Go Tell ITV, They Might Be Interested

I knew this woman had said the BBC had ignored her complaint about Dave Lee Travis….I assumed it was a complaint made at the original time of the alleged offence….however, incredibly that’s not so….even as Savile’s actions were being publicised the BBC still buried its head in the sand….

 

From the Telegraph:

An alleged victim of veteran DJ Dave Lee Travis has told a court he pinned her up against a wall while presenting his Radio 1 show and put his hand inside her knickers when she was aged 17.

The woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, told London’s Southwark Crown Court she was too embarrassed to tell anyone at the time in the mid-1970s but tried to complain to her former employer, the BBC, after allegations about Jimmy Savile were publicised.

She told jurors: ”They said we are not taking calls of this nature so I felt like the BBC had slammed the door in my face. I was surprised.”

 

The  BBC spent all day yesterday flogging Lord Rennard’s story to death and telling us how the LibDems will be seriously damaged by his alleged misdemeanours and the Party’s reaction, or lack of, to them……wonder if the BBC will hunt down the BBC exec (her complaint was to the DG’s office) who washed his hands of this. and spend relentless hours sifting the evidence.

    Quenelle surprise.

    An example of the BBC’s

    a) total lack of self-awareness

    OR

    b) bog standard Leftist hypocrisy.

    The BBC are so tiresome and predictable they’re like a living Groundhog Day.

    Dame Janet Smith is already looking into the larger situation about the BBC ignoring complaints about sexual harassment. She will discover that there was a culture which led to this appalling tolerance of mistreatment, i.e. no individual can be singled out for blame. She will find that, while there used to be a problem, all is well now because the BBC has put into place loads of policies about sexual harassment and workplace environment concerns.

    Coincidentally, the era when the BBC was apparently riddled with sexual harassment while bosses looked the other way is the same era during which Mark Thompson said that the BBC had a massive left-wing bias. I’m sure there’s no connection……

    I wonder how many BBC employees have signed contracts requiring them to keep the BBC’s dirty secrets?
