Last night in the UK Sir Jimmy Saville was debated on the radio show the moral maze.
1) He did raise a lot for charity, including barnados however the English law on consent is clear at 16 soince teh nineteenth century when it was raised from 13 owing to illnesses and workhouse poverty in the industrial towns and polluted wells in the capital affecting growth
2) His dream making for a lot of now adults may now be shatterred
3) He abused his position of chaplain volunteer
4) The hospital was designed for children who had rare conditions (such as premature overgrowth and development) based on lessons learned from the 1948 paralympiad
5) The scots law of consent at 14 and marriage at 16 does not negate from this
6) All of which means that if he did what he is alleged to have done (namely abused a English Statutory minor while in a vulnerable position under treatment) He should have been investigated and tried.
7) However the BBC is a corporate institution with a reputation to protect like any other and its internal investigations unit may have been silenced. Staff on final salary pensions who have seen that happen may have felt fearful of their families futures and not reported it to the police.
That is the best explanation that can be offerred without recourse to chaplaincy
also regarding the papal knighthood and allegations of necrophilia, the honour may have been made becasue he was very good at extreme CPR and could revive patients in teh operating theatre (the job of chaplaincy volunteers and nurses in surgery if so trained). Its a way for volunteers to help with others and receive medical care as part of their service to teh community.

with chaplaincy.
ReplyDeleteWhile historically other faith and christian denominations have allowedfor people tosettle and be betrothed prior to 16, the post 1945 settlement put allhousing into the state sector and a housing register to be created for now part rent part buy housing.
This requires education and training so that they earn livings and contribute within society or do voluntary work unless incapacitated from so doing (as under the Un charter of humanrights,womens declaration and the European convention we are all entitled to settle and start families) which is why EMA or free travel is important for them.
If that was alittle harsh comment I'm sorry as it sets out the workings of the state. Chaplaincy is regulated by the church of england and military to the Queen using signals as well.
