The NHS reports, forensically examined in detail by the mighty Anna, are worth reading if you want to know the truth. Nobody could ever believe a single claim against Jimmy Savile after reading these. There are so many bonkers loonies out there; some even appear normal and many have convinced themselves. They make Alien Abductions sound genuine.

Thank you everyone, music to my delicate porcelain ears!

I have my own one man band working night and day convincing people to just "think" and analyse the non evidence. They always come back and want to know more. One thing I have noticed is that folk think they are "expected" to say "dirty filthy so and so" which I have to sit and take, but I understand they say this to protect themselves. When they know who I am they are fascinated and "admit" I always thought there was more to this. At this point you can't shut me up..... The diaries, the fake daughter, the Lawyers, our Spindler meeting and his apologies, the DNA, his grave etc etc....... I can really bang on given the opportunity (just like now)

One thing is for sure, I've had a 100% success rate and its easy, when folk know they are in safe Savile company they speak honestly and openly. That speaks volumes doesn't it? My delicate ears and soul need to wade through the hate first but it's worth it. Onwards!!!!!

Hopefully Amanda you've read my account of the one social meeting I had with Jimmy (in the second volume of autobiography - 70FFFY).

I did JK...... Thank you!

You're welcome Amanda - I shall never be afraid to stand up and speak the truth, no matter how much others try to stop me. Jimmy was not my kind of person; we never became friends; I hold no torch for him; the kind of DJ uninterested in music - but the day I spent with him I saw a saint; doing incredible good in a most unusual and eccentric way; and I think I was one of the few who saw the REAL Savile - for about 20 minutes, after the day in Stoke Mandeville, when he made me and my brother tea, collapsed exhausted onto his shabby sofa and forgot the public image. I have no idea about his private life or his personal tastes but the man I saw that day was totally dedicated to making broken people smile and the hopeless get hope. I was incredibly impressed and that was no phoney. That was a genuine Samaritan.

Am ashamed to say I was too. Just assumed that a TV documentary must be reliable (though I do remember wondering where MWT had come from as I hadn't seen him before). How silly and naive! It wasn't until I came across Anna Raccoon's blog, then Moor Larkin's and Rabbitaway's, that I started questioning things. I also remember bursting out laughing at the report of Jimmy Savile wearing a ring made from "a dead man's eye". It's just the kind of joke my grandfather would have made if he'd worn a ring of that kind.

That's great to hear! It seems a good reason to hope that slowly but surely most people will come to realise how duped they were.

So JS's offence was being a DJ who was uninterested in music...I jokingly say that Sir Cliff should be prosecuted for crimes against musical taste (at least, my own musical taste)...at the event of the day a sense of humour is the best defence. Jonathan King is lucky that he has always been able to retain his, of course many falsely accused cannot, some unfortunately commit suicide.

Yes and I must add; not really being interested in music is not a reason of itself - my dear friend Kenny Everett was completely uninterested in music (and got most of his tracks played from me) but his creative bits linking them made him a great DJ. And dear old John Peel, who based his shows entirely on music, had dreadful taste in music but his enthusiasm carried him through (and he was a damn good broadcaster - as shown in Home Truths).

I hope I'm not speaking out of turn here but one of the weird things about the Savile case was the allegation by one of his great-nieces that she was abused by him - a claim that was investigated by police for reasons other than the obvious one.

www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/405...n-compensation-claim

The outcome of the police investigation was never made public, to my knowledge. Why not? Either he had been abusing her or he hadn't. And if the result of the investigation was that he hadn't, was it somehow convenient that the public were not allowed to know?

Super injunction to protect the (in)credibility of Yewtree, maybe? Or to keep the 'Savile is a paedo' gravy train chugging along nicely?

Peel had very idiosyncratic tastes in music. They wouldn't have been mine, put it that way. I couldn't listen to his show, if I did I might find one track in a hundred that I would like.

Same for me but that one in a hundred was often a diamond you'd never find otherwise. Could never understand his love for The Fall (I tried). But we shared adoration for the Undertones. And I have several personal lovely memories to cherish.

Answer for Sheba Bear......

This is a very long story and I know the answers to your questions. Safe to say, when I cam speak freely I will, but in the meantime look up David Rose's piece on her.

One thing I can tell you, I met her for the first time at another Uncle's funeral around 2003, she was 40 and said that day it was the first time she had met her Uncle Jimmy. She said it to me and several members of her family who all gave statements to the police to prove her accusations false. The investigations into her lies were suddenly dropped by WYP under the directions from Yewtree "you will be believed" I think there were 11 signed statements in all from us.

She was a very handy poster girl. You've no idea of the truth behind this lot.

@Amanda,

It's interesting about investigations, when they figure out that witnesses aren't necessarily reliable, they sometimes stop investigations, or carefully select those witnesses who they think have a credible case (even though some carefully put together and credible cases are STILL a tissue of lies).

@JK,

I learned to like the Fall eventually, though not all their stuff, just certain songs.
