Seems like its been injunction'd and won't be broadcast. Of course twitter and the Internet are full of rumours who it is. Twitter especially might want to alter their site not offer up suggestions on what you were meaning to search for.

Claims that Jimmy Savile was regularly handed a key to a Leeds hospital building when he arrived with teenage girls have been disputed by officials.Ex-hospital porter Terry Pratt said Savile would arrive at Leeds General Infirmary in the early hours and take the girls to the nurses' accommodation.

Quote:

In a statement, the trust said: "We have investigated his claims today with other staff who were around at Leeds General Infirmary at the time and we believe he is mistaken in his comments. "Mr Pratt appears to have been talking about a period in the 1980s before he started work at the hospital in 1990 and not from first-hand knowledge."

So another case of hearsay? Have some of the media been a bit quick to publish and not check their facts?Again?

Grim reading.

However I do take exception to this..

Quote:

If the Savile story â€“ and the stories that constitute a hinterland at the BBC â€“ turn out to involve a great conspiracy, it will be a conspiracy that the whole country had a part in. There will always be a certain amount of embarrassment about Savile, not because we didnâ€™t know but because we did.

I didn't know any of it..and I'm pretty sure the majority of the British public DIDN'T know.Hindsight is a wonderful place.

Sorry to keep saying this but the Scout & Guid Association knew of a problem With Savile back in the early 80s so why was it that the police and BBC never acted when allegations were put forward? I find that quite strange and can't be called hindsight a lot of people knew it was going on.

The abuse suffered by the children in that Welsh home just went on and on just like some children from the Catholic homes and Dr Barnardo's and only now are they being believed. That was not hindsight that was people above finding no case to answer.

I've just seen a site which claims to name the politicians involved in this. Obviously I'm not saying who they are or the site I found them on but if it's true (and I suspect it's not) then the whole Jimmy Savile angle of this affair will be greatly dwarfed.

Probably the same site that "This Morning" printed a list of names off to hand to Cameron during his interview today .Cameron didn't even look at the paper and rightly so ,it was a stupid and irresponsible thing to do by Schofield

Quote:

During the live interview, the presenter handed the PM a card with a list of names on it, saying that they were people Mr Cameron knew and asking whether he would be talking to them.
Mr Cameron, who did not look at the names, replied with a warning: "There is a danger, if we're not careful, that this could turn into a sort of witch-hunt, particularly against people who are gay and I'm worried about the sort of thing you are doing right now - giving me a list of names that you've taken off the internet."

Not connected to the stuff with JS.

Jimmy Savile's former chauffeur and a second man have been arrested over historic rape allegations not connected to the Savile inquiry.

I think Dave making the connection with this and gay politicians means that he won't be looking into it as much as he'd have us believe.

Well they DIDN'T tell me..So I refuse to be accused of being an accomplice in the matter or of being equally guilty along with those who did know which what my point was..I DID NOT KNOW AND I NEVER HEARD A WORD ABOUT SAVILE IN ALL THAT TIME.

The vast majority of the country had no idea and to insist they did is rubbish.I read nothing about it in any newspapers and heard nothing in the media about it until the ITV programme.

The rats NOW coming out of the corners swearing that they heard this and that why the feck did they say nothing until now?Those are the guilty parties.I'll tell you why.They had no definitive hard evidence.It's going to be interesting to see just what hard real evidence the police turn up after all this time that doesn't turn out to be hearsay.

Are we still on this? You can't go accusing someone of being a child abuser based on a rumour. Clearly some people had heard rumours but they were dismissed as being born of the fact he was an eccentric. The questions on who knew what and when will hopefully be uncovered but we have to stop this over the top obsession with vilifying those who did nothing after hearing gossip.

I'm just on about those who instead of shutting up and speaking to the police insist on going into print both in the papers and online.
