    Telly legend Sir Jimmy Savile will be named as a ­paedophile in a shocking new documentary.
    Several victims will speak on camera and claim that the star, who died last October, abused them when they were under-age.
    The programme will claim that Sir Jimmy used his position as host of shows ­including Top Of The Pops, Jim’ll Fix It and Clunk Click to find girls who he abused.

    Seems its all coming out now then.

    There was rumours about that prior to his death.
    I have no idea if any of it is accurate or not.

    "The documentary is lined up to be shown in a prime-time slot on ITV1 before the first anniversary of his death on October 29."

    Classy.

    They wait until he is dead to come forward :rolleyes:

    "Nah... listen Jim... I don't want to meet Bananarama that badly..

    I'll let myself out, shall I?

    If he really was a paedophile, surely he would have made more of an effort to look less like one.

    Confronted by the ­allegations about Sir Jimmy, his niece Janet Humble has said it is just ­“muck-raking”.She said: “As a family, we just wish Sir Jim could be left to rest in peace. He did more good than bad in his life.”

    "more good than bad"............ ah, that's alright so.

    Went and read his wiki there and there's a link to this obit:
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/8857428/Sir-Jimmy-Savile.html

    I found this section somewhat bizarre:
    Savile always claimed that the key to his success on Jim’ll Fix It was that he actually disliked children, although in later years he maintained that he had offered this explanation to allay any untoward suspicions that he liked them too much. Rumours of under-age sex circulated for some years, although the fact that no allegations of impropriety ever appeared in print seemed to confirm Savile’s own insistence that he had “no past, no nothing”.

    But he was always careful to guard against the possibilities of any misunderstandings, and the predatory intentions of parents or the press. When children knocked on his door for autographs, he would refuse to open it, instead passing the signed photographs and scraps of paper back through the letter box. In later years he even refused to have a computer in his home, explaining that he did not want anybody thinking he was downloading child pornography.
    Seemingly, he was deliberately trying to NOT look like a paedo, seems like a lot of effort.

    I heard rumours he had a super injunction out? Hence why this couldn't come out while he was alive

    Also, I believe he was a frequent visitor to that care home in Jersey that made the news a few years ago, about the abuse that was carried out there. I think theres a photograph floating around showing him there?

    Looking forward to seeing this doc - have heard and read the rumours going back a good few years back

    Also, there's a transcript of a taping of a show, where Paul Merton has a right aul go!!! Shocking read actually

    Heard a lot of that above. Especially the injunction bit.
    I suspect that IF true, the truth might come out.

    Wasn't he a colleague of Jonathan King too ? That's at least two bbc primetime (1970's & 1980's era) personalities involved in abuse of children.

    If my memory serves me right she got to meet her favourite author and had some of her own work included in said author's next book.

    Rumors are rumors are not fact. I'd like to see proper research done before judgment starts. Otherwise a man's name and reputation could be tarnished. Of course being dead it won't matter to him, but at the same time. Not a great thing to be accused and then remembered for something that might be wrong.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20 supernature


    He aways creeped me out but I would like to see & hear more evidence before making a judgement.

    Went and read his wiki there and there's a link to this obit:
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/8857428/Sir-Jimmy-Savile.html

    Just saw this paragraph:
    After [his mother's] death in 1973, Savile sequestered himself with her body for five days, which he subsequently claimed were the “best five days of my life … She looked marvellous. She belonged to me. It’s wonderful, is death.” In later years he felt obliged to explain that he had not buried her sooner “because the ground was icy”. He continued to keep her room exactly as it was, and would have her clothes dry-cleaned once a year.

    Jesus christ.

    Certainly Steve Morgan, under his guise of Dick Shaver & the Hollow Earth Insiders,who has given us a list of transgressors in this field, believes we are ruled by a private club of perverts and rapists, he names and describes the personal perversities of some of them and in no particular order they are:-
    Lord Graville Jenner (Labour Peer) - Young boys.
    Lord Gerald Kaufman (Labour Peer) - Young boys under 12.
    Lord Leon Britton (Conservative Peer) _ Raping young boys.
    Gordon Brown (British Prime Minister) – Young boys and girls
    Anthony Charles Lynton Blair (Former British Prime Minister) – Importuning in public toilets
    Edward Heath (Former Conservative British Prime Minister) – Young boys
    Lord Robertson (Former head of NATO and Labour Cabinet Minister) – Young boys
    Lord Hardy (Former Lord Advocate of Scotland) – Young boys
    Lord McAlpine (Conservative Lord) – Young boys
    Michael Portillo (Former Conservative MP) – Children and adults especially Peter Lilley
    Peter Lilley (Conservative MP) – Young children and adults especially Michael Portillo
    Sir Jimmy Saville (Entertainer and Disc Jockey) – Supplying young children and adults for the above"

    Usually Guido is spot on with his stuff!

    Did the BBC Fix It For Jim?

    http://order-order.com/2012/02/09/did-the-bbc-fix-it-for-jim-awkward-questions-for-director-general-mark-thompson/
    Guido got wind of this yesterday, but this week’s Oldie magazine is out, and has more details about a possible BBC cover up after Newsnight unearthed allegations of child abuse by Jimmy Savile on BBC property. The report was spiked, leaving a host of unanswered questions:

    “The Newsnight investigation uncovered information of which Surrey Police was not aware, and moreover allegations were made about living people. Surely the BBC had a duty to inform the police about these disclosures? Yet there is no indication that it has done so, and the BBC has refused to answer questions about this. Furthermore, given that Savile was on the BBC’s payroll for more than 25 years, and along with the other celebrities who are still alive, is alleged to have abused minors on BBC premises, shouldn’t the Corporation have launched an in-house inquiry?

    When asked if BBC Director-General Mark Thompson knew of the Newsnight report, the BBC refused to comment. But a source has told me that Thompson was tackled about the axing of the report at a pre-Christmas drinks party, so he cannot claim to be ignorant of it.”

    The man raised tens of millions of pounds for charity,helped thousands of people and lead an extraordinary life.
    He hasn't a chance to defend himself from the grave and I think people should thread carefully out of respect for this fact as we have no evidence to the contrary just hearsay from a journalist.

    So what that he raised tens of millions??? Would that obsolve him of the wrong doings being put out now??? No smoke without fire, and my god there is a lot of fire!

    Also I don't think its appropriate to reprint lists of ALLEGED transgressors. Posting lists of names and apparent crimes with no evidence or convictions is incredibly damaging to peoples reputations if untrue.

    We're already had someone make the infamous ''No smoke without fire'' blanket judgement.

    There was a fake Have I Got News For You transcript (from an out take, supposedly) doing the rounds for a while.

    Fooled a lot of fence sitters, that one.

    Saville was no angel, of that there is no doubt-but it would be typical of the usually classy ITV to wait until the man's anniversary to push out a cowardly missive on his life.

    If this were real journalism, they'd have done it while he was still around.

    Not so clever herself! (wiki)
    (Coleen) Nolan has gained media attention at times for controversial statements and opinions. In 2005, on Loose Women she claimed that if her 16 year old son passed his exams then she would pay for him to go on a sex trip to Amsterdam and that she had given her fiancé Ray Fensome permission to have a one-night stand during the proposed trip. She was criticised by Shane Richie, who said he was "disgusted and appalled" by her comments about their son, and that he hoped and assumed "it was said in total jest. I can assure everyone that having passed his GCSEs fingers crossed Shane Jr will not be going to Amsterdam". English doctor and author Miriam Stoppard said of Nolan's comments, "the world's gone insane" and claimed that Nolan seemed to be shirking her responsibilities to deliver sex education. However, Nolan defended her comments saying that she had told her son that she would pay for a long weekend for him anywhere in the world and that he had mentioned how he and his mates had "always wanted to go to Amsterdam to see the red light district. If he planned to go on a trip to Ibiza everybody would have thought that was fine, even though he would probably have unprotected sex with lots of girls."[18][25] In the News of the World newspaper she said, "In an ideal world I'd never condone my son sleeping with hookers, but it's a fact of life that boys of his age have casual sex. So if I'm pushed, I'd rather he does it somewhere well-policed and where the girls have health checks than behind the wall of a club in Ibiza with absolutely no safeguards." And added about her comments about Fensome, "In all honesty, I couldn't care less [if he does]. What bothers me more is the thought of Ray going into a bar, chatting up a really stunning girl, having sex with her, spending the night and waking up with her the next morning. I couldn't cope with that."[26]
