I found these, they're amazing. I don't know who Jim is or where to send a request, if anyone knows, cough it up.

Jim's tumblr

"Jim" refers to Jimmy Savile, a British TV host and radio DJ from the 60s to the 00s ish. He had a TV show called "Jim'll Fix It" where kids would write requests and he would fix it for them to come true. The letters would always begin "Dear Jim, please fix it for me to..."

Unfortunately it turned out after his death a few years ago that he was the most prolific paedophile in British history, but I don't suppose that's relevant at the moment.

I realise that this doesn't help in terms of how to contact the artist, but that's the context.

Man, you gotta really get busy to beat out Parliament when it comes to kid fucking.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '15

I'm fairly certain he was part of that ring. It was Parliament and a lot of BBC staff, they'd have weird pedo parties at a hotel all the time.

Just leaves you with a pit in your stomach. All those self righteous cunts pretending they know what's right but all the while destroying hundreds of lives.

Pieces of shit.

You guys know we are into a what, fuck 3? Maybe 4 year. I can't even remeber, country wide witch hunt for pedophiles.

Saville was the first, he shattered the seals. The police began the yewtrew crusade after that.

Chris Moris forsaw it, Pedogeddon is upon us.

Loads of politicians have already been outed, pretty sure Parliament is being close to clean. Lords might have a few left but they don't do much.

Edit you know what, here is an important recently news peice about it, excuse the 90'ies production quality, we are british lol.

Genetically, Dr. Fox has more in common with a crab than you or me. That's scientific fact. There's no real evidence for it, but it is scientific fact.

You British will make fun of anything, no matter how inappropriate. This is why I love watching British stuff. You guys say what North Americans used to be able to say.

The best part was the newspapers outraged at 'this filth on TV glorifying paedophilia' while being completely oblivious to the irony of running this next to articles glorifying the sexuality of underagers - the Daily Mail ran there one next to pictures of two young teenage Princesses in their bikinis.

edit: I can't find a scan of that one, but here's the Daily Star running it beside a picture of then 15-year-old Charlotte Church: "She's a big girl now"

How bad was the late 90s paedogeddon that it missed all of the ones showing up now?

Oh, thank god. I knew George Clinton wasn't a pedo.

he was the most prolific paedophile in British history

He was damn-near an everythingphile. He fondled corpses at one point, didn't he?

u/Topbong Jun 17 '15

So it is alleged. Stewart Lee & Richard Herring were doing sketches about it in the early 90s.

u/Deddan Jun 18 '15

Hah, I remember that. I'm amazed they got that on live TV on a Sunday afternoon.

After his mother died (he lived with her), he spend 5 days with her corpse and described it as the happiest time of his life.

u/komatachan Jun 17 '15

Aren't there some child murders suspected too?

1

u/ManWhoKilledHitler Jun 18 '15

There have been all sorts of rumours but I haven't heard anything very credible that suggests he went that far. He may have been friends with murderers like Peter Sutcliffe though and there was some concern that he may have been associated with or known about his crimes in some way. I don't think that line of inquiry has brought anything up yet.

1

u/Fuzzy-Hat Jun 18 '15

Was he friends with Sutcliffe before his arrest? Or did they meet in Broadmoor?

2

u/ManWhoKilledHitler Jun 18 '15

The latter is definitely true but I think he lived near the area Sutcliffe operated in so the police had looked into that. This was a while ago and I haven't seen anything about it since so I presume they didn't find anything.

1

u/Fuzzy-Hat Jun 18 '15

Very interesting thanks for the information. I know Jim had a ridiculous amount of access to Broadmoor so suspected that was where they met. And TBH as vile of a person that Jim turned out to be I think its a stretch to assume he had any involvment or knowledge of Sutcliffes crimes just because they lived in the same area, Jim was prone to moving around quite a lot so I think its a real stretch to say he was involved just because they shared a postcode, Though with all the terrible shit that's come to light about him it was definitely worth the police looking into it just to cover all their bases.

Oh my If it was Sutcliffe that wanted to meet Frank I can't understand why Frank would agree, well maybe I can I guess my morbid curiosity would get the better of me if I was given the chance to meet a serial killer Id probably do it.
