Jimmy Saville is still alive...

His barrister Crispin Aylett, in mitigation, told the court the former broadcaster had "all of 13" victims compared to Jimmy Savile's 1,300.

"Please bear in mind m'lud that my client only killed three people and Hitler killed six million..."

Ian Brady said something very similar, just now.

also "over a quarter of a century ago" as if we should all just forget about it. this barrister crispin aylett sounds like a seriously unpleasant piece of shit

on same note, im surprised and gladdened that he's been brought to justice for this, esp considering the conviction rate for a) sex crimes and b) so long after the fact. good in loads of ways, warning sign to any current toerags and endless sleepless nights for all the scumbags of yesteryear

i never really made up my mind re: the whole pinochet thing: 'should a knackered old man be put to trial', but the savile thing put me firmly on the 'hound those fuckers on their deathbed if need be' camp

15 months??????????? fucking hell

Apparently it is real, was published in 1985

Recently republished under the title "Watch out for the pedo on the cover of this book, oh wait never mind he's dead...".

Impressively creepy profile of Savile from 2010:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1329332/Jimmy-Savile-Prince-Charles-saucy-French-maids.html

Now, he spends up to three weeks each month wandering hospital wards, flirting outrageously with delighted patients and perching on the edge of their beds, asking:
‘Have you got any clothes on? Could you move over a bit, darling?’

god blass you jimmy, you are a legend

`The country would be a much better place full of Jim ul fix its. Great character

Like I know this is obvious but Mail readers (or maybe just commenters) (nah, readers) are such shockingly awful judges of character.

Now steady on there, he might have loved abusing kiddies but at least he didn't hate Britain.

or Thatcher

waiting for the smoking gun that connects her to all of this like a david peace novel or smthng

The Alderman Roberts connection, Perhaps. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/thatchers-dad-mayor-preacher-groper-1257249.html

lol just remembering last autumn when the Savile revelations were coming out, and journos were all 'yeah all the papers knew we just couldn't publish it'. But still cool to publish fawning stories about a guy they know to be a serial sexual predator of children.

The MO for covering people like that, as far as I am aware, is to mention whatever it is they're trying to hide in the most glowing of terms, laying it on as thickly as possible, in the hopes of getting enough of a rise out of the subject that their lawyer can't really help them...

The interview at the end of this has to be seen to be believed.

"I'm feared in every girl's school in Britain"

8:22 is where it goes down. he's like an object lesson in hiding in plain sight.

yer man on the panel there seems to say something like "it's a Spitting Image nightmare". Spitting Image back in the 80s was the only show i recall ever actually having a pop at him, constantly having the puppet Jimmy refer to himself as "You sad man".

Who are the Fraiser Crane and Johnny Vaughan lookalikes on the panel?

I sort of recognise the JV lookalike but I forget who he is.

Andrew O'Connor

FC lookalike is James Whale
