And your point is???Yeah - never believe and eye witness.
With respect, chapeau has a tendency to make unsubstantiated and ill-researched claims and as such many of his "headline" statements should be taken with a pinch of salt or at least viewed with suspicion.Nor do you yet. Assuming for the sake of argument that he was a paedo then of course it matters. To his victims if no one else.You have no idea of any details and the number of people involved
Plus, as chapaeu has said he'd heard these tales years ago, the question needs to be asked why it didn't come to light earlier.
If people have been covering up for him because he was a good fund raiser, thus allowing him to carry on regardless, then that's scandalous.
I am fully aware that somewhere within the current psyche of discussion lay that spectre of the Hillsborough report and we are likely to be stilted with suspicions of-establishment cover-ups as a consequence. However, I am of the opinion that Saville has never been proven to be a paedophile; allegations have never been tried in court and his victims have curiously remained silent throughout his declining years when his powers and influences had gone and the opportunity to set the record straight was more than available.
Why some journalist is trying to make a name for himself and over-inflate his importance is self evident. Those who took part in this posthumous witchunt and overstate their case have questionable motives IMO.
From some of your comments you seem to have as much sympathy for the abuser as the abused in these cases.
IF Saville was an abuser then it's right he should be exposed as one,
By all accounts there are numerous victims with similar stories as well as witnesses.
Perhaps we should wait to see what they have to say.
It's funny how some people don't like their idols to be shown to have feet of clay.
The people who bought his memrobilla at the auction should be worried the value is going to plummet if this is true !!!!! . Nearly decided to bid on a jim'll fix it badge as well glad I didnt now
I read that Saville's nephew is pretty hacked off by all these allegations being made against his dead uncle who is obviously unable to refute them. One can only hope that non of these 5 are actually telling lies for their own reasons, and that their claims have been researched as much as possible to validate their plausibility..anyhow back on topic apparantly there is 5 victims that are to be aired on wed night but how may hav NOT come forward ???....I would be suspicious of one telling the story but there are 5 ...its getting aired on wed 11.10pm ITV1
Oh no another sensible debate and here comes peterpenis to bore everyone.... go and read the s@n ....there is some really good lies in there..anyhow back on topic apparantly there is 5 victims that are to be aired on wed night but how may hav NOT come forward ???....I would be suspicious of one telling the story but there are 5 ...its getting aired on wed 11.10pm ITV1

Suppose, purely for the sake of argument, that this is all a load of tripe and that they end up exaggerating and/or completely fabricate their stories for their 15 minutes of fame and, on the back of this, the charities that Saville setup suffer financially and this has an adverse effect on the people which these charities help.
Would it have been worth it then?
