- The Savile scandal is about children, not overpaid TV executives | Suzanne Moore | Comment is free | The Guardian
"whether a few highly paid TV executives get pensioned off is not my concern. That this predicament should shove aside the voices of the victims disgusts me. Now is the time to listen to those who work with children, to what they tell us about routine gang rape, about pain and anger directly, inwardly, and outwardly. I resent being told about the priorities of this story. For me it is about listening to the realities of young women's lives now, as well as those of Savile's victims. The abuse of power inherent in the phrase "just the women" rings as clear as a bell. You can choose to hear it, or not."
