Never a day goes by that I wish Savile was still alive and in a cell somewhere, pending a trial. What a truly frightful creature he was.

[2sp_]

I agree mikey, it makes me sick to think that he wasn't brought to justice in his lifetime. He went to his grave thinking he got away with it and that the public loved him.

[janbee]

I agree. He's got off with EVERYTHNG and everybody thought he was Mr Wonderful. Too bad the swine is dead.

[ummmm]

Not everyone thought he was 'Mr Wonderful'

[mikey4444]

2sp...well, he got that bit wrong didn't he ! I don't think there is anybody left in Britain that thinks he was wonderful, and you don't have to alive to be guilty. A monster of the first order !

[2sp_]

ummm, I do agree, I never liked him.

It's so sad that all those survivors of his abuse (I don't like the word victim) felt that they couldn't speak up at the time.

[woofgang]

I think its a bit of a stretch to call him a DJ

[mikey4444]

But 2sp, there is ample and growing evidence that people DID speak up at the time, not just the victims of Savile but monsters like Cyril Smith. He also raped children for nearly 50 years, and some of his victims complained but to no avail. Instead they themselves were further punished for blackening the name of such a famous and wonderful man.

I have recommended the following book a few times here on AB but not lately...please get it from your local Library (if it has survived the Tory cuts ) ......it will make your hair stand on end ::

"Smile for the Camera"...the secret life of Cyril Smith, by Simon Danczuk, the present MP for Rochdale. Here is the review of the book from the Telegraph in May this year ::

wolf I have met all 3 you mention. Agree over Savile (now I know what we all know - though at the time I didnt find anything wrong with him) and Rolf Harris (did find his behaviour odd) but Terry Wogan was an extremely nice guy.

[2sp_]

That is true mikey.

It must have been horrific going through the assault to then be ignored or brushed aside.

I hope the survivors will find some peace now the world knows what he was really like.

[ummmm]

Grass...what are you suggestion?

[ummmm]

*ing

[grasscarp]

what did I say that needs explaining ummm?

[theshedman]

I met Savile when he came on board HMS Ark Royal. Always thought he was creepy. He came into our mess for a drink and I heard that someone had spat in his. At the time I thought it was bad and sometimes thought about it when you would see him on TV raising money for all these charities, but since all this came out I don't feel bad at all now.

[mikey4444]

Grasscarp...I agree with jno...Terry Wogan is still a nice guy surely ? I can find no evidence that his name has been linked to any of these paedophile activities.

2sp...I think the only way that victims of paedophile activity can feel that some kind of justice has been done, is for the current Enquiry to be thorough and wide-reaching. It got off to a bad start this summer, and it is beginning to look as if the ball has been kicked into the long grass. This would be the very worse outcome as far as the victims are concerned.

The lesson of all these high profile cases is that we need to listen to the victims, many of whom were children.

[grasscarp]

I said Terry "was" a nice guy, Mikey because he was when I last saw him which was around 1970. I am sure he still is!

[mikey4444]

I have no reason to doubt that grasscarp...he always seems nice to me. His commentary at the Eurovision Song Contest was hilarious !

But there is a growing feeling in Britain today that "its the quite ones that you have to watch" and "all of them were at it" Very depressing.

//But there is a growing feeling in Britain today that "its the quite ones that you have to watch" and "all of them were at it" //

I haven't noticed that.

[agchristie]

^ I have to agree. Who for instance could cite Stuart Hall as a quiet one. He had the loudest laugh going and his radio commentaries were incredibly verbose and extrovert.

Terry Wogan can appear insincere with his somewhat wooden delivery but he has stood the test of time. Sardonic humour with Eurovision but his work on every 'Children in Need' gets a big approval from me.
