Savile’s Travels

Disinformation on the Internet

This badly photo shopped fake photo is doing the rounds on Facebook. These are the fields around Chequers about two miles from where I live. Savile was never Tony Blair's guest at Chequers but DID spend 11 New Year's Eves there as Margaret Thatcher's house guest and he was a major Tory supporter and donor.

Whatever the rights and wrongs (which can never be proved or disproved bearing in mind Savile hung around for 84 years during which he could have been charged if there WAS any actual evidence) it is amazing how the same supine journalists who NEVER published the "overwhelming evidence" when he was alive are now using this to discredit the BBC, Leveson Enquiry, NHS and the Labour Party to which Savile had ZILCH connection.

Madame Tussaud's has permanently melted down Jimmy Savile's waxwork

I repeat he was heavily involved and contributed to the Tory Party and Margaret Thatcher gave him his Knighthood yet The Skum in what passes for an editorial in that rag last week didn't mention this but condemned the silence of Miliband! Not sure what he is meant to comment on? A Police Enquiry which will never be a prosecution? Hearsay about hearsay? Rumour about rumour? A claim made after 40 years? A "resting" actress who says she was ""abused" in a crowded studio with cameras?

This doctored photo is itself a lie but no doubt its propagators are happy to help The Skums agenda? There is something fishy about how the Jimmy Savile affair, which in reality can go nowhere as he is dead, is being used against NHS, BBC, Press Regulation and Labour (as Savile was a Tory cheerleader) by the Murdoch Press. I've checked and this photo is a Photoshop fake so somebody is putting some effort into this.

I met Jimmy Savile on several occasions (and his mum, Agnes the "Duchess") when I was 16 -18 on the Big Big Charity Walk in Dublin which raised millions for the Central Remedial Clinic in Clontarf. I spent 20 minutes chatting to him once before I could no longer keep up with him at the top of the walk - he was a very fit guy. I had no problems with him and he was friendly but it was obvious he was also an oddball with very strange attitudes to women.

Stoke Mandeville hospital announced that it has renamed a cafe called
Jimmy's after Savile following allegations that patients were
abused by the deceased star. The cafe was opened by Savile in 2005
after his years of fundraising for the spinal injuries unit at the hospital,
for which he raised over £40 million .
He worked at Stoke Mandeville as a volunteer porter from 1969 and
began his charity work there three years later.

I do understand how difficult it is for people who are young, vulnerable and abused to come forward. The great difficulty is nothing can now be resolved in any real sense as Savile is;

A; Dead and

B; Cannot defend himself.  

Post Mortem enquiries are problematic at the best of times, maybe we should save a lot of effort and expense by accepting the time has passed when anything could be resolved? I would prefer if the Police concentrated on solving future crimes and stopped ignoring current crime rather than investigate and rewrite history?
