Jimmy Savile

But with this one too, like we've said a million times, like there's just way too many weird connections here to have it not mean something.

Like the British bank, the British artists, like there's already this whole other side of the British stuff that was linked in with, uh, what's that guy's name? Um, Jimmy Savile, all the Jimmy Savile stuff, or he was linked in with the Royal family, all that kind of shit.

So it's like

Andrew and all that.

No, just shell suits in general.

What did he say? They were left in the past for a reason, something to do with Open Flames and Jimmy Savile, basically.

Yeah, Open Flames and Jimmy Savile was the quote, I think.

I'm not sure fire safety was the issue with Jimmy Savile.

Well,

that's what I said.

If they would have put him closer to a fire, it would have been the resolution to Jimmy Savile.

Yeah, then

But with this one too, like we've said a million times, like there's just way too many weird connections here to have it not mean something.

Like the British Bank, the British artists, like there's already this whole other side of the British stuff that was linked in with, what's that guy's name? Jimmy Savile.

All the Jimmy Savile stuff where he was linked in with the royal family, all that kind of shit.

Yeah, like Prince

Andrew and all that.

Could I ask you, who do you think the first winner of Rear of the Year was in 1976? Rear of the Year? Would it be like...

Sir James Savile.

Let's objectify him for once.

It was Barbara Windsor.

Football clubs often find themselves in difficult positions because when you've got tragedy chanting, Palace fans aren't necessarily a part of that.

But when football fans are singing tragedy chants, whether it's, you know, Leeds United fans being sung awful things about Jimmy Savile or about these poor men that died in that situation in the Champions League in Turkey in 2001 or whenever it was.

And then you look at the Man United tragedy and you look at the Hillsborough tragedy in Liverpool and fans sing it and the football club gets brought into disrepute and the football club gets sanctioned but the fans are doing it.

So there's a balance between...

He was famous around the world, wasn't he? Both in terms of the UK and Australia and New Zealand.

And in fact, Rolf Harris, for my work, was somebody that came out of Utrecht and Jimmy Savile.

You know, as a result of the Jimmy Savile investigation, I subsequently got very close to Operation Utrecht and worked very close with them, the Metropolitan Police Inquiry.

And it was in fact my tweet that broke the information that Rolf Harris was under investigation for sexual offences.

And I remember making that tweet from a piece of information that I got, which was basically the police had tried to speak to him a couple of days before and he wasn't available.

But I think it's slightly unfair because Operation U-Tree evolved into different operations.

So the Coal Beach was Operation Midland, and there were other operation names that came out of it.

So in the early days, so when Jimmy Savile was opened up into Operation U-Tree, and then they started to open it up into a couple of other operations, individuals after that, those initial people that were investigated subsequently ended up being prosecuted incorrectly and they were convicted.

Um-You know, the atmosphere was going, it was class, and both fans were singing about Gary Speed.

And there was a funny moment with, um, you know, Jimmy Savile, and he's one of your own, and they were singing back, "Hey, such and such, Ant and Dec.

Hey, such and such, Ant and Dec", and all that.

It was good banter, and that's what I've always got.

This was a guy who was lauded nonstop throughout the 80s and 90s as one of the greatest business people.

It was sort of like the business version of Jimmy Savile in England.

Everybody thought he was the greatest thing ever, then his career ends and then the company It's like in the land of dust and ghosts.

It's revealed there was massive fraud the whole time.
