Another Radio 1 DJ accused of sexual misconduct.
Gonna be bad news for the BBC. |  |

And where’s the proof for all of this? |
Have a read
Even in his book in the 70's he mentions 13 year olds, or angry dads, or something like that - I can't remember exactly. He also mentioned Yorkshire police and that they wouldn't dare investigate him.
It doesn't take inspector Clouseau to find it.

Not sure why it will be bad news for the BBC when he hasn't worked for them for some time and has worked for numerous commercial radio stations as well as MTV. Plus the BBC conducted the investigation along with the Guardian I believe. What a wrongun though! |  | | |

So basically he said that he was untouchable and you went from that to deciding that the police etc all knew that he was an evil animal who was above the law? I was looking for exact proof that there was a cover-up rather than someone using history to justify that there was a cover-up. |  | | |

He mentioned things in his book in the 70's.
He also said numerous things that show / suggest he was hiding in plain sight and possibly enjoying it.
To suggest a cover up means there was an investigation - which there wasn't when he was in his pomp. There was though a complete lack of any desire to take matters to their logical conclusion.
Not sure why you are being so difficult really. You are either on a wind up or you are very young and don't know the history. | |

Evening Matt.
Assuming you're both talking about Savile an awful lot of people have spoken out since his death and the public revelations.
Staff who were at the institutions he had access to, i.e. Stoke Mandeville had strong suspicions but those who tried to speak out were silenced. You have to remember how popular this figure was and how influential, and what with sponsorship etc.
There were accusers who weren't believed and felt belittled but it was also a culture thing but also somewhat like a cult too.
It seemed that in that era an element of abuse was deemed acceptable. Looking back now it's insane of course.
People who worked at the BBC have given evidence, as part of Yewtree etc and as far as musicians go there is the famous clip of Johnny Rotten of course. I'm assuming you're familiar.
Yes, it is more than fair to say a lot of people knew what was going on but either kept quiet or were told to shut up. [Post edited 26 Apr 2022 19:33]

I agree with that. A lot of people must have ‘suspected’ or knew that didn’t actually inform anyone. Or maybe they did but they were threatened with the sack.
Nurses, doctors, hospital management, the police, the bbc etc. Various people must have suspected but nothing was done about it. |
More than just a few whispers and suspicions by the looks of it. Huff Post even published an article warning people about him, including specifically alerting his employer (not the Beeb btw). I guess the police can’t act without an allegation though.

Hello
Thanks for this - I guess what I find hard to believe (more accurately understand) is that his behaviour was deemed acceptable enough for his accusers to be told to keep quiet. Off topic I know, but in a similar mode, I find it baffling that Page 3 ‘girls’ could be sixteen.
I have watched the Johnny Rotten interview but I misremembered in the sense that I thought he was (at the time) speculating rather than being common knowledge | | | |
