It was in fact a Conservative government which put forward Jimmy Savile to be knighted in 1990. The predatory paedophile was given the award as the Conservative government of the day liked rubbing shoulders with drug addicts and perverts from the entertainment industry.
People can now see for themselves what many children have been saying for years — that child abuse has been going on for years without any police action in the UK.
The Jimmy Savile case is not even the tip of the iceberg. His abuse has been covered up by the BBC and police, and other cases in children’s homes where thousands of children were abused have gone unreported in the British media.
Out of court settlements have been made with victims receiving as little as £3,000 on condition they do not take their abusers to court or go to the press. Victims are told that if the police take the case to court they will be grilled by a defence solicitor. Some are not fit or strong enough to stand in a court and abusing organisations like the BBC know this. All in all the UK has a sick culture of child abuse.
As for the political parties who will do anything for votes, they are now claiming they had no idea that people like Savile and staff in some British children’s homes had been abusing children for years. Perhaps the present government debating about the BBC should look into the Conservative Party members and past Prime Ministers who have been recommending predatory paedophiles for honours.
