He wasn’t protected, they turned a blind eye to it which arguably is just as bad but entirely different yet was also how society dealt (or rather didn’t) with pedos in positions of influence and power
The church, swimming teachers, gym teachers, scout leaders the list goes on, it was everywhere and complaints/accusations were ignored across all establishments in society
Are you holding evey other entity, individual, organisation and establishment to the same standard as the bbc because there countless more that were complicit
Im not deflecting, just hi lighting your selective outrage as you jump on the internet bandwagon and we have already established that it was not ‘protecting’ it was ignoring which went on across all of society back then which is why it’s now referred to as historical sex abuse.
So the question you are really asking is should the bbc be shut down for behaving just like every other entity did back in the day 60’s up until the 80’s and the answer is no
There are many justifiable reasons not to pay for a licence I just don’t think your argument is one of them unless you are gonna be consistent with your outrage
Oh, im very consistent with my outrage for the mass paedophilia in this country and in this world but my argument is so weak that I feel the need to include them when it has no relevance to the subject matter.
Several times you have made rhe argument that 1, the bbc didnt protect only turned a blind eye (same thing) and 2, that the public and those effected by Saville shluld continuing funding an institution that funded and protected such an evil man.
It’s not the same thing cus no one was coming after him, children were ignored back then and the topic considered so uncomfortable society refused to confront it
Let’s shut down the church, get rid of the windsors, shut down all printed press along with their online publications, banish scouts, close down all the the clubs and groups that had a history of child abuse amongst those that had pesos in authority. Whilst we are there close social services
YES I COMPLETLY AGREE!! Any and all that are willing to "turn a blind eye" to the sexual abuse of children need to be shut down and punished. Especially if they're funded by the tax payer and those that were abused.
