Allegations about Jimmy Saville: covered up?

Would you prefer that this had been 'hidden'?
Isn't the hiding of hideous offences against children what got us here in the first place.
In the social media there has (allegedly)been speculation about this for quite some time.

I would ask you...if your son or daughter had been molested by someone(anyone.....not just someone in the public gaze) wouldn't you be wanting them to be brought book??
You do not need to answer that last question because I can guess at your answer.

The other thing is, when a child/adolescent has been abused there are usually others out there who have also had the attention of these perverts......they feel very alone and isolated.....they feel that they must be the only person alive to have gone through this horrible event. Hearing the news that there are more like you gives you the courage to stand up and say 'he did this to me too'.
It isn't a case of jumping on the bandwagon...for notoriety or cash.....the experience was humiliating and having to stand up and tell someone about it is to relive the humiliation and disgust of yourself all over again.....and then to have people say that you are doing it for money. That must be really distressing.

The Police, the judiciary, the people who govern this country have all been shown to have feet of clay...to have behaved badly. The media are not without their flaws either.

To fetter the news media is to give these people(who all need to realise they are scrutinised) a free reign to do as they please.
Is that what you want?

I agree with every word of that post Margaret. We women certainly have a different view of this type of crime.

Do you?
I don't think so, different views have been put forward by members of both sexes, however the commonality running through all the posts has been the disdain for the perpetrators by all.

Doubt very much if theres any hotfooting back, seems very odd to me he gave up his citizenship awhile ago, makes me wonder if he was tipped a wink.

I read it, didn't think it had a female bias to it, just her usual common sense.

"Conservative MP Nigel Evans says questions must be answered about Sir Cliff's claims the media knew about the search before he did."

Well if Nigel Evans is on his side I'm absolutely sure Cliff is pure as the driven snow.

Me a neologist?
No.....I'm nowhere near good enough to be one of those...the only made up word I know is 'imbuggerance'.......something that Ma uses a lot....but I have never ever heard it used by anyone out of our family.
