Let us recall the BBC's original statement on the matter:
The BBC has conducted extensive searches of its files to establish whether there is any record of misconduct or allegations of misconduct by Sir Jimmy Savile during his time at the BBC. No such evidence has been found.
Whilst the BBC condemns any behaviour of the type alleged in the strongest terms, in the absence of evidence of any kind found at the BBC that corroborates the allegations that have been made, it is simply not possible for the corporation to take any further action.
I think a full independent enquiry into all the institutions Savile was involved with (not just the BBC) is definitely needed if the UK is to restore any kind of credibility to its' so-called democratically accountable system. With each further allegation, the UK is beginning to look more and more like the Jimmy Savile protection racket, rather than a proper democracy.
ReplyDeleteI've just seen the video at http://jsavilesexabusetape.celebrityshocks.com/ and it's horrendous. If this video is genuine, then it is a real shame that nobody ever spoke out while Savile was alive. It just shows the power and influence he must have had.
What about the paedophiles within St John ambulance who are about to receive an award from the Queen's representative:

ReplyDeleteFive weeks before he died, Savile had gone on a cruise on the Queen Elizabeth for its maiden voyage around Britain. Luke Lucas, Savile’s long-time friend, colleague and a trustee of both the charities that bore his name, accompanied him. Savile had been taken ill and was forced to leave the ship in Liverpool. He was admitted to hospital where he was diagnosed with pneumonia. Alistair Hall later revealed that four of his major organs were failing. In the week before he died, Savile checked himself out of hospital and returned home where he gave his final interviw to Alison Bellamy four days before he died. Mick Starkey described him as "very tired...I’m sure he knew the end was near.’ Alan Franey phoned Savile and dsecribed him as ‘very tired and short of breath’. He described Savile as being mentally alert but resigned to his fate. ‘I’m coming to the end of the tunnel,’ he’d said.
Even the Friday Morning Club meeting was cancelled, Savile informing his regulars that he was ‘
in bed and on strike’. Later that evening, Alistair Hall called round to the flat to make one last effort to get him to return to hospital.
The next morning, Savile was found dead, his fingers said to be crossed. The cause of death, it later emerged, was cardiac arrest, heart failure, ischaemic disease and renal failure.
