"Goosed" Day 3 part 2
Ms Ward was on the stand today. This is the only report I've seen thus far !
Finally, she tells the court the impact those words had on her whole life !
As I said, this is the only reporting so far. Out of two articles I found via my search, one of which doesn't even mention todays proceedings ! Sorry I can't link the piece above, it's the second one below
Earlier today, two tweets came in via courtnews UK ! Here for your information only
Well, I'll be goosed !
Frederick Starr V Karin Ward Day 3
Just a quick blog by way of announcing some GOOD news for a change ! Anna Raccoon has just announced that papers have been served on both MWT and Liz McKean to appear at the hearing to give evidence !
Of course, we have no idea as yet what questions will be put to either of these two. I imagine their respective summons', came via the plaintiff's lawyers. can't wait to read the Judge's statement of his decision !
Interesting days ahead guys and gals. Interesting days indeed

Surviving Savile
'Savile survivor' is how Liz Dux described one woman who attended 'Jonny' Maitland's opening night of his 'play'. She says she attended to give this 'survivor' support.
I wondered which of these survivors she was there for and, if this was one of her compensation claimants who, by the way, are supposed to remain anonymous ! I'm guessing it wasn't Karin she was referring to, as I'd be very surprised if she'd claimed compensation. My money's on Dee Coles but I cannot know can I ?
I wanted to know a bit more about this Maitland chap, so I went a burrowing and found that this was NOT his first attempt a 'play' writing. His previous effort 'Dead Sheep' opened at the SAME theater, a few months ago, closing a month later ! The same length of time allotted to his Savile show
Somewhere yesterday I read Maitland justifying his attack on a dead, human being, because it was, in the public interest. Apparently, we are all too thick to comprehend how Jimmy, 'got away with it' for decades. His play provides the answer
I found this one of the most interesting article's of the many I looked at yesterday. Because, it revealed something that is NOT supposed to happen, an alleged 'survivor' made good, allegedly.
Yes, you read that right, a 'psychotherapist' allegedly that is !
Sorry Link too big, google the above title. It's not in the national press, but something called Ham and High, under 'Entertainment'

Speaking of 'survivors', who'd have guessed that the playwright formally known as Jonathan Maitland, is a 'survivor' himself ! Apparently, he SURVIVED his mother !!!
His description of his own mother might explain his particular mindset now
Goodness Gracious - this woman sounds like a real survivor herself. This review from 2006
http://www.theguardian.com/books/2006/mar/11/featuresreviews.guardianreview7
I've written this post as an effort to answer my own 'public service question' as a member of the general public that is ! It seems that the public are only allowed to know what the media wants them to. I wonder how much longer they will 'get away with it' !
Hopefully, the public will hear some TRUTH next week when Karin Ward's trial begins. Yes, the same Karin Ward feted by the media who is being sued by Freddie Starr for defamation of character. I've seen NO sign of the trial in hackville (fleet street), can't think why
On a lighter note, I came across this and I really don't know, WHAT to make of it. Is 'Jonny' part of 'Clan Maitland' ? You have to laugh, don't ya !

LOL, there's a 'Chief' in there somewhere ! I'm sure that would make Sir Jimmy laugh out loud himself !

This is your REAL life Jimmy
Apparently, Maitland's play is said to depict a 'This is your life - style show' interspersed with the memories of Lucy, a 'composite' of several alleged 'victims' battling to expose him.

As it happens, Jimmy appeared several times on This is your life, appearing TWICE as the subject in fact, once in January 1970 and again in 1990.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-4rIQbyxg0
As is usually the case, my blog took me to places I wasn't expecting and watching the 1990 episode revealed a few surprises and the exposure of a few more LIES perpetrated by the media about Jimmy.
In part one shortly after Tony Blackburn and Dave Cash have delivered their tribute, Charles Hulligan, head porter at Leeds General Infirmary appears to relate a funny story about boxes of bra's obtained as donations for patients. But, watch how Jimmy greets him. His body langauge is NOT that of a man who has something to hide. Something that a so-called, partner in crime might elicit memories of ! Because, the press etc have made a lot of their relationship post October 2012.
But, let's move onto part 2 of this video shall we ? Because here is where we find mother and daughter Sue and Charlotte Duffy. Charlotte is a 12 year old who has been at Stoke Mandeville for several years. They both get a chance to speak and appear on the show, along with other members of Jimmy's 'TEAM' at the Spinal Injuries unit !

I decided to look for any recent stories about Charlotte, and this is what I found
Desert Island discs ? What's this got to do with a Stoke Mandeville patient ? Well, as it happens, Charlotte is the young girl who accompanies Jimmy on to the radio show in 1985.
http://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2012/nov/27/jimmy-savile-desert-island-discs
This is the express story the above relates to
And, here's what else was happening just a few days after exposure aired.
Now, amidst all the bullshit going on in November 2012, no one had thought to find Charlotte or her mother Sue. had they bothered, they would have known that the little girl Jimmy brought to Broadcasting House that day, was 7 years old and had appeared on ITV's This is your Life five years after her Radio 2 'mini fix-it'
Jimmy introduces Charlotte as a 'beautiful young lady who lives in this very posh wheelchair' Listen for yourself here

I don't know if they have removed this episode from their archives, and I could care less. We know it happened, we can hear it and we can make up our own minds.
Jimmy appeared on many other TIYL episodes. When I watch his behaviour I see a kind, warm-hearted, generous man. Thankfully I have not been duped or groomed like Alistair McGowan, who uses this byline as an excuse for his change of heart about Savile. He was just one of the many who paid tribute to Jimmy when he died. McGowan will be forgotten soon enough, Jimmy Savile's goodness will not !
I was going to call this piece, 'This is your Death', but I thought to myself, that's 'negative' Rabbit, and this is a 'positive' blog about a positive man !
