Boycott the BBC??

Gcc, I'm more interested in your opinions of a) the media and b) her.
Care to disclose?

i have much to say on this subject but i will keep my opinion to my selves RE JIMMY SAVILE

but to you all that have lived a sheltered protected and safe life you do not KNOW NOR WILL YOU EVER UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS TO LIVE THE LIFE THAT SO MANY OF US DO
when you live on the safe side of the abuse it is so easy to say oh they should have stopped going there ... or seeing them ... they kept going back ... therefore they Knew they understood .... they liked..... enjoyed it ......

MY ABUSER was a well liked, well respected, Businessman, councilor on on every fund raising committee that was going he raised enough money to build a village hall and youth club with football field, the POWER that people like him had over a slip of a lass like me was immense it took me till i was 33 to prosecute him

SPEAKING OUT IS NOT ABOUT MONEY BUT ABOUT HEALING AND PUTTING THAT GUILT AND SHAME BACK TO THE PERSON THAT OWNS IT AND RELEASING OURSELVES



i can only imagine how it would have been to be wronged by someone of BIG AS A BBC RADIO/ TELEVISION STAR,
EVEN NOW WE HAVE PEOPLE WITH THEIR ROSE COLOURED GLASSES ON THAT WOULD RATHER LOOK THE OTHER WAY THAN FACE WHAT THESE EVIL ******* ARE CAPABLE OF


fOLLY YOU ARE TRULY AMAZING I AM PROUD OF YOU x YOUR SISTER IN SURVIVING xx

 

Why didn;t these people come forward when the was the talk about the childrens home in Jersey would of made more sense IMO,
I am surprised no one has said Rupert Murdock could be behind the plot to bring down the BBC

 

That was the question!
Money (or the perception of the likelihood) is likely to behind the declaration in many cases.
Your question as to why your example kept going back for more tends to suggest you were similarly suspicious.
Those that have remained silent for 30 years following 1 incident may feel safe in disclosing now he is no more. These individuals may be able to use reporting as a means of achieving closure and this I can understand.
It will be interesting to find out if any individual can provide supporting evidence, rather than just claiming a one-off supposed incident.
The BBC heirarchy have still to feel the wrath of authority, if it can be proven that senior management colluded to hide evidence for commercial reasons.

 

none of us stand alone it is our voice that weakens their hold over us and one day will set us free ... so much of what you say hits home with me ... even with the April Jones abduction and now this .. i have had people msg me of late saying your quiet whats up ..... sometimes just what can you say ...... proud of you too LILIANA

 

Were there previous allegations against Savile?
In 2007, Surrey police questioned Savile over allegations of child sex abuse in the 1970s. The matter was referred to the Crown Prosecution Service, which advised there was insufficient evidence to take further action.
In 2008, Sussex police received a complaint of sexual assault against Savile which allegedly took place in Worthing in 1970. But police later said the victim was "unwilling to co-operate in any investigation".
Savile was also named, although not publicly, during a 2008 police investigation into abuse at Haut de Garenne children's home in Jersey.
In December 2011 a six-week BBC Newsnight investigation into claims that the police and Crown Prosecution Service had shelved inquiries into abuse allegations against Jimmy Savile was dropped.
now imagine that you had been abused by this " " would you come forward ?

so why now ? because so many others have had courage to do so and now people are listening and they want him to be seen for what he was

as to it will be interesting to see who is will or able to provide any evidence OMG
really ????????

 

I have sympathy for those who were in hospital or care homes etc
But the groupies, they are just on the band wagon for any sniff of money

I expect if I was fourteen/fifteen and some star bedded me I would be chuffed to bits
and have bragging rights over my peers (If I had been female, As a male no chance that Ursula Andres would have her wicked way with me)

AND I can not understand how or why fifteen year old schoolboys complain that a 23year old vamp school teacher took them away for a weekend cor flippin eck
I would take a polished apple in every day :-)

Sadly, you're both pearls above price!

 

I think we're all thoroughly looking forward to this. At least, I am!

I think there's complex reasons why some victims may not have come forward - for many of them it was a transaction that they were complicit in, after all. He did what he wanted, they got what they were offered. Yes, he should not have done it but from the victim's point of view it might seem hard to complain after the event.

Also, dare I say it, it may not have been traumatic for all victims. Yes, they were used and manipulated but otherwise were doing what pubescent girls are usually hell-bent on doing anyway.

I don't want to minimise the suffering of people who have suffered trauma from sexual abuse, however. But a one-off semi-consensual grope from creepy Jim may not have caused permanent mental damage and that's another reason why women did not report it - they just shrugged their shoulders and put it down to (bad) experience.

 

Exactly!!
