Actually: ANOTHER thing NOBODY making these programmes/YouTube items wants to mention, it seems to me, is that Savile and others managed to work his way into the National Health Service, etc, precisely BECAUSE it was (is?) at least partially DEPENDENT ON PRIVATE CHARITY. The institutions didn't want to lose that funding : so they were prepared to overlook almost everything about the likes of Savile.. 😏
Anyway, I've been reading "misery memoirs" since the 1990s, about kids being brought up in institutions in the UK and Ireland. And I noticed that many of those said how "charity volunteers" at these places were only there to abuse the girls! And we're not even talking famous people. Or priests. 😏
So: at one time, anyway, this was a common occurrence.
As a socialist, I'd say that the answer, is to fully fund, from taxation, the health and disability services. The trouble in the UK is, as opposed to Europe, is that the middle classes don't want to pay enough tax, to sufficiently fund the NHS. Blame them.
