Andrew Neil mentioned on The Daily Politics today that a video of him interviewing Savile in 1995 has been found and uploaded to youtube. Haven't watched it yet, but Andrew Neil said it is interesting in the light of what we now know about Savile.

www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/dec/19/pollard-report-george-entwistle-jimmy-savile

This is the real story. They knew, if a trainee knew and saw things then they knew and did not do anything.

Entwistle, who resigned from the BBC with a £450,000 payoff last month after just 54 days in the job, was told in an email from the corporation's then head of events Nick Vaughan-Barratt in May 2010, nearly 18 months before Savile died, that he had worked with the TV and radio presenter and saw "the real truth" and would feel uneasy about making a tribute to him.

Vaughan-Barratt told Entwistle in the email in May 2010: "We have no obit and I am not sure we would want one ... My first job in TV was on a JS show, I saw the complex and sometimes conflicting nature of the man at first hand ... I'd feel v queasy about an obit. I saw the real truth!!!"

When interviewed by Pollard last month Vaughan-Barratt explained that by "dark side" he meant: "We haven't got an obit for him. I don't think we should make one. The guy is pretty complex and difficult and there is a dark side."

Vaughan-Barratt told Pollard that he was not aware of specific allegations of child sex abuse by Savile until late 2012.

Yes, claig's link to the Savile interview is worth watching - he is asked some quite searching questions and almost immediately is very defensive.

Does anyone know who everyone is in that photo.

Lockedout434 · 21/12/2012 05:41

You know he death thing of 5 days with his dead mother . Wasn't that just a wake. He explains it that she was laid out at his sisters house.
Which people did and still do now.

AnyaKnowIt · 22/12/2012 12:51

After much soul-searching, she has concluded that it would serve Savile?s memory better to ?set the record straight? rather than allow unkind rumour to tarnish his memory.

Unkind rumours? Oh do fuck off Angry

The bbc glossed over rumours.
That ain't no gloss more like whitewash
Why did mitchell take it off the risk register?

Lockedout434 · 23/12/2012 12:49

Also within monthly meetings you question why things come off the risk register as you want to know how they wre resolved and if the risk has been passed or if actions have been taken to mitigate the risk.

What a wonderful place the Internet is . I thought I had a connection but Mitchell worked for a different paper than lesley tither and he was in London at the bbc in 1978.

Lesley relayed the immediate disgust she had felt to her colleagues at the newspaper.

?I think my first words to my colleagues were: ?Jim?ll grope it?. Whenever he has come up in conversation over the years, I have always voiced my misgivings. I just can?t believe it has taken so long for him to be exposed

So why didn't she run the story. Or give it to her mates

Why didn't she run a story about the interview and say he was a letch .
Why why why why why.

Lockedout434 · 24/12/2012 04:23

This from the sun . A few really horrid comments.

paul Daniels wrote about his risky 1970s encounter hours after Savile?s ex-BBC producer Ted Beston was arrested on Wednesday by police on the Operation Yewtree sex abuse inquiry.
The illusionist said he was shocked 76-year-old Beston was being held ? and went on to tell how the showbiz world of the ?70s had been plagued by teenage ?groupies.?

ffs - if it was 'impossible to know' if they were of age then you should have played safe and left them alone. are we really to feel sorry for these poor, poor men who are being expected to check birth certificates? if someone looks young enough to possibly be under 16 leave her the fuck alone.

simple. surely?

swallowedAfly · 24/12/2012 06:59

the sad thing is that even when these people are trying to portray themselves in a positive, innocent light they don't realise the utter misogyny and letcherous yukness they're exuding. which goes to show how deep that letchy, girls-are-things-to-fuck attitude runs.

Lockedout434 · 24/12/2012 08:47

It's always the women's fault though isnt it.
Amazing how he can process it in his mind that he had a narrow escape as it was her fault for nearly trapping him .

swallowedAfly · 24/12/2012 09:06

yep - he gave a lift to a child who was upset and his response was oooh goodie i'm in for some fun. and that was morally absolutely fine apparently - the only concern was it turning out she was young enough for him to be at risk of legal problems.

he clearly felt no shame or concern at his attitude to her only self concern that he could get in trouble.

these men just keep digging.

swallowedAfly · 24/12/2012 09:07

but presumably they feel free to say this because they assume that is normal, what all men are like and how all men see young girls. they assume that IS what girls are for and no empathy, compassion or maturity is expected from a male when it comes to girls. fucked up.
