CAN WE REALLY BE CIVIL ABOUT SAVILE AND BBC AS HE IS USED AS A PUBLIC SANITISER FOR SHAMEFUL DRAMAS
Time for Britain's broadcast shame to fall on its own sword?
From Jimmy Savile to Rolf Harris and Stuart Hall to Russel Brand, there have been just too many sexual predators, abusers and cover-ups at that jolly old British institutional ‘auntie’, the BBC.
And surely its new drama about Savile – I won’t point you at it, but it is easy to find - is shamelessly using his story about child abuse, necrophilia, cold-fish handshakes, manipulation, the incendiary wielding of power in high places, lies, cheating and unholy liaisons, to clean up its own tawdry little act.
Savile - just like that laughing hyena of family entertainment Stuart Hall - was twisted, callous and evil.
I avoided him socially and refused to shake his hand whenever I met him, then I hunted him for years on behalf of a number of news organisations. Fairly recently I worked on a tell-all documentary about him for a leading streaming company.
He was a guffawing, greasy, arrogant, pompous clothes-horse of a man who lived in a Manchester back-street dump and liked bubble cars. If he hadn’t been famous and just a dance club DJ, he would have found himself the victim of Manchester street justice.
Everybody in the media knew what he was doing but were blocked from high battlements on revealing anything.
The BBC knew all about him too, believe me.
Even, way back then, our national broadcaster was unaccountable, secretive and pustulating with a deep disregard for children and an obsession with stiff upper lips…
Savile’s disgusting shameful egotistical conduct was the BBC’s worst-kept secret and because of his bracelets and hair, he was television gold. He was an asset.
The BBC’s latest ‘drama’ about him, treats him as just that again.
Shameful.
Here are a number of stories about twisted people and the BBC:
WHY HAVEN’T THE BBC’s THOUSANDS OF JOURNALISTS TRIED TO EXPOSE THE INSTITUTION’S NEST OF PERVERTS?
Back in the day I investigated BBC celebs over fears there were weirdos and willing to manipulate youngsters – including teenagers – for their own grubby gratification. I chased Jimmy Savile for The Sunday Express, The Sun and the Daily Star. But I kept crashing in to stinking walls. But it stood me in good stead, and eventually, a couple of years ago, I…
A SELF-CONFESSED PAEDOPHILE AND DOG-MOLESTER STILL LOOKS DOWN ON THE BBC’S CELEBRITIES OF SHAME
Is the BBC the most convoluted and ‘secretive’ news organisation in Britain today? Simple equation … the media investigated – totally legally – claims over yet another celeb acting in a questionable way.Thanks for reading Leigh’s Newsletter!

VICTIM’S LIFE OF TRAUMA REVEALED AS GLITTER IS ALLOWED TO BE IN OUR GANG AGAIN
Paul Gadd – a monster up there with the likes of Jimmy Savile and the BBC’s laughing hyena Stuart Hall – is back on the streets of the UK at the age of 78. Gadd who used his fame as Gary Glitter, a bargain-basement Elvis look-alike with pop-shlock pointless songs, was jailed in 2015 for sex offences on three schoolgirls.
Here is the Huws – red tops, BBC new-scandal blues, yellow-belly social media and all those dark lies and whitewashes
Do you know, there is something inherently wrong about the story concerning a depressed TV presenter who got caught up in a scandal either of his own making or not. Huw Edwards is one of the UK’s leading journalists with coming-up-to half a century in the job. He should have known exactly what the consequences were if his peccadillos leaked in an interna…
THE SECRET DEATH OF GLITTER AND SAVILE’S PERVERT MATE DJ DENNING
Chris Denning, described by a judge as 'depraved', was serving two sentences after being convicted of sex offences against children as young as eight under Operation Yewtree. Denning had found fame in the 1960s as a BBC DJ, becoming one of the founders of the station.
Without mainstream media there would be a hole where no light gets in …
Mainstream society loves to use the mainstream media as its whipping boy … skinning what they see as the wicked messengers. For years now, since the advent of social media – that pretend voice of the people – propagandists and conspiracy theorists, like the once smuttily funny Russell Brand and generally uncomprehending new-age media commentators, have t…
A group of well thought out articles which helps to expose the hidden agenda of all mainstream organisations who do not like negative publicity. The fact that in itself it can show the openness of an organization and show how it wants to portray their ability to take negativeness and make it a strength is missed by most.
They are all about the three year stats that is all they will be there for and not think longer term.
Long live articles like yours as it exposes the natures wrongs.
Yes, but there's a big problem. Jim'll Fix It was the one "decent" thing on the telly (after 23.5 minutes of Dr Who) on a Saturday night of my childhood years. He certainly was an entertainer. Jim also volunteered at a hospital, ran loadsa marathons to raise money for charity, wore tracksuits and was allowed to smoke cigars on TV (how "cool" was that), and kids appeared to be in love with him. How many complaints did Mary Whitehouse's National Viewers and Listeners Association lodge with the BBC via newspaper letters columns about Saville raping girls? I don't recall anything like that. She did complain about Dr Who frightening kids, despite the fact Dr Who never even touched kids. If you'd have gone to PC John Bull, you'd be the one charged (if anyone was charged) - with wasting police time. Like Hitler, Saville had supporters in his lifetime and he controlled the media via threats of legal action for libel. You have to accept that this is not a one-off problem of the past. It is something that the legal system and the "celebrity" obsession repeatedly produces. His supporters were those he in turn supported, the BBC producers of his shows, the journalists who he gave promotional interviews to, etc. They may have known, but they didn't publish evidence to expose him.
