Savile's pedophilia was an open secret within the corridors of the Beeb
I think it depends on what you mean by paedophilia. They were probably aware that he pursued girls in their early teens but I doubt that they were aware of the extent of his extra-curricular activities, shall we call them? He got up to plenty of weird stuff outside the BBC apparently. He wasn't the only one at the Beeb either to take advantage of access to young teens. It seems to have been seen as a perk of the job. I don't know to what extent people are aware nowadays but there was a time, especially in the 1970s when it was quite acceptable in show biz circles for grown men to have sexual relations with girls as young as thirteen. It was quite common. Sometimes the girls were willing partners though many of them probably regretted it when they reflected on it in later years and felt they'd been taken advantage of. It's funny how nobody has come after Robert Plant or Mick Jagger. Led Zeppelin were absolutely notorious for having young girls in tow, very young, thirteen, fourteen years old. Didn't Mick have some Breton peasant girl whom he or Donald Cammell had picked up in France who wasn't more than fifteen and was in that movie Performance. And of course there was Bill Wyman and Mandy Smith. He was around fifty and she was thirteen. Of course he married her later. She says she didn't really want to sleep with him but she doesn't feel that she was abused.
John Lydon says
To be honest I'm not surprised nobody listened to Johnny Lydon. I mean come on, he was one of the Sex Pistols for God's sake. They'd hardly be considered reliable witnesses. They had a reputation for being outrageous simply for the sake of it so no doubt it would just be considered another piece of attention seeking behaviour.
Apparently, you can't explain what it means to be Catholic (although you insist you are one).
Actually Lyzko that's pretty common amongst Catholics :)) In fact you could nearly take that as proof that he is one!
This is why I have relentlessly tried to get them (jon, Harry, Lyzko, delph.........) to explain Judaism
In fairness Johnny I don't think Jon ever claimed to be Jewish. He may have inferred it however, because he likes to wind people up, just as much as you do.
