View Full Version : Jimmy Savile - as it happened ?
Doc Alan
2nd October 2012, 11:11
I would not normally start a thread on a topic apparently unrelated to this forum. However, those members who met here this summer may remember me pointing out one of the late Sir Jimmy Savile’s homes. He was famous for TV shows like “ Jim'll Fix It “ and “ Top Of The Pops “, and did much charity work. There is now a gold commemorative plaque on the wall of his apartment.
The steep public path leading from near his apartment to the “ Cliff Bridge “ and town centre has recently been named “ Savile’s View “. One or two forum members thought “ Angina Hill “ would have been appropriate !
A documentary tomorrow evening ( “ Exposure – ITV1, 11.10 pm, Wednesday 3 October “ ) investigates allegations that Jimmy Savile used his fame to abuse vulnerable teenage girls. No matter what the allegations are, he’s not here to defend himself, having died last year, aged 84, and is buried at Scarborough.

If he had been alive when these new allegations were made, he might have been able to defend himself successfully, which could explain why they were not made at the time ... we may never know.
It would be good if any fees received from the media by those now claiming to have been victims were donated to the charities which he supported ( once they had paid for the counselling which they are said to need after all these years ).

I don't normally contribute to such threads. But I feel this time I want to say something.
Thus far, these are only allegations. However strong they may seem that's all they are.
It seems so very odd to me that all manner of celebs are now coming out of the woodwork to lay credence these allegations. Where were they at the time these were made?
Personally, I have no idea if these things happened or not, but all will come out at some point.
If these allegations are true, I will feel so very sorry for all those victims who have had to wait such a long time before their horror stories can be revealed and heard.
If true, there are a lot of famous folks who must hang their heads in shame for not pursuing the facts they knew. :censored:

I must admit I was never a great fan of Jimmy Saville but always admired him for his charity work and everything he done to help out in the hospitals.
I feel it is so easy to make these sort of allegations against someone who is no longer with us especially as there is probably nobody to defend him. I treat anything like this as highly suspicious as he is quite clearly an easy target now.
I do hope that the police take these allegations seriously and carry out a thorough investigation if only to clear his name.
I will not be watching the programme as I believe it has been made to blacken the reputation of a man who in my mind is innocent of any crime until the police say otherwise.

The plaque has been removed from the wall outside his apartment, and the headstone will be next (http://www.thescarboroughnews.co.uk/news/local/breaking-news-savile-s-headstone-to-come-down-1-5007277 ) . You can get an idea of local opinions from the comments with this article.
Round the clock surveillance had been required to protect the headstone from potential vandals – who don’t wait for evidence to make a guilty judgement.
The Jimmy Savile allegations have certainly raised uncomfortable questions – not just about his purported behaviour, but also how it could have gone uninvestigated for so long. It’s of national interest – although few Filipinos are likely to have heard of him, at least until recently - and the reason for starting the thread was the local interest to members who know Scarborough.
I’m not being flippant when I mentioned the autumn sunshine and my Scarborough-Filey walk. I enjoy living here and - so far - good health ! This is a great forum and members seem to appreciate my contributions on topics which I may have some expertise. “ Jimmy Savile “ is not one of those topics. Most Scarborough residents were used to seeing him around. He always appeared friendly, not just to young female teenagers. He was awarded " Freedom of the Borough " by the local council, and the Scarborough Civic Society was responsible for the plaque ( now removed ). There were unpleasant rumours, but most, like myself, were genuinely surprised to learn of the allegations which have surfaced since his death. I respect reasoned opinions from members - thank you for contributing :smile: ! There is now, however, so much coverage in the media ( mostly serious, some less so ) that I don't feel able to contribute anything more useful to this thread.

One can be sure that the victims will know if he did or didn't. What defense would he have if he were still alive and if it turned out to be many independent victims that are all alive to tell the tale?
Someone said, what good would it do now that he is dead? It might do the victims a modicum of good.

I don't know who this Jimmy Savile guy is, never heard of him until this news came out. There are reasons why someone would keep their mouth shut about certain things and for the others they'd do the opposite. If these allegations are true, it's a shame to his family and all the authorities who ignored this before. It can be possible what the victims say that some of them told someone and told them to rub it off or be quiet about it or that they don't believe whatever the victims told them that time. If no one believed them then (including someone they trust like parents or teachers, etc), of course they would think to just shut up. Remember the Pakistani/Bangladeshi descents who were charged of grooming girls for sex a few months ago, some of their victims told police and the authorities about it from the start but no one did anything then until recently. It could be possible that it happened before with the so-called Jimmy Savile victims too. Victims usually hides whatever is happening if their threatened or no one listens to them. There are things like this in the Philippines too. But anyway, this kind of news is really sickening.:NoNo:

I can understand how they didn't come forward years ago, especially at the time when they were young. He was famous, had a good image and did work for charity. The poor girls probably thought no-one would believe them and it was a word of a young teenager (and this was mostly back in the 1960's - 1980's, when you didn't hear so much about child abuse and teenagers & their problems were understood less and not as talked about) against the word of a famous celebrity with a good image. If they had known it had happened to others and others had come forward, it would have been easier for them to come forward as well and it wouldn't have been them on their own.

The good news: there's going to be full inquiry into the paedophile activities of Jimmy Saville.
Bad news - Rochdale Social Services won the contract.

I think that everyone has missed the point. None of the persons abused was old enough or brave enough to comment at the time and those that did were not believed. Now that an investigation has commenced it will be discovered that those around JS who condoned his behaviour and are still alive may well be prosecuted. This type of thing is still with us today and it has to be stopped and you cannot continue to sweeo things under the carpet forever. The fact that JS is dead is irrelevant! Watch tonight's Panorama (Monday 22 Oct) for more revelations.

I agree. And didn't miss that point. But you are correct in that many did miss the point.

I unlike many am a fan of the BBC. But I'm not sure that I will learn alot more from a Panorama special tonight. Seems to me that they had an opportunity to make a programme about this subject many months ago but for some reason decided to remain silent. I will watch the programme but am not expecting anything new to be revealed.
Over the years I have regarded Panorama as an investigative,informative whistleblowing current affairs programme. I'm not sure this programme has been made for the right reasons but let's wait and see.

I notice that Jonathan King and Jimmy Savile were good friends.

I imagine Glitter will be one of the main keys to this enquiry and will be 'negotiating' with the police by feeding them information in order to get a lower sentence.
Being a paedo should be classed as a mental illness not a crime, that way we can keep them locked up as long as we want :xxgrinning--00xx3:
