Previously I covered BBC Panorama episode aired in March 2008 and presented by Sanchia Berg. Berg later presented a documentary produced by Meirion Jones entitled 'After Savile, no more secrets' and it was in this that Liz Dux maintained that Jimmy Savile had raped a child in Stoke Mandeville hospital. Yes, this one
http://rabbitaway.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/after-savile-no-more-tears-enough-is.html
Now, hold on a minute, in fact hold on a few years, because that is exactly what SOME people have appeared to have done since the subject of Savile and Jersey was first mentioned. We KNOW that the sun tried it on with Jimmy in 2008 but no one appears to have made any allegations against the man until 2012.
BUT, that's not what certain people including Collins who now works with Dux, would have you believe. Oh no, Savile was named as an abuser allegedly, in the 2008 inquiry, according to this woman that is.
Yes, that's Carrie Modral sandwiched in between Bill big mouth Maloney and some other campaigner, and YES that does say 2010. And yes, the same Carrie M who claims to have told the 2008 inquiry naming Savile as a perpetrator of abuse. I kid you not, for Modral's claims form part of an article about an iceberg that Jimmy was merely the 'tip' of !
What ? someone told the Police and nothing happened ? Did this someone not watch Panorama ? Did they not see the sun article etc etc ? Even Collins wasn't aware of any claims against Savile, or if he was, he wasn't telling anyone. And, it's not as if folk were not taking claims of historic abuse very very seriously. It's not as of these campaigner's going to be silenced by anyone
Back to the money and one must never take one's eyes of it for a second, and the revelation that the claimants as they stood in early 2008, might not see a penny
A 'loophole' in Jersey but not in the UK according to the Mail
Now, would you be surprised to know that, in the case of HDLG, the claimants were still fighting to be paid in August 2011 ?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-14450492
Collins was representing 36 claimants and he was getting sick of waiting. Yet still, no mention of any high roller's or ex-Prime Minister's in any of the press stories at least !
Which brings me back to Carrie M and those alleged claims made in 2008. You see, I wanted to know more about an alleged 'bribe' said to have been made by Jimmy to the Jersey authorities to shut them up ! Imagine my surprise when I found her on twitter
No one answered Matt's question, well they couldn't really could they ? The Jersey beans weren't confirming or denying this either. That would be covered in the latest inquiry born of the latest HDLG guest list they say. Another bunch of politicians cop out
Ms Modral seems to be someone who is informed, all things Savile related not so much by alleged 'victims' but by press reports. 2010 ? she must be on about this, the rally against child abuse held in London
But let's head back to 2007 or when ever it was that one decent social worker decided to blow the whistle on the treatment meted out to some of these poor kids in HDLG.
But no one outside Jersey seemed to give a damn until bones were unearthed at the Bergerac location. And, it wasn't just Sanchia's crew who got involved in the matter. Oh no, the NSPCC were on standy to help 'victims' too !
You see, the world's press was not interested in the mistreatment of kids in Jersey. They only descended on the Island once someone mentioned bones and torture chambers etc. I know this because Sanchia Berg wrote this in November 2008
No proof of any murders were found and that particular inquiry ended in 2010, only to be re-opened when NEW evidence surfaced. And this time it involved famous folk and 'VIP's and ... well you know the rest ! The lawyer's now had more than a "straw man" they had access to a much bigger pot of money .... ours ! He must have been delighted when you consider what he wrote back in 2008
It's called 'vicarious liability' guys and gals and where there's money there's muck and once enough folk start slinging, you never know where it will land !
Have a close look at this photo, it's allegedly the one the sun threatened to publish in March 2008.
OK I know we've seen this a hundred times already but, following Heath's entrance into the fray, I thought I'd look at it again. This time I located a clearer image
There's something wrong with this picture and it's nothing to do with it's date. No, it just doesn't look right. The first thing that caught my eye was Jimmy's pose, or rather, lack of it. Why is he not looking at the camera ? It's not like him is it ?
And then there's this !
The body-shape of the boy on the right is so much bigger than that of the lad standing beside him. Look at the size of his head and face ! Look at the photo/s yourself, see what you think.
But, I haven't returned to Jersey to look at photo's. I've come because of this !
Yes that's Alan Collins 'investigating' alleged sex abuse in February 2008. And his tentacles spread all the way to Australia, so vast are his hope to uncover as many 'victims' as possible. And he's not working for Panones, or Slater Gordon but some firm called Dyer Burdett !
I found the above on this 'abuse blog' on a site called Verisona Law. Read it folks, you'll be amazed at how many places Collins was 'investigating' not only in Jersey but in the UK. He's calling out for claimants in 2008 for cases that led to prosecutions in 2006
Here's a 2006 BBC news article
NOW, here's where things get interesting, because this was a civil case. What's more, it hints at darker forces being at work, for these boys were allegedly, rented out for others to abuse
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/berkshire/6195572.stm
Here's the link to Versonia Law abuse blog, it's archive makes interesting reading folks.

The Jersey shit didn't hit the fan until 2008 with the HDLG nonsense about milk teeth etc. And when it did, we see the original claims were NOTHING to do with sexual abuse but everything to do with physical and mental abuse. And the BBC was there guys and gals, Panorama to be precise. Sanchia Berg to be even more precise !
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/panorama/7268734.stm
Where the hell are any claims about Jimmy Savile ? Not like Sanchia's crew would have been unaware of that photo and Jimmy's threat to sue is it ? Meirion at most could have only been a few desks away from her boss ?
I have so much more to tell you guys and gals. I'll be staying in Jersey for a while yet, I haven't even told you about Bergerac yet ! Stand by for some light relief because apparently HDLG was actually used by the BBC as a location ! You just couldn't make it up could you ?
Above from the Fortrean Times forum in 2008. You know what the Fortrean Times deals with don't you ?
By the way the advert for viagra best price on Collins call out has absolutely nothing to do with me !!
Goodness Gracious me, I don't know what you guys and gals were doing in your bed in 1974, but I do know what I wasn't ! I wasn't listening to the 1974 bloody election results ! John Whittingdale MP and culture secretary was doing just that. We know because he told us this in 2009 !
John is proud of his political roots and waxes lyrical about Thatcher, when it was still fashionable to do so !
You can read the rest of this fascinating article here in the parliamentary house magazine dated July 2009
http://design1.dods.co.uk/housemag/House-July-6-2009.pdf
I didn't know of this guy's existence until Moor Larkin's latest blog post captured my interest.
http://jimcannotfixthis.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/sotcaaing-to-yew.html
You see, John W was and is a fierce anti - BBC 'crusader' from as far back as 2003 according to this in the guardian published when he got his 'dream job' as culture Sec this year !
But sod the licence fee, what about any agenda he might have, all things BBC related ?
Select Committee's ? Tom Watson ? BBC ? Rupert Murdoch ? Goodness Gracious what does any of this have to do with Jimmy Savile ? I suggest you read the article about his 'entirely unexpected' 'cabinet elevation' !
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/may/18/john-whittingdale-culture-secretary-bbc-rupert-murdoch
Especially given what happened to Murdoch in 2011, just before Jimmy died !
Oh, the fuss John made about the Savile Newsnight saga
He agreed to wait for Pollards findings before deciding who else at the BBC might be called in for questioning
And, when Nick produced the only Savile report worth reading, John spun over to, not WHY Jones' project was dropped but the 'bigger question'
http://www.johnwhittingdale.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=295:future-of-the-bbc&catid=4:house-of-commons-&Itemid=7
It was all right to attempt to expose a dead disc jockey, but when it came to living Lords, well !
But, all this pales into insignificance, when one considers the minister for culture's own association, by family, to a convicted child sex offender, one Charles Napier, this guy.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/charles-napier-arrest-half-brother-tory-1998917
Now, were not talking about an alleged goose in a dressing room here, we are talking serious charges that go back to the 1970's.
The minister's response in 2014
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/11238339/Charles-Napier-admits-string-of-historic-sex-offences-against-boys.html
He hadn't just left school in 1995 had he ? Not that having a half brother jailed for child sex abuse, should affect anyone's reputation or job chances that is !
Now, guys and gals, imagine my shock to find just now that one of Napier's 'victims' was a journalist, and not just any old journalist, oh no this guy worked at Private Eye Magazine !
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/11311759/Charles-Napiers-victim-tells-of-relief-as-former-teacher-is-jailed-for-13-years.html
I think I'll go back to bed and huddle under the bedclothes with my tranny like I did when I was a kid. Us ordinary kids had better things to listen to than bloody election results !
Boarding school girls ? Oh no, not that again please !!
Goodness Gracious Cilla has died ! Aside from the FACT she stuck up for her mates when some of them were being persecuted by the Savile CPS, she had a cracking voice. This one will make you cry, if you have a heart that is !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAuoNa5g6i8
What's it all about Cilla ? Is it just for the moment we live ?
Cilla stood up for her very special friend of 50 years, when he was targeted by the media and cops.
So, it seems only fitting to let Cliff have the last word on todays sad news. Nice to know that in some circles of celebrity land, solid, loyal folk still exist !
http://www.itv.com/news/update/2015-08-02/sir-cliff-pays-tribute-to-very-wonderful-friend-cilla/
Anyone my age who has a heart, will be sad today !
