Liz MacKean - the woman journalist behind the Newsnight story on Savile - had a stroke and died today aged 52. On the same day that our Anna - who exposed the lies and exaggerations of the false accusers of Savile - passed away. Anna proved the BBC were right to drop the Newsnight story. Not that the media have approved. It was too great a story.

KARMA

Then what did Anna Raccoon do?

Anna had a good long life (by many peoples' standards) - she'd just celebrated her 70th and her cancer struck before the Savile fiasco; in fact she was in bed with no hair after chemo in hospital when she read the Savile Duncroft claims and it dawned on her that they were untrue. I think what MWTW meant was not that all deaths are due to Karma but that Karma can have an impact. Do read my piece on them both.

I do believe in karma, but I think its purpose is to teach, rather than than smite down our enemies for us.

I didn't believe in Karma until after that letter I got in Belmarsh and seeing the people get smited or smut or smotted. Now I rather do feel it has many shapes; good, bad, educational, entertaining - but I also feel that some people have bile mixed with blood in their veins and the acid appears to have a physical effect.

I know you won't like this JK, but you often ignore the Karma effect on your mate Gambo, that was the quickest most delicious form of Karma I've ever seen. He won't have peace until he apologises and lifts the Savile curse from himself.

Oh I went on and on about that at the time; so much so that Mr Fry, who was at the dinner table, begged me to stop.

Although Liz McKean clearly contributed to the Savile storm, I expect she was most likely duped. It must be difficult to sit opposite someone (Karin Ward) who says they have been abused and doubt them, especially if they also say that they're suffering from cancer and if that was indeed true. She must have put Ward's fraud conviction to the back of her mind, just as Mark Williams-Thomas presumably did with Fiona's fake police letter for the BBC and Wilfred De'Ath's self-confessed activity as a con man.

I wonder if any of Anna's journalist contacts will write a tribute to her that gives proper acknowledgement to her investigations regarding Jimmy Savile and Duncroft.

I got a lovely message from Bob Woffinden's widow Anne that he is with me in spirit, as I'm sure Sue (Anna Raccoon) is.
