A Dangerous County

Guardian obituary (via PA) of Jimmy Savile :

"His success was founded on a totally overweening belief in his own abilities and a tremendous energy, which took him from the Yorkshire minefields to radio and TV stardom."

Why do I fucking bother.
The country is going under, the cunts in charge of Parliament are crooks as are the cunts in charge of the EU, the UN, the IMF, the US administration, not forgetting the cunts in charge of the NTC in Libya.
What fills the news bulletins?.
Fuck it, I'm out of here.

My Mum was from Leeds, and was in the same class at junior school as Peter O'Toole.

She met Saville many times in the late fifties, when, judging from the photos I've seen, she was a very attractive young woman.

Yet she told me that, unlike Fred Trueman, he never showed the slightest interest in her.

He never married.

Anon - but where are you headed to? Where's the (relatively) crook-free zone?

I guess Aus/NZ, Iceland(they let theirs go bust), Norway.

Minefields in Yorkshire would be a bloody good idea.
