Mr Bloom   10 #553 Posted April 17, 2015 Lord Janner, politician in the eighties, has avoided prosecution. The CPS are saying he is too ill to stand trial. He is suffering from dementia. I wonder if this is the same sort of dementia that that Guinness multi-millionaire director managed to avoid jail with, and then made a sudden, miraculous recovery?  Police in Lecister say this decision is the wrong one. They are 'disappointed.' 25 children were involved, and they say they have a very good case that they feel would have resulted in a conviction.  Yet another whitewash. Are any of these abused people ever going to receive justice?  On another forum, one of the posters has asserted that Gary Glitter must be kicking himself for having chosen the wrong career as if he'd been a politician he would still be getting away with it!  This is disgraceful.  I think the opposition parties have missed out on capitalising on the strength of feeling up and down the UK to see these evil paedophiles brought to justice. We want to see a party that is offering a real end to this cover up.  ---------- Post added 17-04-2015 at 09:13 ----------  Then they wonder why people keep calling it a cover up. This decision was taken by the very top people at the CPS. Is that supposed to reassure us? Of course they backed up the dementia claim to avoid it coming to court - Establishment figures through and through.  Didn't Cameron say he would support the victims efforts to get justice? Well here's a chance for him to put his money where his mouth is. I think it's about time he publicly intervened, otherwise he's just as guilty as Margaret Thatcher who knew about Cyril Smith but still insisted on his receiving a knighthood.  More proof that Cameron just says what people want to hear and is NEVER held to account by the press or the people.

The assertation may appear to some to have some truth to it.  Paediaphilia in this country has previously been accused of being practiced by people far higher than mere politicians and members of the house of lords, which they have seemingly always done with complete impunity. . .

Also there maybe nervousness that if they do try to capitalise on the abuse scandal, the press will accuse them of being 'tasteless' and 'cynical'. Though the press themselves exploit any angle to sell their newspapers, be it tasteless or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

All this is just sadder than sad. Those who knowingly prolong the suffering of victims who were once innocent children, deserve to rot along with the abusers themselves.  The fact that people are being denied justice now is disgraceful.  That web page is very difficult to read, by the way.

Mister M   1,609 #561 Posted May 17, 2015 Has this even made tv news? What is going on?  Usual amount of obfuscation. This scandal touches all parts of the establishment, so I suppose the main broadcasters wouldn't want any of their dirty little secrets out into the public.  Meanwhile, The Home Office thinks that the official enquiry may take 8 years http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3085052/Fury-Home-Office-officials-claim-Establishment-sex-abuse-inquiry-EIGHT-years.html#comments  By which time, it is hoped that said members of the establishment who engaged in paedophile activity will be dead, and the furore will have died down.

Hesther   10 #564 Posted June 7, 2015 Long read but worthwhile... http://www.lrb.co.uk/v34/n21/andrew-ohagan/light-entertainment  Hardly, in my opinion.  O'Hagan seems to be accusing the British public of being co-conspirators in the BBC's murky activities. I don't think so. It was obviously rife, with paedophiles getting their paedophile friends on board the BBC gravy train which furnished them with a haven for their abuse.  And I, as an innocent child, used to love watching Larry the Lamb.
