Pardon my ignorance, but what does shameless channelling mean?
Like a medium channels the spirits of the dead to convey a message from the otherside. A writer can be accused of the same, using a character as a channel for their own message.

I don't see why not. Johnny Rotten spoke about killing Jimmy Savile in 1978. And other people were aware of what he was doing. But I'd be prepared for him to punch you back. He was a fit, healthy man.
The trouble with pop culture references is that they age your work. They're also often geographically limited. I'd bet most folks in the US have no idea who Jimmy Savile was.
