He never gave himself up to be a political stooge, unlike many I could think of.<br />I know one of his very good friends was a communist.<br />If he was a tory, then he was also a man who raised, so it's said, over £46 million for charities and gave large amounts of his time, throughout all of his life, to help those worse-off than him. Unlike, for instance, Millionaire Blair.soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-72445566336709190062011-11-13T20:29:26.909+00:002011-11-13T20:29:26.909+00:00I first met Jimmy when I was a kid in Wharfedale C...I first met Jimmy when I was a kid in Wharfedale Childrens Hospital. I spent three years there, it was a cross between hospital and boarding school, surrounded by chainlink fence with barbed wire topping. We inmates called it Stalag Luft III.<br />It wasnn't a nice place. But Jimmy Savile occasionally bounced in, btinging us entertainment, music, and his larger-than-life self.<br /><br />Years later, I'd bump into him often, at Dunny's Caff, by the river in otley, a no-nonsense biker and working boots sort of place. We'd exchange nods, and comment on the weather. Everybody or mostly everybody, respected his privacy, he'd be in stealth mode, a big woolly hat covering his head...<br />I never got to thank him for caring about poorly kids in a forgotten backwater.soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-86198553307227774602011-11-10T00:10:16.093+00:002011-11-10T00:10:16.093+00:00RHYMES Superfluous indeed.

The love child they had together is called Boris Johnson. Jimmy was never a card-carrying Tory but point taken.
