    Forcing Fernbridge

    It is time to step up Operation Fernbridge

     

    As Max Clifford faces further police questioning and Rolf Harris’ trial hears that he wrote a letter to the father of an alleged victim stating “I know that what I did was wrong but we are, all of us, fallible and oh how I deluded myself”, we again call for greater transparency about Operation Fernbridge – an investigation that appears to simply not be getting enough attention from the Metropolitan Police.

  • The curse of Savile

    The curse of Savile

    As Savile’s chauffeur Dave Smith is found dead, we suggest his curse is coming into effect

     

    Jimmy Savile’s driver Ray Teret appeared in court on Saturday charged with historic sex offences and now another former chauffeur, Dave Smith, has been found dead. Savile once told Louis Theroux that he’d “take everybody down” if he was accused of anything himself.

     

    The late paedophile Jimmy Savile promised to reek havoc if he was ever accused

    The “little people” that surrounded Savile, such as the two drivers mentioned above, are certainly part of this promised fallout. Why then, one must ask, have this mammoth paedophile’s more powerful associates yet faced any form of questioning? It is time they were brought in also.

  • Savile’s driver heads to court

    Savile’s driver heads to court

    How can arrest of Ray Teret be anything other than related to the activities of Jimmy Savile?

     

    Jimmy Savile’s driver, Ray “Ugli” Teret, appears in court this morning charged with sex offences against fifteen teenage girls and possessing an indecent image of a child. That police claim this to be “unrelated” to the abuse carried out by the disgraced broadcaster is frankly just odd. (more…)

  • Maximum nonsense

    Maximum nonsense

    Max Clifford’s suggestion that Jimmy Savile is to blame for the case against him is without justification

     

    After appearing at Southwark Crown Court today, Max Clifford announced: “But for Jimmy Savile I wouldn’t be here”. He is wrong. (more…)

    Courting Corrie

    Actors William Roache and Michael Le Vell in court on the same day

     

    Soaps are meant to be more dramatic than reality. In the case of the nation’s longest running series, however, it’s the personal lives of the actors that have actually become more tawdry. (more…)

    Plodding communications

    Matthew Steeples argues that the detainment of David Miranda again illustrates why a clearer communications strategy is required on the part of the police

     

    David Miranda’s detainment may have been legitimate and he may indeed have been carrying information that could be considered dangerous to Britain. Equally, though, these charges could simply be, as most suspect, trumped up by the Met. The main wrong in this story, however, is the way in which our police and their press departments have handled it. (more…)

    Trading places

    As Max Clifford appears in court again, he might want to learn to be more careful about what he says

     

    Max Clifford is a man who has based his career on trades. Today, though, the self-styled “celebrity publicist” will be once again swapping the television sofa, however, for the dock when he appears at Southwark Crown Court on 11 charges of indecent assault.

    Selling Savile's lair

    Jimmy Savile’s cottage to be sold at auction

     

    “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know” is the motto Glasgow based auctioneers Ross Harper. This is indeed apt given that they are to sell the late paedophile Jimmy Savile’s cottage in Glencoe on 30th May.
