Where I used to work there was an employee who worked in procurement. He was rumoured to be passing jobs to certain companies in return for a cut. The rumours had gone around for some time and if he were ever caught someone might reasonably ask why I did nothing about it. However I never saw anything untoward in his conduct towards suppliers, he didn't live extravagantly or have any surprising expensive possessions. So I can understand why Savile got away with it for so long, a lot of people would have heard the rumours but wouldn't have any/enough proof. Savile also appeared to have aggressive lawyers, if you don't have evidence it would be slander and you'd lose money. Not surprising people kept quiet.

Wahoo Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 9 hours ago, The Masked Tulip said: Heath was obviously gay and his boating trips used as opportunity to go sh*gging offshore and around the Med. Does that make him a paedophile? In the eyes of many people back in the 60's and 70's being gay also meant that you were a kiddie fiddler. Agreed They should just piss off and leave him alone. It's a pointless witch hunt. ....and he's not around to defend himself. He was probably just asexual....not interested...and devoted his life to public service.

Could be possible. Perhaps it was MIke Yarwood pretending to be Heath...? Maybe Yarwood could even have been the true "Savile"...? EDIT: Mods, please don't get your knickers in a twist, I am not serious about Mile Yarwood - his impressions weren't good enough to fool anyone. I was a school-kid at he time, and he always sounded like Mike Yarwood to me...!

There is no tetsing of this "compelling" evidence in a court; just one man's opinion and the revelation that Heath had a car and could drive himself, if badly. I can't stand the bloke as he took us into the EU with lies and sold out our fishing industry to do so; but that doesn't mean I will believe absolutely anything about him. The damage is now done. Good man. I would feel dreadful if I knew that I was personally part-funding head liar Jon Sopel's salary so they get no money off me either. And you're a good man too. I only catch the odd sports report on the BBC world service; the other day I heard one correspondent complaining about swingeing cuts to the BBC. I felt a little better on hearing that. It's their arrogance I hate the most. Someone like Gary Lineker embodies the arrogance of the BBC - a virtue signaller who talks down to the little people.

Quote [A lawyer] whose law firm represents people who have been sexually harassed in the US and UK, called for a mandatory national system to tackle sexual harassment by staff based on the Human Rights Act and the Equality Act to replace “the current hodgepodge of systems”. She said: “There must be a ban on any sexual contact between university staff and all undergraduates, and between staff and graduates in the same field. The penalty for violating the no-contact rule should be swift termination with a public statement and a mandated report to a central UK registry.” Fair enough, don't harass the students. This seems a bit over the top though: after all, everyone concerned is an adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems a bit over the top though: after all, everyone concerned is an adult. The level of complaints shown by the FOI's in this article were astonishingly low, it seems to be safer for young women to be at university than anywhere else. This is a typical case of SJW's looking for a cause, failing and still making out there is a problem. Our university has one allegation against academic and academic related staff (thousands of staff) about every 2-3 years. Having said that, I was involved in the case of a colleague who was accused and the whole thing was most unpleasant, not least because of the arrogance of the guy accused. The university did its best to pay off the student and keep it quiet, but unofficially, the guy's career is over as far any progression is concerned. the general reaction of most staff to the goings on were just annoyed that the guy would even meet alone with the student who clearly had some mental issues.

There's a set police budget so this will have a material effect upon police response times if you live in London.

The majority of the spend will be on manpower, which is there anyway, and on offices, which are there anyway -- the actual 'money that has been spent that wouldn't have been' is likely much much lower. The impact of the investigation will rather be on resources which wouldn't be available to work on other projects during that time. I'd have thought this wouldn't touch police response times, but only the ability to resource larger cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgul Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 This is the sort of thing that worries me. It is absolutely the way you'd make the inquiry go away if you wanted it to -- identify a diverse group of people who are old, distributed and far away, then equate the problem with them. They've done quite well, IMO, with this group* -- they've also managed to get a group where there isn't an actual perpetrator, other than "An unknown but clearly large number of these children were subjected to horrific assaults sometimes before, sometimes during but in the main after they left the UK." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40669699 I think they should be interested in abuse that has happened in the time of enlightenment. I know that there was terrible abuse that happened in Victorian slums, or during wars or whatever. But we like to think that we're living in better times, which might as well be defined as starting in about the 70s. Any abuse that has happened since then will clearly have been known to have been very very wrong by the perpetrator. Before that is much much more complicated. But, anyway, this stuff that happened in the 1920s-50s is now very much the worst thing ever, so clearly (although not stated explicitly) everything since 1970 has been lovely (apart from Saville and that Gadd cad). [* not to condone the situation, but IMO this wasn't the type of problem that the child abuse inquiry was set up to explore] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habeas Domus Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 A couple of opposing views on Woody Allen: A dissection of Woody Allen’s speech at the American Film Institute tribute to Diane Keaton in June, by The Cut. An excerpt from the recent Eric Lax book “Start to Finish” where his son Moses is given an opportunity to share his memories of life under the Farrow roof. I don't really know who to believe, it's a complicated mess, it is possible to believe in Woody Allen’s innocence without branding Dylan Farrow a liar. It is also possible that he's a huge misogynist without being a full blown child abuser. He really did not do himself any favours with that Diane Keaton speech though.
