“Starmer's go-to excuse: 'I was in the dark'. Don't believe it. He's deeply in the loop”

“From Jimmy #Savile to Peter #Mandelson, Starmer has followed a trajectory of career-enhancing ignorance. He knows far more than he lets on. It's the reason, after all, why he was knighted.

[..]

“This is one long trajectory of career-enhancing ignorance and incompetence. Does any of it sound even vaguely plausible?”

@spocko
We had a chap whose catchphrase was "Jim will fix it". (I see #Trump is presenting a corresponding phrase on his podium.)

It didn't end well.

Jimmy #Savile was a prolific paedophile

@bullivant from Sam Freedman's book discussing #APCareHomes safeguarding failures surrounding care of children (girls age 12-16) in their #Wilmslow, #Cheshire care home.

He reflects on the 'blatantly ill-qualified people' - such as owners #AmpikaPickston and her fiance - convicted Pimp, Pornographer and #WestHamUnited CEO #DavidSullivan, that #Ofsted licensed to own them!

Would UK authorities allow people like #Savile, #HughHefner etc., to open girls care homes I wonder?

In other news, I've just watched all episodes of the #BBC show #TheReckoning

Jesus... #Coogan is a great impressionist and actor. But the things he did in those shows... ouchie.

And they're based in fact of what #Savile actually did to vulnerable people.

Three more hours left of Steve Coogan portraying one of the most horrific monsters in all of popular culture. #Savile feels like some important 'victim-lead' dramatisation.

@jonhendry @laseletzky

The #BBC was 50% of UK TV in the 1970s - ITV had other scandals ( EG Barrymore) - it was not just the BBC where it happened - it was the hospitals which #Savile visited "for charity"

#RussellBrand was more associated with Channel4 than BBC TV - tho admittedly he did have a radio show. I do not think this has any impact on BBC funding

Both gave me the pip well before any scandal in any case

@jonhendry @laseletzky

Thats a bit of a stretch - #Savile was on the BBC in the 1970s and the scandal blew up in 2012 - so all a long time ago.

#Brand was on the BBC less than he was on Channel 4

It takes a pre-existing dislike of the #BBC to see this story as a reason to seek abolition of the licence fee

I just watched a 30-minute video on #Peter #Gabriel and his artistic split from Genesis, and all of the ramifications of where it led his and other people's music, and even international awareness (his #Biko was instrumental in helping draw the world's attention to #apartheid in South Africa, and in fact #Bono of #U2 said he learned about apartheid in South Africa from Biko).

One thing I wasn't aware of was that Britain's Top of the Pops wouldn't play Gabriel's video for Jeux Sans Frontieres because they felt that the clips of Gabriel moving around a table with children seated around it, an allegory on the childishness of international relations, was in some way creepy and prurient. This is INCREDIBLY ironic in light of the fact that #Jimmy #Savile, creep par excellence and a major figure in Top of the Pops, would eventually be arrested for a long-standing pattern of child sexual abuse.

I guess it's one of those "eye of the beholder" things. If that is how you think, that is what you will see, whether it's really there or not.
