BBC U-Turn Under Pressure

The fat cats at the top of the Biased Broadcasting Corporation have crumbled under the concerted pressure from self-righteous elements of the media and even more self-righteous elements of the great and good, who in the main are desperate to try and create some clear blue water between themselves and the putrid corpse of Jimmy So-vile.

Ignoring Jimmy's despicable crime of inventing the Discoteque and therefore creating the role of Disc Jockey, they are going to co-operate with Inspector Knacker in looking at the allegations of sexual misconduct with legions of little girls that have surfaced despite their very best efforts to suppress them.

Of course, now the creepy Mr So-vile is dead and buried, his influence has diminished, and fewer people are directly getting well paid for propping up his media image and showbiz career.

Instead, the voices of the victims are being heard more clearly, and the smell of cover-up and corruption is becoming impossible to ignore.

With any luck, heads will roll and reputations will be destroyed. Lots of them, because many were complicit in this saga.
