When I commented that I had trouble deciding whether to vote 'mad' or 'wise' on your poll, you asked how it would be possible to be both at the same time.
These Jimmy Saville T-shirts illustrate just 'how':
Yes, you are right that it is despicable that 'we'(as a society) attack the reputations of dead celebrities who can't defend themselves, and that individuals didn't have the bottle to accuse him whilst he was alive.
But that doesn't make Jimmy Saville innocent of the heinous accusations being bandied in the press.
If it's wrong to accuse him after death, then it is also wrong to defend him after death.
I can't know whether he was innocent or guilty. I do know that it is in extremely poor taste to defend someone who might very well be a paedophile, by wearing a T-shirt with an inflammatory slogan whilst not being in possession of the full facts.
It bacomes madness if you want to be a politician and get people to vote for you other than twits who just want to be controversial for the sake of being controversial.
It's double madness if you actually have some serious and sane points that might attract people to want you to represent them, but you prefer to shoot yourself in the foot over a Red Top story like 'Jimmy Saville' just by delighting in taking the 'contre pied'...

For the record, I think Savile probably did it.
But since he is dead, and cannot be tried, we have to let the matter rest, rather than try him in the Kangaroo Court of Public Opinion.
Innocent till proven guilty is a long-standing and sacred legal principle, surely too important to be forgotten in the rush to appease a bunch of ageing carrion-eating ex-groupies, surely?
But if you also think that it should just be left to rest, then why promote wince inducing T-shirts just to provoke people ?
especially if you also think that he was guilty ?
It's rather pointless, won't help you get elected on any more important issues, and they're pig ugly and in bad taste.
I just can't see the usefullness in wanting the world on your back for the sake of it.
Jimmy Savile. Yawn.
As for the BBC, I just don't watch it, and don't pay the license anyway. That's a better way of quietly objecting.
Are you really telling me to not watch TV to appease a bunch of ageing groupies?
I'm not telling you not to watch TV to appease a bunch of aging groupies, I'm telling you that if you object to what the BBC do with your license money, leave them to it and don't watch TV.
Anyway, I bet you that the sort of crap that is on TV -which portrays
'real life' as a series of torrid homosexual or extramarital affairs, murders, incest, and addiction problems (in a bid to get ratings by tackling 'problems'
that most people never have ), is as much to blame for the moral decline of Society as anything else.
I repeat -if you think that Jimmy Savile was guilty, but think that it is wrong to judge a dead man by a Kangaroo Court, when he cannot defend himself..then surely the best thing to do is to ignore the whole thing totally.
If everyone did that, then there would be no 'story' and it would be left up to individuals to pursue their grievances through the proper channels.
The papers love 'celebrity' muckraking -it makes for controvosy -but you are showing yourself as no better...
However, politicians ought to be people that we look up to if we want them to lead us...not down in the gutter with the Red Tops & Soaps...
I could forgive it a bit, if at least these were artistic, beautifying, witty, or otherwise attractive garments...
But they are just ugly, stupid, and attention seeking.
I am afraid I feel I need to watch TV from time to time for entertainment and information even if much of its programming is a curate's egg. That being so, I must pay the BBC licence fee. That being so, I am likely to have my licence fee used to pay off ageing groupies claiming that Savile sexually assaulted them. Since I object to the paying off of opportunistic slags sluts and slappers, I must make my objections as widely known as possible.
Then I don't have much sympathy.
You know (of all people) what the BBC represent.
You choose to watch their crap and so pay the license fee.
It's their show and they're running it...you object ? Then don't watch it or pay.
Jimmy Savile ? In the greater scheme of Life, who cares ?
Why put another nail in your career for such a futile detail ?
Personally, I have different futile things to do with my spare time than watching television. So, there.
