Hard News: Media3: Whistleblower Season, in reply to Graeme Edgeler,
Rape … isn’t a custom that used to be OK
This statement seems counter-historical.
I don't mean legally. I mean MORALLY.

Oooo, that's a nice shot!

Hard News: Media3: Whistleblower Season, in reply to Steve Barnes,
Another effect of this “moral panic” was the impeachment of Bill Clinton, what was once accepted as part of the trappings of power, the wooing of maidens, was used as a means of denigrating a person who would otherwise be considered “a Good guy”, as was Savile in his time.
Hang on a minute. Clinton was not impeached for having (consentual!) sex, he was impeached for lying about it and attempting to cover it up.
Savile was a child rapist. How can you possibly conflate the two?
You think that society is more inclined to punish child rape now than in the past, well, how can that possibly be a bad thing?
Rape is not a social more. It isn't a custom that used to be OK that is now frowned on. If perpetrators are now more likely to be caught, surely this is progress towards a better society, that looks after vulnerable children??
Jesus wept; I can't believe we're even having this conversation.

Hard News: Media3: Whistleblower Season, in reply to Steve Barnes,
the prosecutions are both coming from Society distancing itself from its past by placing blame on individuals.
No.
The “ritual satanic abuse” alleged in the Civic Creche case did not happen: it was invented. I don’t know if you’re familiar with the case at all but the allegations were truly bizarre.
In English TV there’s a long tradition of outrageous innuendo. It’s generally supposed to be in jest. What nobody could credit about Savile was that he wasn’t joking.

You turn it into a bouncy stonehenge
Wow, thanks for that David, how awesome! And I loved the bouncy marae too, and regret not bouncing on it when I had the chance.

The apparent reasons for the persecutions are different
Yes, the reasons are that Savile abused children and that Ellis was framed.
