if I knew the King of England was a fiddler I would be shouting about it until someone heard me (as an adult, not a frightened child).

Which is why a number of people are asking why the alleged victims didn't speak up when they became adults and when he was alive..and when there was a chance to hold him to account?. Or their parents, or family, siblings, friends, etc etc - no one?

And while the focus is currently on the BBC's conduct, what about the rest of the media? I find it hard to believe the unlamented News of the World among others were intimidated into silence. Pretty sure they'd have had a field day on this.

Not defending him but just asking - where was the shouting?

To clarify - I would be shouting as an adult who knew the abuse was going on, not as the terrified child victim or that victim as an adult

Where was the shouting is exactly my point - if Rantzen and her other BBC cronies knew this was happening, why didn't they blow the whistle?

The answer - they were too busy sucking on the BBC's corporate teat and lining their own pockets while knowing full well child abuse was going on under their noses and at the same time becoming heads of institutions like Childline to placate their guilt.

That's who the investigation is for, prove the abuse and prosecute the bastards that stood back and did nothing.
