In the Psychiatrist’s Chair: Before Savile’s fall from grace as a sexual abuser over decades, in truth a conman of extreme proportions. Anthony Clare, a Psychiatrist, interviews him but the truth is Savile dictates the interviews. Savile the man whose grave could not be visible to the public because of the culminated hatred to a man who fooled the world of media and destroyed the lives of children. Watch this now because abuse of children has not stopped; it is worse now with smartphones, social media. Paedophile hunters like Stinson are needed sadly because we do not have the police resources to tackle this major kind of abuse. Watch out and always be alert to the vulnerabilities of children and not forgetting people with intellectual difficulties. Watch in this interview how vulnerable a psychiatrist can be. Ireland this week reveals there is a psychiatrist in Leinster area, Ireland … the charge Paedophilia. Add to this Savile (elementary school only age 4 to 14) was a member of Mensa but doesn’t think himself intelligent/clever.

Bird’s Nest Soup by Hannah Greally born 1925. If I had a choice as to what book should be on the school curriculum, it would be this. Scrolling web it is marketed by many companies including Amazon but there are very few reviews. Psychiatric hospitals used to be institutions (with no link to the Church) run by the state for people unwanted under the guise of mental illness, intellectual disability … the discretion was often from the parents, the priest, the local doctor. Hannah was locked away for almost 20 years and each visit from her mum, she hoped her mum was taking her home. Note link to documentary by Mary Raftery … the life of Hannah Greally; “Behind the Walls”,
