I'm pretty perturbed by what I have herd today.
Esther Rantzen has been on Radio today saying she knew of the abuse years ago. If that is the case, why as a champion of childline has she been mute on the matter?
If that wasn't the interviewer's very next question, he wasn't doing his job properly...Esther Rantzen has been on Radio today saying she knew of the abuse years ago. If that is the case, why as a champion of childline has she been mute on the matter?

Because she's a **** perhaps? Esther Rantzen has been on Radio today saying she knew of the abuse years ago. If that is the case, why as a champion of childline has she been mute on the matter?
You do know it is acceptable to be a Homosexual these days don't you?

Mr Morphet, from Joseph A Hey and Son, said the family of Sir Jimmy had made the decision because of "the impact the stone remaining there could have on the dignity and sanctity of the cemetery"
The family didn't seem to care too much about the impact the hideous monstrosity had on the dignity of the cemetery when they had the damn thing installed, did they?Breadvan72 said:
You do seem to have just a little bit of a thing about gay people, Daz. No one is forcing anything on you.
Do you think so?And no, no-one on PH is forcing anything upon me, that is how I like it.
I have had work colleagues in the past who have been gay, I have many good (and some fairly close) friends who are openly gay. But, we don't really discuss it. They are just friends, and what way of life they chose outside the direct relationship with myself is their concern. I am aware of their 'persuasion' (sorry if that sounds prejudiced, honestly its not meant to be), but that is the end of it. If on the other hand they were constantly saying, come on try it, you may like it - that is forcing it upon me.
thing that really pisses me of about all this is the likes of
Sandi Toksvig,Liz Kershaw and Vanessa Feltz, have all claimed they have been groped,but refuse to name names.
To me this is just continuing the 'claims' that everyone knew about JS but refused to say at the same.
These three are just giving licence for this to carry on and other be abused in future, possibly on of their children if they really think this through
Either put up or STFU

This won't bring down the BBC. Pointing the finger at a rival is no doubt enjoyable, but they would be unlikely to run the prog purely on that basis.
My wife is an ITV producer, and she recalls that Green Room Gossip on this subject was pretty widespread in the 80s and 90s. That, of course, does not make it true.

What could people do, on the basis of suspicion alone, if victims did not come forward (for very understandable reasons), or if those few who did were not believed by police? I have no idea whether or not Savile was an abuser, but it is easy to see how, if he was, he could get away with.
I assume 'The Green Room' is like a lounge where folks wait to be called to the studio?
What I find strange is that if there was gossip at all, how did the tabloids (at least) not get hold of it? Although I do believe that Sir Jimmy did at one point take out a case against the Sun.
Let's face it, newspapers have a history of not letting untruths get in the way of what they think is a good story.

So, in a round about way, is that suggesting that the tabloids were also frightened about the repercussions simply because no-one was prepared to testify?daz3210 said:
Then again we have an ex-PM who lots of people think should be charged with war crimes...
Well I think that an Ex-PM should be charged with war crimes.But as to Saville, you have to consider the question of who would most people believe? One young girl or a rich and famous charity fundraising celeb?
