Yes Gwynne I heard it,,,,,Its in view of the many expected claims,,,,,,,,but its been said many times its tainted money,,,,,,I would never want a cent of that perverts cash.

I saw the clip of him actually on air molesting that then young girl ,,,,,,its looked so innocent not at all sordid as she was laughing so nobody had an inkling what the perv was up to....

Savile's multi-million pounds estate has been frozen, according to the news this morning.

Have you added your post on the wrong thread PP, not sure what you mean :-)

Rather than using Wikipeadia for information which is accurate

Why not just go to the library and look at any medical journals etc.,

I could go on to Wikipeadia now and add any old thing I wanted to any page. In fact there are people out there who do this on the Wiki pages of famous people just to see how often their 'fibs' are quoted by those who are too lazy to do proper research.

Wikipeadia - not research :-P

I too felt the nephew was genuine and he probably was - but others must have known

a murderer a thief,a rapist,a wife beater and anything else in to the mix,,,,,,,they will still love him for what he was to them,and awful they are carrying the burden of what he did,when in reallity they should be carrying any guilt.....they are not in any way responsible

JS spent his time away from home while committing these acts so they would have no idea what he was up to.

I thought the nephew seemed so genuine and I'll stick with that until proved otherwise. You have to hope that some of the family are good people.

I always felt the family must have had an idea - Chinese whispers and all that

I haven't seen that interview as yet Sue, but have just listened to his Nephew, who said that he didn't know anything about the abuse. He said he couldn't understand how he was so awful, yet so good, doing all the work for charities that he did.

I suppose he as yet, he doesn't understand that is how paedophiles work, they mostly have two sides, one complete evil, the other Mr/Mrs wonderful.

What a shock for the nephew when he realises that his Nephew/Uncle relationship was a farce.

Oh dear, just watched the interview with the great niece (hope I have that right).
She accused some members of the family of turning a blind eye for financial gain. I flinched when she said that on TV.


I thought that should have been reported to the police investigating.

confused and don't know how I feel about it.com

A whole can of worms has been opened,

Peados in the industry who have in any way been connected to JS or not, must be crapping themselves now as more victims find the courage to speak out. :-D

Hope this brings closure to them all.

Paul Gadd, aka Gary Glitter has been arrested today, no surprises there then.

I know the types Maggie, I feel the same, but when it comes to child abuse I make it my business, and have done so in the past. I wasn't listened to, when I first had an inkling something was wrong, but when the creep was arrested I was so pleased that I had told what I felt, and I hope because of that when the case went to court, it was another nail in his coffin, he got seven years by the way, not enough in my opinion, but at least he got some time behind bars.

I think the nephew of JS has got to be commended for facing the problem head on.
As a representative of the family he is carrying a dreadful burden not of his making, but rather than shy away and pretend the problem isn't his, he is acknowledging it whilst still reeling from his own personal shock of the revelations.-jl

...apparently the lovely 'Duchess' knew, according to her grand daughter, abused by uncle Jimmy - but this was 'just his way'.....

I have the urge to pull up young men's trousers, ( you know the ones), and slap street spitters in the face - but I don't........because annoying as they are - it's not my business

Maggie There are some on this thread who would always pull up those trousers. You are wrong to not get involved :-(

Terrible if what the granddaughter said about the "Duchess of Leeds" is correct :-0

I think this spans across the UK and involves police and MPs, actors, presenters, who knows who. The police had 7 chances to act....they didnt. His family said the girls were liars and attention seekers (now they've suddenly changed their tune with the press on the doorstep) and his own brother was a convicted sex offended. His grand-niece was abused by a family member. How did they not know???

Jimmy's nephew has said he is so sorry for the victims
his family are now apologizing to the victims :-(

Thanks .. it's a hard subject to talk about but a really good thread. :-)

Neubie, I wasn't saying it didn't happen, I was just saying I didn't see it. You haven't offended me at all, I've seen and heard so much in my working life, I don't think I could be offended :-D

Blimey Ann, I'm :-0ed then :-S then :-D, but not surprised.

I was a bit slow realising who John was - by the way folks, he professes to be a Methodist preacher who preaches all over the Welsh Valleys and now he's preaching to us on here

His cover was blown apparently when I was on holidays
