Title: TV as it shouldn't be..
Post by: henchard on October 28, 2012, 05:36:50 pm

Anyone remember this programme?
back in the time when ad's were few, and content was made by an institution riddled with child abusers

(http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=28750.0;attach=11503;image)

apparently I was deviating from another thread about television programmes to point out that Light Entertainment in the BBC was riddled with child abusers (one of whom it appears appeared in Dixon of Dock Green) at the time and my post was deleted.

Accordingly I'm having to start a new thread.

I backed up my post by linking to a very long and well researched article (not sensational journalism) that appeared here

good thinking to start a new thread. i imagine there will be some emotional responses. its easier to keep it focused.
 
 
 
i have no problem imagining how rife child abuse would/could be within such circles. there has been online rumours about a high level peado ring for a few years now. this would seem to be the start of a very nasty ugly  awakening to how things actually were. i hope all perpetrators actually recieve some justice. this is a test of the british justice system, as an optimist i hope its dealt with properly.
 
for various personal reasons this is an issue very close to my heart

Brian Gerrish has given many talks about corruption within the system , and this is one of the subjects he includes in his talks .
If what he says is correct then i don't hold out much hope of all the big offenders getting investigated , as many of the offenders are those in control ! who guards the guards ?
I think it will be much like the mp expenses whitewash .
Sacrifice half a dozen that don't really fit anyway and the rest walk away laughing !
