Jimmy Saville is still alive...

This photo was taken 18 years ago, he might have got rid of the beard by now. Also Saville probably not breaking the law.

Grim Gordon Brown has put his foot down and said that Sutcliffe will never be released.

Great! We can ignore all expert opinions, stop hiring doctors and professionals and allow the tabloids to dictate Government policy. The same tabloids who pay 13-year-old criminals, put them on their front pages and encourage others to do the same.

Which "13-year-old criminals"?

ALL OF THEM!!!

After chatting to Ronnie, Big Frank spotted the Yorkshire Ripper leaning back on a window ledge.

Damn, Broadmoor was one long party back in the 90s.

the romance of the prison system

the horror of realising that '18 years ago' is now 1991

Why do all the posters on The Sun HYS think that Sutcliffe has never stood trial? Very odd.

I've gotta rep for the Ripper keeping his trademark hair and beard all these years, instead of shaving and getting a bit of an easier life maybe.

Beard hides scars from when he was attacked in Parkhurst.

Great bit of publicity there for Capital Gold.

Sutcliffe is travelling through time on a magical island!

He was on the 1976 TOTP last week introducing Eddie and the Hot Rods, insisting that they should go to number one. Bless him, for once!

Is Jimmy Hill still alive?????

That's a chin scratcher.

When Saville does go I'm sure he'll be happy where he ends up. I've heard he loves the dead.

JH xD.

well.. supposedly not now.

"But Gary has not sold 'em, has not tried to sell 'em, not tried to show them in public or anything like that. It were for his own gratification. "Whether it was right or wrong is, of course, it's up to him as a person. But they didn't do anything wrong but they are then demonised."
"If you said to that copper, what's Gary Glitter done wrong? Well nothing really. He's just sat at home watching dodgy films."

I bet whoever bought his underpants at auction is feeling a bit sick.

Ewww

On the other hand, I don't think these allegations are much of a shock to anyone are they? I mean it *is* shocking that these things are said to have happened how and where they did, but all the same, I don't think anyone would underestimate the man's creepiness.

Good piece by Suzanne Moore on the whole mess surrounding Savile and seventies guys' idea of "fun": http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/oct/03/liking-young-girls-not-preference-perversion

Jesus Christ. No longer sure if this guy was real or if David Peace made him up.

Sorry, that's crass.

Also funny, true

The whole of seventies Britain is now beginning to look like David Peace made it up!

Sorry, that's crass.

no, that's exactly what i've been thinking too.

^ display name is very distracting

Well my phrasing was clumsy at least - he was obviously a very real and dangerous guy.

Anyhow, some of the fallout:

I was a bit surprised at all this because I'd heard that necrophilia rumour for so long - a bit jarring to put him into a different (& more real, hurtful) category of foulness.

I mean, how long ago was that Irvine Welsh story? 1994? 1995?

Jerry OTM ... in 1987! nowthennowthen young Billy.

saw sadowitz in a pub in ealing once, rehearsing his tour, and it was one of the funniest things i’ve seen (partly because it definitely wasn’t for a lot of the people there).

then i went to see pretty much exactly the same show at the royal festival hall (bit weird) and it felt offensive and flat.

possibly worth noting i generally loathe comedy and esp stand up comics (numerous notable exceptions aside)

god how pompous. but i just don’t like the whole stand up comedy thing. every fibre of me resists violently.

agree. there's just something cringe about the whole setup. an audience pays to have someone be funny for them. no wonder so many stand-up comics are assholes. i'm not sure why i don't feel this way about theater. the older i get the more my definition of humor turns to spontaneous riffing among friends.

OTM. Jerry is a magician though! I mean, literally a magician.

You'll like this you cunt, not a lot, but you'll like it! tbf he was a much better magician than Paul Daniels and he's often made me laugh than any comedians do.
