But even though Jimmy Savile had been the subject of a murder investigation in 1980, Margaret Thatcher still put him up for a knighthood for the first time in 1981.
That's how much Margaret Thatcher loved Jimmy Savile.
But due to the incredible rumors concerning Savile's sexual crimes, it would take nine more years of constant campaigning before Savile would finally become Sir Jimmy.
I have no idea.
But Jimmy Savile is... If gauche.
Yes.
Now, perhaps because Jimmy Savile had been a suspect in the Yorkshire Ripper murders, he was quite chuffed, as the British say, to discover during a sponsored fun run for prisoners on the Isle of Wight that the actual Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe, was being held at that same prison.
Well, just like it had been with the pedophiles at Broadmoor, Jimmy Savile and Peter Sutcliffe became fast friends.
Savile described Sutcliffe as a good bloke.
His actual direct quote was, Peter Sutcliffe's as good as gold.
The Yorkshire Ripper.
As good as gold.
And this was despite the fact that Sutcliffe had raped and killed over a dozen women.
Now, after Peter Sutcliffe was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, he was transferred to where else but Broadmoor Psychiatric Hospital.
There, Saville and Sutcliffe became even closer because now Jimmy Saville had unrestricted access to the Yorkshire Ripper.
And both staff and patients remarked that these two monsters could often be found deep in private conversation, as if the two of them shared a bond that nobody else could fathom.
Yeah.
And Peter Sutcliffe's down for it all as well.
Wow.
Yeah, I'm going to say no as well because John Stamos sucks.
