They can and will still show videos of Saville on TV as part of documentaries and the news etc, what they won't want to show is just a 70's top of the pops or whathaveyou with him grinning all over the screen.

Similarly they won't broadcast an Nazi propaganda film from the second world war as a stand-alone broadcast.

For example if Barings Bank was still around they wouldnt have Nick Leeson on their 'About Us' link.

Barings Bank no longer exists but a subsidiary Barings Asset Management does - different company.

I was watching the India Top Gear Special last night, after Hammond had painted the Mexico flag on his Mini, Clarkson said something like 'here comes Rolf Harris'. I had a little chuckle.

We seem to have gone full circle. From people desperate to be offended almost irrespective of context to people desperate to be offended at people being offended almost irrespective of context.

Funny old world.
