It was good while it lasted is the true story of a twelve-year-old boy who was groomed and abused by Jimmy Savile in the Leeds General Infirmary in 1972, assaulted in his car and later witnessed him abuse a dead woman at the same hospital.The title of the book “It was good while it lasted” is taken from the wording on Jimmy Savile’s tombstone in 2012, these words emblazoned in gold letters on black marble were like a red rag to a bull for me, they inspired me to come forward after more than forty years and tell my story to the authorities. To see an image of the headstone click hereThe autobiography provides details of the abuse and the consequences Jimmy Savile had upon my life.This is the story of how I was mis treated by the police, solicitors, Speaking Out inquiry team, the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman and the DOH legal department and how I am certain I was not the only victim of Jimmy Savile selected for similar treatment.Despite Jeremy Hunt MP stating in Parliament that the victims of Jimmy Savile had been ignored and must be believed, he did not mean it, as this was not what happened under his tenure as health secretary.It is my opinion that, as the vast machine employed to protect the NHS/DOH Parliament BBC etc. from the fall out emanating from the Jimmy Savile scandal rolled forward, it crushed the very people who it was supposed to support, listen to and learn from.As a result, other victims and witnesses failed to come forward, resulting in the inevitable 2020 headline stories of another Savile like abuser just six years later, Paul Farrell, charged with 84 offences committed between 1985 and 2018. Farrell, a porter at Great Ormond Street Hospital, has, like Savile, been free to abuse unchallenged for decades due to witnesses being afraid to come forward as they, like me, think they will not be listened to.
