    Everyone knew, but there was an injunction preventing UK media from naming him. The Guardian clearly had this story all ready to go the moment it was lifted:

    Never much liked Jimmy Saville when I was a kid. Never much liked Walliams either. Something just wrong about both of them.

    Not that I had any kind of flawless perspective on pervs, Rolf Harris was a bit of a surprise, as was The Prince Formerly Known As Andrew, though possibly because I never paid any attention to him at all.

    I've never heard of this man in my life. Should I have? It was being made a big deal of with all the articles about him not wanting to get named.
