Unfortunately he will probably be fine as many of those of a similar ethnicity and or religion will watch his back.
For some reason I don't think a thread about Cultural/religious/ethnicity/pc links to historic and current child abuse would have been allowed to run to 170 pages on the main board! Which is a shame considering the numbers of victims runs in to the thousands.

yeah well , kiddy fiddling and how you wipe your arse seem to be more manageable topics than the over running of europe by 100,000's of mostly male assylum seekers ....innit..!?

Can somebody please explain or expand on why Tony Blackburn is sacked not for sex abuse but ' the manner in which he conducted himself at the enquiry'

He is alleged to have given the inquiry information about how the BBC dealt with abuse allegations that was not true.

Thanks LB, I too have been pondering what that general statement meant - I wonder whether we'll find out exactly what Blackburn did or did not do or say? I interpreted the general statement as perhaps he hadn't 'helped police with their enquiries' as helpfully as he might have , to paraphrase. Sad end to a fine career. In some ways another victim, can't help feeling the BBC would love to fast forward 20 years and everyone from that era will have passed on so naturally the spotlight will burn less brightly.
I have just listened to Mike Read talking about TOTP, and how everyone on it,DJs,production staff,and the audience had a wonderful time.
Of course, he never knew anything about the abuse that went on.
When I was in the RN every now and then,young ratings would be asked if they wanted to go on the programme in the audience. A close friend of mine went, as he liked one of the bands on, and, being a bit older than most of the others,got talking to a cameraman on the show. During the conversation the subject of Savile came up,and my mate asked him what he thought of him, he replied that he wouldn't trust him alone with his little sister,and he was well known in the Beeb for being a dirty old man.
I was told this in 1982, so it appears to have been an open secret.

Has a good record as a Met policeman does Det Insp Clive Driscoll. This article suggests why he was taken of the Lambeth sex abuse case.

Yes I meant "Any Questions", as I had just been listening to it on R4. I take it it is David who is living out at Folkington.
I met some lads from Scarborough out in Australia in 1992, they told me that Savile's holiday home there was a "no-go" area for kids. How on earth if the local population knew what he was up to, did this not filter down? Answer: Savile made sure that keeping in with Maggie and other high-ups would guarantee no "guilt by association"..
Funnily enough I heard a lot of scandal about the UK when I was staying out in OZ and NZ for a year. Makes me wonder what else we don't get told, that the rest of the world knows...

There wasn't the culture of openness you have now. I was aware of the Bay City Rollers getting up to no good with people I hung out with in the 1970s. We were just told to stay away, no questions asked, and it was left at that.
It's amazing how these nonces with influential friends are only ever exposed when they are dead. But yet still it continues.
