[quote]Very interesting National Archives piece (Savile/Thatcher) on Radio 4's UK Confidential last Friday showed just how well Savile played the political/charity card when raising funds for Stoke Mandeville. This, with the exception of should-know-better Martha Kearney's intro: "... as we now know, Jimmy Savile was possibly Britain's worst serial child abuser". Perhaps she should have said "... as we now know, the media totally believes its own fodder, regardless of proof, evidence or innocent until proven guilty trial"?

Worth checking the piece out (43 minutes in), which features some good 'now then, now then' mimicry interspersed with archive Jim'll Jinx It footage:

Also of interest - I've just returned from a birthday party where I met a very attractive, confident 45 year old woman who positively incandesced (made up word?) at somebody's mention of the name Jimmy Savile. "All I can say" she fumed "is that I spent an entire afternoon alone in a flat with Jimmy Savile when I was 14 years old. He behaved like a complete gentleman, was a total delight and I utterly refuse to jump on this dreadful bandwagon witch hunt against him".

One supposes a TV programme containing hundreds (if not thousands) of similar 'claimants' would not warrant any airtime whatsoever.[/quote]
Very probably you could put together a programme of ladies, that would stick up for Jimmy, that would out weigh the number, that have accused the poor fella.[/quote]

Chris Retro	Well Tosspot is all in a tizzie - seems to think JS was controlling the Thatcher Govt for his own "sordid ends" and that they are hiding documents that will prove that!
