I said this before on social media Roger cook was asked by the researcher of the Irish late late show. Who could he have exposed but was stopped. And cook said Jimmy Savile.

The researcher later worked on de ray D'Arcy radio show and it said that story about cook on it. Saville was dead and outed by this time but not on de late late show.

Savile was very powerful, he’d sue the arse off anyone who challenged him. He also had the publics backing with charity work and being all over tv. Only one way that was going to end.

I suspect current world famous millionaire 2 time world champions can still slap the arse of the grid girls if they so choose. It only becomes a problem when the money runs out or the bum is no longer grabbable.

Vernon Cooper was right about the BBC at least

@annpeerkat2020 Жыл бұрын

What... did cooper say that that BBC's expose of him as an example of the most capitalistic inhumane motorcycling officials was correct? Never heard cooper say that, but good on him for doing one thing right.

The Isle of Man TT is understood by all the riders who take the challenge, As all the climbers who climb Mt Everest or K2 or The North Facecof the Eiger. They choose to take the challenge. Circuit racing is mega safe by comparison, but is it the ultimate challenge? I wouldn't try to compete in the TT, I'm not capable, those who do are, you therefore have to respect their choices and decisions.

Yep... just like age of consent laws are all wrong... compulsory helmet laws are all wrong.. compulsory education to a minimum age is all wrong.. legislating to try to prevent fraudulent financial institutions is all wrong... legislating to try to remove drunk drivers is all wrong... You really believe in freedom of choice! If someone wants to take the risk, who are we to try to stop them or reduce the ramifications. You like the ultimate challenge, but wouldn't take part in it yourself. Are you really sad that you weren't born much earlier so you could watch gladiators kill each other? Are you looking to the future to better technology so you can see more of soldiers killing each other? TLDR: you believe people have the right to take on incredible risk, and you believe that event promoters have the right to profit from deaths in the event, rather than spend some money to minimise fatal risks.

Would of had more world champions on the MotoGP circuit since the idiotic, run by juveniles, IOM TT began. STUPIDITY 😞 Barry Sheen wouldn't touch it in the 70s and 80s with a barge pole and they called him a coward but he was spot on 🤦🏻 See the way he sped off in the Jag 😂

That’s not the point here is it. The point is back then, not enough was done for safety. And Vernon Cooper saying about Grand Prix riders ‘they think they can’t win’ if they don’t go to the TT. What a prick
