Source Savile's wikipedia page:
"In August 1988, he was appointed by junior health minister Edwina Currie as chair of an interim task force overseeing the management of Broadmoor Hospital, after its board members had been suspended"

Thoughts?

She is a predatory female (I know someone who was subjected to it when he innocently accepted a lift home from the pub up in Derby, her constituency) yuk.

I don't think he said it for that reason but I bet he's aware of it. Very glad he said it. It might have stopped Edwina grinning and yelling for a moment and trying to make us forget her record.

That could have been an awkward moment when Savile was mentioned

I don't think it was aimed at Edwina, but it did seem like a well rehearsed crowd pleaser.

Am I to understand that MB is claiming to have known nothing about Jimmy Savile at the time? It seems everyone else at the BBC knew all about what was going on under his nose. Some journalist!
I'd stay off the subject if I was him

No he said he couldn't bear him, seemingly, before anyone else.

You also have to remember how much power JS had and how many others he could have taken down with him.

Considering how long it took the police etc to accept evidence that Jimmy Savile was a predator, it's not possible Michael Buerk ,should have had evidence he could present in court.
Besides which, he said that he didn't like him, before evidence was revealed. He didn't say that he knew about evidence but ignored it.

Even of anyone did have evidence, the point is, would they have dared?

I never liked him either, there was always something off about him.

What exactly are you talking about........ a bit of detail would,I am sure, be good. And I am sure facts would be even better.

So do you recon that it's all Edwina's fault do you ?

Gets better by the minute.

It sure does.

She's apparently also now been "stalking" Jake

I'm not watching the same show, that is obvious.

I'm sure we are watching the same show Anne but I prefer to look at people as I find them and not as a p[re-judged assumption. And your "she's apparently also now been stalking Jake tends to support this.

I was agreeing with you.

Someone posted she was stalking Jake.

Of course not but it would be embarrassing for her that she had a role to play in putting Savile there in the first place. Michael is a clever man and probably knew of the link.
