Who was Jimmy Savile? More than anything he was a list of contradictions. He was a practising Catholic who raped young boys and girls and had sex with corpses. He was a God-fearing believer who participated in satanic rituals. He was an unprecedentedly generous charity fundraiser who was too tight to buy his own meals. He was a friend of princes and dukes who ate bacon sandwiches at his local greasy spoon. He was a peace activist who tied up troublemakers in his nightclubs and had them brutally beaten. He was a fairy godfather who hated children.Through his relationships with the Royal Family, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul, who gave him a Papal Knighthood, Savile built a powerbase that insulated him from prosecution. Raised to the heights of fame by the BBC, this evil genius preyed on the young and vulnerable for over five decades.The Untouchable Jimmy Savile book series demolishes the mainstream media narratives portrayed in Netflix's Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story and the BBC's The Reckoning to show that Savile's behaviour was enabled by the most powerful members of the establishment for whom he was a fixer and a procurer.
