So, Starmer didn’t “not prosecute” Savile; he just didn’t prosecute Savile.

Ant didn't prosecute Savile either, and nor did I. Did you?
We need to know the answers to just exactly didn't prosecute Savile, I bet there's a whole world full of people guilty of that one.

I'd guess there's more to this than is printed, but I'm not that fussed. When I first read of this this morning the BBC site only had a picture of the top half of the statue, there's a conspiracy in the making.

Of course the full story is a bit less interesting for those determined to be offended by someone being offended.

I found Savile and Rolf Harris repulsive at first (TV)sight, around 1963.

That’s the extent of my paedo-dar though. I quite liked Gary Glitter!

There was an interview a few months ago with the Police officer who headed up Yewtree, he said that there is someone out there who is implicated but essentially untouchable (unlike the victims). A person so close to the hearts of the public that only when dead would their misdeeds have any chance of become known, even then it's likely that the cover up will continue.
