If you have no evidence then perpetuating a rumour that could see someone get in a lot of trouble unnecessarily is pretty crass in itself really.

As previously explained, it is only a rumour. As previously stated, I am not spreading rumours about this individual for him to get into unnecessary trouble.

As previously explained, the first underage girl that he now lives with is now over the age of consent. The police have spoken to him about this, but no action was taken due to lack of evidence.
The current underage girl is merely a rumour. The police would not be interested and, as I said earlier, there is no legal requirement for one to report a crime, be it real or perceived.

Also, bear in mind that Jimmy, by his own admission, had friends in high places, and I suspect, would not have hesitated to use them.

Two of the truest sayings I know of are "It's not what you know, it's who you know" and "There's more than one way to skin a cat".

Very, very true.

In bold print was: because Britain's libel laws too often help make those like Savile untouchable.
The artical may be in your opinion poorly written pointless piece of drivel but Brian Hitchen writes for a living. I just love the word succinct :D

Libel laws are a good thing, I have used them to deal with people in the past.
Without them, we'd have people going around spouting rubbish and/or saying whatever they felt like!!!
I like the word succinct too :D |
