I think everyone should calm down and wait for the court cases
Then we can see the evidence. Paedophiles are notoriously devious, often clever, and very manipulative and target children who are not always good at making sensible choices. The "best" paedophiles (top 10 list required) will be able to cause great damage over their lifetime - remember this man died before any allegations have come to court so he must have been very good at getting away with it.
On the flipside, what if he only molested 299 children? Then all the people saying we should dig up his body and hang him will look a little over-reactionary won't they

Their DNA also has more in common with crabs than it does with humans.

A lot of the alleged victims were in children's homes, hospitals, mental institutions and such like.
He seems to have carefully targetted kids who were vunerable to suggestion, and unlikely to be believed if they did spill the beans.
People seem to be focusing too much on him groping girls in the TOTP audience. I would imagine most of those 300 are from the institutions mentioned above

Indeed, Harold Shipman murdered over 250 people and got away with it for so long by picking on the vulnerable.

i don't even think it's general people focusing on that.
i think there's a bit of an anti bbc thing going on. the tories are very happy to see both their ineptitude out of the news and stuff they can now indirectly use to privatise the bbc. the corporate right wing press are laying into the bbc like fuck. i read the independent and it's been like a fucking tabloid with jim'll's pasty paedo chops on it daily. why isn't anyone (in the press) hassling the five fucking police forces that failed to bring him to justice? for example it could very easily be historical systemic failures of police procedures concerning child sexual abuse that lead to savile not being done rather than no one saying anything. the feds can do what they like and the press let them away with it. anyone is welcome to disagree of course.

"The Feds"?
And I suppose the press criticizing Stoke Mandeville is part of an anti NHS agenda?

:D i thought someone would comment on that. :D sorry for not calling them the police.
i haven't been reading every paper cover to cover but it looks to me like the bbc are getting it tighter than the nhs on this one. even though the nhs has arguably fucked up more as they have a more specific duty of care. i might be wrong. i very often am. :d i definitely think that the police get an overly easy ride from the press generally and regarding this case specifically. i know we disagree about the specific awesomeness levels of teh police though eh?
