Spineless for ITV to be making these Jimmy Saville allegations after he's dead. Presumably evidence wasn't strong enough when he was alive.
@bohemiangirl Absolutely. But is an ITV "documentary" the place for that?

@bazzacollins Where else, a string of memoires? He was canonised by the media too, maybe this was wrong. -
@bohemiangirl Maybe. But as I say, these rumours have been knocking around for decades. Surely he deserves right to defend himself too? -
@bazzacollins If true and he did do this to chidlren,these are no longer rumours but now testimony.Then no,he doesn't.He got away with it -
@bohemiangirl The "if" is the problem. ITV isn't a court. And it has an enormous commercial interest in running the allegs, true or not. -
@bazzacollins But you seem a bit concerned with him and his honour and his memory. He was creepy to the max. -
@bohemiangirl That's a low blow. I'm not defending paedophiles. I'm defending a right to a fair trial, not trial by media after you're dead. -
@bazzacollins And issue of 'trial by media' which happens often a separate one to the import of this set of events or allegations I think. -
@bohemiangirl The women are absolutely entitled to have their allegations heard and investigated, but by police, not ITV. - 4 more replies
