Comments on The Pensive Quill: A Savile Savage

Johnny Rotten would have liked to kill Jimmy Savile as far back as 1978..The last verse of this song aired on radio 1 in 1992 say's it all (2m 15sec). The cover up concerning Savile is like the covering up of the truth of what actually happened during the troubles.

Every other week there are new allegations about the o6c's murky past and the main players are doing a Pontius Pilate and washing their dirty hands of the whole affair. And when anyone stands up and questions the past, their opinions are dismissed. Some a ridiculed and others are jailed for simply explaining what most people suspect.

Belfast Bookworm
100% correct. When the aspiration to become a wealthy middle class celebraty takes priority over the sexual abuse of children you have to ask yourself what sort of people were they, are they in the day. Fame, fortune, wannabes, it is a f..cking disgrace. Silence = aidding and abetting, they all knew the power of Saville in the media business to help or deter their career and guess what they choose. Not very christian. I am just going to sit right back and watch the dirty history of these people onfold, because the media is in the business of sensationalising this, so there will be more to come. The knock on effect with however will be to devert the working class masses from the real issues on austerity cuts, people most not lose sight of this injustice either.

'That's the truly shocking part of this story – so many people either knew or suspected the fact that Savile was assaulting underage girls but chose to do nothing whatsoever about it'

This is absolutely spot on. So many knew.

I watched Paul Gambacinni justify his silence by saying he was just a young, up and coming DJ and kept quiet because he didnt think he'd be believed above Savile. Janet Street Porter's excuse was because she was a woman in a mans world.

Crap. It was their careers they were thinking of. Nothing more or less. They allowed the most vulnerable of children to be to tortured and exploited because their drive for celebrity wiped out any ethics they had to begin with.

Dave; I'm not understanding your connection to Savile and Dublin?

You have to admire how smart Savile was. About 8 yrs ago, Frank Skinner remarked on live ITV about Savile's private life and his interest in kids. Nobody paid any notice. Savile's maternal family came from Dublin, no surprise.He didn't get his mensa badge for nothing.

I,m waiting for that lovely girl with the English accent ringing me to tell me my tv license has been expired for a while now and that there is several options to pay for one ,at that point I shall be interrupting her and informing her that I want my day in court as there is no way in hell that I,m going to be a facilitator for child sex abusers which in reality the British Bugger Children is and has been.
