That’s the point I was trying to make.Saville wasn’t an unspoken secret, it was widely known but just not reported given his connections and the fear of retribution.
There were certainly many rumours and insinuations before he died dating all the way back to the late 60’s, but the police always refused to act due to political and royal pressure from above.
He was ‘protected’, the police and news editors knew it.
It was known widely but not spoken about.
They must have known.
