Jimmy Savile was one of the first pioneers of celebrity fund raising for charity which is the reason why he was treated favourably by the prime minister at the time. In hindsight, do you think that was a wise decision by the Conservative PM of the day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

crookesey 635 #2455 Posted September 5, 2021 It always troubles me when guys like Saville and Smith are only exposed following their deaths. The only answer is that there is a preference to cover up than to expose and save the abuse of the young and vulnerable, didn’t it ever enter Thatcher’s head to have Saville given the full treatment by the police prior to befriending him?

She knew all about Cyril Smith and still she knighted him. So did David Steel, leader of the Lib Dems. And yes it is curious that only after death are these people exposed, which suggests it's still going on now.

Dead people can not sue for defamation and their ability to intimidate in other ways also tends to wane with death. 1 hour ago, Anna B said: She knew all about Cyril Smith and still she knighted him.

At the time when Margaret Thatcher was PM Jimmy Savile was well respected and one of the top celebrities in this country as well as being a serial charity fund raiser. Will just add Margaret Thatcher died about two years after Jimmy Savile died and due to her bad state of health in her last few years I doubt she became aware of the horrendous things Jimmy Savile is accused of doing. There is nothing ludicrous about exploring the connection between the Conservative Party hierarchy and one of the most notorious paedophiles ever.
