Just clearing out the house and found my old "Jim Fixed it For Me" badge from 1989 when I had to guess the weight of 2 snooker balls in a leather pouch whilst blind folded. ??.

Have a look at the TV film “ The Reckoning” about Jimmy Savile, incredible performance from Steve Coogan mate. Your friend Maggie Thatcher tried 4 times to get him knighted and succeeded on the fifth attempt!

Stokey yep and your mates in the West Yorkshire police were in his pocket, and your mate kier starmer could have had him nicked and sat on his hands, you got selective memory syndrome,

Stevie, I have no mates in the West Yorkshire Force and nothing but contempt for all the current political class include Kier Starmer.
As for Savile it’s easy to make assumptions as to his guilt whilst he was alive but, as they say, with hindsight you get 20 20 vision. His depravity only came to light after his death as a result of a TV documentary ( the dead can’t sue for damages for defamation so ITV were pretty safe) which resulted in victims belatedly coming forward. The few that came forward during his lifetime didn’t provide sufficient believable evidence. You can’t put people in prison on rumours and hearsay.
Of course, the Police could have publicised his arrest as they did with Cliff Richard in the hope of bringing out the hundreds of victims. But it didn’t work with Cliff who, quite reasonably, sued the BBC and the Police because there was unreliable or zilch evidence hence no charges and no convictions.
Lots of people were conned by Savile including at least 2 Prime Ministers, NHS and Charity leaders, the BBC etc. Even the Royal Marines gave him an honorary green beret.
I once rang past him on the Great North Run. If I’d known then what I know now I’d have legged him up and given him a good shoe ing ….
