Rosie Waterhouse is one of only TWO mainstream journalist's to have shown some genuine interest in Operation Yewtree, and I raise my hat to both of them. But, reading Rosie's and especially those references to Keir Starmer, took me back to a post I published in December 2013 wherein I postulated a possible motivation behind the authorities rush to judgement on Sir Jimmy. Could it be that Jimmy's death - right slap bang - in the midst of Starmer's - Rochdale mea culpa, was his (and others) chance to make good for their failure to help the Susie's ?

Moreover, would anyone have even known or cared, had it not been for the CARL BEECH REVELATIONS ? I'll use terms because these are the sort of phrases used in reference to Jimmy Savile - STILL ! And not just in the press or on the telly, but in a court of law. Yes really ! Everything bad that has happened to accused innocent people falsely accused of crimes involving sexual abuse, has only happened since Savile was found out, because Savile was, and is - definitely guilty, despite never being charged with one single offence during his whole 84 years !
Ex-DPP Starmer is one of those, quite rightly in the crosshairs of those put through the CPS Beech mangle since 2014. You see, Starmer was head of the Crown Prosecution Service from 2008 until 2013 and this - as a matter of interest, is how much he was getting paid in 2010.

Now, I've nothing against anyone getting paid for a job well done, but it wasn't was it ? Him and his minions failed to listen to the Susie's in Rochdale for THREE YEARS ! Read my blog again - 'Susie' first reported her exploitation in 2008, yet her claims were not taken seriously by the Police or anyone else until 2011. The year Sir Jimmy Savile just happened to die !
The men involved were finally convicted in 2012, yet - for the life of me, I cannot name ONE of them*
Note the small print under that photo - Starmer has ordered a comprehensive restructuring of the CPS response to sex grooming. I can't read the whole of the Times article but I can just make out that the comprehensive restructuring of the CPS will include 'historic cases of ...' . Exactly three weeks to the day that Exposure was broadcast. The die was cast ! We didn't believe any claims of sexual abuse, so now we're going to believe them all ! We're even gonna call them victims instead of complainants, and we'll soup up that Achieving Best Evidence initiative, while all the time, Police resources are being cut to the quick. Not that Starmer is/was completely to blame for the madness that ensued as a result of his clearing the decks etc etc, he wasn't the ONLY person involved in this sea-change in departmental policy. The Police chiefs helped him in his endeavour ! Imagine the pressure they must have been under following Rochdale ? Just look at some of the press headlines from May to October 2012
It took just three months to decide that Jimmy Savile had committed 214 crimes. I always wondered what the hurry was ? I guess if he hadn't been found guilty, Starmer would not have been able to name him and his crimes, as a rationale for what came next ! *From one version of his - time for a National Consensus
In the Police chiefs version dated the same - 6th March2013, the Police and Starmer set out their store for how such investigations should go henceforward.
Best practice ? I heard many references to so-called best evidence during the Beech trial. His initial filmed interviews were conducted within the parameter's of Achieving Best Evidence policy, heck they were called - The ABE interviews. Carl Beech's credibility was not called into question by either the Met or Wiltshire Police. Indeed he'd probably be in Sweden running a guesthouse, no doubt hosting the family of the boy he spied on, had he not accused the VIP's, and had one of them, not bravely stood up to him - and the Police officer's who tried to ruin his life ! Well done Harvey Proctor !
Before clearing the presumption of innocence, decks and clearing off to a knighthood and a life in safe-seat parliament, Keir Starmer told us that we couldn't afford another 'Savile moment in five or ten years time'. We certainly can't, but not in the way Sir Keir meant it !
Oh, and getting back to Rosie Waterhouse's piece. Isn't it strange how it's Private Eye she writes for ? It's longtime previous editor had never heard any serious rumours about Savile, not one ! And yet, it was next magazine - The Oldie, that broke the Newsnight story, while most other paper's wouldn't touch it.
Thank God for Private Eye is all I can say ! I've blogged about them before too ! They do make me laugh !
