Operation Yewtree has 30 officers and has so far cost around £2m.

Scotland Yard said it hoped to provide as clear a picture as possible of Savile's offending, "giving a voice to those who have come forward and helping shape future child protection safeguards".

"We are extremely grateful to those victims who have contacted us and commend their bravery. Without them we would have no investigation," a spokesman said.

ITK predicts that when the report is published it will be shelved - as the CPS will say there is no substancial evidence on which any charges could have been based (something which the majority of complainants know very well - hence no previous complaints !!!)

It should of been called "Operation Up A Tree" really. It would of sounded like what it is. A complete farce. Where's Brian Rix, when you need him?!

Probably helping police with their enquiries.

did they interview Jimmy?. perhaps via a clairvoyant..he believed in that.

a lot of the wacky readers of the Daily Mail reckon he was 'creepy' because he was so close to his Mum.

odd.. a man is employed for decades with an act that includes dodgy died hair, cigar, bright tracksuits and the medis lurves it.....yet they can turn on sixpence and make that evidence of something else.

Probable eventual cost - 3-4 million quid? Nice hospital could be built for that. Society has gone mad; the media now totally rules budgets, political decisions, the Law - all for one reason... "It's A Great Story!".

Looks like a posthumous "Guilty" verdict is about to be delivered by the 'Boys in Tracksuits' (aka 'The Savile Police')

"..alleged sex abuse victims of the late Jimmy Savile has reached 450.

"The Operation Yewtree team said 589 alleged victims have come forward "

so already they are inferring around 150 are false. We are to believe that no-one willingly had sex with Savile in 40/50 years.

so Savile 'raped' approximately 10 people a year...and Fleet Street's finest never knew.

Instead Britain's entire media industry went on promoting Savile as he 'raped almost one person a month during his entire life and career.

Am in an alternative universe ?

139 were lying...Then, how about those that didn't decipher between whether they consented or not, until 40 years later? Then, those that also exaggerated, as in Miss Top Of The Pops 1976. Or those that are away with the fairies, totally. I'd likely say that 90% of the entire "case" has been fabricated. And a big percentage of the remainder were not really bothered at the time. The only real people that are bothered now, are the money grabbing media & the compensation claimants, that saw pound signs, back in October.
