    She didn't necessarily know Savile was one for certain, she was given memo from senior civil servant saying he was an odd figure and if some scandal erupted it would bring honours system into disrepute.

    Well, it sells papers.

    They are biting around the ankles of the palace right enough. The 'royal' could be Anthony Blunt, who was unmasked years ago (but never prosecuted).

    The shock revelation that Oliver Reed may have been sighted in a brothel with a 15 year old girl.
    Is this the same upstanding gent who flashed his upstanding member on national TV any chance he got ?
    Pissed on bar counters when no ashtrays were to hand ?
    Dry humped Susan George live on the Late Late Show ?

    I am stunned at this display of bad manners and degeneracy. Ollie probably was too when he sobered up.

    Not defending her but if she was still alive and 'compos mentis' she might have plausible deniability on Savile.

    Less so on Sir Peter Morrison though.

    Maybe he wasn't a "true" peadophile but alcohol led him down a bad path?

    Well, Phil the Greek humped most of London society ladies in the 40s and 50s.
    Edward plays for the other side.
    Charles has a thing for plants and Audrey off Coronation Street.
    So I'm guessing the Andy whats called Randy.

    It's possible he was innocent and the rumours were smears emanating from senior civil servants or military/navy figures who resented his interferences. But I really don't know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,133 ✭✭✭FloatingVoter


    Thing about Mountbatten is he was the royal family's fixer. If anything shady was going on at the top of the tree involving someone or other, he'd be the guy to organise the ring fence and cover-up. Whether or not he was mixed up in the ****e himself we still don't know.

    It is possible he was completely innocent, granted. Allegedly the IRA targeted him specifically because of these rumours, however. Until a victim comes forward or there is solid evidence it's all just speculation.

    Name change from the German Battenberg before his time during World War 1. Just a Dingle / An Daingean switch to avoid the natives getting restless.

    That might be the definition, but in common parlance today it is used for attraction to anyone under AOC.

    I truly doubt that he was targetted specifically because of these allegations. I'd say they got lucky. He was lax about his personal security because he believed he got on well with locals and would not be targetted.

    Words change their meaning over time.

    Jimmy Savile is commonly spoken of as a peadophile, but in reality he was probably a predatory ebebophile, as most of his alleged victims were well over 12, on average round 16 I think.

    But bottom line, if it's true that Reed was paying 15 year old prostitutes when in his fifties, I think most people would regard that as immoral and certainly it was and still is illegal.

    Yeah, getting the PIRA, the Guards and the British establishment to agree on the time of day is hard but that is the truth - a high profile "target" in an easily accessible place at a predictable time (same time every year...Classiebawn). Don't believe a randomer on the net, pop down to Mullaghmore yourself and ask any local over the age of 50.
    The fact Mountbatten was sympathetic towards a united Ireland at the height of the 1970s came out later. If they hadn't blown him up, those high value connections of his might have been part of ending the violence up north a good ten years earlier.....instead the IRA got bad publicity worldwide.

    I've heard from a few different people that the alleged activities were behind his death. I've heard a few other things about it too that are definitely unrepeatable, especially on a public forum. It could all be a load of bull, not denying that, I'm just saying what I've heard.

    He was lauded and applauded as a drunk baffoon. There are a lot of lindsay lohan's and Brittany Spears now who don't realize they are clowns for the media

    Awful story.

    I don't think the word has changed meaning for most people.

    It is what it is.

    Let's be honest, there is a world of difference to say, molesting a 1 year old and having sex with a 15/16 year old.

    Look at a smattering of articles or even social media posts about Savile, then look at age profile of his alleged victims, and tell me the word hasn't gradually changed meaning in eyes of media/general public.

    Of course, but equally there is world of difference to having sex with a 15, or say a 30 year old prostitute.

    I find the choice of wording here - "having sex with a 15/16 year old" - somewhat troubling, as we are talking about an allegation (unproven, granted) of committing an offense against a minor, and one likely, statistically, to come from a troubled background and to be a vulnerable person.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,133 ✭✭✭FloatingVoter


    I'm not defending Reed here. But walking into a brothel and having sex with a seemingly consenting "overage" 15 year old is one situation. One a man of Reed's profile should never have gotten into, no matter how drunk he was or wasn't.
    Visiting a hospital and raping a patient whatever their age is quite another.
    On those simple grounds alone Reed and Savile differ.

    I take your point but I believe all of these factors are taken into account in sentencing guidelines. I am still troubled by use of phrases like 'consenting' and 'overage' in respect of a fifteen year old prostitute. I assume when you say 'overage' you mean someone that looked overage? Fair enough, that's a possibility. But under the eyes of the law, statutory rape would apply here, if allegation is true.

    True, that's what I meant when I said Reed should have known better. A professional actor with his talents / experience might be expected to know that people in brothels are inclined to tell lies.
    My point is, strolling into a hospital (sometimes mental institutions of which you're a patron), and raping patients is in another field of morality altogether.
    The lawyers can crunch laws and phrases - I'll stick with a situation I could understand someone for being in and a deed for which I'd happily kill the perpetrator.

    I agree, and certainly wasn't attempting to argue to the contrary. I only brought Savile into the discussion because another poster was talking about how the allegation against Reed wouldn't suggest he was a paedophile, given the girl was allegedly 15. But Savile was possibly also not a peadophile but an ebebophile of a particularly pedatory nature - something approaching a psychopath, perhaps.


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    Ollie would be boozed up in these situations, not a good man to make a judgement call on age I'd imagine. If 16 is the age of consent its reality that many 15 year olds will pass for it.

    Reed was different to any vanilla celeb around today, his world was full of excess and madness, the guy allegedly swung both ways and lived it up every way imaginable. I don't believe the guy was a dirty nonce.
