And hundreds, if not thousands of people knew what he was and had the means to expose him but didn't.
The audio was damning. Just terrible. I had forgotten how it all blew up-saville of course
Hopefully, the lessons have been learned. I too saw the show this week and found it repugnant.

The bit about the Daily Mail (or perhaps the Mail on Sunday) knowing stuff but not printing it should be shameful for them. Have they done an apology?
I think they need to go the way of the News of the World. They were enabling and complicit in paedophilia.

Haven't the mail group just been sued for printing something they reported.

Are they being condemned for both printing and not printing controversial stories?

There's always the option of asking the police for advice on criminal stuff.

Don't newspapers have lawyers for that?

Either way - I'm sure they can get advice on the difference between reporting someone (Max Clifford) for breaking the law and breaking it themselves (Meghan Markle).

Just seen it. A very, very difficult watch, my Skin crawling throughout. I didn't know much about him, wish I'd stayed that way. Hadn't realised he'd died either. What an absolutely awful person.

Show was ok. Something a little flat about it I can’t put my finger on.

Obviously a terrible person.

I bet he was very overconfident when being interviewed. The type who you’d give plenty of rope to.

From what I've heard (I haven't seen it myself) Neil Wallis's delayed answer was a classic 'rabbit in the headlights' response.
Wouldn't surprise me if Fleet Street was just as complicit as the BBC was about Savile.

One of the Sunday mags let him loose in their 'a day in the life' feature in which he made himself out to be nothing short of a saint, spending most of his life and money on looking after his disabled daughter.

I watched it, I've always thought he was a reprehensible piece of st and this indeed confirmed it.

I guess his MO with most of the papers was to get some kompromat on the senior players there, so he could control them.

We've got some st on Max Clifford, can you take him down?

Err, we'd like to, but this polaroid of the editor balls deep in a hooker would be interesting to his wife. Let's say no more about it, eh?

That's pretty much what happened, yes?

Kudos to those women who stood up to him and did eventually take him down.

Im sure later on he did have 'files' on various people-hence his secret room where he filmed sex acts etc. But initially or mainly I would assume he brought them stories. He represented a lot of people who confided in him (to fix problems) and it's not hard to imagine some things got leaked.

I was never a huge fan of Clifford, but did not realise he was this much of a .... well I am sure you do not need me to say the word.
