I had no idea at the time but in the mid 90's as a kid I read this irvine welsh (the trainspotting guy) book of short stories. One of the stories was about this guy called "freddie royle" who was a beloved entertainer who did lots of charity work and donated loads of money to the hospital but also hosed the dead bodies in the morgue.

When all the allegations came out I immediately thought of that. From wiki:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecstasy:_Three_Tales_of_Chemical_Romance

"Lorraine Goes To Livingston

After suffering a stroke, Rebecca Navarro, a best-selling romance novelist, discovers the truth about her corrupt, pornography-loving husband. With the help of Lorraine, her sexually confused nurse, she plots her revenge.

Another nurse at the hospital, Glen, has been secretly admiring Lorraine but after a night at a club, decides to pursue her friend Yvonne instead. Meanwhile, Glen has been accepting money from Freddy Royle, a necrophiliac TV personality. The hospital trustees turn a blind eye to Freddy's nefarious pastime but have to do some fast talking when the new coroner begins asking questions. "

Cultural references

Following the 2012 Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal, commentators have remarked on the seemingly uncanny resemblance between the character of Freddy Royle and Savile[4] and Welsh has stated he was aware of the Savile rumours at the time. He has stated: "I had nothing to do with the hospital services, or NHS trusts, or the BBC, so how come I knew this rumour about Jimmy Savile, this eccentric British institution? There must have been so much stuff on the grapevine. But there was a whole culture then of not addressing these issues." [5]


"The American rock band My Chemical Romance was named after the book, after the bassist, Mikey Way, saw this book title while working in a Barnes & Noble. The phrase "Chemical Romance" caught his eye, prompting him to eventually come up with the band's name, who formed in 2001"

Okay I've found the other side of my line in the sand re: the death penalty, I thought I was hard against it for anyone on the planet, we should always rehabilitate, we should never as a society have the right to decide that anyone is too far gone

There's a popular conspiracy theory that everyone in power knew what Savile was up to, but couldn't risk doing anything to stop him because he was the fixer (pun intended) who enabled other high-profile paedophiles access to kids. Any accusations against him while he was still alive could have seen him dishing the dirt on everyone he was connected to.

So why didn't any of this come out until immediately after he died? Was he that powerful/influential that he'd destroy anyone who outed him?

The reality of Jimmy Savile is bad enough. The idea that people waited for this 84 year old to die of natural causes before finally speaking out is even worse. Granted, Americans almost did the same thing with Cosby.

This racist, misogynistic piece of poo poo is in love with the sound of his own voice. I tried reading his little vagina manifesto, but he writes like a 13 year old who's been told he's smart and has already bought his fedora and is in the process of growing out his ponytail.

He's taken down his 20 page self-indulgent screed, but here're two snippets:

quote:

I may be willing to go along with saying disabled person rather than handicapped person, I am not willing to say person with a disability rather than disabled person. I am not willing to say enslaved person rather than slave. I was willing to switch from the perfectly good word Negro to black, but I was not willing to move again from black to African American.

You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.
IIRC, Savile was also questioned on suspicion of being the Yorkshire Ripper, as one of the victims was murdered in sightline of his flat. Mind you, so were half of Joy Division.

At least New Order didn't strike up a friendship with the actual Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe, whilst he was in Broadmoor.

I cross river, Poor and broke,
Take bus, See employment folk.
Nice man Treat me good in there
Say I need Go see Welfare.
Welfare say, 'You come no more,
We send cash Right to your door.

Welfare checks, They make you wealthy,
Medicaid It keep you healthy!
By and by, Got plenty money,
Thanks to you, TAXPAYER dummy.

Write to friends In motherland,
Tell them 'come, fast as you can'
They come in buses And Chevy trucks

I buy big house With welfare bucks.
They come here, We live together,
More welfare checks, It gets better!
Fourteen families, They moving in,
But neighbor's patience Wearing thin.
Finally, white guy Moves away,

I buy his house, And then I say,
'Find more aliens For house to rent.
In my yard I put a tent.
Send for family They just trash,
But they, too, Draw welfare cash!

Everything is Very good,
Soon we own Whole neighborhood..
We have hobby It called breeding,
Welfare pay For baby feeding.
Kids need dentist? Wife need pills?
We get free! We got no bills!

TAXPAYER crazy! He pay all year,
To keep welfare Running here.
We think America Darn good place!
Too darn good For white man race

When the Jimmy Saville story broke my flatmate told me a story. Quoting for memory here:

"When my brother studied to become a journalist, they had a class on ethics. One of the things they stressed in that class was what to do if you as a journalist stumbled across a story that couldn't be exposed for whatever reason. An example give was this: Let's say you learn that a major philanthropist is a serial child rapist. You have the proof, this person has literally hosed children up every orifice for years. He has also donated incredible amounts of money to medical charity. Let's say he alone funds Britain's best hospital for children with spinal injuries. Do you expose him? If you do, that hospital will probably shut down, because who will step up and donate £1 million every year? Are you willing to sacrifice every child with a spinal injury?"

My flatmate's brother graduated in 1996. So if this story is true (I believe it was) it was obviously a well-known secret for decades. Big enough it may have been used as an example of what to shut up about.

I'm no ethics major or anything but sweet jesus yes expose him it sucks for the hospital but also he's a literal child rapist. I cannot even imagine thinking "well a couple of raped children is just the price we pay for a hospital funding :downs:"
