Arrow Savile allegations: Call for knighthood to be stripped posthumously

Sir Jimmy Savile could be posthumously stripped of his knighthood in the wake of sickening child abuse allegations.

A Cabinet Office source confirmed the “unprecedented” move will be considered if the claims are found to have substance.

Savile was knighted in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list in 1990, in addition to an OBE he received in 1971 for services to charity and broadcasting.
If the allegations are "found to have substance", the stripping of all honours would seem to be the only available "punishment" .....
