Savile "was a pretty creepy sort of character".

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/jimmy-savile-was-barred-from-any-involvement-1406241 Jimmy Savile was barred from BBC's Children In Need charity over his behaviour Pudsey bear Ex-BBC governor Sir Roger Jones said he had been uncomfortable about allowing Savile to have any association with the charity. All these people who had suspicions or misgivings about Savile, but did not take any action, because they did not have proof or evidence. Surely, it is the function of the police to collect evidence and proof. By saying and doing nothing, this pervert got away with it for decades. As someone once said, "In order for evil to flourish, all that is required is for good men to do nothing."

Savile and others

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/oct/28/jimmy-savile-police-investigation-grew Bit by bit the breathtaking scale of the suspected sexual abuse involving Jimmy Savile and possibly others is becoming clear to officers working on Operation Yewtree. Jimmy Saville Gary Glitter is arrested "Operation Yewtree became a criminal investigation when police suspected people still alive might have been involved in abuse" At least 4 police forces dismissed allegations at the time due to "insufficient evidence". These decisions should be investigated also.

Jersey abuse inquiry may start in 2013.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-20111866 An inquiry into historical child abuse in Jersey should be up and running next year, according to the chief minister. Senator Ian Gorst Senator Ian Le Marquand: The  inquiry must be conducted by an independent outside body, or run the risk of being branded as yet another cover up by the Jersey establishment. A vague reference from Ian Gorst that an inquiry may start in 2013 could be viewed as yet more prevarication. Enough time has already been wasted in the pursuit of justice, and people have already had their reputations blackened by the campaign of lies distortion and misinformation generated by the vested interests in Jersey.  On Wednesday 24th October, it was reported that Senator Ian Le Marquand had said that the enquiry would re open if "any new leads" were uncovered. Since then, almost on a daily basis new allegations and revelations are reported in the press and on television. That...

Another can of worms.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/revealed-jimmy-savile-investigated-for-bbc-sex-attack-in-1980s-8226777.html Police had suspicions about presenter 20 years earlier than previously thought   For decades, this pervert seems to have been immune from prosecution. More than 6 different police forces were aware of allegations against him but in each case it seems that there was insufficient evidence to pursue a prosecution and investigations were dropped. The number of  investigations where  "insufficient evidence"  resulted in no further action, is stretching the boundaries of coincidence to the extreme. It seems to me that there was, and continues to be, an extensive cover up and concealment of truth in respect of Savile's activities and the involvement of others.  

BBC investigations must not take centre stage.

  http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4608212/Savile-lair-raided-amid-fears-20-abused-there.html Police swooped on Jimmy Savile’s country hideaway yesterday. Jimmy at his home in Glencoe The investigations at the BBC, must not be allowed to overshadow the wider issues. Savile, and all those involved with him, either in the cover up of his activities or actively involved with him, must be identified, exposed and prosecuted no matter who they are or what their position in society may be. The victims of this creature and his circle,  deserve some measure of justice.

Jersey abuse inquiry 'may reopen'.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-20043564  Senator Ian Le Marquand dismissed suggestions that an outside force would need to be called in. Senator Ian Le Marquand:  Home Affairs Minister Even before a new reopened enquiry gets off the ground, the States establishment, this time in the form of Senator Ian Le Marquand, the islands home affairs minister, leaps up to dismiss claims from Lenny Harper the former deputy chief police officer, that the government had too much control and that someone was needed with an outside perspective.  Le Marquand said that the enquiry would re open if "any new leads" were uncovered. Since the ITV documentary "Exposure" was screened earlier this month, new leads and revelations have been published almost on a daily basis and some of those have a direct connection with Jersey. It is evident to all, except perhaps senator  Le Marquand, that the original enquiry on the island left numerous unanswered questions, and...

Savile and the Haut de la Garenne connection.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-19932105 New allegation that Savile sexually assaulted a 10-year-old boy while he was at the Haut de la Garenne children's home in Jersey.   The first, of perhaps many allegations directly linking Savile with the Jersey Child abuse scandal and Haut de la Garenne in particular. Now the extent of the abuses and the subsequent conspiracy in the Jersey establishment to cover up the whole outrage must be investigated. The arrest and conviction of only seven people demonstrates that there are those in Jersey society who believe that a few "sacrificial lambs" will be enough to satisfy public opinion and that the scandal will fade into history. It is time for their complacent belief that they are "untouchable"  to be shattered.

The Jersey Child abuse conspiracy is falling apart.

Former Senator Stuart Syvret Lenny Harper Former Deputy Chief Officer There can be few people living in Jersey today, who still continue to believe that the Haut de la Garenne investigation resulted from a “conspiracy theory” and that the evidence found at the site was fabricated. Of course there are those individuals within the Jersey establishment who knew the truth all along, as they were involved in the abuse personally or who, then and now, are actively involved in the cover up.  With the exposure of Jimmy Savile's connection with Jersey and his involvement in the Historic Child Abuse investigations, perhaps now is the time to revisit some of the comments made by investigators and politicians at the time . To an outsider like myself, it has always seemed to be the case that there were elements within the Jersey establishment who were very keen to dismiss any suggestion that any crimes were committed at the Haut de ...

Tourism in decline?

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-19609680  The number of people travelling to Jersey in July was down by 10.6% on the same time last year.  A Jersey Tourism spokesman said  16% fewer people travelled to Jersey by ferry in July compared with the same time last year.And 18,500 fewer people chose to travel here by ferry in the first seven months of 2012.   This is hardly surprising. The cost of getting to the Island, by sea or air, is expensive and then the prices of the traditional tourist attractions (those that are still left that is), make a day out for Mum Dad and two children rather prohibitive. The days of duty and tax free goods, spirits and cigarettes are a distant memory, with a bottle of wine being around the same price on the Island as it is in our local Morrisons supermarket. I remember not too long ago, paying more for a litre of petrol on La Route des Quennevais than at Tesco in Dorchester, but sanity now seems to...

Frank Walker blew it.

  http://t.co/f4d76PTW In a recent Guardian Article, the former Chief Minister of Jersey, Frank Walker, was given the opportunity to show the world that Jersey is none of these things and is willing to engage with anybody who believes otherwise. The Guardian Newspaper asked the Former Chief Minister a set of questions (below) that could help shed some light on the (possibly illegal) suspension of Jersey's most Senior Police Officer during the middle of an investigation into allegations of  State Sponsored Pedophilia and related matters. Frank Walker has been avoiding issues and questions for years and getting away with it. It always seemed to me that many States Members were afraid to challenge anything he said or did. This interview from 2008 is enlightening.( Stuart Syvret wins) . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghJrJEUNxBY
