Protected by MI5 because of ''links'' to Royalty


As well as - odd for a clapped out has-been of a 'DJ'- pals with every major British Politician, past and present. And Prince Charles?

Surely he wasn't such a major power-player due to his charisma or ''charity works''?

Hmmmm?

He wasn't a has been, though. He was pretty successful and popular until he was retirement age.

I'm not sure you need to bring MI5 into it. He was on some popular shows, and I don't think the BBC or any of these other people and organizations wanted the embarrassment and bad press. I think self interest explains a lot of the lack of interest in investigating him.

Also, quite a few of his victims had psychological issues or other problems so that they wouldn't be taken seriously, accusing someone as respected as Saville.
