Some papers have had costs of over a million for libel cases against pop stars for nothing as serious as child abuse.
We know that some former police officers have said they were told to drop the case over looking into Savile. There are truly shocking allegations about Savile and Haut de la Garenne.
We know that MPs can name people using parliamentary privilege. There are ways and means to bring something to the public's attention. And if someone had done so, I expect that Savile would not have taken them to court for libel because all sorts of witnesses would have had to be called and would have had to testify on oath ane then we would have found out who knew what. And that is why it was not allowed to happen, and why some police officers were told to drop it - because it would have shaken the establishment.
And if that would have happened, then we would not have had to wait until Savile was dead and for a whole year after his death during which the Queen's Jubilee and the Olympics took place, before it came out into the open and public attention.
Here is another case
