Itv1 doc on now is going again with the "hiding in plain sight" tag. Except was he hiding? With Savile it was more that he was tolerated and his behaviour written off as star foibles

WiddlinDiddlin · 24/05/2023 16:04

Was his wife complicit, did she know... or was she also abused by him.

He seems like he was a very strong, forceful personality and all I have seen of her when she was younger, seems rather airy-fairy, vulnerable 'carried along with the tide'... Just the sort of person a habitual abuser would choose I guess.

Edit: That parents left me alone with while they went shopping with baby sibling.

The best piece of advice my mum has ever given me is "Never trust anyone."

It's true, and I don't. Apart from my DH and family, and maybe one or two close friends I have known for years.

Yes- Our Dad said the same
Sadly I was abused by a paedophile plumber that parents left me alone ( aged 9)
They said “ Be nice to Mr Hull, make him a cup of tea”
I didn’t tell parents for decade and a half later as I was so ashamed.

Appallingly they downplayed it- Although Mum did say she thought something was strange in his behaviour when they got back.
Paedophiles do untold emotional damage to their innocent victims .

Did she have Alzheimer’s when he was violating his daughters friend for years? How could you stay with someone after that abuse of trust?

What's that got to do with press actions now?

I have no idea what she did or didn't know, and I have no idea what her health was like when he was convicted.

But right now nobody should be harassing the family for comments when they've clearly asked to be left alone. In the case of his wife, it's possible she doesn't remember her husband is dead and nobody is going to let her speak to a journalist.

Laughingravy · 24/05/2023 10:45

Like a few other PP he was the only one I felt really let down by. He seemed like a nice guy and was a constant feature on the TV for most of my life, I even saw him live.

I can understand why the family kept his death quiet given today's headlines in the red tops - suggesting keeping his funeral secret was 'cheating his victims' really really helps no one.

Good riddance to bad fucking rubbish

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 24/05/2023 09:43

I'm more angry about the paedophiles who are never caught. 'Happily married, family men' who harass and grope young girls who are innocently walking to school (in uniform).

We're still doing it, aren't we? Focusing on the famous, the celebrities, going on and on. What about the non-celebrity paedophiles who are everywhere amongst us?

"two little boys" was Thatcher's favourite record - no doubt it reminded her she liked socialising with pedos.

So did the king but everyone seems to have swept that under the carpet

GoodChat · 24/05/2023 06:12

She was by his side all the way through court. It sickened me how many stood by him
It'd be hard to accept you'd been married to someone for so long and not know what they're really like. You'd struggle to believe it.

Mrsblobby12 · 23/05/2023 23:32

If it were Hitler that's another kettle of fish. As I say he deserved his custodial sentence and to be brought to justice for what he did. I do find it somewhat disturbing too that people are hoping his cancer was as painful as possible and that his death was incredibly traumatic. It brings out an animalistic side of people. At the end of it all he was 93, being fed through a tube.

piefacedClique · 23/05/2023 23:32

Perfectly put!

Mrsblobby12 · 23/05/2023 22:54

He's dead now, just leave it now. He did some terrible things and he served a sentence. He suffered a terrible illness and probably died suffering. Just leave it now, all the whooping and cheering and memes are just too much now.

Yes agree…find the comments quite shocking.He was obviously a vile human being but being victorious about his death and how he died is also quite disturbing 😳

Mrsblobby12 · 23/05/2023 23:26

They are yes, and I am very sorry for them. I'm very glad he got a custodial sentence and that he was found out, he deserved to.
But he's dead now, that's it. He's gone.
I find all this whoop whooping in bad taste all the same. He has a wife and daughter.

His victims are still suffering.

The only thing I'm going to say is that the press should leave the family alone. They've asked for that, yet still the Daily Mail etc are asking them for comment.

His daughter clearly doesn't want to say anything to the media and his wife has Alzheimer's. Just leave them alone.

Him and Saville are hopefully riding a Horse For Two through Hell

Perfection. May they burn for all eternity.

@DonnaBanana you might not like Thatcher but it doesn’t seem fair comparing her to convicted sex offenders.

Do you understand the part that she played in Hillsborough and making Jimmy Savile untouchable?

Jux · 23/05/2023 19:58

All his honours have been removed years ago tg, but that portrait, well it should be burnt really. Only it'd probably be treason to do unless Charlie-boy does it. Maybe Brenda did it herself when RH was jailed. We can only hope.

His wife may have alzheimer's but she's still Company Sec of a company worth about 4mill. She can probably spare some.

Alwen knew where her bread was buttered! Same with Bill Cosby's wife. Defiant until the end in the face of overwhelming proof. Maybe it's a generational thing, maybe they are so completely gaslit and brainwashed they just can't comprehend, I don't know....but I wouldn't be trawling through court every day by my husbands side as he is charged and then convicted of grooming & sexually abusing children. Absolutely no chance.

Not at all blaming the women here, not one bit, I can't imagine they've had an easy time - I just find that blind denial infuriating - it just so enables the perpetrators. But then I had it with my exMIL over her absolute horror of a son. If he'd stabbed me to death she would have blamed me and continued doting on him in prison.

Startyabastard · 23/05/2023 18:34

There is speculation that he dies earlier than today because there was supposedly a private ambulance outside his house... the types used for dead people.
The family probably wanted to protect their vulnerability and didn't want people to know where he is buried.

Startyabastard · 23/05/2023 18:32

I was victorious due to his death earlier and the person with me on the sofa when I was hearing this news was disgusted with my reaction
'because he's dead.....'
I'm a victim of paedophilia, how else would I react???? 😡
