SUCK UP THAT GRAVY!

The Gravy Wars seem to be hotting up, with one of the Kray brothers deciding to put his tuppence-worth in. He made a statement, which said...er...not a lot really. Still, it appeared to rile up the Follow Follow brigade, prompting them to call Ronnie and Reggie every name under the sun. This, in turn, has got the hackles rising of Bill McMurdo's followers. It'll all end in tears!

The McMurdo faction were also up in arms about the Daily Record publishing a photo of Stockbridge's Big Hoose. Follow Follow is apparently being investigated by the police for encouraging violence, prompting McMurdo to put two and two together and accuse the DR of identifying the house so that 'the small minority' can attack it. Given that Stockbridge has already received the customary death threats he might have a point. He and his followers are full of righteous indignation. They hate violence, apparently.

Chris Graham's name comes into this frequently. Remember his 'Enemies of Rangers' website, where he seemed to encourage attacks on various people and places? When this was mentioned on McMurdo's website, however, it was not taken of proof of Graham's sleekitness; instead, it was joked about and ostensibly supported. It seems they only hate violence when it's against any of their own!

Leggat seems to be staying out of this lately, happy to delve about in history instead. On Saturday, however, he was seen leaving an antique bookshop in Glasgow, clutching a copy of the Malleus Maleficarum. McMurdo had better watch out!

Hugh Keevins in the Daily Record decided to try to keep the Bisto Kids onside by writing a piece about the Celtic shareholders' proposals concerning the SFA. His diatribe is reminiscent of Jabba at his worst, a kind of 'Who the Hell do you think you are' mark 2. The Daily Record seems determined to suck up to the Bisto Kids with their mock indignation at this. Strangely, they choose to ignore the Bisto Kids actually doing what Keevins accuses the Celtic shareholders of doing; ie trying to destroy another team. It's not like the Record to be so partisan, is it?

The 'splashing out' that the Record reported Stockbridge doing is nothing to the splashing out that the Bisto Kids did when they discovered a picture of Kevin Kelly, the erstwhile Celtic chairman, with Jimmy Savile. Of course, this prompted them to start speculating over 'links' between the two. In a rather disgusting and shameful move, the Daily Record website yesterday allowed a post on a story about Savile, asking if there was going to be an investigation into these so-called links. I tried to answer this, but was told 'your comment cannot be published at the moment.' This was the case the whole day. The fact that nobody else commented leads me to think that others encountered the same problem. I know this revolting rag is desperate to suck up to the Bisto Kids but this exhibits a new low.

A couple of years ago I was in Glencoe. We stopped off at the Kings House Hotel for a cup of tea. Around the hotel were pictures of Jimmy Savile, whose house was just a couple of miles away, posing with staff and guests. The staff I spoke to were not too forthcoming but the impression I got was that they couldn't stand the man and just put up with him because of all his charity work and because people expected it. Somehow, I doubt if those photos are still there. The reason I mention this is to point out that there are many thousands of people out there that had their picture taken with Jimmy Savile; are we, then, to have them investigated? Here are a few of the more famous faces.




There are a few rumours flying around about old Hed Teath, so maybe an investigation would not go amiss!




Apparently Savile was never away from Chequers when Thatcher was PM. I wonder what they talked about!
 
 
 

Well, he certainly wasn't partisan in his politics!




Oh, dear! There are many pictures of Savile with Charlie. They were very good friends, apparently.




Yes, he was well in with the Royal Family. Hopefully Wills and Harry were kept out of the way!




No bigoted statements from Phil The Greek here!
 
 
  
  
A strange-looking picture, this one, but it's the only one around of HM and Savile together. They met on numerous occasions but Auld Lizzie was shy of getting her picture taken with him. Did she know something?  
 
 


Surely not...? But, then, his daughter did marry Michael Jackson...



Well, I'd say there was plenty there for Operation Yewtree to be going on with. Some really dodgy characters among that lot. And if the police are going to investigate everybody that stood in front of a camera with Jimmy Savile then this inquiry is going to run for decades!




'Never mind shredding those documents - just make sure you get rid of that picture with me and Jimmy Savile!'
