As children we were aware from an early age that given half a chance adults abused their power. Add celebrity to the mix and the opportunities are limitless. Throw in a complacent, self-serving bureaucracy and you have Jimmy Savile and the BBC mess. The latest interesting news is how those BBC journalists that tried to expose Savile have been moved on or sidelined and the bureaucrats and spin doctors involved promoted, of course: head of communications for journalism (£101,000 pa); director of radio (£455,000). We are in a depressing cusp between an age of greed and new Puritanism, without passing through any intervening or interesting revolutionary period. Tumbrils in the Mall! Madame Guillotine! MoL to publish the post-revolutionary lists.
