— Ace I think maybe Roger Simon finished his play too quickly -- seems like he could have added another chapter.
The late BBC entertainer Jimmy Savile is a suspect in 199 crimes recorded so far, including dozens of cases of rape, British police said Wednesday. They described the level of sexual abuse allegations against Savile as "unprecedented in the U.K."The accusations against Savile, who died last year at age 84, grew after five women said during a TV program broadcast in October that they had been sexually abused by the presenter. The claims triggered a scandal that rocked the BBC, which has been accused of failing to report allegations against Savile while making shows praising him.
Number of rapes alleged: 31. Note the "alleged," of course. It should be noted that we have seen Accusation Panics before.
I don't think we're seeing it here.
Jimmy Savile was a big-time BBC fixture. Why of course he has a certain license to rape. First night and all that.

From the Life Disturbingly Imitates Art collection, the BBC is going to run a special on adults who insist on dressing and acting like babies. Maybe the Jedi religion thing is a high point.
Thats the most annoying thing about marxist moral relativism. The inabilty to call something the most stupid idea youve ever heard of. Instead, its treated like a medical condition. Wear some goddamn pants and take the fucking passy out of your mouth.

Savile used the title and was given an office in the grounds of the hospital, a bedroom, which he called his "cell", and his own set of keys to the wards.
And this raised no red flags for anyone anywhere?
I mean, doesn't that seem just a trifle out of the ordinary?

Not much of a red flag there, right?
Hospitals and medical orgs in the US have also been known to cover up allegations of child abuse.
Boston's Children's Hospital took no action regarding the numerous allegations against Dr. Mel Levine, one of Oprah's favorites. When the heat finally became too much for him there, he relocated to NC. When he was served by a complaint on behalf of dozens of John Does, he committed suicide. For years, the parents' complaints against him had been ignored.
Same with Dr. Earl Bradley of Lewes DE. Complaints against him were filed by nurses who worked for him and even one of his relatives. Medical boards ignored them. He was eventually charged with 103 counts of child sex abuse. He had videotaped most of his crimes.

My friend kicked the door in on Howard Cosell, flat on his back holding a pane of glass over his face and the girl was taking a dump on it.
The precinct guys got a lot of free tickets to a lot of games in exchange for letting that one slide.

They do worse. They enable them until they are caught then do their level best to make sure no meaningful punishment is meted out. They make the Catholic Churches transgressions look positively benign.
>>> Hell, there's discussion out there now that there's pretty much an upscale prostitution ring involving B list TV and movie actors and actresses.

Heh.
I was in the West Village with a buddy last spring, and we were accosted by a bum who wouldn't take no for an answer. He started cursing and muttering at me with rather racist words, so I cheerfully responded.
Apparently there is a double standard.

He was a pediatrician. His youngest victim was six months old. He would take the children out of his office to this little cottage out back where he was going to give them candy. That's what he told the parents. And then he took them to the place and molested them while videotaping.
One little girl almost suffocated to death from having his degenerate cock in her little mouth. She kept slapping at his thigh until she passed out. At which point he resuscitated her.
He was a doctor, after all.
Imagine what heinous acts Saville committed on persons whose accusations no one would ever believe - psych patients.

It's not a secret.
Go to the celebrity news website of your choice.
Find paparazzi shots of actresses on expensive boats or foreign beaches with unnamed/unphotographed dudes or rich guys you don't recognize by sight, stories where actresses who don't have millions of dollars make cross-country shopping trips, stories of actresses doing "DJ" gigs or club openings...
You get the gist.
That's your list, +/- a few.

Speculation on which Brit celebrities are in on the "action", so to speak?
My nomination is Stephen Fry. Strictly because of the interview he gave for the Blackadder DVDs at his vacation home in Africa. They went to great pains to show him getting a foot massage from his young African servant. The look on the servant's face is NOT one of pleasure in his job. EXTREMELY creepy.
