I don't quite get why Clifford, Starr and Travis have been publicly named as suspects, yet the children's TV presenter in his 80s, interviewed a week ago as part of Operation Yewtree, still gets to keep his anonymity.
Mark Williams-Thomas (who made the Exposure documentary on Savile) has publicly confirmed this man's identity, yet the media are being shy about reporting his name. Why the double standards? I hope the media doesn't feel too scared to name this individual because he's a national treasure and well connected to royalty, as that's exactly why they never reported the Savile allegations while he was still alive.

Maybe it's because he was only interviewed under caution, rather than being arrested.
It's become very noticeable how "innocent until proven guilty" is being completely ignored, both in the media and people's perception of the breaking news stories. Now every time someone is arrested or questioned related to this, they're automatically a guilty paedophile.

Oh, that wasn't Hall then.
Always dangerous speculating on these matters but a few weeks ago when Clifford was being interviewed (on TV this time) about the matter I was urging the question to be asked of him whether he would see it as his responsibility to pass on any accusations against his clients to the police or do whatever he can do to prevent them being made public.

Tell that to Twitter. And look up my rant from a few weeks ago on Metropol (I post under "Alexia" over there)

Michael/Alexia, still one of the best posts (rants) ever, I reckon.
