Sorry to start a thread about this sick, awful animal but they just said on Radio 4 that he was a much loved family favourite.
I CLEARLY remember watching him on Jim'l Fix It and thinking "Oh he's HORRIBLE!"
I hated him...he was frightening and I could see that some children were very scared of him on that show.
Did ANYONE actually enjoy his "performances" and appearances?? I don't think so.
I think the establishment kept him where he was...on TV and in positions of power because he knew too much about THEIR activities.
And it's funny how it all came out once he was dead and couldn't name anyone else.
I challenge anyone to think back and remember how much they "loved" him at the time before his activities were known.
