He was an idiot in a way - making stupid noises and so on, but that was viewed as entertainment.

I saw abuse in Accrington back in the 70's but I think perhaps then in the 60's and 70's it was more acceptable in society but now it's not. For example back in those times didn't people used to pinch womens rears and it was accepted? Ok that's not rape but it's still something that was done then but now would bring heavy consequences.

Not that I'm condoning abuse in any form - but things have changed.

Maybe Savile thought that because he did good things for charity and thought that because of that he was entitled to do what it's alleged he did.
