Again, Im not really sure why people are so keen to talk about Jimmy Savile. Aren't you more interested in how Russell Brand managed to "get away with," his alleged crimes?
We're getting somewhere.

Yes I am. Brand may not or (in my opinion) may have used a similar template to Savile. The 70s/80s were different times to today but the cosying up to politicians appears to me to be very similar. Brand and Savile bring courted by the political establishment of the time.

It's interesting why Brand has turned to Ickeism ans started pedalling conspiracy theories unless of course he's a genuine utter looper?

Savile didn't need to as he had Maggie, the BBC in his pocket.

Looks like some establishments and institutions learn fuuck all from previous mistakes.
