Jimmy Saville is still alive...

Well, apparently it was Edwina Currie who gave him the keys to that particular kingdom. In a statement she insinuated that people connected with the hospital who objected to Savile's actions had to deal with him blackmailing them with *their* dirty laundry.

...what, like having an affair with John Major?

Wonder how he found that piece of useful info?

btw, wonder what Thatch and Sav talked about on Christmas meetings?

they debated whether it was better to literally or figuratively fuck poor children

btw, wonder what Thatch and Sav talked about on Christmas meetings?

.. how to fuck up as many people as possible.

xpost ..

how to fuck

the decline in quality of the goodie bags at satan's christmas party

Freddie's been busted

Somehow I saw an interview with him on This Morning (Phil doing his 'serious matters' face) and he kept going on about how he ~WANTED~ the police to investigate. Just to get it cleared up!

Cameron helping out anyone struggling with twitter searches by pointing out that people on the list are gay.

Can't play that youtube file right now but the name I've heard isn't (openly) gay

Schofield hands Cameron a list, Cameron looks at it and says something like "We don't want to turn this into a witch hunt of people who are gay."

Fearne definitely didn't sign up for this kinda thing when she got the This Morning gig i bet.

That's Holly but easy mistake to make

I've seen four names bandied about, one of whom is openly gay, one is very guarded about his sexuality, two are not openly gay at all. The main name I've seen falls into the last category.

They should do a This Morning / Surprise Surprise crossover.

thatcher wasn't gay

Phil S does not mention anyone in that clip.

Read in the Guardian yesterday that Savile was apparently interviewed as a possible suspect in the Yorkshire Ripper investigation after an anonymous tip-off.

That Paul Gambaccini really had it in for him

The telegraph has it he 'reveals' in passing the list to DC, but it's not possible to read it, certainly not on youtube and I doubt even on freeze-frame on a HD tele.

Unless you are Jim Phelps, of course.

xp ah yeah sorry Holly. gotcha.

I can't believe this, but I'm actually agreeing with Cameron about something...

"There is a danger, if we're not careful, that this could turn into a sort of witch-hunt, particularly against people who are gay and I'm worried about the sort of thing you are doing right now - giving me a list of names that you've taken off the internet."

Who watches This Morning anyway? It never recovered after Richard and Judy stopped presenting it.

yeah cameron otm. amazingly.

While there may be some truth in what he said, it does seem a bit disingenuous and maybe a bit of a smokescreen especially with regard to the main name that I've seen journalists and other seemingly in-the-know types tweet about.

That Paul Gambaccini really had it in for him

At a Status Quo press conference Gambo hosted on the same day he broke silence on the whole Saville thing, he called on a white-haired rock journalist I know with the words "Yes, you, the one who looks like Jimmy Saville".

It was a strange version of "All the young dudes" for sure...

"All the young guys and gals"

"All the young dudes,
Jim has fixed it for you-oooou"

Too good/bad to be true, but y'know...

horrible story from creepy ex-radio 2 dj ed 'stewpot' stewart's autobiography but the pay-off is 10/10:

‘I walked up and down the Reeperbahn [Hamburg’s red-light district], ogling the girls in the windows, until I saw a blonde I really liked the look of.

‘With my bundle of marks in a rather sweaty palm, I went through the door and into the boudoir of Tamara, hoping that we weren’t going to be performing in the window as well.

‘It was all over in minutes — she hardly drew breath. “Tamara never comes,” I thought idly as I was ushered out of the door, off to the airport and home to England.’

rieperbahn was the least sexy place i've ever been.

the sex industry in general is disgusting, don't get how anyone could get off on it.

I'm annoyed with myself for giggling at that punchline.

allowed.

George Entwistle resigns as BBC director general

Next DG is going to put up a huge fucking firewall between the corp and news. They'll install an editor-in-chief, for a start.

i sort of imagined "head of news" helen boaden would be editor in chief, guess not?

anyway, so long george "light touch" entwistle, we hardly knew ye
