Like I say, I don't want to go off tangent. The JS rumours were known at the Beeb, if you want to believe that my dad's wife knew people who worked there (even in Scotland) who joked about his true nature decades ago - whether people genuinely did know and had proof he was a criminal is another thing. Jerry Sadowitz, Popbitch and b3ta infamously called him a pedalo and necrophiliac when Savile was alive. It was 'workplace banter' but most celebrities have weird rumours circling around them and those lower down in the workplace pecking order treated it as that. I know when I heard Sadowitz I assumed it was too implausible to be true.I would agree, but then there is Savile
Whether the RL knew and actively encouraged Savile is getting a bit too CT for me and CTs like to lord it over people with their 'superior knowledge' bordering on paranoia, so I won't go there.
