'You've brought shame on us all:' Angry family members target Jimmy Savile's great-niece on Facebook after she speaks out about the star molesting her.

Family members immediately dismiss allegations as lies and make comments such as "“You have brought shame on all the Marsden's by lying, there will be a nice long line of people wanting to smack you. Never again will I think I have a sister.”

Caroline has now made a complaint about the abuse to West Yorkshire Police. She said: “It’s just disgusting. They are the very people I thought I would get support from.

There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Organisation and protests against the excesses of this Conservative government is essential.
