Parallel Savile CSA Enquiry Named PR Consultant Max Clifford In Historical Allegations

As far as we’re concerned this is not the biggest news story of last week, which broke on Friday 27th April. Clifford’s naming follows that of Jim Davidson, Freddie Starr and Rolf Harris. The allegations are reported with the usual prurience disguised as public interest and the assumption of being in an alternative judiciary and there is no small hint of Schadenfreude and revenge from the UK print media against someone used to working with them to bring them celebrity stories for his own gain. The allegations date between 1966 and 1985.
