A four part, forensic, detailed, convincing exploration of the Savile activity at Duncroft, the approved school which started it all. After reading it, even blinkered media editors may take action. And I'll be very surprised if it doesn't cause Dame Janet Smith to jump into the air and get straight on the phone to somebody. It's all the more convincing because it's not judgemental. It's measured and balanced and neither condemns or accuses. It simply tells a very specific, long story. And do read the comments. There is a witness.

Nobody is going to make any money from this, which might put off the lower grade newspaper bosses. Nobody wants to make any money, which may surprise people. It's a great, great story but might require some eating of humble pie.

Sorry to be an ignoramus, but I can't see a source for any of this. What have I missed. Obviously there must be some proof that she didn't just make it up. I guess I should have been following more closely. Sorry.

Yes it's almost beyond belief Jim; she tracked down the original girl who invited Savile to Duncroft. This is her story. Streets above the current standard of investigation and reporting. You'll be boggled by Parts Three and Four.

as always a fascinating read.

Raccoon, Moor Larkin and rabbitaway make Fleet St look like amateurs. Bet they read her as well.

the statement is backed up by documentary evidence in the form of the files from the school at the time, now held by Barnados. Anna Raccoon asked for her file as was astonished by the amount of detail - she talks about it in her blog under "personal lives". I assume the Susan character has done the same. This was an "approved" school, 15 staff and only 20 inmates. and a locked facility.

What I find truly shocking is that the Met appear to be blocking this evidence being forwarded to the Dame Smith enquiry.

It is an absolutely fascinating and detailed piece of forensic evidence. What disturbs me is not so much the Establishment opposition to examining the facts but the media silence.

Why? Not because I think they ought to be discovering the truth. They don't care about that and never have. But because it's a great story. And that always used to be their prime motive.

And the public? I think their 5 seconds of interest in anything passed years ago. They are even, now, getting bored with Max Clifford.
