Anyway back from rumour control it's clear there have been stories circulating about jimmy saville for years, the main story for me isn't what did or didn't happen but rather did the BBC kill a previous enquiry and if so who and why decided to do that.

Didn't the first proper policeman on the scene wade straight in and fish him out, tbh if I ever found myself in that situation I'd hope I do the same as him, not sure I could live with myself or look at my own children if I'd done nothing.
