Do you honestly think a high profile Royal would knowingly asscociate with a pedo considering he would have had a Government security detail with him at all times?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jimmy Saville says hello from beyond the grave.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you think Saville would have been Knighted if the palace knew he was a pedo?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Suspicion and look the other way ignorance was rife before it became public knowledge.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He was knighted in 1990, the first time I heard rumours was probably 6/7 years later and that was off someone who had once worked with him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So no vetting?
I suppose they just give these knighthood thingies out willy-nilly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Obviously there was vetting.

Go on, tell me you knew Saville was a sicko in 2001.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh yeah and whoever did the vetting wasn't very good at their job.

There were complaints of sexual abuse from Saville back in the 1970s. Same with Rolf Harris, who was commissioned to paint the Queen's 80th birthday portrait in 2005.

It's been stated several times by people that were around Saville at the time he was active that it was well known. Just because you personally only heard rumours after 1990 doesn't mean it wasn't known in other circles.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything is known in certain circles, doesn't mean everyone knows everything about every person.

Go on tell me you were shocked and didn't think 'yeah that fits' when it all came out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I said previously that I learned about it before it was widely known and yes, I was surprised.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You're probably in a minority there. Did you question the claims of abused children then like you did Guiffre's claim of abuse at age 7?

There's a fvkin video of John Lydon doing an interview from 1978 on youtube accusing him. After which Lydon was banned from BBC and apparently still is.
-----------------------------------------------------
When did you first see that video, when it was first broadcast?

I would think/hope whoever does the vetting for prospective Knights of the Realm would be competent enough to find out what seems to have been quite well known by his colleagues.

I'd think security services are/should be better placed than some random jerk like you or me.

Of course it doesn't mean that. Security services should pick stuff like that up when doing vetting. Your last statement though basically means that unless you were working for security services or directly with Saville; when you first heard is completely irrelevant to whether they knew or not.

Where was it between 1978 and 2015? Fvk man the much touted British security services blew it or were aware and covered it up. Certainly BBC covered it up. Don't you see this as amassive failure on their part? After all, you do agree he was vetted so what went wrong?

It doesn't matter, the point is people were aware of it as far back as 78. If John Lydon was aware of it there's no reason the security services weren't. On balance it's difficult to take a view that a blind eye wasn't turned to it.

Official complaints were made about him to hospitals at the time of abuse. I'm sure that was picked up in any vetting, it was just ignored.

The vetting went very much wrong, obviously.

I would be very interested to learn what was actually known and what was convieniently ignored.

Johnny Rotten knows more than (Who actually is responsible for vetting?) MI5?6? The Met? Dixon of Dock Green? Keystone Kops?

It must have been incredibly difficult for the victims to see him knighted. To know not only had he carried out abuse on them but had been given status by the Monarchy as a license to continue.

I can't get my head around it.

Well if whoever did the vetting just phoned the BBC and asked for a character reference then it was incompetence on behalf of the former and a cover-up on behalf of the latter.

And your king had a close relationship with him since the 70s. I feel dirty reading about Savile and people who covered for him.

I doubt vetting would involve a quick phone call to the BBC. Or at least it shouldn't. Wouldn't they have requested info on any complaints made to.the BBC, personnel info etc.
