And the BBC AND NHS knew about him. It was an open secret.
I remember seeing him on TV in the UK back in the 1980s. Thought he looked creepy then.
When I was younger I was disturbed by the unflattering allusions to homosexuality and perversion in Agatha Christy novels. I didn’t realize she was reflecting upper class Britain accurately.
The freak caused a lot of damage and was not punished in this life which is a sign that God left him alone and watched him fall into the abyss screaming.
Raised 48M for charity. “for the kids”.
Shriners.
There used to be a joke they would tell that both Thatcher & Savile screwed miners/minors.
The BBC is the last organization that should be talking about Savile. They created the monster.
The British media class are above caring about such things.
One of King Charles’ buddies.
People are really really gullible when they WANT to be.
I believe Hillarys campaign manager and his brother, stayed in Jimmy Savilles house in Portugal, and were there when a girl was snatched from the neighborhood.
USA has a chomo president. Savile has a future in the democrat party.
Jimmy Savile was protected like Bill Clinton, obama, Joe and Hunter Biden, the Kennedy’s, many others here in the US.
Part of it is establishment cover up but not class driven, it was to ensure ORGANISATIONS didn’t get dragged into an investigation that almost certainly would’ve involved Freemasons and PIE (the UK counterpart to NAMBLA).
Savile was from a Bevin Boys mining background, did some work as a bouncer, was a bit of a bruiser before getting into radio.
He was an adept DJ and knew how to schmooze, so was a man of many faces.
I said part of it.
The other was that the police simply didn’t believe rape accusations. They thought by default that if it happened in the home it was “a domestic matter”, and if it happened outside home the girls “crying rape” must’ve either made it up or had been “asking for it” somehow - dressing provocatively, going out alone at night, not fighting back, not screaming for help, having a reputation (”the town bike, everyone’s had a ride”).
A 14 year old girl making an accusation against a pop star or DJ in the 70s wouldn’t have gotten to making a police report let alone past the first interview. They’d have to prove that they weren’t groupies and walk into the police station covered in their own blood to be treated sympathetically.
I know this because my own birth mom got pregnant at 14 after being raped multiple times by a “community leader”. He sat on the chamber of commerce and various other associations. A “pillar of the community”.
My mom said nothing about the attacks because she’d have been tarred and feathered, but once people knew she’d beem “knocked up” her dad transported her out of county to see her pregnancy through in a “school “ for wayward young women. To eliminate any difficult conversations.
After she gave birth at age 15 she was declared mentally unfit to be a mom and the social services took me into foster care.
The guy who raped her was still an unsullied pillar of the community when I turned 18. Mom had left that community and was married with children. All I know about it comes from her diaries and unposted letters she’d written to me over the years, which I only saw after I died.
That cult level cover-up is bad wherever it happens but it tends to happen only in certain communities in England. The one thing we don’t let happen at all anymore is forced marriage (making the problem go away by forcing the raped to marry the rapist, shotgun marriages etc).
My perception could be wrong but it looks FAR more prevalent in American high schools. When prominent boys molest girls, the school almost always downplays it, or worse rallies behind the boys and victimises the girls.
And that’s also happening with boys who come out as trans too. The girls have to put up with it as an occupational hazard.
So this isn’t a British establishment issue, it’s just as deep rooted in American society.
