I'm pretty certain at least some of these 100+ victims are bull****ting, there is absolutely no way they were all keeping quiet until he died to tell their stories. This stretches back over DECADES, there is just no way they didn't tell anyone who could do anything. Go to the bloody police if you're reporting a crime, don't go through the media because it instantly cheapens your claim. Perhaps Jimmy paid people off, perhaps someone connected with the BBC paid them off, but in my opinion this is just another example of gold diggers cashing in on a media scandal.

So how much do you think each was paid and what was the total cost at, say, 1970 prices ?

Example :

100 children and 100 sets of parents/protectors @ say £1000 = £100,000 (1970) equivalent to £1,300,000 (2010)

1000 children and 1000 sets of parents/protectors @ say £1000 = £1,000,000 (1970) equivalent to £13,000,000 (2010)
