Revealed: Secret letters sent from Prince Charles to Jimmy Savile begging paedophile DJ to ‘use his straightforward common sense’ to help royals with PR

Prince Charles wrote to depraved child rapist Jimmy Savile to ask him to help with the Royal Family’s ailing image – and boosting his own profile – after a series of PR disasters, newly released letters written by the heir to the throne over 20 years revealed today.

The Prince of Wales lavished praise on the predatory paedophile’s ‘straightforward common sense’ and asked him for advice on improving speeches and helping him with public visits to charities. Charles also asked Savile to advise his sister in law Sarah, the Duchess of York and her gaffe-prone husband Prince Andrew.

The TV star, later revealed to be one of Britain’s worst child abusers who also bragged about performing sex acts on corpses in hospital morgues and stealing glass eyes from the dead for jewellery, even drew up a media relations handbook for Charles, according to the royal’s letters.

SIU says it can’t be bothered to investigate after police horses trampled woman cuz she was only slightly injured

“As the woman did not sustain a ‘serious injury’ within the terms of the SIU’s mandate, the SIU does not have statutory jurisdiction to investigate the matter.”

A 49-year-old woman injured when a police mounted unit moved through a crowd of demonstrators during the Ottawa occupation suffered only a shoulder strain in the encounter, Ontario’s Special Investigation Unit says.

The SIU investigated the Feb. 18 incident, but said Monday that the woman’s injuries were not serious enough to warrant its further involvement. The SIU is an independent civilian agency that investigates deaths and serious injuries involving police.
