I mean I remember when I was little watching Rolf Harris doing his drawing and painting thing ("Do you see what it is yet"?) And knowing now what we do about him is truly sickening.
I could be ok with what's going on atm if I thought that lessons really had been learned (as so many politicians are fond of saying). All that's going to happen though is that they'll get better at hiding it. After all it doesn't matter what they do - so long as they don't get caught doing it.
It's the thing that I find most sad, disturbing and disgusting about these kind of stories post-Savile. Just thinking about how many people there are who do exactly the same kind of thing and worse who have, if not actual endorsement from higher powers, certainly a lack of interest in doing anything about it. The fact that it's still happening (and not of course just in the UK if you just glance over at the authorities of the Catholic Church) and exactly the same mistakes and lack of care is being given to vulnerable boys and girls RIGHT NOW.J Tyran said:Sorry but this is a joke, the core of the paedophile ring at the core of British entertainment and politics is still going unpunished. Operation Yewtree has thrown a few of the disgusting bastards like Rolf Harris to the wolves and thats it, its right he finally faces punishment and I am glad he has but its not enough.
What about the dozens or even hundreds of people that must have either ignored or actively allowed Jimmy Saville to do what he did? He had complicity with the government and authorities on so many levels, a government which at the time had a cabinet minister which to this day continually faces accusations about paedophile activities.
Except I cannot post his name as the government and courts slapped an anonymity order on the issue and they are have even tried to sue people for using his name on social media, we know peados work in groups and rings and we know Jimmy Saville had to have had help from the government and authorities to get into those institutions like the NHS, Her Majesty's Prison system and the secure education facilities.
Then you have all the people within those institutions that either turned their backs and ignored what was going on (yeah, young girls where lead one by one for an "interview" in his caravan and any girl that got upset was punished till she shut up) and those that helped him, the authorities have made a show trial of a few of the ones that they couldn't tie to the wider ring with a hoorah about "look we did something" while ignoring the cancer at the core of the old British establishment.

Sticking your head in the sand doesn't make the problem go away. If the history books of the future are going to show anything (assuming it's not propagandized out of the history books) it's that it makes the problem worse.l33tness08 said:Tinfoil- engaged.
