I'm a little uncomfortable about the media's casual release of tenuous evidence

against Savile, who is dead and cannot defend himself.

The voice recording of him indulging some horse-play with a giggling young girl was pathetic.

Could you explain to a Belgian what sort of wrongdoing your are all talking about?

[Monty91]

by f**king a few impressionable young girls.

By the standards of the era, and within those celebrity circles, it seems fairly standard practice.

Reckon any pop/rock stars ever slept with underage groupies?

For example, up to filthy tricks in his dressing room at the BBC, hands where they shouldn't be.
Seems like some remained schtum whereas other witnesses, were largely ignored by the heirarchy at the Beeb.

waiting to happen - so much so that it was and is still a source of humour. It's analogous to the Irish priest thing - everyone knew and nothing got said other than in nudge-nudge/wink-wink ways.

that he was into properly f**ked up stuff like necrophilia.

The reason the media never pursued it was because that stuff wasn't true and all he did was f**k a few impressionable, but willing girls.

Look at Jonathan King and the one that hosted Stars In Your Eyes. Both resurrected their careers perfectly well.

The necrophilia was just a way to raise things above the quotidian. Now even that hope is dashed. http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/frown.gif

especially when the rumours promised so much more. The truth was always going to disappoint.

No point in blowing all your material at once, if you pardon the expression.

[Ashberto]

scrutiny is newsworthy?

FFS have you seen/heard some of stuff he's done recently, mincing about as Oscar Wilde in Vile Pervert: The Musical.

I think what's important here is not whether Saville was essentially doing what he knew he could get away with, but the extent to which the public as a whole were complicit in that. Frankly, anyone surprised by revelations of Saville's behaviour is either retarded or so naive as to be unfit to operate heavy machinery. The real story here is our faux outrage about this.

We all knew. We just chose not to ask.

I feel much better about accidentally getting caught up in his funeral procession now
