fuck me 

he never got done for Anything 

only come out once he was beyond jurisdiction.

Who actually outed him after he snuffed it? You can bet they sat on their hands for a long time with enough info to see him serve at least some jail time.

I don't think it's so straightforward otherwise you could say the same for every historical sex abuse case 

Anyway 

There'd already been an enquiry a few years earlier 

some journalists followed it up after he died 

The report was then delayed by the bbc 

When it finally came out about the allegations, other victims finally had the courage to come forward think they'd be believed 

It wasn't one person, it was a collective of allegations, and it took investigave journalists a while to really get the ball rolling for various reasons 

The main one, as in most nonce cases, being folk who aren't victims turning a blind eye and not wanting to upset the apple cart

I just don't see it

Still photos just don’t do justice to the way she looked at you.

She’s got the kind of eyes that lock your gaze whilst she’s running the tip of her tongue over your biffins bridge.

he even took the piss on his headstone "it was good whilst it lasted"

and I don't get the big deal with Selina Scott

she just looks like a standard 80s bird with shit hair and fashion

Didn’t Adrian Mole have a thing for Selina Scott?

Personally I thought she was a posh fit bird. And for rough Northerners, she ticked a few boxes.

I recall early 80s, there was a Bolton marathon that went through Horwich which Saville was running in

they gave an estimate of what time he would be passing through

all the locals came out to see him

my grandad was beyond exicted and had us all down at the crossroads where aldi is now waiting to see him, arrived 30 mins early to get a good spot and be sure not to miss him

big cheers as he passed

then everyone just walked off, fuck the rest of them

I recall being so disappointed as you totally ignored me.

Remember Saville on Beaumont Rd waiting for the start. 

Don't know his finish time .

Mine was 4hrs 20min.

Recovery time about 30 years.

dawn of the digikal age innit. apparently there were loads of rumours, and kid who grew up to be a journo witnessed his goings on first hand. as folk began sharing snippets of past experiences on social media, the rumours began to snowball. journo (now keen to get this out) investigates. his employers, knowing they will be at the centre of a massive shit storm are a little more apprehensive.  

the original panorama doc was due to go out the week he died i believe; the beeb pulled the plug (citing bad taste) and tried to sweep it under the carpet. a year later itv go fuck that, lets have it.

or summat like that...
