Introduction

The BBC has been accused of covering up the pedophilia of former presenter Jimmy Savile for years. In a recently resurfaced interview, punk rock legend Johnny Rotten exposes the BBC’s cover-up of Savile’s crimes.

Background

Jimmy Savile was a popular presenter on the BBC for decades, hosting shows such as „Top of the Pops“ and „Jim’ll Fix It.“ After his death in 2011, it was revealed that he had sexually abused hundreds of children and adults over the course of his career. The BBC was accused of covering up Savile’s crimes, with some employees allegedly aware of his behavior but failing to report it.

The Interview

In a 1978 interview with BBC host Bill Grundy, Johnny Rotten (real name John Lydon) spoke out against Savile, calling him a „hypocrite“ and accusing him of being involved in „activities of a sexual nature“ with underage girls. The interview was banned by the BBC and never aired.

Exposing the Cover-Up

In a recent interview with Good Morning Britain, Lydon spoke out about the BBC’s cover-up of Savile’s crimes and the banning of his 1978 interview. He stated that he was „banned from the BBC for telling the truth“ and that the organization was „fully aware“ of Savile’s behavior but chose to ignore it.

Lydon also criticized the BBC for its handling of the recent Martin Bashir scandal, in which the journalist was found to have used deceitful tactics to secure an interview with Princess Diana. He accused the BBC of being „rotten to the core“ and called for a complete overhaul of the organization.

Conclusion

The resurfacing of Johnny Rotten’s 1978 interview and his recent comments have once again brought the BBC’s cover-up of Jimmy Savile’s crimes to light. The organization has faced criticism for its handling of the situation and calls for reform have grown louder. It remains to be seen what actions the BBC will take in response to these allegations
