Hindsight is a dangerous thing as witnessed by the recent grilling of the new Head of the BBC re: the Savile Debacle

 Some setting of context is required . . . . Most of us of a certain age knew/know most of this . . .Gilbert Harding, Kenneth Williams (Julian & Sandy on 'Round the Horne' et al thinly veiled 'gay' speak of Polari that I adored and still do!) but is it dangerous to associate homosexuality (when it was illegal remember) with perversion that saw Joe Orton & pals feel that 12 was a bit too young for their boys but 14 year olds were fine!

 There is a notion that homosexuality and paedophilia are somehow linked and they aren't but it also seems to me that public school, boarding school traditions makes for the buggery of school boys for one, part of a culture that lends the lowest common denominator of moral behaviour to be taken for granted, 'schoolboys will do that don't cha know' - Lord of the Flies anyone?

 There are recent accounts of all sorts of 'actors', being known for such moral turpitude; the predatory lesbianism of Comic Actress (P.R.) for example . . .as one new female runner was warned not to get in a lift with her for fear of her legendary reputation of aggressive groping . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .when friends went to TOTP studio we all knew Jimmy Savile was a creep and a "DJ" therefore beneath contempt, not a real artist or "star", but what about John Peel? We worshipped HIM! First wife 15 years old and girlfriends later not much older and often spoken about as funny, for after all we were all that age too! But dear old Auntie Beeb transported these people to stardom . . . . . .

 "Light entertainment: our paedophile culture" by Andrew O'Hagan (London Review of Books) http://cdn.lrb.co.uk/v34/n21/andrew-ohagan/light-entertainment 

 Brilliant article placing the current 'hysteria' in some context. Who's guilty? Why we all are!
