Abstract
The Jimmy Savile case elicited shocked reactions not only at the extent of crimes allegedly committed by the deceased former DJ but also because of suspicions of an attempted 'cover-up', especially on the part of the BBC. Yet there is a risk of disingenuousness here. Cover-up has become a commonplace of behaviou by and within organisations. Respectable organisations long ago proved their capacities to lie, deflect and distort, even at massive human cost.
