What baffles me is when people say they knew what he was up to but didn't speak out for fear of being sued or not believed.

Surely not everyone turned a blind eye to it?, did the police not get any reports of what was happening or did they dismiss every report?

Out of all the kids he abused, surely one of them must've told their parents and one of them would've at least lamped him at the earliest opportunity.

I'm not defending the beast but it just seems odd that he got away with it for so long

They've just quoted a woman on the BBC TV news who was assaulted when she was 11 - she reported it, her nurse believed her but the sister in charge told her "not to be so stupid, don't you know who he is and what he does for the hospital?" - nuff said. They're talking about a notification going round the nursing staff telling them to watch out for his behaviour. Appalling.
come on boxie give the whole quote

the girl persisted and her father raised hell ( shouted at the end of the ward )
and then wrote a letter of complaint

which was not forwarded.

The report investigator was a paragon of virtue and said at this point the heavens should have opened, reports compiled and head rolled

and I thought - hmm in the eighties it just wasnt like that
Peter, I can't give that quote, that part wasn't in the report on the TV just now - it ended with saying that the sister didn't take it further.
If he's looking down from his deserved place in hell, he'll be glad he died when he did. I never liked the sleazy git!. May he rot in Hell!.
Just cannot believe that his reign of terror was ignored for so long.
mastercraft, couldn't agree more.

Why was he not confronted at one of his charity fund raising events, surely not every parent dismissed their childs claims?
All too often adults do not listen
Daisy, as a parent myself, if my child made an accusation and the authorities turned a blind eye, I'm damn sure I wouldn't

>>must go down in History as one of the most evil men ever!!

Sorry but that is a stupid statement.

As has been pointed out, there have been FAR more evil people in history, and on their scale Saville does not even register.

I have a book at home called "Most evil men and women in history" and it lists dozens and dozens of people, from all countries and all periods, who killed millions of people between them (Stalin killed about 20 million).

In fairly recent times we have had Stalin, Hitler, Pol pot, Chairmen Mao, and now the Muslim group IS.

In fact we the British have done our share of evil things, taking over countries and killing thousands in the process. The USA and Russia and Germany have also done the same.

During the second world war, when the Germans entered a certain village, they took all the men out to a field and shot them in cold blood, then put all the women and children in a church and set fire to it. THAT is evil.

No sorry, Saville does not even register on the same scale as some of them.
And 20 million deaths attributed to Stalin is being conservative.
Non other than Margaret Thatcher must take a very large portion of the blame for Savile's freedom to do as he liked in Stoke Mandeville and other hospitals, she regarded him as a hero and almost worshiped him.

She personally instructed that he must be allowed to do whatever he wanted without hinderance. With an endorsement like that it's no wonder people felt unable to complain. She even gave him her private phone number and told him he could contact her direct if he had any problems!
In 1980 Savile was appointed by Thatcher as' Director of Fundraising' for the new spinal injury unit at Stoke Mandeville, this is what gave him an official position and made him 'untouchable', it also marked the start of his most serious abuse, until then it had been relatively minor.
quite so, Eddie, and we know how the Establishment protects its own.

I disagree with those saying "Hitler was worse". Hitler was a politician who for all I know never killed anyone. It's in the nature of politics that leaders send people off to war, to kill or be killed. Pretty well all leaders of big countries have blood on their hands. It doesn't mean Cameron is somehow on a par with Savile; they're two different categories.

Savile and Shipman belong in the same boat.
several of you who have posted on here, have posted on other threads today condemning those that would condemn someone without the due process of law having taken place.

savile has never been tested in court. in the absence of legal process, why is it OK to vilify savile's alleged conduct and not that of others?

it smacks of hypocrisy, guys.
// She personally instructed that he must be allowed to do whatever he wanted without hinderance //

Where do you get that from?
Read the link Ludwig. There are many other links that say the same out there on the net! .
I knew it would be Fatcher's fault.
I didn't see that in it. Can you quote me the line please.
