McGinnis also blocked legislation that would help sexual assault victims with disabilities, which is a, I mean, it's a hard thing to come out and say, nah.

And so these monsters sat on the hospital's board right next to various other allies of Margaret Thatcher.

He recommended smaller wards with more private rooms, more individual therapy for patients, and a new office for himself.

All of Saville's requests were granted, but it was discovered after his death that Saville had used his seedier connections to gather blackmail on Broadmoor staff, which he used to get them to support his ideas.

But because the establishment listened to Savile, and because it's apparently a long-standing feature of conservative governments to give important jobs to people with absolutely no experience, Franey held the manager position at Broadmoor for eight years.
