Update On Savile And Related Matters

[poliphilo]

Graham Ovenden- an artist famous for highly sexualized images of prepubescent girls- is being tried in Truro on charges of child abuse. His work has been collected by the Tate and also by former Tory chairman Lord MacAlpine.

Has-been entertainer Dave Lee Travis has been re-arrested by police attached to Operation Yew Tree. It's not entirely clear what the charges are. Further arrests of has-been entertainers are expected to follow.

The investigation into the abuse of care home children at The Elm Guest House continues but arrests are slow in coming- even though a list of suspects (including some famous names) is available online.  For some reason it seems much easier to make life miserable for has-beens like DLT than still-ares like Lord Justaclickaway.

Just taken a look at some of Ovenden's pictures on line and they look pretty dodgy. The mills of God grind slowly.

Intriuguing isn't it, how stuff is finally beginning to fit together?

I suspect you'll see Travis start a case for harrassment any day now.

I keep searching the conspiracy websites and I can't nail this Lord. But OMG there are a lot of other celebrity names on the list!

It's amazing what you can get away with if you call it art.

These guys all thought they'd get away with it because it was the '70s and everything was groovy.

They were wrong.

You might want to look at John Ward's blog The Slog. It's where I get a lot of my information. He's intelligent too.

I found it! There's a handwritten piece of paper with some immense names on it.

That's the one!

Ah yes, the seventies- that was when I first experienced sexual harrassment.

It was, um, interesting, given my background!
