The BBC didn't ban him either, there's loads of footage of him on Jukebox Jury and ToTP with PiL in the years following 1978. He's always been a massive bullshitter and attention seeker.

In 1978 we were told by a certain MP that listening to this guy is more of a danger to communism or drugs for us young ones!!!.Ted Heath was the MP and he knew John Lydon knew about him and Saville and co...
@@MrSniperfox29 I wonder what he hoped to gain from this BBC interview in which he "did his bit" (to get back at Saville). I wonder why he never informed the police. I wonder if he is really much better himself? 🤔
@Pingu Wetone Agreed, complicity is a fact in the industry TV, music full stop they all see it and know it is happening. He said something but he said it on BBC radio knowing full well they wouldn't air it, so as you say he is no hero.
@Pingu Wetone Don't talk rubbish you ignorant twat,, John Lydon was trying to make a living, love or hate the guy, he said his bit, and as it happens it WAS "out there" he went as "public" as he dared, without being completely destroyed by the moster which is the BBC! The only private compant in the U.k. that extorts money from the general mpublic with government and police backing!!
My boss used to run a Rolls Royce dealership in the 70s. They supplied cars to Saville, always paid for completely by the BBC. The power he had, under the guise of his ‘charity’ work was unbelievable back in those days. Those poor abused must have felt they stood no chance - and they didn’t back then. Wish he’d been alive to face justice
Sorry to say this, still has not changed today. The power elite still haven immense power and still behave in sinister ways. Today they with the government control the msm and feed us lies and narratives.

@@marianng3950 please tell me how he would go about 'doing something' about it? Courts need evidence, strong evidence, not just rumour and gossip. Or did you just want Lydon to kill Saville?
For exactly the same reason why the BBC banned Johnny Rotten from naming Saville all those many years ago. Legal reasons. Worried about being sued for slander. Not wanting to "displease" certain powerful people who can shut them down, and make sure they never work again. It hasn't stopped. The same self-interest that kept people from acting on the "rumours" about Saville remains firmly in place. Whoever these "others" are, no-one wants to be the accuser - for the consequences of what happens to your own life, if you wrongly accuse (or, quite frankly, even when you rightfully accuse). So this builds this "wall of silence" behind which people like Saville operate, and they continue to do so. Piers - and his media darlings - want you to take interviews like this as if they're some kind of "truth and reconciliation" to an ugly past that's now gone. To morally virtue signal their awesomeness, as they like to periodically do with a regular "moral panic" from their newspaper columns. But Rotten is letting us know - putting "the others" out there and no-one's asking for names - that it's all still happening, and the media is still erecting that "wall of silence" to protect these people. It hasn't stopped. Nothing has really changed. The broken system - everyone's collective self-interest - still implicitly ends up protecting these people.
"The BBC is appalled by Jimmy Saville's behaviour..." Then why did it take *30 years* to act? I applied to go on 'Jim'll fix it' in the late 80's - the BBC put me, and countless others, at risk. Defund them *now.*
My father worked for the BBC throughout this period and he would tell us of the really nasty stories around Saville. He said the senior management were well aware and decided it would be too embarrassing to have it come out. It’s not just the perpetrators who should be in jail, but also their enablers
This is the exact same at celtic 6 employees have now been convicted with more to come. Celtic never went to the police as they had to keep the celtic name "clean". They even took one paedo back years later after he had been originally sacked for molesting young boys. To this day celtic have not apologised and have came out with the nothing to do with us rhetoric, utterly shameful.

the BBC have a history of lying and cover ups - they began lying to the whole country in 1952 about TV Detector vans, this lie continued until the 1990s. nowadays they refuse to ackowledge the lie and what the vans actually did (they did nothing but act as a deterrent). they lied for years about how the money the tv licence collected was spent, they enriched executives and 'stars' by huge amounts. they covered up for people like saville and dave lee travis purely for greed.
Why didn't Piers ask him to name the others ? He conveniently moved on. We can only assume that Piers was willing to air this as long as Saville was gone by then but he wasn't willing to speak of the living ones. That tells you the power they hold over Piers and many others.
The others he mentioned weren’t necessarily paedos. If you find the full radio clip it’s just him and that woman talking shit about random celebs he’d jokingly like to kill in his usual punk patter before he highlights Saville
@@g.s.1722 during the discussion the guy mentions “a whole bunch of them” meaning there are more pedo’s that he knows of that are yet to be exposed. Piers doesn’t ask him who they are.

@@MrSniperfox29 Sorry to break it to you, hun', but that's not how it works in the real world. Saville had a ridiculous number of well-placed, highly important people protecting his rep and shielding every disgusting move he made from the pubic eye - Saville openly bragged about that in many interviews he did (check out his last one with Louis Theroux, for example.) Johnny could've screamed the truth from the rooftops, through a high-powered megaphone, in the middle of Piccadilly Circus, and not only would he have been in serious legal trouble but enough of Saville's goons would've banded to together to permanently ruin his life, professionally and personally. And then you know what else would've happened? Because of the hatchet job done on Johnny to silence him, that would've a) made it ten times more difficult for anyone else to have the courage to make accusations against Saville, and b) Saville would've had even MORE power to abuse kids and women, because now he could silence them with "See, Johnny Rotten tried to expose me, and look what happened to HIM, so it's pointless YOU telling anyone what I'm doing to you, because no-one will believe you if they didn't believe him, a famous punk star." One lone voice like Johnny's would never have been enough to take Saville down; it needed an army of voices, all speaking the same thing together. Johnny knew that, which makes him pretty damn brave for even trying - but as soon as he was met with a wall of silence from everyone else who COULD'VE backed him up and stood with him (but chose not to,) he knew he had no chance of being taken seriously. You can't ask one soldier to win a war singlehandedly, and you definitely have no right to condemn him for failing to do so.
Absolutely love Johnny rotten. Spoke the truth the whole time. At least his conscience must be clear and as a parent myself I hope to god that Saville and his mates are burning in hell for what he/ they did.
Piers "It's shocking.. he got away with it for another 30 years" Johnny "Not only him but a whole bunch of them & these were the purveyors of good taste" Piers "You were too offensive" Interview stubbles on.... How about asking him "who else?"
I would say that the whole thing about this conspiracy is that is reasonable for people to assume that it's extremely dangerous to talk about it, assuming that the rumours are true and such.
he would have said Bill Wyman from the rolling stones [Mandy Smith who he married was a 13 yr old when he started dating her openly, [[those were the days when the rich /powerful & famous lived as they pleased , while we lived by the rules ]] , , Pete Townsend from the ''who'' etc .. then he would have finished saying Prince Charles ..........Prince Charles was Jimmy Savile's great friend ... Prince Andrew is Jeffery Epstein's great friend go figure ..them rich & powerful peados stick together like glue .... Bill Wyman was questioned a couple of yrs back but never arrested , Pete Townsend went into peado sites to do research he told the judge , lol no jail for him ???
Well he wants to keep his job at the cost of his soul. Also it's hard to say names without proper evidence as you'll be destroyed even if you are right. These pedos in positions know what they are doing and lnow how to cover their tracks while knowing skeletons of other people.
'Cigar muncher' I'm sorry but that's amazing, I love it also can you just imagine what this must have been like for Johnny, to know that an extremely popular man such as Jimmy Saville was doing the most vulgar things but nobody believed him and you're completely powerless to stop him, it must've been and still must be an absolutely gut-wrenching thing, I don't know how I would have coped if I knew someone was a peadophile and nobody believed me and I had to carry on like nothing was happening
I love that one could get away with such epithets as "Cigar Muncher" even as late as back then. Try it nowadays and you'll be banished to the outer layer of hell for being politically incorrect and criticizing the uncriticizable -- the other permissible lifestyle. One must stick to the script! PC is the only way. Political Correctness has ended our freedom of speech.
You've got it in one, Miss Laura. Why do you think so many people develop addictions, self harm, suicide? That horrible knowledge and gut-wrenching powerlessness you mention is a very common experience for most people who've been abused in this way. It is so much more prevalent than society likes to admit.
Someone in the comments of another Savile video said his school growing up was next to the broadcast building where Jimmy did his shows and they would see his cigar poking through the fence looking at the kids regularly
When the Sex Pistols burst on the scene, they were condemned by the establishment as the worlds worst, 'The Filth And The Fury' screamed the Sun headlines. Yet it was Saville, the national treasure, doer of good deeds, charity worker and friend of royalty who was far more dangerous. When Johnny Rotten tried to speak out about Saville he was silenced. How ironic this is.
And they even gave that monster a knighthood, knowing full-well what he had done. The establishment are disgusting. The real heroes are the normal common folk like Johnny Rotten.

I worked for a Home care company based in Leeds. All the staff were told, if you have to go into the building Jimmy Saville lives in, don’t get in the lift with him. Everyone in Leeds knew what he was like, but it was still the days when you just avoided those sort of people. The police wouldn’t have done anything if women had reported him because it would never have got to court or into the papers. He had too many friends in high places.

It's incredible how the BBC was never prosecuted against and held accountable for so many cover ups. Even more incredible is how they still operate today!? Such a cold cold world 😥
They are literally funded and run by the government payed for by taxes with an air of impartiality, when really they do as their pay masters bidding. They have no competition, no customers to compete for, it is an endless gravy train of funding whatever the heck they want to do and there is not a jot anyone can do about it expect stop paying the license fee.

Investigate, demand changes in process and all the rest, but why ‘prosecute’? What are you hoping to do, put the BBC in prison? Or fine it - what a waste of what is essentially taxpayers money..
If everyone stopped paying the licence fee the bbc would surely collapse as a organisation! But it wont happen because too many idiots still pay it and respect the bbc!
They completely tried to cover it up and we shouldn't trust them at all. The BBC and the royal family worry me greatly. As does childline and various other charities. The "elite" underbelly in the UK was clearly absolutely disgusting and I'm pretty sure it still is.
In the early 80's, i asked my parents if i could send letter to Jimmy Saville, i wanted to drive a tank, my dad replied "your not sending anything to that kiddie fidler" it stuck in my mind as i didn't really know what it ment, it was well known about his antics!
A guy i know in his 50s has since told me a few years ago that he used to watch jim'll fix it as a young teen..But his parents 100% refused to let him go on the show or write in. Because for years. The guy's parents said that they found savile's appearence and behaviour on television suspicous.....How right they were
A mate of mine met Saville at a wedding in Glencoe and described him as being a "Sleazy old bastard" I think that every time I saw comedian Jerry Sadowitz live when Saville was still alive, he made reference to Savile being a nonce. He has his stuff removed from CZcams, but there was a clip of him from 1987, saying they should get Saville in as an expert on child abuse for the Cleveland Enquiry!
I don't think it was well known. Paedophilia wasn't really discussed back then and we didn't have social media to spread the word. Maybe your dad just picked up on a vibe. He was 100% right though.

Exactly and how convenient the documents disappeared that was part of investigation of UK Parliament members. The establishment are so guilty. Explains many things and how policians are so corrupt because these people (are they really people?) are dirty and controllable. It runs deep, far and wide on a global scale. I am sure they traffick people as well, they with intelligence services are behind this. They used to and probably still are responsible for global drug trade as we know Afghanistan helped with that also. Reported recently in UK media how an MI6 officer was not prosecuted for being a paedophile. It is most likely very institutionalised standard behaviour and how the globalists control their assets they implant in power. Of course those people that investigated this thoroughly many decades ago were dismissed and labelled conspiracy theorists and some wrongly imprisoned to silence them. There are hundreds of now proven fact conspiracy theories and yet the media and people simply don't care. The media is there to form, shape and control the narrative that influences people's thinking process, to maintain the status quo, but things are getting worse and the elites are desperate to maintain and expand consolidated powers. They won't let us leave the EU if they can help it. Trust none of them.

Saville was so powerful and worth so much to the BBC that he could do anything thing he wanted and no one could touch him. Though he touched any one HE wanted.......
Allowed it to continue ? ! Its not like he was the perpetrator, wot tha fuck was he supposed to do ? Go to the police? PLENTY of others knew but they are the ones that did NOTHING at least he actually said something
A family friend worked for the BBC & she told my mum in the early 80’s that Jimmy Saville used to get young boys to “sit on his lap”. It seems the BBC knew about this but staff such as the family friend were powerless to do anything. The family friend died in the 90’s but my mum was still alive when we heard the news & watched documentaries on him. It was mum that told me about the family friend & Saville. Mum was speechless & we both knew the family friend wouldn’t have made this up.

It was a rotten thing to do!!!!
@Pingu Wetone Agreed, complicity is a fact in the industry TV, music full stop they all see it and know it is happening. He said something but he said it on BBC radio knowing full well they wouldn't air it, so as you say he is no hero.
@Pingu Wetone Don't talk rubbish you ignorant twat,, John Lydon was trying to make a living, love or hate the guy, he said his bit, and as it happens it WAS "out there" he went as "public" as he dared, without being completely destroyed by the moster which is the BBC! The only private compant in the U.k. that extorts money from the general mpublic with government and police backing!!
A very good question indeed
They didn't ban him.
My boss used to run a Rolls Royce dealership in the 70s. They supplied cars to Saville, always paid for completely by the BBC. The power he had, under the guise of his ‘charity’ work was unbelievable back in those days. Those poor abused must have felt they stood no chance - and they didn’t back then. Wish he’d been alive to face justice
They didnt get justice not one of them. The BBC got away with it aswell as they did with Ian Watkins. What a vile corrupt disgusting world we live in

He gave Piers 2 opportunities to ask who the 'others' were and he never did... Why?
well if you have followed Piers' career so far you'd know the guy can't take a clue (and normally doesn't have one :D )
For exactly the same reason why the BBC banned Johnny Rotten from naming Saville all those many years ago.
Legal reasons. Worried about being sued for slander. Not wanting to "displease" certain powerful people who can shut them down, and make sure they never work again.
It hasn't stopped. The same self-interest that kept people from acting on the "rumours" about Saville remains firmly in place. Whoever these "others" are, no-one wants to be the accuser - for the consequences of what happens to your own life, if you wrongly accuse (or, quite frankly, even when you rightfully accuse). So this builds this "wall of silence" behind which people like Saville operate, and they continue to do so.
Piers - and his media darlings - want you to take interviews like this as if they're some kind of "truth and reconciliation" to an ugly past that's now gone. To morally virtue signal their awesomeness, as they like to periodically do with a regular "moral panic" from their newspaper columns.
But Rotten is letting us know - putting "the others" out there and no-one's asking for names - that it's all still happening, and the media is still erecting that "wall of silence" to protect these people. It hasn't stopped. Nothing has really changed. The broken system - everyone's collective self-interest - still implicitly ends up protecting these people.
Why didn't rotten just come out with it ?
He kept what he really knew to himself in the end
@@klaxoncow so true m8..sad

And the queen knighted him. You'd think MI5 would know if Johnny knew!
My father worked for the BBC throughout this period and he would tell us of the really nasty stories around Saville. He said the senior management were well aware and decided it would be too embarrassing to have it come out.
It’s not just the perpetrators who should be in jail, but also their enablers
This is the exact same at celtic 6 employees have now been convicted with more to come. Celtic never went to the police as they had to keep the celtic name "clean". They even took one paedo back years later after he had been originally sacked for molesting young boys. To this day celtic have not apologised and have came out with the nothing to do with us rhetoric, utterly shameful.

the BBC have a history of lying and cover ups - they began lying to the whole country in 1952 about TV Detector vans, this lie continued until the 1990s. nowadays they refuse to ackowledge the lie and what the vans actually did (they did nothing but act as a deterrent). they lied for years about how the money the tv licence collected was spent, they enriched executives and 'stars' by huge amounts. they covered up for people like saville and dave lee travis purely for greed.
Why didn't Piers ask him to name the others ? He conveniently moved on. We can only assume that Piers was willing to air this as long as Saville was gone by then but he wasn't willing to speak of the living ones. That tells you the power they hold over Piers and many others.
Naming names publicly without unequivocal evidence is defamation of character and can then be inadmissible in court.
The others he mentioned weren’t necessarily paedos. If you find the full radio clip it’s just him and that woman talking shit about random celebs he’d jokingly like to kill in his usual punk patter before he highlights Saville

@@MrSniperfox29 Sorry to break it to you, hun', but that's not how it works in the real world.
Saville had a ridiculous number of well-placed, highly important people protecting his rep and shielding every disgusting move he made from the pubic eye - Saville openly bragged about that in many interviews he did (check out his last one with Louis Theroux, for example.) Johnny could've screamed the truth from the rooftops, through a high-powered megaphone, in the middle of Piccadilly Circus, and not only would he have been in serious legal trouble but enough of Saville's goons would've banded to together to permanently ruin his life, professionally and personally. And then you know what else would've happened? Because of the hatchet job done on Johnny to silence him, that would've a) made it ten times more difficult for anyone else to have the courage to make accusations against Saville, and b) Saville would've had even MORE power to abuse kids and women, because now he could silence them with "See, Johnny Rotten tried to expose me, and look what happened to HIM, so it's pointless YOU telling anyone what I'm doing to you, because no-one will believe you if they didn't believe him, a famous punk star."
One lone voice like Johnny's would never have been enough to take Saville down; it needed an army of voices, all speaking the same thing together. Johnny knew that, which makes him pretty damn brave for even trying - but as soon as he was met with a wall of silence from everyone else who COULD'VE backed him up and stood with him (but chose not to,) he knew he had no chance of being taken seriously. You can't ask one soldier to win a war singlehandedly, and you definitely have no right to condemn him for failing to do so.
The fact that he says just one of them and Morgan doesn’t even question who the others were is shady as f**k!!!
Or maybe he did but wasn’t allowed to air it
Naming names publicly without unequivocal evidence is defamation of character and can then be inadmissible in court.
all while he does some nervous dry swallowing. Morgan's body language speaks volumes on this clip.

Prince Andrew is Jeffery Epstein's great friend go figure ..them rich & powerful peados stick together like glue .... Bill Wyman was questioned a couple of yrs back but never arrested , Pete Townsend went into peado sites to do research he told the judge , lol no jail for him ???

I swear you can just tell with some people, theres a certain look about them.
I love Johnny rotten. I have so much respect for him. He really is one of my favourite people. I'd love to sit and chat to him
He wopuld tear you apart, heart & soul, PS John Lydon is his name.
@@alimantado373 perfectly aware of his real name. But he'll always be Johnny rotten to me!
This man is a Legend and is respected in Jamaica,
John´s smarter than most in this room. Look at how he baits Morgan and the audience, saying things he knows they´ll applaud, then watching the room squirm as he practically offers them names, but it´s swiftly moved away from. He´s a good bloke, and he knows damn well he´s sitting across from one of the lackies of the Murdoch empire...
@@MrHarrystank I can't even explain how much I enjoyed reading that. Nice to know there are still some actual sentient people out there. Legend. 😌👍
Ursula Georgeson .. yes, yes and yes
@@MrHarrystank yeah yada yada yada. You comment on society so generally and ignorantly. You may look at the world in these ways but I assure you the "society" you're looking at is just a bunch of people just trying to struggle through life, like you. Being honest is good, being a rude blunt arsehole is bad. For someone so enlightened I thought that would be obvious. Pathetic writing your life story in a youtube comment. Started your comment, had to finish, wish I didn't.
@@MrHarrystank Global problems aren't "society". Fuck sake get a grip go for a walk.
@@MrHarrystank when it comes to concepts like this, most of the world's population ARE children when compared to people like you and i. Most people have never even thought on this level before. Most people can't even comprehend it. What are you going to do? It's not something to disrespect them for. You just have to go about YOUR life and forget them. Sounds harsh but it's that or dwell on it like it's something you can fix. And trust me it's not and trust me you sound like a pessimistic twat when you try to preach these things.
Saville knew enough to bring the whole house of cards down...hence his outing after death
How so right you are....
Prince Andrew...
Exactly and how convenient the documents disappeared that was part of investigation of UK Parliament members. The establishment are so guilty. Explains many things and how policians are so corrupt because these people (are they really people?) are dirty and controllable. It runs deep, far and wide on a global scale. I am sure they traffick people as well, they with intelligence services are behind this. They used to and probably still are responsible for global drug trade as we know Afghanistan helped with that also. Reported recently in UK media how an MI6 officer was not prosecuted for being a paedophile. It is most likely very institutionalised standard behaviour and how the globalists control their assets they implant in power. Of course those people that investigated this thoroughly many decades ago were dismissed and labelled conspiracy theorists and some wrongly imprisoned to silence them. There are hundreds of now proven fact conspiracy theories and yet the media and people simply don't care. The media is there to form, shape and control the narrative that influences people's thinking process, to maintain the status quo, but things are getting worse and the elites are desperate to maintain and expand consolidated powers. They won't let us leave the EU if they can help it. Trust none of them.
Child trafficking for 'Elite' paedos + Organ harvesting. Global Arms trade, Global drug trade. Manufactured wars to enable it all. Weather manipulation + Geo-engineering. The 'Death grip' of Usury. MSM aiding & abetting.. & if individuals try to expose any of it, yes, compromised+blackmailed. Or 'suicided'... Where the fck do we go from here.?
@@organichuman And now all the crazies are out turning this into a global conspiracy. Go back under your rock please.
The truth always comes out in the end, even though it would sometimes take a long time. This man is a legend. God bless him.
Best interview of all time. Mr.Lydon you are a decent Human being and a gentleman. Xx
The BBC is more guilty than the Paedophiles for sweeping it under the carpet, why have the BBC not been prosecuted for obstructing the course of justice !!!!!
Because on what we know from this, the BBC almost certainly did not commit a criminal offence. What is the one you have in mind?
@@doubledee9675 they must have known.
@@anthonyrthomasuk What "must" they have known? Assuming that they did know of allegations, how does that amount to an offence of obstructing? If you're alleging criminal conduct you have to be precise.
Ironically if the BBC had legal action taken against them they would use licence fee money to fight it.
@@anthonyrthomasuk And who are the "they"? The BBC is a corporation, a person at law, but not human.
John is such a lovely guy. We bumped into him while supermarket shopping in Malibu when we used to live in Topanga in 2017. As a huge long term fan I wasn’t sure what to expect but he was so friendly. We chatted about all kinds of things in the car park then took lots of photos. Johnny ‘Rotten’ ? The exact opposite !!!
Oh i am envious.he is one person i,d love to meet.he,s a great guy.
Malibu FLA ? or CA ???
that's gorgeous, it must have been a highlight in life, and reaffirming too. Thanks for sharing 🌟
@@peneleapai The Topanga Canyon area is in California, dear.
Just a human,being,with decency and love in his heart!!!!!!!
thought so for years! he aint rotten hes a pussycat! jus tells the truth! could weep for him now watching him selflessly caring for his beloved wife
This is why I lost call respect for Esther Rantzen. When it all came out she said they all knew. She didn’t speak up until until after it was public knowledge. She happily worked for the BBC and collected her pay cheque from them. I guess she thought setting up Child Line was enough. I’ve always like Johnny but know I have a new level of respect for him.
Childline was a front organisation
Esther was involved easy access to kids 😡😢
Esther ruined many businesses with her sometimes ill guided moral crusades, pity she didn’t devote her time to the serious issues.
Saville was so powerful and worth so much to the BBC that he could do anything thing he wanted and no one could touch him. Though he touched any one HE wanted.......
Thanks Johnny, you are an inspiration and a thoroughly decent fella . . . good luck mate !!
Definitely an inspiration, he didn't do anything, didn't stop anything, allowed it to continue for another decade or so, but definitely an inspiration
@@MrSniperfox29 you have made your point mate now shut up
Allowed it to continue ? ! Its not like he was the perpetrator, wot tha fuck was he supposed to do ?
Go to the police?
PLENTY of others knew but they are the ones that did NOTHING
at least he actually said something
Well in Johnny Lydon. Respect mate, respect.
A family friend worked for the BBC & she told my mum in the early 80’s that Jimmy Saville used to get young boys to “sit on his lap”. It seems the BBC knew about this but staff such as the family friend were powerless to do anything. The family friend died in the 90’s but my mum was still alive when we heard the news & watched documentaries on him. It was mum that told me about the family friend & Saville. Mum was speechless & we both knew the family friend wouldn’t have made this up.
My nephew was sacked from as carpenter on the set of Rolf Harris because he called that pedo out,that was I TV studios in Southampton.he was right when he told us that Harris was a smallie boy-girl merchant.
Weldone amazing Johnny, all those people covering up should have been ashamed of themselves
Why was Jimmy Saville protected, makes you think “How deep does this malignant culture go?”.
Mrs Thatcher's person friend for one.
This was the BBC in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s where the ‘stars’ had more ‘control’ than the actual’controllers’
All the way to the Royal family by all accounts.
Freemason perhaps?
@@RedDevil66991 Conservative Party
He's a hero, I've always seen him as a real true hearted person. Did any of you see him talking just after we tragically lost Keith? It was wonderful. He's a good guy
keith who?
I'm gonna take a punt at Keith Flint
He's an incredible man .. love John Lydon.
Johnny's got more integrity under his toenails than any of them.
“Not only him a whole bunch of them.” Go on piers, ask him who else. No piers? Can’t have that on your platform. You’re a coward!!
Yeah what a missed chance!!
Its fucking piers Morgan why the fuck would he ever do it he’s a dickhead and a hypocrite too
@Liberty AboveAllElse yup, nailed it on the head. its a sad terrible tragedy how broken the system is.
@Liberty AboveAllElse and don't forget Trump and his toxic greedy family...all the powerful rich people are the same whichever political persuasion!
@Liberty AboveAllElse sad to hear that..hope one day you see the truth!
John has always been brutally honest, before his time. hes fascinating and a treasure. 💯👋👋
He sure as crap called that one. You can't be more right than this.
He's a very lucky man is Johnny and his wife. They were an hour late for their flight to NY. This was the Pan Am flight that exploded over Lockerbie. Very very lucky man.
That's a bit like when Sony music wanted to meet Michael Jackson In the twin towers Rite when it went down.
Nothing suss.
Funny talking about hypocrites when he’s talking to the guy that was editor at large during the phone hacking days.
@Yokai369 but it is funny because it’s hypocritical...
@Yokai369 it's not a fallacy at all because he didn't say either party wasn't a hypocrite. He just said it was funny, which it is, because a dishonest person like Piers Morgan calling anyone else a hypocrite for dishonest behaviour is hypocritical in itself
indeed
Arhhh that phone hacking crap when on far an age, unless you're a celebrity that got hacked nobody gives a fuck
@Yokai369 Those don't equate. His claim that Piers is a hypocrite is secondary, and backed by secondary evidence.
My dad was on Jim’ll Fix It and he was absolutely mortified when he found out what he had done and what could’ve happened to him
Your dad had a narrow escape there. People knew about savile even then. One guy l know told me he could never understand why his parents would'nt let him go on jim'll fix it as a young teen. And told me afterwards...Now he knows why...
@@nikreece6295 ah yeahh. The kids certainly didn’t but it was the Cubs surprise for my dads 10th bday for him to be on.
I like Johnny Rotten a huge amount. Give me honesty every time!
John Lydon is a gifted bloke and way ahead of his time.
Absolute legend. So much respect for him.
"The truth is like a lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself."
Just never give it a reason to want to eat you.

Narcissistic sociopaths are celebrated, yet they destroy the innocent and those who try and save the innocent.
Many more to be exposed. Well done Johnny for speaking truth though it cost your career. God avenges 🔥
Conspiracy Theories should now be called Spoiler Alerts
The BBC looks after it`s own !
No accountability.
You mean the Queen?
kinda like CNN, actually exactly like CNN. just look into some of the sick shit that has come out about the garbage that lurks amongst that bunch.
GOOD FOR JOHNNY SHOWING HOW ROTTEN THINGS ARE AND WERE. SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS OUT AND THE POWERS TO BE TRY TO SILENCE..
Just watched the Netflix Doco on this and it’s chilling how there were so many times right on camera that showed the monster behind the mask and somehow he kept Getting away with it. He preyed in the most vulnerable and made sure he got in with the most powerful to shield him. Like this many people raised concerns but were silenced.
He was objectively correct as well. Any cultured individual will know that libel is written, slander is spoken.
If it's published, including via TV or radio, it's classed as libel.
But it's not libel if it's true, which I believe was Lydon's point.
Kudos to Johnny Rotten, never a fan, but the Man deserves so much respect
I could feel the pain in his expression. Bless him.
Thats the voice of Vivian Goldman asking the questions. Respect to him for calling it.
Hes always been right.
Very intelligent man, love listening to him talk, looks and sees things from a totally differnt perspective.
Makes me think, and not many are capable of that.
The biggest question is why wasnt anyone "allowed" to talk about Jimmy Saville's crimes. The answer is easy .... 👑
You mean the royal family?
Sorry, I'm not fluent in pictograms. Was under the impression that we invented writing to replace that.
@@mitchtherevolution Maggie Thatcher and the rest of the "ruling classes" Saville knew too much. It's a wonder he did not "commit suicide" like Jeffrey Epstein
@christian macri Spot on was knighted in 1990 after being outed.
@@mitchtherevolution haha
@@mitchtherevolution
Not fluent in pictograms yet you still clocked on, amazing. Nothing gets past you does it
I love you Johnny! Always spoke his mind!
Took 40 years for the truth to come out hoping julian Assange doesn't take that long would love johnny to speak up for him
Imagine everything eles they keep hidden form the public and just watch our children be abused. The whole system is corrupted
“Nothing I’ve said is Libel...”
Best quote I ever heard was from this man, "I'm not here for your entertainment, you are here for mine".
Utter respect.I was a wannabe punk in Glasgow and worshipped the Sex Pistols . You are a highly articulate man who has been hideously misunderstood. You had JS sussed from day one X
My God, the BBC ought to be ashamed of this. I would have been absolutely spitting mad if I was in Johnny's position
Covering one anothers arses..pun intended.
Absolutely Disgusting.....this needs sorting !
The bbc isn’t anybody
Ignore the click bait. Lydon wasn't banned by the BBC. He appeared after the Saville interview several times on Top of the Pops, Old Grey Whistle Test, Juke Box Jury, did several interviews on BBC Radio 1, recently appeared in a Sex Pistols Christmas special etc, etc etc.
