Hundreds of people have benefited from the Charities JS helped fund, that is a fact. |

Was talking to a friend last night and he said "what a shame that all of Jimmy Saville's good works have been blighted by these claims" |

Money can't buy happiness but it can make a difficult and unhappy life a lot more comfortable. I'm sure anyone struggling on benefits would say more money would make them happier. |

How would you measure,abuse affecting your quality of life? You wouldn't know how you would have lived, had you not been abused. |

Gwynne I am not against compensation if the money redresses damage they have suffered. I think DET's points are excellent in this regard. |

I agree about not financially compensating Savile's vicitims, unless they can prove in this case that they have lost earning potential. |

I brought Max Clifford into this conversation but not for the reasons you assume John. |

John, why do you seem so against the victims getting compensation? |

Linda One of hounds imho is Max Clifford. I was thinking also of solicitors. The fox is anybody or any institution that they feel they can easily get money from. Family, chaities, BBC, NHS, executives who worked for BBC, NHS, friends. co-workers. |

The only hound & fox is Jimmy Saville himself. |

That makes perfect sense, Lynda. And it is surely the best outcome from this sorry mess. |

I imagine gathering all the information will take months, even years, as for any compensation, I doubt for many of those he abused, it's on the top of there list |

There seem to be 2 news stories that I cannot follow through (having lot of trouble with google). One was in November 2011 which talks about charities receiving the main monies from his 3 page will. That suggests it may have been proven then and charities have used some or all of his fortune in last 11 months. |

As regardig his will and charities getting most of his money, there has already been a case where a charity was left money in a will it was challenged and the charity was forced to pay it back. |

Regarding "Compensation" As I stated before,His Will should be frozen,any bequests that have been payed should be returned untill such times as things have been sorted out. As for sueing the BBC.Hospitals etc, It,s not the Institutions but the People who were in the know about what was happening that should be sued,because they let it happen and did not show due diligence as they should have.**M**. |

Could be that some of the young girls who had been molested did tell but were not believed. |
