would he be in Jail or, given that he had so much info on people in high places, would he still be a free man.

Crystal , you seem to have a lot of knowledge regarding the amount of info Saville had on "people in high places"
Can we assume that Saville shared this info with you & that you and Saville were partners in crime? I suspect he would be in jail if alive but you seem to know a lot more about Saville than I do. |

By:
Mexico - it doesn't take a genius to work out that Saville had them all by the balls hence his immunity to prosecution. I suspect that a lot of people breathed a sigh of relief when he died.

Friends with Ted heath and Thatcher what chance did his victims have..

By:
in my opinion he would still be fawned as a saint ,,, yes he knew loads ... not one active MP , senior police or member of royalty ever investigated ..
We all really know in our hearts its a world of hurt these people get their kicks off .. it's only the dregs that are prosecuted. |

Not really a surprise that someone who achieved the fame that he did got on This is Your life

They must have been a bit selective in their 'research'!!

If Sir Jimmy were still alive the truth about him would still be confined to blogs and internet message boards. Even after his death it only came out thanks to the efforts of a few particularly Mark Williams-Thomas.
Also Rolf, Stuart Hall, Max Clifford would be free men. |

@naydam They [This is Your Life] must have been a bit selective in their 'research'!!
Back in the last millennium, I used to work in a Fleet Street-adjacent capacity and was told about the Savile rumours --but that the red-tops (Mirror, Sun, NotW) had been all over him and couldn't stand any of them up. |

By:
While he was alive very few cracks appeared in Sir Jimmy's armour. The closest to exposure came in 2008 when the Sun linked him to the Jersey abuse children's home. Savile's lawyers quashed the story with an injunction.

He came close to exposure back in the 60's and 70's but it was all hushed up. John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) said in 1978 about the rumours involving Savile (some clips are still on YouTube now). At least he had the balls to try and tell everyone the truth but because Saville was a friend of the royals and lot of other people high up, it was hushed up. At that time there was a lot of young groupies around and girls saying they were much older than they really were. But the abuse of young kids is another issue and Savile was a monster. Lot of people knew what he was like - or maybe not the full extent of his crimes - but they knew about him and he continued to get away with it. Status Quo were even trying to say something wasnt right regarding what went on at TOTP and Savile. All hushed up at the time. |

Our beloved Old Bill said there was no case to answer and therefore JS was an innocent man.
After he died they said he was possibly the most prolific sexual criminal of all time. Savile's dead and won't face a jury. Plod are still with us. Any prosecutions yet? |

NHS under pressure
would make him work hospital porter |

I suspect if had a lot of information on people at the top he might have died a lot sooner.

Saville the Great Charity Man was fully Protected by the Luvvies of the BBC , So much so that
He was accepted into the Circles of Royality and Government ,The BBC LUVVIES are as much to blame as Saville ,They Knew . |
|
By:
Savile was clearly untouchable. Nothing was going to happen until he died. And the BBC were partly to blame for sure, disgraceful how so much was covered up.
|
|
By:
in the current climate those complaining about him would be denounced as snowflakes and all just a politically correct witchhunt

Good post A T.

i just watched on catchup, stacey dooley investigates young sex for sale in japan, for a civilised nation its sickening, if anyone's seen it would love to know your thoughts.
|
|
By:
Ask Louis Theroux - they knew before he died. He obviously was covered.
Davis Icke talks crappola about most stuff, very entertaining. but his rant on Saville is convincing. |
|
By:
Good post A T.
No, it's a rubbish post. It's entirely the wrong way round. It's in these politically correct snowflake times that the showbiz nonces are being put away, and it was in the past when Alf Garnett could call a spade a spade on prime time television that they got away with it. |

would go the same way as mountbatten,

By:
Ramruna you seem to have misread the post by A T and my reply
 as you seem to be agreeing with the point he is making. |

By:
It was all the about money really - nobody had the courage or desire to snitch on Savile because of all the millions he was raising for children's hospitals/charities.

Sorry - typo ...
It was all about the money really ... |

By:
....if he had a computer and sent it to pc world to 'fix it' then it could have started to unravel even back then.
|
|
By:
TheBetterBettor - yes, that's why Glitter balls was done. He sent his computer away for repair and they discovered all those naughty pics on his hard drive.
I still think Glitter would have been found out eventually in the aftermath of the Savile enquiry even if he hadn't sent his PC away for repair at that time. |
