If Rolf Harris is guilty of shocking sexual behaviour, then what of the role of the BBC?

If women were genuinely afraid to voice their objections to sexual abuse at the time, is it any wonder?

Consider how the BBC pilloried Mary Whitehouse simply for objecting to the content of programmes.

I think the BBC owes an apology to her and all the women who were deterred from complaining as a consequence of its treatment of Mary.
