Yeah, you will.
Now Margaret Thatcher finally became... That's like the most disgusting thing in this entire fucking series.
Yeah, man.
The flow.
Now, Margaret Thatcher became prime minister in 1980.
And since Jimmy now had connections at every level of British government, he began making regular visits to both Downing Street and Buckingham Palace.
At those locations, Savile would assault the people who worked for the royals and the people who worked for Thatcher, all while he gave advice to the people who ruled England.
Yeah, but even though Savile was now a part of the crew that made the decisions that affected the lives of every person in the United Kingdom, he was still considered a person of interest in the infamous Yorkshire Ripper murders.
Now, to give you a refresher, the Yorkshire Ripper murders involved a string of 13 killings and seven attempted murders in Jimmy Savile's territory in northern England, Leeds and Manchester.
The Yorkshire Ripper was eventually identified as Peter Sutcliffe, who was arrested in January of 1981.
But Jimmy Savile had been considered a person of interest to investigators prior to Sutcliffe's arrest for multiple reasons.
Firstly, most of the Yorkshire Ripper's victims were sex workers, and Jimmy Savile was known to be a regular patron of sex workers in Leeds.
Secondly, two of the murders were committed in Hyde Park in Leeds.
And at the time, Jimmy Savile's apartment overlooked said park and was located not 150 yards from the crime scene.
In an immobile rape unit.
Yeah.
Jimmy Savile was actually brought in for questioning after members of the public finally came forward and reported that his reputation as a predator might make him a person worth talking to.
And then after another body was found near one of Savile's other homes, a dentist actually made casts of Savile's teeth to see if the bite marks matched.
That's how interested they were in Jimmy Savile.
Damn!
