I have just watched the new Jimmy Saville documentary on Netflix, and I’m amazed at the amount of rumours that were going around about him but he never got caught whilst alive!
I’ve watched previous documentaries about him with Louis Theroux whilst he was alive, but this was a real eye opener. The opportunities he had to commit these crimes was disgusting.
Not only that, I was dumbfounded how close he was with Thatcher, And the Royal Family. They would write to him and ask him advice on numerous occasions with the letters being shown. The most famous letter was how they should act in public after the Lockerbie bombing!
So how did he get away with it?

He was well connected to the royals and Thatcher, neither of whom would want embarrassing revelations to come out, thereby calling into question their judgement. Same with Prince Andrew and Epstein/Maxwell. A well oiled operation swung into effect to try to defend Andrew. Unfortunately for him, the US judiciary and legal system wasn't quite so compliant as our own, see the reluctance on the part of the Met to look into the partygate saga. It's bent as fuck. If you have money and position, you have to be really bad/very stupid/unlucky to get caught. And even then, in some cases, you just brazen it out and don't give a fuck.

People around him seemed to have little idea of the extent of his shenanigans. I don't think for one second folk in high authority covered it up so to speak. He was obviously an odd character and easy to judge after the revelations I guess. He was hardly friends with the likes of Mrs Thatcher , he was seen as an incredible fundraiser which he was and trusted by many as a well known figure. Elton John was allegedly known for getting his driver to pick up very young, often homeless boys for parties according to one 70s musician but no more ever came if it at the time like the John Lydon/Nolans comments at the time of Savile.

Easy to say that Mrs Thatcher knew this and that, she had him at many social functions etc and why not? As did so many.

There was an interview with his nephew that's on youtube. When his nephew was very young (maybe 14-16 type age) he travelled to London for some reason or other, alone, and was found at a train station by a bloke and invited back to a "party" at a flat where a lot of young boys were also present. At one point Jimmy Saville turned up, clocked his nephew and then his nephew was taken out of the situation. I think it's highly likely based on that story that a lot of Saville's protection was as a result of being the guy on the ground commanding a ring of procurers.

A member of the 70s group Cockney Rebel said was common place with one or 2 to send drivers to collect kids at Kings Cross. Often they were polaroided allegedly and warned what would happen to them if blabbed. One did go to The Sun and the story was then debunked by The Sun itself after they spent 2 or 3 days reporting it with a later apology that the young lad made it up. How often do The Sun do that?

I'm sure they all claimed they had no idea; what are they going to say "yeah, I knew he was a raving paedo, but it didn't really bother me" If you read that BBC article, and read between the lines of what the civil service and security agencies were saying, it's clear that many people knew what was going on and that they were concerned about the closeness of the relationships between Savile and Thatcher, and Savile and the royals. He wasn't daft, Savile. He knew how to make sure he was protected while he was alive.

There was something really weird about the Have I Got News for you hoax that the episode never aired because I remember distinctly watching it. I'd been chasing after a lass for months and she texted to invite me around to her flat but I watched HIGNFY before heading over. It was that much of a car crash even a straining erection couldn't pull me away.
Don't know if it was because BBC Scotland were a week ahead or something but I definetly saw the episode. It was creepy as fuck that everyone knew he was a horrible kid fucking bastard but here he was still in plain sight.

Didn't his own PA have no idea? Always going to be theories and finger pointing when in fact we'll never know.

I'm sure he was friends with lots of people in high places. I suspect he was canny enough to know that if he managed that he was largely untouchable. It'd be naive to think he wasn't protected by those people, even if that protection only amounted to the odd phone call here and here so that not too much scrutiny fell on their own judgement about socialising regularly with a paedo.

Also, the charity work put him on a pedestal which put him beyond question and gave him power. Broadmoor? How did worm his way in there? Because if he wanted to be involved nobody could stop him. And his involvement would be perceived as positive because of his charity work and connections. And that combination underpins all aspects of this vile sickening story. One thing about him being a national treasure is flawed though. Long before he died the tide had sort of turned against him. He was widely reviled by many and the rumours were hinted at when he was referred to.

he does state in the police interview audio that he has a network of high ranked police officers in yorkshire who help him with these allegations when they surface and threatens the interviewing female that if she doesnt stop she will be on traffic come monday morning
a vile man who used the establishments in this country to further his sick crimes
i was also horrified about his alleged necrophilia acts and that he spent a number of days with his departed mothers remains who he had an odd relationship with
just sick and disgusting

Certainly a national celebrity but I think the Louis Theroux doc showed that he had a slightly different opinion of himself that maybe the general public did. More of a national eccentric

Which leads to what sounds like some uncomfortable laughter from the audience and a look from Diane Abbot. The 'hoax' part of it is an apparent rant that Paul Merton made against the scumbag. Which by all accounts from those involved in the episode, didn't happen.

To be fair to Diane Abbot she did say after the show that she found Fluff Freeman to be quite creepy.
