That’s a completely different argument to your first point - so do you believe he was in a position to prosecute him? Boris Johnson literally plays people for idiots and they fall for it. Suddenly Jimmy saville is on the news instead of their own clear failings. people fall for it it’s pathetic, Edited February 2, 2022 by makapaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Harwood: Does the buck stop at the top for the Jimmy Savile case? (gbnews.uk) So you won't read other peoples links but expect them to read yours.

alchresearch Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 This is well worth a read: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Plain-Sight-Life-Jimmy-Savile/dp/1782067434 You only have to look at the dropped names in it to see why Savile got away with it. Starmer never would have had a chance at a prosecution, he would have been leant on from all sides (police, royalty, government) to make sure of it.

Yes Saville made some powerful connections, especially with his charity work. To try and blame Starmer for Saville not being convicted is scraping the barrel. Saville managed to pull the wool over many peoples eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is funny though, all these people who came out of the woodwork many years AFTER Savile's death & all the stories. What stopped the likes of John Lydon from speaking up earlier. Surely nobody is going to accuse Johnny Rotten as being part of the 'Establishment'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well even if it wasn't, I still can't believe that someone as outspoken as Lydon would CHOOSE to remain silent while Savile was alive. After all, it would have only have resulted in a court case at the time & I can't see Lydon being frightened of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
