Chapeau Sir.Are you suggesting Saville is the victim in all this?
I dated a nurse back in the late 80's and was told that he was a bit gropey and creepy. This was from contacts at Stoke Mandeville. I, like most others, didn't suspect anything like the horrors that he perpetrated though.I heard specifics about his behaviour from a Bulmers cider rep at a trade show in Washington, Tyne and Wear in 1995! Hard to imagine those at the top weren’t also subject to the gossip. Gossip can’t ever be enough to condem someone, though, surely.
Surely, as City fans we have to accept that.
Notwithstanding all the friends in high places, it’s still incredible he got away with it for the whole of his lifetime, given the extent of it.I dated a nurse back in the late 80's and was told that he was a bit gropey and creepy.

Maybe she wasn't a real nurse. The other option is that I am not a....I've said too much.Notwithstanding all the friends in high places, it’s still incredible he got away with it for the whole of his lifetime, given the extent of it.
A doctor dating a nurse - that’s original!
I’m too young to have grown up when he was relevant but how could anyone look at Jimmy Savile and not think “that guy is a massive nonce”.
He literally looked like a cartoon pedeophile, I’ve never been able to wrap my head around it.
The royals and Thatcher may not have known about the rumours but I suspect their respective security advisors did.So you don't think the Royals or Thatcher knew about the rumours?

What more effective way to hide in plain sight than act, look and dress like a nonce?I’m too young to have grown up when he was relevant but how could anyone look at Jimmy Savile and not think “that guy is a massive nonce”.

When the story broke back in 2012, I remember me and some friends all saying this, and my parents just not seeing it.
I think to the older generation it was a bit of the boiling frog effect where he just always dressed like that and when they were kids they got used to it, whereas the younger generation saw him at 70+ and immediately thought it was creepy.
I also wonder how much a caricature of a pedophile in this country from comedy sketches etc. would be informed and defined by the non-stop rumours about one of the most famous people in the country being one.
Think The Queen wasn't keen on him one bit . She kept rejecting Thatchers request for him to be knighted. And only accpted the request on Thatchers final Honours list after she resigned.The royals and Thatcher may not have known about the rumours but I suspect their respective security advisors did.
It must be a generational thing but it’s absolutely nuts isn’t it.
There's plenty of well known eccentric celebrities who looks a bit oddball'ish - doesn't automatically make them a peado
Yes, that one was a lot more left field.I'm still gutted that Rolf was a wrongun.
