I think it'll probably be tricky to take away his knighthood. Still I think it's good this is coming to light. True, as some have argued it's not going to change anything, since he's dead anyway, but I think it's important we understand how he got away with it. Plus there should probably be consequences for certain people within the BBC if it can be shown they did not act upon credible evidence they did have.
All of that is presuming the allegations are true, but with what's been coming out over the last couple of days, it's not looking good for 'Sir Jimmy'.
