I began working in Leeds hospitals in my early 20s which was in the mid 90s. Whenever Savile was around in the department the male staff and the much old sisters would metaphorically muscle us women out of the way which really pissed us off at the time. I suspect I now know exactly why they did that and I’m very grateful to them for it.

I remember as far back as the eighties my mother in particular saying there was something very, very off about Savile. In fact it's curious how nobody ever actually seemed to actively be a fan of him at the time, he was just sort of there on TV all the time, with the media telling us he was popular and a "national treasure" while everyone shrugged and said "well, I think he's a bit weird, but whatever".

Don't kid yourself, back in the 60s and 70s Saville was one of the UKs most popular DJs/Celebrities. Look back over old editions of the pop music weekly magazines, Melody Maker, NME, Record Mirror, available online and you will discover year after year he came top in national polls as the UKs favourite DJ. Jim'll Fix It was one of the highest rated TV Shows on a Saturday Night throughout the 70s. Personally I always thought he came across as a creep and a really crap DJ. I never understood his appeal but he was immensely popular back in the day. No revisionist history can change that. Fact is Jimmy Saville was Britain's most loved Paedophile beating Rolf Harris into 2nd place with Gary Glitter in 3rd and Jonathan King 4th. They were ALL very popular at some point in the 60s 70s and well into the 80s.

And the culture was very different. What was acceptable behaviour in 1985 is not acceptable today. Can go to jail for kissing someone today for example. When I grew up rape meant rape. Today rape is dependant on someone's feelings about what happened, not objectively verifiable facts. Which is wrong for many reasons, especially that post-hoc buyers remorse often becomes "rape". 2 identical sets of events, 1 will be rape the other not because of a mental factor called "consent". There needs to be objectivity when it comes to law. Violence or coercion must be used, which is an objectively ascertainable fact. Refuse to see things another way. Things have swung too far in the wrong direction way beyond the point of balance. Sperm count is at its lowest in history. There is a war against men. Satanic forces are behind it. Collapse of Western society is imminent and inevitable now. When the law of the jungle is re established in the aftermath, everyone will be begging for real men to protect them from the horrors. The pendulum will swing the other way again. Neither of the extremes is good. Everyone has the responsibility to increase their IQ and spiritual awareness to benefit all of humanity; even one person waking up really matters.

"Hiding in plain sight" - this was an accurate assessment of the behaviour of some dangerous psychopaths, although Jimmy was spectacularly audacious. He rode Louis Theroux like a little horse in that documentary. Some have suggested that he may have committed worse offences than those already reported.
@ulture6 ай бұрын
Louis Theroux never stood a chance of getting it out of him, and he was hardly the only person to try and completely fail. His documentary is important in hindsight, now that he's dead, as a part of the historical record. I don't think anyone should denigrate him for trying and failing to go up against a wall of silence created by an evil genius with the most powerful people in the country at his back. And to be fair to him, after the first couple of interviews he stopped falling for Savile's game of hinting at something and then clamming up, and instead just focused on documenting how fucking weird and sad and lonely his pathetic sicko life was. Which I think is important. He took a lot from his victims, but every one of them is loved (at least I fucking hope they are), and Jimmy Savile wasn't. By anyone. Just celebrity 'love', screen 'love', the love of what riches and fame a powerful person can bring you. And that's meaningless. (If you hold the power to feed the hungry, house the homeless, cure the sick, etc. at an insignificant cost to you, you're not a saint for choosing to do so, just because choosing NOT to do so would be evil. It's a morally neutral act. Anyone who 'loves' you for that act is misguided and should instead devote their time to hating the people who put them in the position of needing charity in the first place. Obviously Savile thought the exact opposite. He donated millions over his fairly long lifespan.... but of course, he was rich enough that it was never an amount of money that he'd actually meaningfully miss or need. Not to mention donating much, much more of other people's money, often poorer people's, and taking credit for it because he pretended to run marathons to solicit the donations!) It was Louis Theroux that showed us beyond a shadow of a doubt that he had no family, no friends, not even a cat. Just little girls and boys who loved him before they knew him and then hated his guts the second he revealed the real Jimmy. All of his victims, the ones that survived anyway, will die surrounded by people who love them, hopefully without having even thought about him for years. He died alone, and instead of kissing his wife and children one last time, cracking a joke about her remarrying, and thanking his God for giving him this wonderful life full of love and joy and Earthly riches ('cause let's face it, you need SOME money, it makes the other two much easier to get and keep), his last act in this world was crossing his fingers. There's only one thing he was thinking about: himself. Specifically his worst acts. Even more specifically, he died SHITTING himself with terror about the Judgement waiting for him. Because he KNEW what he was (and I don't mean a nonce, I mean a sociopath. He was deeply religious and KNEW where God would put him if he died without remorse and without confessing. The survivors have the last laugh, and the ones who didn't survive are at least at peace. Savile died KNOWING, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he was about to go to the lake of fire for Eternity. As wrong as Schadenfreude is, that's a comfort to me, and I wouldn't know that if I hadn't seen Louis Theroux's documentary on him. Sorry for the very long comment, this subject gets to me as you can tell, and I got ahead of myself.

His eagerness to take dead bodies to the mortuary was well known first in the hospital and then throughout the city. Leeds United fans would regularly chant about Saville's strange activities and the fans of other clubs would soon pick up on this and create their own chants. These chants would often be broadcast on programs like Match of the Day but they would be studiously ignored by the studio commenters.

I remember her telling me he sat on her bed and she pulled his hair to see if it was a wig. He should never have been allowed free reign around sick children.

Women had very little protection or support. No one had any direct evidence of his abuse of kids, so what was anyone to do? Dirty old men who were creeps to women were tolerated and I guarantee they still are far more than most people realise because things haven’t changed all that much.

That was the 60s for yer. I dunno if it was because my dad had said that but as a 12 year old l began looking at Saville with more cynical a view up until then I'd thought him a bit weird or eccentric if l had known the meaning of that word then, but he also looked like an uncle of mine married to my mothers sister, who l always felt uncomfortable around as he was loud and looked a good bit like him he was a serial philanderer as l found out always knocking off women behind his wifes back and had tried it on with my mother and her other sister, slimy creep is the words l would have said then.

There was another character in Leeds who I first met in 1969, Trevor Henry Gledhill. He worked for Leeds City Council and in his spare time was also an organiser in youth clubs. A few days after beginning work in the same Dept. I was approached by Gledhill who said he'd been in the Army where there were no women and it was justifiable for two men, always bearing in mind that there were no women, to satisfy their sexual needs with each other. I was petrified and didn't respond and he left me. He clearly had mental difficulties and after visiting a tenant of the Council, he'd come back visibly agitated and angry and using the phrases "being funny with me" and "taught them a lesson". He was aggressive and violent and twice assaulted me in the office of our section head who leapt to his feet and dragged him off me. On one occasion he slammed against a wall and put his hands round my throat and briefly strangled me. One thing which interested me was that he used a phrase "just a bit of fun" to sanitise misbehaviour, and Jimmy Savile used the same phrase. Coincidence, or did they know each other?

Ian Hislop has made his career out of knowing every bit of dirt on every public figure in the UK. For decades. No one will tell me he didn't know this. It was spoken of openly by staff at Broadmoor and Leeds Infirmary. Many of those people took their concerns to the police and were ignored. My Aunt was a nurse's aid at Leeds and they all knew. I was raised in Manchester and my older siblings weren't allowed to go anywhere near them filming TOTP or even have it on in the house because "he's a nonce". This is an exercise in arse covering. Their own and their bosses' at the Boob.

Hislop probably heard more rumours than most people since the rest of the press passed stuff on to Private Eye that their own papers would not print. They were willing to take the risk of libel actions, but they needed to have SOME evidence to have a hope of defending themselves. The likes of Rupert Murdoch, Viscount Rothermere or Robert Maxwell had the wealth and journalistic resources to take him on, but for whatever reason were disposed to leave him alone.

As he was a BBC employee for decades and some of the abuse took place on their premises, it's incredible that no one there, producers, presenters, cameramen and other technicians, make-up artists, over such a long period knew anything or witnessed enough to raise questions about it. Much-loved BBC, Auntie, my *rse.

routeman680 Graham Linehan, Irish comedy writer, a transphobe as it turns out. I think only top executives directly involved with Savile would have known about his disgusting abuse. When abuse happens on BBC premises, BBC employees only know about it if they’re also on the premises and in the same bloody area, either in the same room or in adjacent rooms. I don’t think Savile would have gone out of his way to make it known to a lot of BBC employees and people in general, funnily enough. Just enough for him to get off with his subtle hints to his behaviour.

Paul Merton is correct here when he refers to 'didnt he spend each Christmas at Chequers'. He is telling everyone the answer to why Savile wasn't pulled up during his life. Incredibly, Savile did spend Christmas with Margaret Thatcher as her guest. She was the person responsible for pushing through his knighthood by directly writing to the Queen asking why it hadn't been granted. I'm not suggesting she knew about his activities but she did support the way he could drive huge amounts of charity money for hospitals so that she didn't have to fund them, and he was a symbol of her 'get up and get it done for Britain' rhetoric. According to recent revelations from Savile's Yorkshire press secretary (who still has the letters), Prince Charles was of the same mind, writing directly to Savile asking for advice on how to engage with the public for his causes since Jimmy was so good at it. Savile sent him back a plan which Charles implemented. This gained Savile personal access to Buckingham Palace. These are two examples of his high level support.... so does anyone really believe that the Crown Prosecuting Solicitors (CPS above the Police), are going to take him to the old Bailey? He was protected for better or for worse and tolerated by the intelligence services, which are again, above the Police.

What he said about people knew meaning people had heard the rumors is so true. And yes. If anyone did know they should be prosecuted, (obviously not meaning a 12 year-old victim). There probably were a handful of people who were also pedos who joined in and absolutely knew, and everyone one of them should be prosecuted. But it does bring up a moral conundrum. What is your moral duty when you know a rumor? Savile not being called out is a horrible tragedy, but the McMartin’s being falsely called out was also a tragedy, albeit a slightly lesser tragedy. I genuinely don’t know the proper response. If you get it wrong, you are potentially destroying lives either way. And quite frankly even just reporting it to the police is no guarantee. The police often prosecute/investigate/hound the innocent while letting the guilty go free with barely a glance. Sometimes it’s corruption, but often it is simply naivety and being easily manipulated. I genuinely don’t know what the answer is in that situation.
