www.ufmag.biz ver since a child abuse network was
uncovered operating on the famous
Groucho Clubs own members
forum, the BBC alleged child abuse
scandal that has hit the headlines
and has now become a threat to the existence
of the BBC itself. Allegations of child abuse
now incorporate two inquiries at the BBC
and a Police investigation that involves
hundreds of complaints against celebrities
and a series of arrests have taken place.
The scandal bears an uncanny similarity
to another
recent exposé
of child abuse
in the UK.
The discovery
that the UK
Media Haunt: the Groucho Club, had one
of the the largest child abuse networks in
UK history operating on the clubs online
members only forum which was covered
up. Despite the network operating with
complete impunity for almost a year on
the members’ forum, where children as
young as 7 years old were sold for sex.
We now come full circle, and over a year and
a half later, one of the UK’s most well-known
and respected institutions is also under attack
over child abuse allegations and another
alleged cover-up. This time it’s the UK’s own
BBC that has been rocked by allegations that
children were abused at the BBC’s own studios
in London by a host of celebrities. The recent
avalanche of allegations followed claims by a
woman who alleges that she witnessed the
BBC celebrity presenter, Sir Jimmy Savile,
and a convicted paedophile pop star, Gary
Glitter, sexually abusing underage girls in
in the dressing rooms at the BBC studios.
Karin Ward made the claims in documentary
on ITV, a major public service TV network
in the United
Kingdom. Ms’
Ward claims that
she was abused
by another
t e l e v i s i o n
presenter when she was 14 years old, and
saw Glitter having sex with an underage girl
in Sir Jimmy Savile’s dressing room.
The Director-General of the BBC, George
Entwistle, said that he would like to apologise
on behalf of the BBC. However, he ruled out
an internal inquiry into the damning child
abuse claims despite a multitude of victims
coming forward stating they were abused
on BBC property. The BBC faced mounting
pressure to investigate the damning claims.
The British Prime Minister, David Cameron,
called for the allegations of sexual abuse to be
thoroughly investigated. The PM said that the
women’s claims of sexual abuse as teenagers
at the BBC were “truly shocking.” He said that
the allegations should be looked into by the

“Police investigating
hundreds of complaints”

www.ufmag.biz BBC – and, if necessary, by the police. At this
stage the BBC then did a complete U-turn:
George Entwistle said the BBC Corporation
would conduct an inquiry into alleged abuse
of teenage girls after all, but only after a
police investigation had concluded.
Just hours after Mr. Cameron called for a full
internal investigation, former BBC chief, Mark
Thompson, who stood down last month,
made the astonishing claim that he knew
nothing about the alleged abuse of teenage
girls and had not even heard “rumours” at
any time during his eight years as Director-
General of the BBC.
Mr Entwistle told BBC Radio 4’s Today ,
“These are awful allegations that have been
made, and they are criminal allegations, and
the first thing I want to say is that the women
involved here have gone through something
awful, something I deeply regret they should
have to go through, and I would like to
apologise on behalf of the organisation to
each and every one of them for what they’ve
had to endure here.”
Entwistle added that
the BBC would conduct
its own inquiry “when
the police have finished
everything they have to
do, and when they give
me an assurance that there is no danger of us
in any way compromising or contaminating
an investigation.” He went on to say that any
investigation would need to be done in “two
phases,” and that the BBC would “take a look
properly” after the police inquiry. “So, it’s
critically important that we start by putting
the BBC at the disposal of the police in this
regard. Any BBC probe,” he added, “would
examine the broad question of what was
going on and whether anybody around
Jimmy Savile knew what was going on.”
After BBC presenter Jimmy Savile died on
October 29 last year, the BBC’s Newsnight
programme spent six weeks investigating
allegations that he abused pupils when he
was at the height of his fame in the 1970s. BBC
journalists spoke to ten women who claimed
they had been abused or had knowledge
of abuse at the Duncroft School in Surrey,
UK, which was shut down in 1980. But the
investigation was never aired after Peter
Rippon, the editor of Newsnight, decided to
abandon the broadcast in December, shortly
before the BBC broadcasted three separate
tributes to the alleged paedophile, Sir
Jimmy Savile, during the weeks surrounding
Christmas, 2011.
A British Politician, Mr. Rob Wilson, MP for
Reading East, has written to the chairman
of the BBC Trust, Lord Patten, urging him to
ensure the BBC is totally transparent regarding
all of the allegations being made. Speaking
on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme,
Mr Wilson said, “There’s a lot more to this
than criminality – this is about a culture
that apparently existed
within, particularly the
BBC light entertainment
department and who
knows where else.”
Wilson added, “It was,
according to those who were part of it, an
environment where young girls could be
molested and possibly worse, and female
presenters groped. Now, this was allegedly
tolerated, known about, and allowed to
continue, and it’s alleged that a blind eye
was turned to this. It’s becoming, with every
passing day, more and more obvious that Sir
Jimmy The Infamous Groucho Club
Savile was rotten, but he apparently was not
alone in this, and that the culture in at least
part of the BBC was utterly corrupted.”
Asked if he would call for ITV to hold an
inquiry as well, Wilson said, “I hope that any
broadcaster that has these sorts of allegations
moves very swiftly to deal with them.” About
40 people have now come forward. The

as 7 on sale for sex”

www.ufmag.biz police are also planning to investigate claims
that Savile and an accomplice ran a sex ring
at the BBC.
A BBC spokesman said, “Both the BBC Trust
and the Director-General have stated that the
police are the proper authority to look into
these serious allegations. The BBC’s internal
investigations unit is helping them in every
way possible.” Mr Entwistle met with police,
and subsequently wrote to his staff: “I wanted
to write to you at the end of what has been
a difficult week for the
BBC, following allegations
from a number of women
that Jimmy Savile sexually
abused them when they
were young teenagers
during the 1960s and 70s.
“Like everyone who works
here, I was appalled
by the things I saw in
the ITV documentary.
I am determined that
the corporation will do
absolutely everything
it can to help find out
what happened. I want
to make it clear that full
cooperation with the
police on this matter is
vital. If any staff member,
past or present, knows
anything they think might
help, I would urge them to
come forward.”
Although the BBC tried
hard to evade the issue
and put off calls for an
investigation into the
scandal, it would now
seem that there may be
some light at the end of
the tunnel for the abused
victims, as the Prime
Minister has taken an interest. However, it
remains to be seen if the BBC investigation
will be open and transparent, or if it will
follow in the footsteps of the Groucho Club
and the wall of silence surrounding that
reprehensible affair.
The famous Groucho Club opened its doors
in 1985 in what was seen at the time as an
antidote to the traditional members club. It
was in this spirit that the club was named
after the comedian Groucho Marx, who
famously remarked “I refuse to join any club
that would have me as a member.”
Over the years the Groucho Cub has had
its fair share of sensational headlines with
media quotes such
as “Members of the
Groucho Club, the
coke stained heart
of media London”
and “White powder
scare at the
Groucho Claims
that Damien Hirst
took cocaine at top
Club investigated”
The former head
of the British
Me t r o p o l i t a n
Police, Sir Ian Blair
once stated that
he’d happily raid
the Groucho Club,
and implied that
cocaine use at
the Groucho Club
was equivalent to
buying oranges
from apartheid
South Africa or
taking a holiday in
Burma”. The raid
never happened
and most likely
never will as the
Police in the UK
have no appetite
to take on a media
corporation. This
was evident during
the recent phone hacking scandal in the UK.
While one former manager, Liam Carson,
was found dead in a pool of his own vomit
on a London street, another manager of

www.ufmag.biz the Groucho Club wrote a book “SoHo
Society” about his experiences. Bernie Katz is
renowned for his legendary abilities as a fixer.
Son of a gangster murdered in a gangland
hit in London, he is nicknamed “the little man
who can.” Katz was quoted as saying about
his book “It is quite tame compared to what
really goes on”.
A new exposé book on the club reveals a
more sinister side of the Groucho Club. The
book includes revelations of rape at the club
by a rapist who has yet to be apprehended,
and may still be prowling the corridors of the
club. The revelations at the famous Groucho
club get worse and include the discovery of
network of child pornographers operating
on the Club’s own members’ forum for almost
a year. The network was operating on a
enormous scale and had 42,348 members
and 900,987 posts.
As the book outlines, child pornographers
were operating on the club’s forum for
almost a year with complete impunity. The
forum had thousands of posts made by child
pornographers dedicated to photographs
and videos of young children being made
available for sex. Of the 42,000 members
on the Groucho Club members forum, not
one person reported the existence of child
pornography network to the authorities.
After the discovery was made, a colossal
cover up followed by people yet to be
named. The evidence on the Groucho Club’s
website was deleted and destroyed without
informing the Police.
There was no consideration for the victims
(the children) or the parents of missing
children. This callous act impeded any Police
investigation and it would seem allowed
the pornographers to move on and evade
justice. After this evidence was destroyed
additional evidence was also discovered on
the Google search engine cached pages and
links. However, an unspecified number of
applications were made (by people yet to be
named) to the search engine to remove all
the cached pages and links.
There is a wall of silence surrounding this affair
as both the management of the Groucho
club and their billion dollar corporation,
Graphite Kapital refuse to comment on
the child pornography network or issue a
public statement outlining their position.
According to the book’s author, Tyrone D
Murphy, the exposé about the Groucho Club
is an informative and in-depth account that
is the result of a two year investigation. The
book also writes about the failed libel action
by the Groucho club, when they sought a “pre
publication injunction for libel” to stop the
author from actually writing the book. It was
a libel action about what could be written
and not what had been written. The author
won the libel case and has since published
numerous articles about the club.
Since the expose, no media outlet will publish
or tackle the allegations that have been
made. All of the evidence was forwarded to
the Levinson enquiry, an inept investigation
into the UK media that appears to have
made no difference whatsoever. What make
matters worse is that the UK Police simply did
nothing for months; this allowed a cover up
on a huge scale to take place.
The Police later issued a false report to any
politicians who asked any questions after our
editor instigated an inquiry. This Police report
was later found to contain inaccuracies
by the Independent Police Complaints
Commission the UK Police watchdog. One
of the inaccuracy was that the Police found
only found legal porn on the Groucho clubs
own members forum, this was in reference to
children in swimwear on sale for sex as young
as 7 years of age.
This was despite statements from two serving
Police officers confirming the discovery but
were completely ignored. The Groucho club
is still in business, the press still have no
interest and the Police are simply doing what
they normally do. If you have information
