Esther Rantzen to be made a Dame in New Year Honours list

by sallypelt on 28.12.14 1:22

It makes me want to throw up. Let's have a little reminder of this "upstanding" woman who the British establishment believes is worthy of a gong.

When questioned about the most prolific, filthiest paedophile this country has ever known, this is what this woman, who is honoured in recognition for her services to Childline, said:

Rantzen admitted that she "heard the rumours at the time, referring to it as 'green room gossip', the implication being that it was classier to ignore it"

So, there you have it. It's "classier" to ignore child abuse, and in doing so, one gets made a dame.

Where ARE we going????

Absolutely appalling decision , to me personally the honours list means nothing these days very few deserve deserve the titles bestowed on them , looking back through history at some of the greats then comparing it to the celebrities of today ...its both tragic and farcical... A true indicator of what this country has become. sad

All I can say is PAH and more PAH.

Odd that Rantzen set up Child Line but could not see what was right under her nose as it were.

She knew.

She bloody knew.

I'd whack her with my handbag -

Not much of a surprise really Brenda and TPTB welcoming another wrong un into the fold.

Rancid's 'mates' (at the BBC at the time) J Pacman, Janet SP, next, on the 'gravy train'?

JP AND SP both knew, KNEW, about Savile, Hall, Harris, Clifford!

How do we know they 'knew'?

Because they bloody well told us, on 'record'!

They all 'knew' about child 'abuse' at the BBC........and they ALL did 'NOTHING'!

Give 'em a 'gong' that'll keep their 'gobs' firmly SHUT!

They will be 'one of us'!

'Dame' Rancid to 'run' child 'abuse' inquiry?

That would suit TM 'down to the ground'!

"Can't find nuffing, Theresa'

"Good girl Es!"

"Move on, plebs, nuffink to see here"

IMO the reason she set up Child Line was that her conscience kept pricking her because she did **** all about Savile at the time when she could have done.

But hell give her a gong for services for, 'not rocking the boat'.

Appalling decision.

Sickening but not in the least bit surprising.

This individual has made my skin crawl since I was a child myself watching "That's Life" and her other regular appearances on tv. I used to think she was a very poor taste female impersonater.

I recall reading on a forum a few years ago about Rantzen's garden parties at her Hampstead home and also her country residence and how quite often there were underage person's there imbibing alcohol etc along with her powerful friends.

A pack of sordid lies, I am sure.

Esther is, after all, interested in children from a purely protective urge.

by **PeterMac** on 28.12.14 16:05

SIR Terry Wogan also knew all about Savile, and said nothing.
They all did.

Just read that old rancid had a relationship with the late Sir Nicholas Fairbairn...who has been accused of raping a 4 year old and who is also allegedly linked with Elm House.

Esther and her campaigns for children....the campaign for rubber mats in playgrounds etc. I can remember them. Then came Childline - Saint Esther was born - all part of the good old BBC - that's Buggering Boy Children btw.

Esther has moved onto a campaign for loneliness now. There's nothing worse than being lonely when you're a child and you're sexually/physically abused - absolutely nothing.

Esther has left the realms of spearheading Childline, supports her mates at the BBC, has spoken up (please correct me if I'm wrong) on behalf of a certain popular artist who sang about crying, walking, sleeping, talking, living dolls.

Esther has been made a dame!

It could get even worst -- if Kate is made dame, if ever !

Those morons that nominate people for knighthood, dame and honour rolls, are thick as thieves.

Dame Joan Collins.

Why?

70s porn films?

"Patron" of children's charities.

PR.. they all do it.

Does she actually roll her sleeves up?

She is best known for the Stud and the Bitch, also being a bitch in Dynasty and chocolate adverts.

I hate these crappy awards.

She's not even a good actress.

Here's the full list of 'gongers' 2015.

Apologies if I'm drifting slightly off topic but I notice Matt Baggott, former Chief Constable of Leics Police is in there. He's now being knighted.

When asked about her 'relationship' with Jimmy Savile, during her 25 year 'career' at the BBC, Dame Rancid replied 'Jimmy who?'

She added, cryptically,

"Actually, strangely, I can't recall EVER having met the UK's most prolific child abuser, Jimmy Savile, when i worked at the BBC, for all those years, at the same time he did' said the recently honoured Dame.

"Do you have any photographic evidence, that i did?" she asked, curtly.

We showed her our 'evidence'.

And then, using language, more associated with a 'chav', than a Dame, she muttered 'bugger, bugger, bugger'

She is just joining a long list of other Lords, Ladies, Dames and sirs that we know.

Lord Levy - arrested in cash for honours scandal
Lord McAlpine

Sir Richard Branson - Missing people
Sir Cliff Richard - Missing people and Elm lodge
Sir Jimmy Saville - padeophile
Sir Cyril Smith

Lady Catherine Meyer - PACT scandal

Dame Vivien Duffield

All the honoured guests at ELM Lodge and the Spartacus club members

I am sure that there are many more that can added to this list. The only thing that needs to change is the meaning of the word "honoured"

I wonder how many honoured people are actually honourable

I wonder how some of these people got these honours in the first place. Is this still going on? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash_for_Honours
