The whole Jimmy saville thing was insane, he had the keys to mental hospitals. The BBC chauffeured him about, very much like they picked up schoolgirls from school for Russell brand to be brought back to his flat.

Saville was great friends with the royals and thatchers government, you'd think the secret services would have known what he was up to... Thatchers home secretary Leon Britton was accused around the same time a lot of others were found out, but Theresa May's government shut that down.

Reading this back, I'm thinking I can't post this it's sounds nuts. Maybe that's how these fuckers get away with it...

Hadn't heard about Pesci, probably playing on his Italian gangster fame, what a twat.

Is this what happened with Russell Brand? I just heard he was a sexual predator, not that it was schoolgirls. It's insane that the BBC didn't get any wiser after Saville. It should be easy: don't hire known pervs and definitely don't let them use your stuff to abuse children.

The age of consent is 16 in the UK, Saville was also a necrophiliac, and that access to hospitals was used for that, so maybe the BBC seen this as pretty tame...
