiz sh*te which has become so prevalent in today's media.

    From the report it doesn't sound like it...
    Scotland Yard said officers had arrested a man in his 60s "on suspicion of sexual offences" and had taken him to a central London police station.

    Otherwise would it not have been explicitly "on suspicion of witholding information".
