TBS	Pattaya wrote: The allegations before his death did come across as far more believable than those after his death... Just to pull you up on that one point Pattaya, but what exactly are these allegations prior to his death that are believable? The only direct allegation of wrongdoing made against him during his lifetime and which attracted police attention was the 2008 investigation which was discarded. The reason it was discarded is because the source of the allegations were the Duncroft women, they of the fake letterhead and whose stories have been debunked and demolished, not only thanks to diligent research but by the testimony of the woman who sparked his association with the school in the first place. So not actually believable at all. Indeed the extraordinary thing is that the officers at Surrey Police who at the time did their job properly, ie investigated an allegation, interviewed all parties and came to the correct conclusion that it was nonsense are now the subject of a disciplinary investigation. It seems they came to the correct conclusion but not the "right" one according to the "he was guilty of everything" orthodoxy.

Sadly Editors seem incapable of spotting that it's now an "even better story". People are bored to tears with the "Savile was a pervert" story. The only thing liable to perk them up is the inevitable "Savile wasn't a pervert after all" story. recall the coconut shell 'skull' on Haut de la Garenne...the untelling of the story was just as sensational

JK2006	Ah yes, the Mail; best but nastiest paper in Britain. Don't you wish the Guardian was half as good?
Pru	The Mail still have it down to an art when they want to simultaneously publish a good story and yet hide it away if it doesn't suit their agenda. Usually placed on the left side of the paper, and strangely anonymous in the way they set it out, they seem to be hiding the story in plain sight, to borrow that fashionable phrase. I wonder how many readers actually absorb the meaning of such reports.
