My guess would be that it’s homage to those who belonged to a certain strand of Breton nationalism, a number of whom may have ended up on the wrong side in WWII. I’m sure someone out there can give us more information.

Jesus! Greta, I had you down for a run-of-the-mill global warming supporter, but now I see you’re a fucking obsessive! I don’t open the links you send because it’s all bollocks. You’re losing the argument and you know it – the climate ain’t playing ball. Don’t bother me any more.

So do those at the Daily Mail and, presumably, those who buy the rag and visit their website. http://zelo-street.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/mail-onlines-underage-obsession.html

1917 was the year of the Bolshevik Revolution so it’s guilt by chronology!! The tabloid newspapers in Britain do far worse. I was joking but Grubb Street hacks are serious.

btw: As the Gulf Stream gets weaker due to warmer Arctic sea temperatures (see the laws of thermodynamics), Britain’s Winters will get colder. South Wales is at a lower latitude than Newfoundland so, look at the snowfall and ice in the St John area.

It was common knowledge at the BBC that Jimmie Savile had a thing about pubescent girls. And this knowledge was not confined to the BBC. Before Thatcher put him forward for his knighthood there were some in her close circle who knew the truth and tried to talk her out of it.

As for your second paragraph, Forbes Magazine may have been founded in 1917 but the article was written in 2012. So what’s the relevance of 1917? Sounds to me like cherry-picking.

Re: Your comment ‘That’s Jimmie’ – Who said that? About what aspect of JS behaviour? When and Where?

A short piece from the CEO of the Pacific Institute writing in Forbes magazine*.

* Founded in 1917 so, it must be communist!!

Savile was too pally with too many coppers, we know that now. In addition, he was considered too big a celebrity to arrest. But that doesn’t change the fact that lots of people at the BBC were aware that he had a predeiliction for under-age girls. It was dismissed with a shrug – ‘That’s Jimmie’. Both police and BBC failed, which is why they’re under pressure now.

Climate change is not science, it was a cover to disguise the realignment of the post-communist Hard Left looking for a new way to undermine the West. There has been no warming since 1999, this is now accepted. Can’t argue, it’s fact. If we have another hard winter then it’ll be another nail in the coffin of the reputations of second-rate scientists (even non-scientists and campaigners whose ‘evidence’ has been used to scare us) – desperate for publicity and grants – who allowed themselves to be dupes of the Hard Left. We are probably entering a new period of cooling, but we’ll have to be under 60 feet of ice before those who staked their reputations on a load of old bollocks admit they were wrong.

Savile was interviewed by the police on numerous occasions and they never charged him so, what on Earth do you expect?

Climate change is neither left nor right wing – It’s science. As for any bias on the BBC’s part, many scientists have criticised the Beeb for allowing complete cranks with no scientific proof for their contrary assertions to have equal airtime. However, if you, Jac, have solid proof that 98% of climatologists are wrong please submit your findings for review.

As for the Scottish Referendum reports, it’s a matter of opinion on whether or not the BBC webpage http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/16630456 has as pro or anti stance. Imagine Fox (neutral like Nixon) News as the prevailing TV current affairs broadcaster.

A lot of people inside the BBC knews about Savile and the rest, but turned a blind eye. That’s fact. Public perception says that screwing under-age girls was seen as a perk of the job, by both those doing it and those running the Beeb. In addition, the BBC is suffering collateral damage from the more general loss of respect suffered by the media.

There is no question that in recent decades the BBC adopted a left-wing ethos, manifest in a number of ways, such as becoming a mouthpiece for global warming propaganda. This made it a target for the Tories. Now, with the BBC just one of any number of sources of news, and throw in the recent revelations that the organisation has more chiefs than indians, and that all those chiefs receive excessive amounts of wampum when they retire, then added to Savile it all makes the BBC more vulnerable that at any time in the past.

Which explains the deplorably biased reporting of Scottish news pre referendum, the non-reporting of the Nov 5th demo in London, and a host of similar incidents. Making it obvious that the government has the Beeb by the goolies. ‘Toe the line or lose the licence fee’.

The BBC has always been part of the establishment so, it’s hardly surprising that it toes the line.
Stating that paedophilia is/was the prevailing culture at the BBC is wildly inaccurate so, you’ll possibly get approval from Grant Shapps and other Arthur Daley types.
