I CAN’T say that the news of Jimmy Savile’s past has come as a shock, as I always thought that the man had a screw loose somewhere and was finally convinced after watching the documentary made by Louis Theroux, some time ago.

However, what really puzzles me, is how he managed to get away with it for so long and with so many unfortunate people.

Surely someone must have known of his antics and if there are some who knew, then by implication they should be brought to book.
