Let's be totally objective here; there will have been a variety of complaints, all totally inspired by media coverage. Women will have been reminded of encounters, good and bad, with celebrities and media people. Some will have been genuine assaults. Some will be totally invented. And the enormous amount in the middle range from misunderstandings and over reactions to exaggerations and inflations.

Memory plays strange tricks. We all tend to colour up our past encounters with fame.

i get the feeling that, at last, intelligent commentators are starting to question the veracity of nostalgia.

Read ROY GREENSLADE in the Guardian. And even Richard Littlejohn in the notorious right wing MAIL is expressing unease.

Remember, according to blessed Esther, not one single person made an anonymous complaint to Childline about Savile during this weird rampage of paedophilia. How odd. They knew their call could not be traced yet, in all those years, not ONE complaint?

Leveson tried to examine the morality of the media. I went on there suggesting they look more closely at the relationship between police and media. Both love a good story. Both love a high profile conviction. And the results can lead to promotion which, in turn, can lead to serious offenders like killers escaping detection for years and innocent girls being murdered.

Well covered again JK.

As stated, for 'Yewtree' read "WITCH HUNT"

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/ji...e-investigation.html

Even Rancid is criticising the Witch Hunt now - albeit in her usual cake-and-eat-it bleeding heart way. TWT is not amused. He's also "investigating" as to "the wherabouts of Savile's Millions"...

The liars involved can have no conscience & obviously have no religious beliefs. And there are probably a good many liars in it.

Meanwhile the Ray Teret toll goes up:

People taking advantage of the fact that he was a mate of JS...

I like the last bit "Why was he never arrested for his crims?" Possibly because he never did anything.

surprisingly 90% Daily Mail posters criticize the lawyers and claimants with lots of green arrows and the few supporters lots of red.

Still wonder what the legal position is- as others point out even if there was money 'stolen' it belongs to the charities where the donors wished it to go...anyone claiming it is thieving.

publishing that dodgy pic again though.

This was precisely why I went on LEVESON - to highlight the Police/Media relationship... the way the Police have learned how to USE the media coverage - dawn raids, spectacular unnecessary arrests (instead of questioning) in order to give the appearance of guilt for future prosecutions)... at last commentators are starting to spot this and comment on it. Believe me, this year we'll see prosecutions of police officers "attempting to pervert the course of justice" by their methods and behaviour.
