      What we all celebrating here? The man, apparently, LITERALLY knew that saville was fucking children. Your daughter, your little girl, your baby who calls you daddy. Yet what did he do? NOTHING. FUCKING. NOTHING. Why? Because he didn't want to lose his career. He didn't want to lose his massive recording contract. So much for anarchy. That man loved the money like all the others did and turned his eyes away when he was told.
      The fact he knew and the fact he was meant to represent this new age, enlightened and free speaking people, yet still chose to keep his mouth shut, just says a whole lot about your false idols. They're all a disgrace and you should all be ashamed for saluting this monster. False, fraudulent profits (that is not a type) who live in a world of hypocrisy. He is almost bad as the rest

      Yep, never once heard him condemn his ex manager Malcolm McLaren for his blatant and well publicised paedophilia, including publishing an actual smut magazine for nonces and exploiting a 15 year old female singer, all not very long after the Sex Pistols.
      Seems Johnny only condemns this sort of thing when it's trendy and topical. The BBC didn't ban him either, there's loads of footage of him on Jukebox Jury and ToTP with PiL in the years following 1978. He's always been a massive bullshitter and attention seeker.
      Read Jah Wobble's autobiography for a good insight into how much of a shithouse Johnny Rotten is/was.

      @klaxoncow 3 года назад +44

      For exactly the same reason why the BBC banned Johnny Rotten from naming Saville all those many years ago.
      Legal reasons. Worried about being sued for slander. Not wanting to "displease" certain powerful people who can shut them down, and make sure they never work again.
      It hasn't stopped. The same self-interest that kept people from acting on the "rumours" about Saville remains firmly in place. Whoever these "others" are, no-one wants to be the accuser - for the consequences of what happens to your own life, if you wrongly accuse (or, quite frankly, even when you rightfully accuse). So this builds this "wall of silence" behind which people like Saville operate, and they continue to do so.
      Piers - and his media darlings - want you to take interviews like this as if they're some kind of "truth and reconciliation" to an ugly past that's now gone. To morally virtue signal their awesomeness, as they like to periodically do with a regular "moral panic" from their newspaper columns.
      But Rotten is letting us know - putting "the others" out there and no-one's asking for names - that it's all still happening, and the media is still erecting that "wall of silence" to protect these people. It hasn't stopped. Nothing has really changed. The broken system - everyone's collective self-interest - still implicitly ends up protecting these people.

      @@MrSniperfox29 Sorry to break it to you, hun', but that's not how it works in the real world.
      Saville had a ridiculous number of well-placed, highly important people protecting his rep and shielding every disgusting move he made from the pubic eye - Saville openly bragged about that in many interviews he did (check out his last one with Louis Theroux, for example.) Johnny could've screamed the truth from the rooftops, through a high-powered megaphone, in the middle of Piccadilly Circus, and not only would he have been in serious legal trouble but enough of Saville's goons would've banded to together to permanently ruin his life, professionally and personally. And then you know what else would've happened? Because of the hatchet job done on Johnny to silence him, that would've a) made it ten times more difficult for anyone else to have the courage to make accusations against Saville, and b) Saville would've had even MORE power to abuse kids and women, because now he could silence them with "See, Johnny Rotten tried to expose me, and look what happened to HIM, so it's pointless YOU telling anyone what I'm doing to you, because no-one will believe you if they didn't believe him, a famous punk star."
      One lone voice like Johnny's would never have been enough to take Saville down; it needed an army of voices, all speaking the same thing together. Johnny knew that, which makes him pretty damn brave for even trying - but as soon as he was met with a wall of silence from everyone else who COULD'VE backed him up and stood with him (but chose not to,) he knew he had no chance of being taken seriously. You can't ask one soldier to win a war singlehandedly, and you definitely have no right to condemn him for failing to do so.

    My boss used to run a Rolls Royce dealership in the 70s. They supplied cars to Saville, always paid for completely by the BBC. The power he had, under the guise of his ‘charity’ work was unbelievable back in those days. Those poor abused must have felt they stood no chance - and they didn’t back then.

Explains many things and how policians are so corrupt because these people (are they really people?) are dirty and controllable. It runs deep, far and wide on a global scale. I am sure they traffick people as well, they with intelligence services are behind this. They used to and probably still are responsible for global drug trade as we know Afghanistan helped with that also. Reported recently in UK media how an MI6 officer was not prosecuted for being a paedophile. It is most likely very institutionalised standard behaviour and how the globalists control their assets they implant in power. Of course those people that investigated this thoroughly many decades ago were dismissed and labelled conspiracy theorists and some wrongly imprisoned to silence them. There are hundreds of now proven fact conspiracy theories and yet the media and people simply don't care. The media is there to form, shape and control the narrative that influences people's thinking process, to maintain the status quo, but things are getting worse and the elites are desperate to maintain and expand consolidated powers. They won't let us leave the EU if they can help it. Trust none of them.

      Why is it up to the BBC to act? What were the police doing? Politicians and press all turned a blind eye. He spent many a lunchtime dining with Thatcher at Chequers and she pushed for his knighthood 4 times before finally succeeding in 1990.

    "people knew about him back in the 1950s. Nobody came forward as he had money which meant he could afford the best lawyers and they would rip the accusers to pieces." my dad also went on to say, "he wanted a wooden steering wheel in his Rolls Royce. Saville was told by Rolls Royce that they didn't fit a wooden steering wheel to their cars. Saville got Rolls Royce to fit a wooden steering wheel to his Roller. He had money and money talks."

It would be better for the world if it all fell, this so called 'news'. Yes Lydon was absolutely banned for speaking out, and no, I don't vote ukip or support any left/right divide because I don't believe it's reality, it just exists to give the illusion of choice. What do you think? It sounds like you support the beeb and that is, of course, your choice, but one I cannot agree with, mostly for the paedo reason to be honest

      @Offler The Crocodile God I’m not the one crying here, being blind toughened me up. Grow a pair before commenting on my situation. I love my family, and I’d never cut ties. I put effort into helping them to understand facts and form opinions based on stuff besides wild speculation. They brought me up to respect others for their differences, whilst simultaneously telling me they’d never rent their property to people from certain countries. Being disabled in a pandemic means I have to stay with them. They repeatedly call me crazy and say that I’m going to lose all my friends because I point out white privilege exists. I don’t give a flying monkey’s scattered excrement how crazy they think I am, they’re my family. All I was saying was that I can relate to being the one trying to speak the truth and being called out as a crazy person for it.

      @@Stella-qz7ie Maybe, but it's difficult to investigate things that were hidden in secrecy all along as all those who knew the truth are dead now anyway - all that is left are victims and those who helped hide things. If they were to tell then they may well incriminate themselves.
