Glitter released from prison in a few weeks.

So he knew they were peado's when they were alive? If this is true, how come only you know this, as I haven't heard it from anyone else.
I wasn't really looking for a debate but if you must know Charles continued to support Ball after he received a police caution. It was documented in the media at the time. With regards to Savile no one really knows but it is clear that there were lots of rumours about his predilections whilst he was alive and for many years before he died. John Lydon tried to draw attention to this in 1978 but ended up being banned by the BBC.

No they don't, but you still used Saville's name to trash Charles.

A post manufactured from personal agenda and / or hearsay needs debating. Four posters on this very forum have called peado on me...do you think I should have left it there without debate?

I need no reply.

When I said know one really knows I was referring to the extent of what charles knew about Savile and to suggest that Charles or his advisors knew nothing about what was pretty much an open secret is preposterous.

I am in no way defending Savile but just curious how Jonny Rotten knew about Savile when we the general public were largely ignorant. Anybody know the back story here? Had he seen something illicit when visiting the beeb or something?

Two daft stories I heard about Glitter. Someone I knew went to a massive party at his London house. He was apparently great crack and every time he left the room when he returned he would say “did you miss me?” with eyebrow cocked!

My mate at Uni had a brother who was head of the student Union at one of the Cambridge colleges - Jesus college IIRC. The same one Prince Edders went to. (As a stunt for rag week we were going to kidnap him and were working on a realistic plan to pull it off). Anyway my mate’s brother was responsible for organising those massive hooray Henry garden parties they have. They got Glitter to play at one of them and he was shamelessly hitting on mate’s brother’s lass backstage, who I might add was early twenties - this would have been mid-eighties so mildly inappropriate but not criminal.

I admit to having seen Glitter live several times and he was among the best showmen ever. I liked the way he laughed at himself and the stories I heard about him and his interviews were usually good crack etc. Gutted when I heard about his dark side but there’s no defending outright disgusting noncery like that.
 
Are we just doing allegations or actual convictions? Anyone can do a one sided documentary on anything and be convincing.
You don't need a conviction to be a nonce. Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin, Elvis moved Priscilla into graceland when she was 14, Bill Wyman was dating Mandy Smith when she was 13 and Derek Longmuir, well, he was done for noncing. 300 hours community service, he got!

Jerry Sadowitz called his tour Jimmy Savile is a paedophile in the 90s and denounced him as such publicly in interview and in his show since 1987.

From Mark Lawson in the Guardian:
Elland Road, Leeds, 1987
Living in London, I go north to Leeds United games whenever possible. This is a time, two years before the Hillsborough disaster, when overcrowding or scary penning-in on the terraces are common.
During a crowd surge at Elland Road, someone shouts: “Don’t die because you’ll get taken to hospital and be fucked by Jimmy Savile in the morgue.” (He volunteered as a hospital porter, including morgue duties, at Leeds General Infirmary from 1960.) This shows that horrendous stories about the broadcaster – not just paedophilia, but necrophilia – were in the public domain, at least in Yorkshire, for decades before his exposure.
 
In an interview in 1990 Independant journalist Lynne Barbour asked him 'people say you like little girls'. Louis Theroux in his interview asks him outright 'are you a paedophile'. How are these journalists asking the question if it wasn't common knowledge?

I was gone from England for half of 1989 and then permanently from 1990 onwards. My Dad (who died in 1982) always said Savile was a wrongun but that may have been just his weird appearance and behaviour not perhaps from having known or at least read about any gruesome exploits.

More and more of these allegations and anecdotes come out over time which makes it more and more outrageous that his disgusting behaviour appeared to be somewhat common knowledge (except seemingly to me!) for so long and yet nee-one took him to task.

Who’s Jerry Sadowicz and how come Savile never sued him for slander I wonder?

Coppers never got involved in this in any way? Must have just been the one percent bad apples again eh?
 
sorry mate but what are you actually threatening here? It’s a fact he was accessing child pornography and was placed on the sex offenders register. The excuse of research is absolutely laughable.

Edit - it’s not letting me quote you @T_Bone
