I remember chatting on a forum in a thread about celebrities who are absolute assholes. I'm not from the UK, so I didn't know him before somebody in that thread told us about this lady from his little town who was given a small book store by Saville, alledgedly because he had abused her when she was a girl, and threatened to go public. Granted, Sinnead O'Connor took it to another level. And Joe Pesci showed his true colors. What an asshole. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] catch22@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) The whole Jimmy saville thing was insane, he had the keys to mental hospitals. The BBC chauffeured him about, very much like they picked up schoolgirls from school for Russell brand to be brought back to his flat. Saville was great friends with the royals and thatchers government, you'd think the secret services would have known what he was up to... Thatchers home secretary Leon Britton was accused around the same time a lot of others were found out, but Theresa May's government shut that down. Reading this back, I'm thinking I can't post this it's sounds nuts. Maybe that's how these fuckers get away with it... Hadn't heard about Pesci, probably playing on his Italian gangster fame, what a twat. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MartinXYZ@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago* (1 child) very much like they picked up schoolgirls from school for Russell brand to be brought back to his flat.
