The thing that really struck me about it is looking at the old footage and seeing the change in Savile. By the mid-70s he looks absolutely deranged and that only got worse. Not surprising really as by that point he must have felt completely invincible, having been embraced by the entire establishment.

I’ve seen him before and was very very drunk.
I am glad I didn’t get tickets then.Yup. And this will be the ending of us all I reckon
They offer “grifting media poorfisher” at schools careers evenings now, dear heart!
I watched the Savile thing last night. It is quite terrifying. I know someone who isn’t doing anything like Savile did but who we call the work predator, and he has a strange attitude to relationships and life in general. I couldn’t help but just kept going omg omg that’s like how xxxxx answers questions. Liars. Extreme liars. Damaged liars though.
As an academia herr, I’m already imagining an access course in “Transition to Multiple Platform Grifting”, followed by the inevitable joint-degree in “False Advertising and Anachronism History”. There would of course be PG options in “Advanced Gaslighting” and “Hedge Fund Lesbian Fishing”.

That killed me off too, it's just perfect for Jack. She's probably googling now to see if it might be a real thing.BIB - hooting
One thing I will give the OH credit for, her twittering is somewhat smattered, we get a flurry of them all at once probably when he/ she has gone off for a bite to eat jaunt round theirs to get clean pants and then she quiet again. Keep up the good work pet!
The VBI started ELEVEN WEEKS AGO oh my god. That's nearly 3 months ago?! How have nearly three months of my life passed since then....
Nigella on Saturday Kitchen and I am just not able for her anymore.
That Patreon shout out has killed her off for me.

I don't rate her anymore either.
Difficult one for me, this. Because where do you draw the line?
GSH, JCC, Chuck Berry, Morrissey, James Brown, Mick Jagger, The Who, The Stones etc etc.
If we stop listening to the artists we love based on something they’ve written, then all we’re left with is Celine Dion and KT Tunstall - bland, MOR shite.
I’m progressive, or at least I like to think I am, but I believe in freedom of expression even if I don’t agree with what’s been said. I don’t think I could honestly say I would walk out of a live show of an artist I paid to go and see, or stop listening to albums I bought because I disagree with something they’ve said.
It’s a difficult one.
Yeah and I think it’s a spectrum. Just because someone acts a bit like that doesn’t mean they are a sexual predator. However I reserve the right to assume the worst and not engage with that person in certain ways, and to call out anything they say which I find inappropriate, without being dismissed as “too serious/sensitive/just a joke” etc.
Yeah, Molko is calling himself a Nancy Boy, effectively. I'd still expect radio to censor it if they played it though. Although they are quite inconsistent about that sort of thing, so who knows. See the yearly reeeing about Fairytale of New York.
The greatest response I’ve seen on this topic is Shane McGowan re Fairytale of New York mentioning f****t. He’s just like, we used to say it then, now people don’t say it. Bleep it if you want, I don’t care, things change. Do what you think is best.
Her tweeting is always interesting, pattern wise. Pretending to people she can control it then once she’s on it’s for the absolute most dopamine she can get in one hit. It’s a very real addiction and she would probably be a totally different (and happier) person without it.
Exactly. He still gets paid either way, so he doesn't have any reason to care
On that specific word, I think I'm in a slight minority of the LGBT community who doesn't mind it as much as other words.
I went to Leeds Uni in the late 80's and everyone knew what Savile was up to - it was a standing joke if we were ever near his house. I actually met him a few years later when I was 23. As well as my professional career I ran competitively and there was a series of road events in which I was invited to compete. I got free hotel, small appearance fee etc. - I wasn't that big, you won't know me. Some celebs also took part. At the hotel before one London race Mr Soapy D, my friend and I were sat at a table with Frank Bruno and agent, Gavin from That's Life - honestly I know it sounds like the start of a joke but I'm not making this up! We were eating from the buffet and having great bants with Frank Bruno. Then Savile came, with assistant and sat at the table and talked AT us. He wasn't eating, just performing. The 3 of us were just sniggering behind our hands and he totally killed the mood. After a few minutes someone came and took him away. He was weird, it felt weird and then one of the other athletes pointed out how young looking I was...eek! I always looked younger and was make-up free with blonde hair in ponytail, obviously fit and in running gear.
As we've seen, the whole charity connection and raising money for good causes really does seem to blind people to the obvious or even to asking some really basic questions.

Spare a thought for me, I initially misread it as Hedge Fund Lesbian Fisting and thought the aneurysm was upon us.Hedge Fund Lesbian Fishing
