wtf @ this:
A former nurse at the Leeds hospital where Savile worked as a porter, said he molested a brain-damaged hospital patient. June Thornton was recovering from an operation at Leeds General Infirmary when she says she saw Savile abuse the young girl."She had brain damage, and Jimmy Savile came in and kissed her," she told Sky News."He started kissing her neck, running his hands up and down her arms, and then started to molest her. Because I was laid flat on my back, there was nothing I could do."
"She had brain damage, and Jimmy Savile came in and kissed her," she told Sky News.
"He started kissing her neck, running his hands up and down her arms, and then started to molest her. Because I was laid flat on my back, there was nothing I could do."

Safe to publish this now, ..
"Honestly, there's so much happening in the news it's very hard to keep track of things. Like, there's been serious allegations in the news of child abuse in Cleveland. Serious allegations of child abuse in Cleveland. And to my mind there's only one way of finding out whether it's true or not. And that is to call in Jimmy Savile. You can't afford to f*ck about, bring in an expert. Am I right? I mean, a friend of mine reckons Jimmy Savile is a paedophile. Rubbish. He's a child bender. That's why he does all the f*cking charity work, it's to gain public sympathy for when his case comes up. Aye, I've always known that. He might've fooled you, but not f*cking me I'll tell you that. He's not fooling this big-nosed Jewish b*stard, I'll tell you that. I've always thought that if you took the action of a w*nk and turned it into a voice you'd get Jimmy Savile wouldn't you. Now then, now then... lovely, lovely... oh, now then now then, oh, lovely... lovely... ooh..."

A truly unselfish individual who did such a lot during his lifetime, and now this after he has gone. He truly was an inspirational man a true legend. RIP Jimmy Saville xxxx- Jenny McCabe , Newport,Shrops, 31/7/2012 12:46Click to rate Rating 78

a few months ago - about a week before that Mail article I think - I went to a wedding in Cornwall w/ my family and afterwards stopped off at a family friend's house who I'd not seen for probably over ten years. while we were chatting this younger crusty looking acquaintance of hers comes in and tells us about how he'd just won this bus on eBay for something like £7,000, which turned out to have previously been a mobile hospital which was part of some sort of Jimmy Savile charitable scheme. the bus had some winsome punny name which I would have noted on my phone except it had conked out looking for a signal because Cornwall abhors communication, and now I'm kicking myself bcs I can't find shit about this on google. anyway whatever happened on that bus in the past it is probably currently sitting in a back yard somewhere and smelling of weed.

Dear Jan Moir, have you not fucked off yet, you snivelling excuse for a human being?
P.S. it is easy to understand why those whowere molested by Savile are now comingforward to speak out. One understands howthe domino effect of others gives courage,how there is comfort in a crowd.I have less sympathy with celebrities such asSandi Toksvig and Liz Kershaw, now loudlyclaiming long-ago molestations and abuse atthe BBC. Hardly shrinking violets, they didnothing about it at the time and still do notname their tormentors. What’s the point?

I got the impression from that article it wasn't an established soap star but a tv star who appeared in one. Suggesting a short stint or perhaps even a cameo.

All the soaps have had famous 70s tv stars or pop stars in them. Almost all of them will be libelled until the truth comes out.
