Was owner of paedophile palace who kept list of secret VIP visitors murdered?
11 NOV 2017
The Elm Guest House owner was found dead in 1990 but newly released files have led people to question if she committed suicide, and a call for a fresh inquest
The discovery of files that police said were destroyed has cast fresh doubts on the suicide verdict at the heart of the Westminster VIP paedo scandal.
Campaigners are demanding a review of the coroner’s verdict into the death of Carole Kasir and a new inquest.
Mrs Kasir ran the notorious paedophile brothel Elm Guest House in South West London. She may have kept a dossier of the perverted visitors’ names and photos from the early 80s.
The newly found files reveal her GP’s surprise at her apparent suicide. They also say syringes and vials found next to her body had not been analysed.
One source believes a fresh probe may expose a cover-up and reveal that Mrs Kasir, 47, who was found dead in her bed in 1990, had been murdered.
The Kasir files were released to campaigners under freedom of information rules after London’s Met Police said they had been destroyed.
Andrew Bridgen, Tory MP for North West Leicestershire, is among those calling for another inquest.
He said: “There is a case for a fresh investigation into the anomalies raised by these documents. One is that her GP questioned whether she had committed suicide but there are also other anomalies.”
Among the prominent people said to have visited the guest house and engaged in sex – some with consenting adults and some with children – were a government minister, a high-ranking policeman, a member of the Royal Household, an MI5 officer, traitor Anthony Blunt and Sir Peter Morrison, the Parliamentary Private Secretary to Margaret Thatcher.
A police investigation in 2015 failed to prove claims Mrs Kasir had kept a list and picture of the visitors.
A source close to the original investigation said: “If there’s a fresh look at Carole’s death and a full investigation into what exactly was going on at the time then there’s a good chance these things could turn up. If that happens it will blow the lid off any cover-up and it could reveal that she was murdered.
“I don’t think there’s any doubt this place is at the centre of things. The fact these files were found after the Met said they didn’t exist shows there is information out there that we could get.”
The papers show diabetic Mrs Kasir, convicted in 1983 for possessing obscene videos and keeping a disorderly house, tried to kill herself previously and she was found with an overdose of insulin.
Pathologist Richard Shepherd said her death was “not due to natural causes” noting her profound low blood sugar consistent with excessive injected insulin. One abnormality raised in the files is a decision by the poison unit at New Cross Hospital in London not to analyse the syringes and vials found next to her body to see if they were connected to her death or to check her stomach contents. Experts say this should have been normal practice in a toxicology report.
Colin Peters, a Foreign Office barrister, was also named as an alleged Elm House regular. Notorious paedophile Sidney Cooke was linked to providing boys for VIP sex parties in London.
Elm House itself was said to be home to a sauna and a video suite where sick films could be made. A man who said he was taken there as a child claimed he was plied with drink and made to wear a fairy costume while abusers chased him.
The files even raise a question mark about Mrs Kasir’s home country. The official report says she was born in Germany as Carole Weitzman, based on evidence given to the inquest by her estranged husband Haroon Kasir.
But a close family member says she was born in London and may have had the surname Jones. A campaigner said: “The fact that there are question marks over the basics makes you wonder what else went wrong. The whole thing needs re-examining.”
Deputy Labour leader Tom Watson was told by the Metropolitan Police that all the documents relating to the inquest had been destroyed.
Now it has emerged that information is untrue. Hammersmith coroner’s court, which held the inquest has released redacted accounts of the coroner’s notes, seen by the Sunday People. Evidence given by David Walker, who was a GP from the practice where Mrs Kasir had been a patient for 14 years, cast doubt on whether she had killed herself.
The evidence said she had attempted suicide in 1982, when the guest house was raided, been hospitalised after an overdose in 1984 and had a drinking problem in 1989 and was a heavy smoker.
But he said: “When there are marital difficulties you see the patient in a depressed light. Sometimes she was cheerful and friendly. I would not expect her to commit suicide.”
The postmortem report and the poisons unit report both show she had no alcohol in her body at the time of
Elm Guest House first came to public attention after MP Tom Watson raised questions in the House of Commons about a historic Westminster paedophile ring.
The house in Barnes, South West London, was said to have been used for child sexual abuse by VIP paedos in the 1980s. A 1982 leaflet published by the Conservative Group for Homosexual Equality said: “The facilities include a sauna, solarium and video studio.”
Just weeks later the guest house was raided by police. Carole and Haroon Kasir were convicted at the Old Bailey of running a brothel.
Visitors were said to have included the late Lib Dem MP and paedophile Cyril Smith.
Elm and the nearby former Grafton Close children’s home, run by Richmond Council, were subject to a police investigation, Operation Fernbridge, which led to the arrest and jailing of a Roman Catholic priest, Tony McSweeney, for three years in 2015.
John Stingmore, the former manager of the children’s home, was also arrested and charged and as the coroner’s papers show, was convicted as a paedophile after he left Richmond Council. Stingmore died just before he was due to face trial so one of the charges related to bringing a boy to Elm Guest House was never tested in court.
McSweeney’s offences did not involve the guest house.
In early 1983 Mrs Kasir was convicted with her husband Haroon Kasir of running a disorderly house.
Although the identities of many of the VIP visitors has been a source of speculation, police confirmed to a Channel 4 Dispatches programme that Smith – whose paedophile activities at Rochdale are currently being examined by the independent child sex abuse inquiry – did visit the guest house. The inquiry was also told that MI5 lied about knowledge they had he was a paedophile.
1998 Police last week confirmed that the late MP Peter Morrison had been picked up twice and never brought to trial. There appeared to be no trace of either incident in official records.

Theresa May and Amber Rudd suppress Westminster child abuse documents for national security reasons
November 20, 2017
Labour MP Lisa Nandy just revealed in parliament the embarrassing inconsistencies between Prime Minister Theresa May and Home Secretary Amber Rudd over documents being hidden from the inquiry into allegations of child abuse by MP Cyril Smith.
“The Home Secretary told me that some papers would be withheld from the Cyril Smith inquiry for national security reasons,” Nandy told the House of Commons, yet she added: “this week the Prime Minister has written to me to say we are clear that the work of the security services will not prevent information being shared with other such inquiries.”
– And she challenged Amber Rudd to confirm “for the survivors of Cyril Smith who have waited for decades” for justice – whether papers on historic allegations of child abuse against Smith will be withheld from inquiries for reasons of national security.
Cyril Smith was a Liberal MP for Rochdale in the 1970’s after Liberal Party leader Jeremy Thorpe – who later resigned amid sexual scandal – insisted the local party have Smith as a candidate even though police had investigated serious allegations of sexual abuse of young boys in care homes in Rochdale where he had been Mayor.
The police investigation was dropped in 1970. Smith died in 2010 and two years later the Crown Prosecution Service admitted that he would have faced prosecution for allegations of child abuse where he still alive with allegations that had surfaced since.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse last month heard how Smith was a governor at several schools in Rochdale, including Knowl View, where one abuse survivor attended as a boy when Smith was governor. He gave horrific testimony of a rape by Smith.
The inquiry is investigating historic abuse in Rochdale schools and care homes and heard how police had warned that Smith had “used his unique position to indulge in a sordid series of indecent episodes with young boys towards whom he had a special responsibility.”
The inquiry was provided evidence by MI5 that the security service had been aware at the time that the Director of Public Prosecutions had lied to journalists about not charging the MP, saying a case hadn’t been referred to them. MI5 appear to have not pursued this serious allegation as their role was “to defend the realm”, the inquiry heard.
A police report into Smith when he stood for election in 1970 read: “he has used his unique position to indulge in a sordid series of indecent episodes with young boys towards whom he had a special responsibility.”
The inquiry also heard that Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher would have been likely to be aware of the allegations against Cyril Smith when she awarded him a knighthood in 1988.
Lead counsel Brian Altman QC told the inquiry: “It is important to bear in mind the extent to which Cyril Smith continued to involve himself in serious issues related to the welfare of children. A knighthood would only have reinforced Smith’s veneer of respectability and power.”
Government papers relating to Cyril Smith will not be withheld, PM pledges
Prime Minister Theresa May has given assurances to an MP that Government papers relating to the late Cyril Smith will not be withheld.
Former shadow minister Lisa Nandy told the Commons that she had received a letter from the Prime Minister which stated the “work of the security services will not prevent information being shared”.
The letter prompted Ms Nandy to ask Home Secretary Amber Rudd whether she had been wrong to assert last month that some papers would be held back “under national security”.
The Wigan MP said: “Last month in this House the Home Secretary told me that some papers would be withheld from the Cyril Smith inquiry for national security reasons.
“This week the Prime Minister has written to me to say we are clear that the work of the security services will not prevent information being shared with other such inquires.
“So can she can confirm to the survivors of Cyril Smith (pictured) who have waited for justice for decades that she was wrong and that the Prime Minister is right?”
Ms Rudd replied: “Well I am happy to confirm the Prime Minister is always right and I will certainly look carefully at the letter that she has received to ensure that we comply with it.”
Smith, who was an MP for Rochdale between 1972 and 1992, is accused of sexually abusing a number of boys.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse has heard evidence of the abuse and will publish its findings next year.
In her letter to Ms Nandy, the Prime Minister said: “As with the Government’s co-operation with the investigation into allegations of abuse at Kincora Boys’ Home in the 1970s, we are clear that the work of the security services will not prevent information being shared with other such inquires.
“Material relating to the allegations of abuse at Kincora Boys’ Home was disclosed to the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry team in full.
“To assist with disclosure, a memorandum of understanding was established between the inquiry team, government departments and security services with regards to viewing and securing potentially relevant material.
“If material was identified as relevant to the inquiry, government department and security services would consider it for public disclosure, in line with UK Government disclosure obligations.”

Paedophile ring allegations: police are failing us, murdered boy’s father says
Vishambar Mehrotra fears police covered up links between his son’s killing and activities at south-west London Elm guest house
The father of a murdered child who believes he may have died at the hands of a paedophile ring involving high-profile individuals said the Metropolitan police was still failing his family 33 years on from the killing of his eight-year-old son.
Vishambar Mehrotra told the Guardian that if the police had covered up the links between his son’s abduction and killing in 1981, and the activities of paedophiles at a guest house in south-west London that is now at the centre of a new police inquiry into murders of children, they should be working even harder to bring the killers to justice today. Mehrotra’s son, Vishal, went missing in July 1981 in Putney, less than a mile from the Elm House guest house in Rock Lane, Barnes, while on his way home with his family from watching the wedding of the Prince of Wales and Diana Spencer.
Was Carole Kasir murdered? Well, it’s pretty obvious that a woman who recorded visitors to a child abuse brothel with names like Cliff Richard, Cyril Smith, Harvey Proctor and Leon Brittan wouldn’t have been short of enemies!
The coroner of the Queen’s household presided over the alleged suicide of the manageress of a child abuse brothel frequented by members of the Queen’s household?
Dr John Burton, coroner for West London, coroner of the Queen’s Household. One of 150 holders of the ancient office of coroner, which has its 800th anniversary this month.
Hello I am seeking what did happen to the 49 boxes that were seized by The Met Police at Mary Moss address and neighbouring garden shed suggesting names she obtained by Carole Kasir saying that VIP’s were involved in child abuse at Elms Guest House in Barnes from 1978 to 1982 the raid took place sometime in 2013 near St Pancras area of London.
How many people were questioned as suspects.
How many people were questioned as witnesses.
How many files went to the CPS for them to decide on charges.
Has The Met returned the boxes to Mary Moss.
What was the name of police operation or operations linked to the Mary Moss files.
Is the operation or operations still ongoing or is this line of enquiry finished.
How many officers have dealt with the Mary Moss case and how much money was spent on it.
Can you name the lead officer in charge and the police station that dealt with this.
Allegedly Sir Cliff Richard presently has a super injunction from the High Court preventing anyone naming him in connection with Elm Guest House – don’t worry Kitty your secret is safe on the internet!
It was first reported in 2010 that Sir Cliff Richard had surrended his British citizenship and become a National of Barbados known as a “Bajan”.
On 14th August British Police raided Cliff Richard’s mansion in Berkshire looking for evidence of Child sex abuse. Later on 14th August 2014 Sir Cliff Richard released this statement from Portugal:
Here is Sir Cliff Richard’s statement of 14th August 2014 in full after police started searching his Berkshire home:
“For many months I have been aware of allegations against me of historic impropriety which have been circulating online.
“The allegations are completely false. Up until now I have chosen not to dignify the false allegations with a response, as it would just give them more oxygen.
“However, the police attended my apartment in Berkshire today without notice, except it would appear to the press.
“I am not presently in the UK but it goes without saying that I will cooperate fully should the police wish to speak to me.
“Beyond stating that today’s allegation is completely false it would not be appropriate to say anything further until the police investigation has concluded.”
Cliff Richard is (allegedly) a man of strong Christian principles but has anyone heard him condemning CSA or showing sympathy with its victims?
Ex-detective felt forced by BBC reporter to reveal Cliff Richard raid, court hears
Matthew Fenwick tells high court he felt he had ‘no option’ but to tell reporter about the search
Apr 16 2018
Matthew Fenwick, who was a detective superintendent with South Yorkshire police, said he believed reporter Dan Johnson would run a story about the investigation into the singer, leaving it “compromised”, unless he was told about the search.
Fenwick said it had been clear Johnson knew the force was investigating an allegation of child sexual abuse against Richard, because he described the singer as a “celebrity paedo” during a meeting.
Cliff Richard wins £210,000 in damages in BBC privacy case
Singer sued BBC for invasion of privacy over its coverage of child sex abuse claims
18 July 2018
Richard appeared in court to hear the verdict, accompanied by his friends Gloria Hunniford and Paul Gambaccini.
… the BBC director of news, Fran Unsworth…said the corporation could appeal against the judgment, and she warned about the wider consequences of the ruling for for press freedom.
Warning that the judgment created new case law and represented a “dramatic shift” against the ability of journalists to report on police investigations, Unsworth continued: “We don’t believe this is compatible with liberty and press freedoms, something that has been at the heart of this country for generations. For all of these reasons there is a significant principle at stake.”
In his ruling, Mr Justice Mann said that Sir Cliff’s right to privacy outweighed the BBC’s right to free expression in this case.
The judgment could have serious implications for the freedom of all media organisations to name the suspects of police investigations before they are charged.
Mr Justice Mann indicated that he would have found against the BBC even if it had published a “lower key report of the search and investigation”.
118. The fact that Cyril Smith’s public standing and professional career were never negatively impacted in any significant way by the suggestion that he was involved in child sexual abuse has given rise to considerable speculation that he was in some way protected by other politicians. We may consider the possibility that Smith was actively supported at the level of national politics, or at the very least, had a blind eye turned towards allegations against him, as part of the Westminster investigation.
Dame Alun Roberts@ciabaudo
Don’t forget that many on this (Elm Guest House) list are now convicted paedophiles or have been proven beyond reasonable doubt, e.g. Cyril Smith, to be paedophiles.
When I was a rentboy I often serviced Cyril Smith at the Strand Palace Hotel in the Charringcross Road. Cyril was unbelievably brutal and made me dress up as a Boy Scout. He used to give me thirty bob and my bus fare home.
I fail to understand why the British press has not questioned what happened to the files handed over by Mary Moss on a brothel which Cliff Richard is know to have frequented!
On the cusp of a breakthrough with Paul Settle openly saying he believed Leon Brittan was a paedophile. And then the trail went cold.
@craftymuvva
Never forget when Jim Hood stood up in the Commons and named Leon Brittan. Just what DID the striking miners of 1984 know about Brittan’s “improper conduct with children”?
Miners teenager young boys were lock in a mining towns detention centre at #Medomsley Where Leon paid a visit!

From 1981, Vaz would regularly appear in local newspapers criticising police, council decisions etc…
By 1983, he becomes director of the Labour Party Richmond Advice Scheme. How many locals approached him regarding Elm Guest House, issues in Barnes or CSA?
In 1984 he becomes Chairman for West London NCCL. Another role where people would approach him about local issues – and they did!
Keith Vaz and the Mystery of Barnes Common
In 1982, early in his political career and before he was an MP, Keith Vaz was Labour’s prospective parliamentary candidate for Richmond & Barnes, as well as being Solicitor for Richmond Council.
Elm Guest House on Rocks Lane, Barnes, was at the centre of a paedophile ring in 1982. Boys from Richmond Council-run care homes such as Grafton Close were supplied to Elm Guest House to be abused by VIPs.
As Labour’s prospective parliamentary candidate, you would expect Keith Vaz to have spent a lot of time talking to local residents and asking them about their concerns. Local people had a good idea of what went on at Elm Guest House, as we can see from this extract from a book by Jilly Cooper, a Barnes resident at the time, about conversations she had whilst walking on Barnes Common:
I asked Keith Vaz on twitter if he remembered hearing anything about Elm Guest House at the time:
This is odd, because I would have thought Labour voters and other residents would have complained to him about the badly kept secret of what Elm Guest House was really used for. I’m also surprised there weren’t rumours amongst Richmond Council staff. Keith Vaz did seem to be very well informed about crime on Barnes Common, as this article from a July 1982 edition of Richmond & Barnes Times shows.
Rocks Lane, where Elm Guest House paedophile ring was based, runs through the middle of Barnes Common, where the indecent assaults were happening. It’s very strange indeed that Keith Vaz was aware of one but not the other.
Author JILLY COOPERlived in Barnes, southwest London around the corner from theElm Guest House child brothel.
Jilly Cooper was so interested in the real-life VIP paedophile ring operating at Elm Guest House in Rocks Lane that she featured it in her 1984 book, The Common Years. (see Elm Guest House and ‘The Common Years’ by Jilly Cooper)
Coincidentally, Jilly Cooper has felt the need to write another ‘story’ about a paedophile ring more recently.
Take her 2006 novel, Wicked.
One reviewer sums up Jilly Cooper’s 2006 ‘fiction’ with this damning verdict:
Quote:“Beyond Wicked – Depraved …
The paedophiliac ring at the end was incredible …
It absolutely ruined the entire book for me and left me feeling quite sick …
It was entirely creepy at times and more than a touch sinister.“
A second reviewer found Jilly Cooper’s use of a paedophile ring for story-telling purposes “dismissive” and “tasteless”:
Quote:“I found the whole paedophile ring quite disturbing and also the rape/murder of a young girl– not because they happened but because they happened in such a dismissive way …
Since these things do happen and traumatise people’s lives, it seemed very tasteless.”
A third reviewer wonders at the “creepiness” of Jilly Cooper’s book:
Quote:“Seems even more creepy on a second reading …
graphic sex scenes between 13 and 14 year olds and adults.”
After reading such horrifying book reviews, the question must surely be this…
Wherever did former Barnes resident Jilly Cooper – whose social circle includes Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, and senior Tories such as Michael Portillo – come across such “depraved”, “sinister” and “creepy” ideas for her “sickening” books?
Well. No doubt the author is simply dying to tell the IICSA everything that she knows about the Westminster/Buckingham Palace/VIP paedophile network that surrounded Elm Guest House…

By George Monbiot. Published in the Guardian 9th December 2003
One of strangest aspects of modern politics is the dominance of former left-wingers who have swung to the right. The “neo-cons” pretty well run the White House and the Pentagon, the Labour party and key departments of the British government. But there is a group which has travelled even further, from the most distant fringes of the left to the extremities of the pro-corporate libertarian right. While its politics have swung around 180 degrees, its tactics – entering organisations and taking them over – appear unchanged. Research published for the first time today suggests that the members of this group have colonised a crucial section of the British establishment.
The organisation began in the late 1970s as a Trotskyist splinter called the Revolutionary Communist party. It immediately set out to destroy competing oppositionist movements. When nurses and cleaners marched for better pay, it picketed their demonstrations.(1) It moved into the gay rights group Outrage and sought to shut it down.(2) It tried to disrupt the miners’ strike,(3) undermined the Anti-Nazi League (4) and nearly destroyed the radical Polytechnic of North London.(5) On at least two occasions RCP activists physically attacked members of opposing factions.(6)
In 1988, it set up a magazine called Living Marxism, later LM. By this time, the organisation, led by the academic Frank Furedi, the journalist Mick Hume and the teacher Claire Fox, had moved overtly to the far right. LM described its mission as promoting a “confident individualism” without social constraint.(7) It campaigned against gun control,(8) against banning tobacco advertising (9) and child pornography,(10)and in favour of global warming,(11) human cloning and freedom for corporations. It defended the Tory MP Neil Hamilton (12) and the Bosnian Serb ethnic cleansers.(13) It provided a platform for writers from the corporate thinktanks the Institute for Economic Affairs (14) and the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise.(15) Frank Furedi started writing for the Centre for Policy Studies (founded by Keith Joseph and Margaret Thatcher)(16) and contacting the supermarket chains, offering, for £7,500, to educate their customers “about complex scientific issues”. (17)
In the late 1990s, the group began infiltrating the media, with remarkable success. For a while, it seemed to dominate scientific and environmental broadcasting on Channel 4 and the BBC. It used these platforms (Equinox, Against Nature, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Counterblast, Zeitgeist) to argue that environmentalists were Nazi sympathisers who were preventing human beings from fulfilling their potential. In 2000, LM magazine was sued by ITN, after falsely claiming that the news organisation’s journalists had fabricated evidence of Serb atrocities against Bosnian Muslims. LM closed, and was resurrected as the web magazine Spiked and the thinktank the Institute of Ideas.
All this is already in the public domain. But now, thanks to the work of the researcher and activist Jonathan Matthews (published today on his database http://www.gmwatch.org), what seems to be a new front in this group’s campaign for atomisation has come to light. Its participants have taken on key roles in the formal infrastructure of public communication used by the science and medical establishment.
Let us begin with the Association for Sense About Science (SAS), the lobby group chaired by the Liberal Democrat peer Lord Taverne, and whose board contains such prominent scientists as Professor Sir Brian Heap, Professor Dame Bridget Ogilvie and Sir John Maddox.(18) In October it organised a letter to the Prime Minister by 114 scientists, complaining that the government had failed to make the case for genetic engineering.(19) In response, Tony Blair told the Commons that he had not ruled out the commercialisation of GM crops in Britain.(20)
The phone number for Sense About Science is shared by the “publishing house” Global Futures.(21) One of its two trustees is Phil Mullan,(22) a former RCP activist and LM contributor who is listed as the registrant of Spiked magazine’s website.(23) The only publication on the Global Futures site is a paper by Frank Furedi, the godfather of the cult. The assistant director of Sense About Science, Ellen Raphael, is the contact person for Global Futures.(24) The director of SAS, Tracey Brown, has written for both LM and Spiked and has published a book with the Institute of Ideas (25): all of them RCP spin-offs. Both Brown and Raphael studied under Frank Furedi at the University of Kent, before working for the PR firm Regester Larkin,(26) which defends companies such as the biotech giants Aventis CropScience, Bayer and Pfizer against consumer and environmental campaigners.(27) Brown’s address is shared by Adam Burgess, also a contributor to LM. LM’s health writer, Dr Michael Fitzpatrick, is a trustee of both Global Futures and Sense About Science.(28)
SAS has set up a working party on peer review, which is chaired and hosted by the Royal Society. One of its members is Tony Gilland,(29) who is science and society director at the Institute of Ideas, a contributor to both LM and Spiked and the joint author of the proposal Frank Furedi made to the supermarkets.(30) Another is Fiona Fox, the sister of Claire Fox, who runs the Institute of Ideas. Fiona Fox was a frequent contributor to LM. One of her articles generated outrage among human rights campaigners by denying that there had been a genocide in Rwanda.(31)
Fiona Fox is also the director of the Science Media Centre, the public relations body set up by Baroness Susan Greenfield of the Royal Institution. It is funded, among others, by the pharmaceutical companies Astra Zeneca, Dupont and Pfizer.(32) Fox has used the Science Media Centre to promote the views of industry and to launch fierce attacks against those who question them. She ran the campaign, for example, to rubbish last year’s BBC drama Fields of Gold.(33)
The list goes on and on. The policy officer of the Genetic Interest Group, which represents the interests of people with genetic disorders, is now John Gillott,(34) formerly science editor of LM and a regular contributor to Spiked. The director of the Progress Educational Trust, which campaigns for research on human embryos, is Juliet Tizzard, a contributor to LM, Spiked and the Institute of Ideas. Gillott and Tizzard also help to run Genepool, the online clinical genetics library.(35) The chief executive of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service is Ann Furedi, the wife of Frank Furedi and a regular contributor to LM and Spiked. Until last year she was communications director for the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority. The coordinator of the Pro-Choice Forum, which publicises abortion issues, is Ellie Lee, a regular writer for LM and Spiked and now series editor for the Institute of Ideas.
Is all this a coincidence? I don’t think so. But it’s not easy to understand why it is happening. Are we looking at a group which wants power for its own sake, or one following a political design, of which this is an intermediate step? What I can say is that the scientific establishment, always politically naive, appears unwittingly to have permitted its interests to be represented to the public by the members of a bizarre and cultish political network. Far from rebuilding public trust in science and medicine, this group’s repugnant philosophy could finally destroy it.
If it is, it’s hardly surprising he is afraid to give evidence if he knows his mum was bumped off!
Did Op Midland ask Haroon Kasir who these three MPs were?
Surely Haroon Kasir knows the names of the three MPs present at EGH when it was raided in the 80s.
The only connection yet made between Savile and Elm has been in an Exaro report which claims Haroon (Harry Kasir- husband of Carol Kasir) was friendly with Savile who often dropped in for tea. The article also reported comments that Harry became strange and withdrawn after Savile’s death and that Harry is now seeking to raise money to fund a new life, in the US, where his son lives.
Here are a few articles reporting on the inquest in to the death of Carole Kasir – the former owner of Elm Guest House. Allegations against MPs and other VIPs were mentioned during the inquest.
There were rumours that her death wasn’t accidental and Carole herself had claimed to have been followed by (what she suspected to be) MI5 in the lead up to her death. However, Dr John Burton concluded that the cause of her death was suicide. I will cover that in more detail here in due course, but in the meantime I have collated/published them for ease of reference.
In 1972, an alleged victim disclosed to her GP that she had been abused by Jocelyn Cadbury. She called him a ‘sadistic paedophile’. A very well known journalist was told about this allegation.
Another credible journalist claimed that Cadbury killed himself (on 31 July 1982), just two days after being questioned by police in relation to Elm Guest House.
The Police and journalists at the time will know whether this is true or not. Op Fernbridge has the Police files on Cadbury. Hopefully they have shared with @InquiryCSA
Why was there no mention of Cadbury being interviewed at his suicide inquest just a few days later?
Cadbury was very close to Parris. Parris was a close buddy of Proctor. Why aren’t today’s media investigating these lines of inquiry? I’m sure their colleagues from the 80’s could help them!
Tellingly, Cadbury was PPS to Norman Lamont, who criticised the Police for wasting money on historical abuse cases.
Like Lamont, Matthew Parris, close friend of Jocelyn Cadbury, is 1 of those talking down any VIP involvement in CSA

Kesgrave Hall school: police files on alleged sexual abuse were ‘destroyed’
Police and Suffolk county council have said they no long have files on a joint investigation into allegations of child abuse at a boarding school for troubled boys. This is from the Guardian…
Alexander Hanff, a former pupil of Kesgrave Hall near Ipswich who has alleged he was sexually assaulted by staff at the school, said he was “deeply disappointed” that records of the 1992 investigation appear to have been destroyed. Hanff is one of 10 ex-pupils who told the Guardian they were victims or witnesses of a range of abuse at the school between 1980 and 1993.
At least 30 pupils were interviewed by police in 1992 as part of the Kesgrave Hall investigation. Four members of staff were suspended and received psychiatric help before being reinstated. The school was closed down in 1993, a year after the police inquiry, and no members of staff were prosecuted.
Suffolk police have been urged by Daniel Poulter, the Tory MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich, to reopen the investigation after he said he was “extremely concerned” about the abuse claims.
A spokesman for Suffolk police said on Thursday he could not say whether the investigation would be reopened. The force said in a statement: “Suffolk Constabulary no longer holds the files in relation to crimes occurring of this nature at Kesgrave Hall School due to the age of the offence and that review, retention and disposal guidelines at the time scheduled for its disposal.”
The Guardian has been told that Vivian Davies, a former director of the private company that ran the school, destroyed the vast majority of records relating to Kesgrave Hall when he moved house before his death.
Kesgrave/Stowmarket: Inquiries into historic child abuse allegations at three former schools
04 February 2013
The accusations, which relate to alleged physical and sexual assaults, are said to have occurred between the late 1970s and run through to the 1990s.
A solicitor representing ex-pupils of one of the schools – Oakwood School in Stowmarket – has said the number of claimants has reached three figures.
Andrew Grove, who is based in Cambridge, said: “We now have 100 complainants on the civil claim relating to Oakwood School.”
Last week detectives said they were re-opening the 1992 inquiry into alleged abuse at Kesgrave Hall independent school.
The investigation, codenamed Operation Garford, comes after former students’ calls for it to be re-opened were backed by Central Suffolk and North Ipswich MP Dr Dan Poulter.
Responding to the new inquiry, Dr Poulter said: “I am pleased that Suffolk Police are conducting a full and thorough investigation into the alleged child abuse at Kesgrave Hall school, following my intervention.
“A number of people have written to me raising concerns about abuse when they or their family members were pupils at the school, and I would again urge anyone who has been the victim of abuse to come forward and immediately contact Suffolk police.”
Four people were suspended in 1992 during the Kesgrave Hall inquiry. No charges were ever brought. The school closed in 1993.
However, a woodwork teacher Alan Stancliffe, was convicted and jailed in 1999 and again in 2007 for indecent assaults on three ex-pupils.
Two other police inquiries involving the former St George’s School in Great Finborough, near Stowmarket, and Oakwood School are also continuing.
Operation Racecourse (St George’s) has been running since the late 2000s. It has led to the independent school’s ex-headmaster Derek Slade being jailed for 21 years in 2010 for sexual and physical abuse against pupils between the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Alan Brigden (aka Morton), 67, who taught maths at St George’s, was jailed for five years last year for sexual abuse after being extradited back from Holland despite two suicide attempts.
A third man, music teacher Alan Williams, 59, who lived in Stowmarket, took his own life after being arrested on suspicion of abuse.
A 59-year-old man who taught at St George’s is currently on police bail after being arrested on suspicion of sexual abuse.
Operation Oxenton (Oakwood School) is a criminal inquiry involving 95 complainants from the civil case.
There have already been convictions linked to Oakwood School dating back to the late 1980s.
Teacher Keith Hatton was jailed for four years in 1987 for nine sex assaults, while a part-time assistant John Wills, 45, of Stowmarket – who was a teacher in other schools and a foster carer – was jailed for eight months in 1995 for sexually abusing a child.
A Stowmarket clergyman with connections to the school, took his own life in 2003 after being arrested on suspicion of sexual assault
Kesgrave Hall school sex abuse: Victim slept with ‘one eye open’
13 May 2016
John McKno, 70, of Alby in Norfolk, admitted nine acts of sexual indecency committed against five pupils at three different schools in the 1970s and 1980s and he has been jailed for 14 years.
One of the schools was Kesgrave Hall near Ipswich, described at the time as a school for children with behaviour problems, but who had above-average intelligence.
Children were sent there from across the country by their local education authorities and it had about 40 pupils and 12 staff at any one time.
Lee Woolcott-Ellis, now 51 and living in Kent, was a pupil at the school from 1975 to 1980 and helped police with their investigation, which eventually traced two Kesgrave victims of McKno.
“I’ve said in court it was a paedophile ring – they all knew each other, took part in indecent assaults and followed the same modus operandi,” he said.
McKno worked at Kesgrave between 1986 and 1987 but his history of offending took in two of his previous schools – Beam College in Devon (where he taught from 1978 to 1979) and St Michael’s College in Worcestershire (where he taught between 1979 and 1985).
In 1999, another former Kesgrave teacher was convicted of child sex offences.
Alan Stancliffe was jailed for two years for indecent assaults on three boys between 1977 and 1981, one of whom was Mr Woolcott-Ellis.
Suffolk Police closed its original investigation into further suspected sexual abuse at Kesgrave in 1992, but the inquiry was reopened in 2012.
Three other former Kesgrave staff, who were part of the new inquiry, died in 2014:
Kenneth Wheatley, 62 and also known as Kenneth Scott, was arrested on suspicion of sex offences and found dead on a railway line near his home in Barnsley
David Brockman, 59, who lived in Huntingdon, was questioned by police on suspicion of sex offences and died of natural causes
Michael Lafford, 67, who was questioned about physical abuse rather than sexual offences, took an overdose and died at his home in Bicester, Oxfordshire
A RETIRED teacher committed suicide after a police paedophile investigation unit turned up at his Bicester house with a search warrant, an inquest found.
Michael Lafford, 67, took an overdose of medication when Thames Valley Police’s Paedophile Online Investigation Team (POLIT) attempted to search his house in November last year.
DS Paula Morgan, in charge of the unit, said they were working with intelligence that the former Ofsted inspector possessed indecent images of children.
An inquest heard that as officers knocked on his front door and identified themselves, other officers at the rear of the property saw Mr Lafford swallowing pills.
Kesgrave Hall School was a private boys’ boarding school in Kesgrave, England,[2] catering for pupils with high academic potential who were unable to flourish in mainstream schools.[1]
Incidents
Alan Stancliffe was convicted, in 1982, in 1999, and again in 2007, of indecently assaulting five boys at Kesgrave Hall School where he had been a teacher from 1978 to 1980.[1][2][3]
In December 2012, former pupils of the school came forward to describe the abuse they had suffered there during the 1980s, and their call for a new investigation was taken up and successful.[4][5][6] In May 2014, after being questioned over allegations of sexual abuse, Kenneth Wheatley (Scott), a former care worker at the school and a convicted child sex offender, was found dead.[7][8] In September 2014, Alan Stancliffe died while on bail facing a fourth set of child sex allegations.[9]
In November 2014, former language teacher, house-parent and Ofsted inspector Michael Lafford killed himself by swallowing pills when police investigating online child pornography visited his house.[10][11]
In March 2016, former care staff member John McKno admitted the sexual abuse of five boys, all under 16 and one under 14, at Kesgrave Hall, Beam College in Great Torrington, Devon, and St Michael’s College in Tenbury Wells, Worcs.[12] He worked at Kesgrave Hall in the mid-1980s. On 13 May 2016, he was jailed for 14 years at Ipswich Crown Court.[13]
A former teacher convicted of sexually assaulting schoolboys hid his criminal past to find work at a Leeds college. Alan Stancliffe, 58, worked at Trinity and All Saints in Horsforth for five years, helping to arrange work experience for students. He had committed a string of sex offences against boys he taught at a private boarding school almost 30 years ago. His past came to light when he faced trial this month for sexually abusing another pupil at the same school. “Leeds Trinity were not aware of any convictions when he was appointed or during the time he was in employment here,” said director of marketing and communications, Kim Somerville. “His work did not require or involve unsupervised contact with children or vulnerable adults, therefore a Criminal Records Bureau check was not required.” Stancliffe, of Pontefract, worked at the college from December 2002 to May this year. He suddenly resigned, citing personal reasons. His work involved managing a programme to provide work links for undergraduates at the higher education college, which has about 2,500 students. During his four-day trial at Ipswich Crown Court this month it emerged that he had been convicted, in 1982 and again in 1999, of indecently assaulting four boys at Kesgrave Hall School, a boarding school for disruptive boys near Ipswich, where he had been a woodwork and technical drawing teacher from 1978 to 1980.
This systemic abuse was prevalent in the institutions I was forced to attend from the age of 6 to 16 years of age. Heanton School, North Devon and Kesgrave Hall School, Suffolk were residential, private organisations I attended as a boarder. These schools were owned and run by the same group of directors. Spending 5 years at each school during the 1970’s was to have a far reaching impact on my adult life and affect every facet of my social and professional interactions.
The police investigation was prompted by a former Kesgrave Hall care worker who reported his concerns to social services. Kesgrave Hall school closed in 1993, less than a year after the police inquiry.
Eric Richardson, the school’s head at the time of the investigation, told the East Anglian Daily Times in 1992 that the four members of staff had received psychiatric help after they were suspended. Richardson told the paper that the suspended staff were not sadists, but conceded that their conduct was “probably heavy-handed to a point that it should not have been”.
Michael Smith, the headteacher from 1984 to 1992, declined to comment explicitly when asked about the abuse claims.
Nigel Kennard, who was a director of Kesgrave Hall School Ltd, the now-defunct private company that ran the school, refused to comment.
The Guardian has been told that Vivian Davies, a former director of the private company that ran the school, destroyed the vast majority of records relating to Kesgrave Hall when he moved house before his death.
…teachers found that boys from that school were ill-served by their secondary schools. The school’s prospectus, which was still in use in the late 1980s, decried the use of children as “educational guinea-pigs” and assured that the school preferred to rely on “tried-and-tested old-fashioned methods”.
S. SHEPHERD, DFC, CDEG, DIP PH D
The school had four headmasters: Derek Sheppard from its foundation until July 1984, Michael Smith from then until Easter 1992, Eric Richardson, a long-standing teacher and hitherto deputy headmaster, from then until Easter 1993, and John Williams, another long-standing teacher, from then until the school closed in 1993.
Suffolk: ‘I was abused by paedophiles around the country while I was a child in care’, man alleges
06 May 2014
Murmurings of a paedophile network operating in Suffolk from the 1970s to the 1990s have grown louder over the last five years.
Earlier this month two men – a 62-year-old care worker and 65-year-old teacher at the former Kesgrave Hall school – were arrested on suspicion of child sex offences between the 1970s and 1990s.
As a result the 62-year-old man from Barnsley, was also arrested as part of the National Crime Agency’s inquiry into abuse at care homes in north Wales.
…one man has now alleged he was abused around the country as a child while in the Suffolk care system. He also said he was assaulted in the county by Peter Righton, one of the founders of the now notorious Paedophile Information Exchange.
Towards the end of his life Righton lived in a property near Eye. Henniker’s Thornham Magna
Lord Henniker at Thornham 1985
Michael – not his real name – also said he was trafficked around the country by his male foster carer to be molested by strangers.
These ‘trips’ included being taken to north Wales where the large-scale inquiry is currently going on into mass child abuse in care homes, as well as being driven down to London.
Michael has been in contact with officers from the National Crime Agency’s Operation Pallial, who are investigating the abuse allegations in Wales. He has also contacted the Metropolitan Police’s Operation Fernbridge which is investigating various allegations relating to London.
The man who Michael was placed with was in a position of trust professionally and had links to other abuse inquiries and voluntary organisations.
The foster carer was jailed by Ipswich Crown Court for sexually molesting a boy in his care and was subsequently ordered to pay compensation to Michael for abusing him.
Michael is adamant there was a paedophile ring operating in Suffolk with national links to people in positions of power.
Michael said between his foster carer and an intermediary it was arranged he would be taken to see Peter Righton.
The disgraced child care guru has since been unmasked as a paedophile who had access to all echelons of society.
A founding member of the Paedophile Information Exchange he was staying in Suffolk.
Righton’s name has been connected to some of the national abuse scandals currently being investigated.
Michael said he and others were taken to where he was staying near Eye and was abused on around a dozen occasions by Righton.
“whoever investigating THORNHAM MAGNA should check for links to home in Stonham.”
I was known and respected by Suffolk Council as a foster carer and advocate for teens and all was good until this ADMIRALTY Father had a freak out and also I started making enquiries and complaints about FOUR ELMS
all of a sudden persona non grata and they were relieved I left the country?
FOUR ELMS
“In November 2012, the BBC reported that Lawrence McLean, who stayed at Four Elms as a child, was seeking compensation from Suffolk Council for the years of abuse he suffered.
He said at weekends children at the home were lined up and taken into a van where they were sexually assaulted.
He said if any children refused, they were given whisky to get them drunk.
Mr McLean said he was also forced to perform acts in the bed of Victor Copperman, who was once an officer in charge at the home.
An internal Suffolk County Council report in 2010 found that Mr McLean had been “controlled by staff at Four Elms, scary games had been played… and he had been taken into the officer in charge’s bed”. The report concluded: “There is a substantial body of recording of the view by professionals that Lawrence McLean had been psychologically and sexually abused during the period of his residence at Four Elms.” The report recommended that Mr Mclean deserved an apology from the council and be paid £6,500 compensation.
Suffolk County Council refused to apologise and offered him £200 and six counselling sessions.”
“Stonham Parva is just a few miles from the village of Eye in Suffolk, where Lord Henniker’s estate is located. This is where childcare expert and network paedophile Peter Righton and his partner were invited to stay after Righton’s conviction for importing child pornography. Islington Council sent children to Henniker’s estate for years under a scheme called the Islington Suffolk Project. Source: Country house hideaway of disgraced care chief”
Police said they were also investigating allegations of a child sex ring link with the Four Elms home
In 1987 two people were shot and killed at the Four Elms children’s home in Stonham Parva, Suffolk. They were Vic Copperman, the owner of Four Elms, and his girlfriend, Thea Trevelyan.
Deidre Washington was convicted for their murders, although the judge gave her just 18 months in jail after hearing that she killed the couple because her teenage daughter, who had special needs, had been sexually abused at the home.
Joanna Washington’s nightmare began when she was 12. She had developed behavioural problems and learning difficulties at the age of eight, becoming involved in fights, and spent four years moving from home to home until she arrived at Four Elms, where Copperman was principal. There she was plied with whiskey and subjected to vile orgies of drunken debauchery.
At weekends Joanna became the victim of other paedophiles who visited the converted Georgian farmhouse in the Suffolk countryside.
Pornographic videos were taken of the children, and black magic rituals and vicious beatings occurred regularly. Eventually Jo blurted out her story while on holiday with her grandmother. She took Jo to be examined by a doctor, who confirmed that sexual abuse had taken place.
Later Jo gave Suffolk police a 60-page statement of her experiences at Four Elms, and when Dee’s solicitor visited her in Holloway she was told that police had a file eight inches thick of statements taken from former pupils at the home, supporting Jo’s allegations.
Legal proceedings have been taken against the owners of a
private children’s home in Suffolk, after a teenage resident died
in an accident in the home’s grounds.
Damien Thompson, 13, died after a motorbike he was riding in the
grounds of Four Elms home in Stonham Parva crashed into a tree.
Andy White, director of environmental health for Mid Suffolk
district Council, which carried out a four-month inquiry into the
accident, said: ‘We believe there was a fault and have decided
there is justifiable legal action to be taken.’
Action will be taken against Parkside Care, the home’s owners,
under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Parkside Care
director Steve Hughes could not comment because of legal
restrictions.
Thatcher knew that Brittan could have spilled the beans re. Westland and caused her resignation. So why didn’t he? Did they have dirt on him

...documents implicating powerful people had been discovered and not acted upon. One was a letter sent by Charles Napier, another convicted paedophile, and half-brother to John Whittingdale….
1994: Napier, according to his brother, Whittingdale, is “…someone I do not wish to talk about.”
Dame Alun Roberts@ciabaudo
I stumbled across this tweet referring to John Whittingdale having used the alias John Napier ‘in those days’.
Now that is interesting because I was told some time ago that there was a consensus of opinion among police investigators that a John Napier who appeared as #114 on a PIE (Paedophile Information Exchange) membership list was in fact John Whittingdale.
His name appeared ‘namely’ right next to that of his half-brother Charles Napier who affectionately referred to Whippo in correspondence as ‘Little Johnny’, a man who he would entrust stuff to for safekeeping. Charles, a prolific abuser, was a very close friend of Peter Righton.
Shortly after first tweeting about #114 John Napier, this newspaper article suddenly appeared, suggesting John Napier was someone else, a brothel owner who would have been around 70 when PIE was set up. But, as they say, decide for yourselves!
Paedophile Keith Harding at his GCHQ Freemason lodge
Freemason Keith Harding played vital role in Britain’s biggest child sex ring
He met regularly with MPs Leon Brittan and Cyril Smith at his world-renowned workshop.
One of his staff, who worked for him between 1980 and 1987, said: “Leon Brittan and Cyril Smith were both regular visitors to the shop. Usually they would come in via the side door, other times they would ring the bell at the front entrance and come in.“They’d straight away ask for Keith who would be coming down the stairs.“Then they would then either go up to his office for a private meeting or they’d go out for several hours.”The former worker added: “The shop had many high profile customers, including the Royals, because we were one of the few antique dealers in the world that specialised in restoring clocks, music boxes and automatons.“It’s only now, with what I know about Brittan and Smith, and of course Keith, that has made me wonder what they were doing. Jeremy Thorpe too was an occasional visitor.”https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/576187/Keith-Harding-MPs-Leon-Brittan-Cyril-Smith-Jeremy-Thorpehttps://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/579523/Paedophile-Mason-lodge-GCHQSpies displaced from London and Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire, where the German wartime Enigma code was cracked, set up the Mercurius Lodge in 1957.It meets at the Grade IIlisted Cheltenham Masonic Hall, purpose-built in 1823.Harding ran the Mechanical Music Museum 10 miles away in Northleach after moving from London in 1987.In 2013, he organised a trip to the museum for Freemasons and their families.A photograph shows Harding wearing a Masonic apron, collar and medals during a ceremony a couple of years ago.The Mercurius Lodge declined to comment.https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/579523/Paedophile-Mason-lodge-GCHQHenniker link?Does Keith Harding link to Henniker through Framlingham College?

He added in his letter to the D of Ed that to be doubly certain he ( Righton ) had sought a second opinion from a well known child psychiatrist who concurred with his expert opinion
The psychiatrist in question was Dr.Morris Fraser, another convicted paedophile and PIE member who wrote a supporting report on Great Ormond St headed note paperThis allowed Napier to embark on a new teaching career abroad employed by the British Council, founded by the UK Government in 1934
He was able ( by his own admission in a number of letters to Righton over many years ) to abuse countless number of boys in Sweden and Egypt over many years in the late 70’s through the 80’s until 1992 when the arrest of Righton and the discovery of these letters led to his ( Napier’s) immediate dismissalNapier and Righton ” shared ” a large number of victims, and offences,including rape, during the 80’s but never faced charges on any of the most serious cases of abuseMany questions remain unanswered including who were Napier’s referees for his employment with the British CouncilWhy was Righton allowed to reach the very top of the social work profession ( with posts at NISW and the National Children’s Bureau as stepping stones to positions as a Home Office/ Government “expert” on major reports ) despite being caught red handed abusing boys on a large scale in the 1950’s and writing quite openly in NISW and NCB journals, articles etc from 1971 onwards about his views that adult and child sexual relationships were not necessarily harmfulhttps://spotlightonabuse.wordpress.com/page/10/

The Rifkind and Brittan cousins were both involved with both Westland and Unilever.
Lady Diana Brittan was Chair of the Runnymede Trust 1998-99. Diana is the widow of Leon Brittan, former Home Secretary and the man who was investigated by Operation Midland for sex offences. It was reported earlier this year that Lady Diana had received approx £100k in compensation – which was accompanied by a confidentiality clause – from the Metropolitan Police for them daring to investigate Leon. Thatcher appointed Leon as Minister of State at the Home Office in 1979 under Willie Whitelaw and then in 1983 Leon became Home Secretary himself. Whilst Leon was Home Secretary organised child abuse was concealed, the dossier naming Westminster figures who were allegedly molesting children that was given to Leon by Geoffrey Dickens MP was ‘lost’, the police abused their powers repeatedly but action was never taken against them – there was a feeling that the police had become a private army of Thatcher’s Gov’t (see post ‘A Few Of The Relevant Politicians Re Mary Wynch’s Case’). Just about everything that was the responsibility of the Home Office was riddled with corruption under dear old Leon. Whilst Leon was Home Secretary the Home Office gave funding to PIE. Leon left the Cabinet as a result of the scrap over Westland and it has been alleged that he was the fall guy to prevent it being exposed that Thatcher had lied – Leon was given a job as a European Commissioner as compensation. Leon has been named repeatedly as a child abuser himself which is partly what caused him to come to the attention of Operation Midland – that and the allegation from a woman that he had raped her many years ago.
In 2002 ‘The Independent’ ran a toadying article about Diana, identifying her as a ‘new-style Tory wife’, explaining that she was actually very similar to Tony Blair: ‘She’s just where Tony is, she doesn’t act as a result of a traditional, party political, ideological perspective, but from a moral perspective. She does something because its the right thing to do.’ We all know how moral Tony is and how he had a penchant for doing the right thing. He was after all a pretty straight kind of guy – which will be why he lied to Parliament, was mates with Berlusconi and now acts as an advisor to various dictators and kleptocrats.
The Indie was writing about Diana because she had had an upsetting experience. In her capacity as Chair of the National Lottery Community Fund Diana had OK’d grants to what ‘The Daily Mail’ had described as ‘bizarre and politically correct’ causes and ‘The Daily Mail’ had unleashed a ‘hate campaign’ against her. Paul Dacre had become vexed that Diana had given her blessing to grants to a gay choir and an organisation breeding Andean guinea pigs, but the last straw for Dacre was the funding of an organisation helping unsuccessful asylum seekers fighting deportation. The hate campaign was unleashed – the Mail urged readers to WRITE TO DIANA’S OFFICE. That is what poor old Diana was having to deal with, which is what prompted the Indie to describe her as a ‘brave woman with a moral sense of what is right’.
Diana the Brave and Moral has had her fingers in many pies. She sat as a magistrate on the City of London bench from 1984 – whilst she was married to the Home Secretary whilst the police did what they like including amending statements in order to fit people up – and was appointed a member of the EOC in 1989 and then its Deputy Chair, 1994-96. Diana became Deputy Chair of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority in 1990 – whilst IVF clinics lied to their patients and generally fleeced them (see post ‘Every Sperm Is Sacred – Particularly In Scotland’). She was Chair of the Race in Europe Network, Chair of the European Union of Women, Chair of the OU Foundation and a member of the Lord Chancellor’s advisory committee on legal education and conduct. The Indie mentions that Diana is a ‘committee person’ because those are the people who get things done and that the world of committees like people with good networks. Perhaps such as people who are married to other people who concealed serious crime for years and then popped over to Brussels to help out. I expect that Diana has had Dominique Strauss-Kahn to dinner – a delightful man…and Christine Lagarde as well, Christine who Woman’s Hour really loved and put on their Power List. The Christine who was found guilty of ‘negligence’ by the French courts regarding that business of the 403 million euros ‘arbitration’ in favour of Bernard Tapie and would have gone to prison except that she was MD of the IMF and you’re not allowed to put them in prison.
Between 1977-89 Diana was the managing editor of a ‘technical press agency’ – I wonder what sort of sins were involved there. Being the brave moral woman that she is, she ‘advised’ Jonathan Aitken after he was found guilty of perjury and was facing prison.
Diana is involved with the Carnegie UK Trust.
Diana and Leon kept a home in London where they troughed with the rich n famous, but they also had a home in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire, what with Leon being the MP for Richmond. The North Yorkshire which was the centre of a paedophile ring. William Hague succeeded Leon’s seat in Richmond, became Secretary of State for Wales despite all that boasting about being a Yorkshireman through and through and having shown bugger all interest in Wales. Upon his appointment he organised the cover-up into the North Wales Child Abuse Scandal which was the Waterhouse Inquiry. When William was running for the Tory Party leadership he found himself in urgent need of a wife – the Tories were expressing great concern that he was ‘single’, which seemed a little inconsistent in so far as they had no problem with Sir Peter Morrison attending sex parties with under-aged boys from children’s homes in north Wales. Fortunately for William a suitable woman arrived as if to order – Ffion, who had been a senior civil servant in the Welsh Office whilst it concealed criminal conduct in the children’s services and mental health services in north Wales. Love blossomed, although Thatcher was disgusted that Ffion and William shared an hotel room before they were married. I have just purchased a copy of Thatch’s autobiography ‘The Downing Street Years’ – I’ve only read the foreword and introduction so far but I’ve noticed that Peter Morrison is one of those thanked by Thatch in the book. I’m looking forward to reading Thatch’s fond reminiscences re her old mate Jimmy Savile.
Following Diana’s brief stint at the Runnymede, Samir Shah was Chair of the Runnymede Trust until 2009. Samir is a media executive who certainly ticks all the boxes. He was a student at St Catherine’s College, Oxford in the 1970s as were Mandelson and others known to this blog (see post ‘A Study In Tyranny). In 1977 Samir worked for the Intelligence Unit at the Home Office whilst Merlyn Rees was Home Secretary busy concealing criminal activity in north Wales, so he’ll have found out a few interesting things and made a few contacts there (see post ‘The Most Dangerous Man In The World – Part III’). Then in 1979 he joined Mandy and the gang at LWT where he was a researcher and a producer on Eastern Eye, Credo, Weekend World and The London Programme. In 1987 Samir was appointed head of BBC’s TV current affairs and in 1994 he was appointed head of BBC’s Political Programmes, TV and Radio. In 1998 became Chief Exec of Juniper, an independent production company.
Shah was a Trustee for the Medical Foundation of the Victims of Torture, 2004-06 – who I seem to remember a few years ago were found to be harbouring a Top Doctor who had played a key role in the Rwandan Genocide. He was the former Chair of Screen West Midlands and was a non-executive Director of the BBC Board, 2007-10. Shah is on the Board of BAFTA, is or was Deputy Chair at the V&A Museum and in 2014 was appointed Chair of the Geffrye Museum. He is a visiting Prof at Nottingham University and sits on the advisory panel on Oxford University’s Humanities Division. Samir was also on the Advisory Group of the dear old Royal Television Society’s Cambridge Convention in 2015.
Samir Shah was followed as Chair of the Runnymede by Chris Jones who is at present still in post. Chris Jones is another broadcaster and media executive…
So those are the Chairs of the Runnymede Trust. What about the Directors? Well obviously Dipak Nandy was in place until 1973, but then he handed over the reigns to others. The Runnymede has had a few Directors with CV’s and networks as interesting as Dipak.
Usha Prashar was Director, 1977-84. Usha was born in Kenya but came to the UK – Yorkshire – with her family in the 1960s. She went to the independent Wakefield Girls School and then Leeds University, graduating in 1970. A post-graduate course in Social Administration at Glasgow University followed. Directing the Runnymede Trust certainly launched Usha into the action. She was a Fellow of the Policy Studies Institute – a think tank which later merged with Westminster University – between 1984-86 and was then appointed as Director of NCVO – the umbrella organisation for so many charitable organisations concealing serious wrongdoing. Usha was non-executive Chair of the Parole Board, 1997-2000. That was when the Parole Board appointed Colin Berry, David Mawson and Chris Hunter – three Top Doctors who concealed the abuses of psychiatry and the associated paedophile gang in north Wales – as members, as well as a number of other very questionable people.
Usha was appointed a Civil Service Commissioner in 1990 and was First Civil Service Commissioner, 2000-2005. She was a non-executive director of Channel 4, 1992-99 and a non-executive director of UNITE Group plc, 2001-04. UNITE Group plc is ‘the UK’s leading manager and developer of student accommodation’. So they’ll be the ones who built those extravagantly luxurious apartments which were ruthlessly marketed to students including those who couldn’t afford them and ended up in financial trouble. Never mind the quality of your courses, just look at the accommodation that you’ll live in if you come to study here… Usha became a Governor of De Montfort University in 1996 and was Chancellor, 2001-2006. In recent years after the arrival of a new Vice-Chancellor, DMU has became a much happier less dysfunctional place. Whilst Usha was on board however a lot of very odd things went on at DMU and a number of recent graduates ended up in scandals, including a social worker who was caught illegally smuggling a baby into the UK which she had purchased in Africa. The staff at the time kept flagging up that things were unravelling on the ground, but they were ignored.
Usha was also appointed a Trustee of the BBC World Service Trust in 2002 and a non-executive Director of ITV plc in 2005. She is or was President of the Royal Commonwealth Society and Deputy Chair of the British Council. She was Chair of the National Literacy Trust, 2001-05.
Usha served on the Hutton Inquiry into Iraq. The inquiry into the conduct of Usha’s friend Tony Blair who had given Baroness Usha her peerage in 1999.
Usha is a Trustee of Cumberland Lodge, ‘an educational charity initiating fresh debate on the burning questions facing society’. The website of Cumberland Lodge has no sign of anything educational or anything remotely fresh, although the slogan ‘creative thinking and inclusive dialogue’ is emblazoned across the site – but they do hold their meetings in a lovely castle and there’s plenty of photos of that. The castle in question is Windsor Castle. That’s so inclusive that I might drop into a meeting of Cumberland Lodge myself.
The intellectual powerhouse that is Usha is also a Governor of the Ditchley Foundation, which was established to ‘promote international understanding and relations, especially Anglo-American’. The Ditchley Foundation was founded in 1958 by Sir David Wills, a descendant of W.D. and H.O. Wills, the tobacco barons. It is based in Ditchley Park, another splendid building for Usha to do her thinking in, near Chipping Norton. So Rebekah Brooks and Cameron are just down the road then.
The Chair of the Ditchley Foundation is Lord George Robertson, Secretary of State for Defence under Blair, 1997-99 and then NATO General Secretary, 1999-2003. That went well then. The Chairman of the Ditchley Foundation between 2000-09 was Sir John Major, former PM, one time bedfellow of Edwina Currie and the protector of the paedophiles of north Wales via the vehicle of William Hague.
The Director of the Ditchley Foundation from 2010-16 was Sir John Holmes, a former diplomat who also held a senior role with the UN. Sir John was Principal Private Secretary to Blair whilst Blair was PM and he was also involved in the N Ireland peace talks – in which whatever happened at the Kincora Boys Home was used as a negotiating tool. Sir John Holmes has just been appointed Chair of the Electoral Commission.
The Director of the Ditchley Foundation, 1999-04 was Sir Nigel Broomfield, a former diplomat who was Chairman of Leonard Cheshire Disability, 2004-09.
Virtually all the Directors are of this ilk – former diplomats who have done a stint with the UN and who often have links to defence officials.
What about Usha’s fellow Governors at the Ditchley Foundation? Here are the names of some of them:
Lord Adonis, David Cameron, Margaret Beckett, Virginia Bottomley, Lord Carrington, Robin Butler, Shami Chakrabarty, Menzies Campbell, David Hunt, Geoffrey Howe, Neil Kinnock, David Miliband, Pauline Neville-Jones, Malcolm Rifkind, Jack Straw, Shirley Williams, Peter Jay, Paul Boateng.

The Queen has been patron of Leonard Cheshire Disability since 1980. She offered Park House on the Sandringham Estate to our charity, which is now used as an award-winning hotel for disabled people.
Park House was offered to the Leonard Cheshire Disability charity by the Queen in 1987

Patricia Thornton of Haut de la Garenne on the Raines list

Patricia Thornton oversaw Haut de la Garenne during the 1950s and early 1960s.
The octogenarian — who in 1996 was awarded an MBE, a prestigious British award by Queen Elizabeth for her services to the community — insists that no abuse took place under her watch.
“I am quite sure I would have known if there were such incidents,” Thornton said in an interview with ABC News.
Clockwise from top left: Phil Mourant, John Rodhouse, John Le Marquand, Charles Smith, Reg Jeune, Jim Thompson – Senior Officials who have never seen any thing wrong in Haut de la Haut de la Garenne
Senior officials were Jersey home staff
Feb 29, 2008
A number of staff at the Jersey children’s home where claims of child abuse are being investigated include former senior education officials and a former minister for finance on the island.
A child’s skull has been found in the cellar of the home, and it was confirmed today that “significant” finds announced yesterday included a shallow bath and shackles. Former residents had claimed such devices were kept in the cellar where children were allegedly drugged and abused.
The names released today include the island’s former senator and finance minister Reg Jeune, who was president of the education committee from 1971 to 1984 and lives on the island.
One of the home’s former staff is Jersey’s director of education, Mario Lundy, and previous education directors were John Rodhouse, who held the position in 1974 and Herbert Wimberley in 1962.
John le Marquand was president of the island’s education committee from 1960; it is understood he lives in a care home in St Helier.
Terry Streetle was a children’s officer in 1986 and is now thought to live in west London.
Patricia Thornton was the island’s children’s officer in the early 1960s and Charles Smith, also a children’s officer, retired in 1984.
Frank Walker, the island’s chief minister, said that no government employees were the “subject of any police recommendation”.
Patricia Thornton, who was responsible for the wellbeing of youngsters in the home from the early Fifties to 1973, insists she took no part in any abuse or cover-up.
The 85-year-old, who lives in the village of Cheriton, Hampshire, said: “It’s awful if it’s true but I saw no evidence of it when I was there. “I just find it difficult to believe that all these horrible things were going on and I knew nothing about it.”
Miss Thornton, who received an MBE in 1996 for her services to the community, said she was proud of her work at the home.
She added: “When I first arrived in Jersey, there was a home for boys at Haut de la Garenne and a separate home for girls which was not being run very well.
“I was very concerned about the welfare of the girls so I closed it down, pensioned off the lady who had been running it and moved the girls into the boys’ home. I was very surprised when I read about the scandal. I feel quite shattered.”
But police are continuing to treat Morag Jordan, a former matron at the home, as a suspect.
Half of all top IRA men ‘worked for security services’
December 21 2011
Half of all senior IRA members in the Troubles were working for intelligence services, a secret dossier of evidence into the murder of two RUC men has claimed.
The remarkable document has laid bare a startling series of claims about the infiltration of both the police and terror groups during the ‘Dirty War’.
It claims the IRA ran agents in the RUC and also that Dundalk Garda station was regarded by British intelligence as “a nest of vipers”, with at least two officers actively assisting the Provos.
The information is contained in a secret 24-page document in the name of Ian Hurst — a British intelligence whistleblower — which has been seen by the Belfast Telegraph.
The sensational claims are due to be made to Justice Peter Smithwick’s Dublin tribunal of inquiry into the murder of two senior RUC officers in 1989.
The victims, Chief Superintendent Harry Breen and Superintendent Robert Buchanan, died in a hail of IRA gunfire as they crossed the border following an intelligence exchange with the Garda in Dundalk.
The dossier also claims:
The shadowy Force Research Unit (FRU) had a file on suspected rogue gardai prepared to pass information to the IRA and act as its agents. MI5 also had a network of agents with the Garda.
The IRA had a network of informants in public agencies such as social security offices and vehicle licensing departments.
One in four IRA members was an agent, rising to one in two among senior members.
Martin McGuinness was involved in all strategic military decisions taken by the IRA.
At the centre of the web of intrigue sat the IRA’s head of internal security, the agent known as Stakeknife, who took information from rogue gardai while himself working for British intelligence.
Perhaps the most shocking claim is that a rogue Garda Sergeant leaked intelligence to Stakeknife. Stakeknife has been identified as Freddie Scappaticci, a veteran Belfast republican.
Scappaticci has strongly denied working for British intelligence and said he had cut his links with the IRA in 1990. He is legally represented at the Smitwick Tribunal and is now considering giving evidence in person.
Last night Mr Hurst refused to comment on the document.
He said: “I believe that this was made public to mess me about. I cannot comment on it because of an injunction preventing me from giving details of my career in special forces.”
Mr Hurst worked in military intelligence between 1981 and 1990, spending most of that time in the FRU, responsible for handling agents and informants in Irish paramilitary groups. The injunction has been varied to allow him to give evidence to Smithwick in Dublin.
However tribunal lawyers are insisting that he give his testimony in closed session, something he suspects is part of a deal with the British authorities to limit potentially embarrassing disclosures.
One of the alleged rogue officers in Dundalk has already been indentified. Owen Corrigan, a detective sergeant, was named by Jeffrey Donaldson under Parliamentary privilege. Mr Corrigan, now retired, has always denied the allegation and appeared at the tribunal to reject them. He is one of three gardai, two based in Dundalk and one in Donegal, named in the document.
In the document Mr Hurst says “the fact that a Garda was passing information to the IRA did not bother me anymore or any less than in the same way members of the RUC/UDR/BA (British Army) occasionally passed information to the IRA and regularly to members of various loyalist paramilitaries.”
Mr Hurst assisted John Stevens’ inquiry into security force collusion with terrorists in Northern Ireland.
The document states Lord Stevens told him that of 210 terrorist suspects he arrested, only three were not security force agents, and some worked for several agencies.
Background
The Smithwick Tribunal is examining claims that members of the Irish police or other employees of the Irish State colluded in the murders of the two most senior RUC officers to die in the Troubles. Chief Superintendent Harry Breen and Supt Robert Buchanan were shot dead while returning from a meeting at Dundalk Garda station in the Republic. The tribunal has so far heard evidence from a number of witnesses, some of whom have alleged that members of the Garda passed information to the IRA.
A MAN FROM THE DARK CORNER OF MILITARY INTELLIGENCE
Doubts about Ian Hurst’s reliability were dispelled after I published stories based on his information back in 1999.
The first, an unlikely sounding tale claiming military intelligence had doctored bullets used to shoot Gerry Adams, was immediately confirmed by the Defence Advisory Committee. After that he was arrested, and I was questioned under caution.
For a time I gave him the pseudonym Martin Ingram to obscure his identity, but now that alias has been dropped.
He was the first member of the Force Research Unit (FRU) — the dark corner of military intelligence which ran agents in terrorist groups — to speak publicly.
He had two tours of duty in Northern Ireland. Between 1982 and 1990 he was in Londonderry handling agents like Frank Hegarty, an IRA quartermaster later murdered for betraying a cache of Libyan weapons, and Willie Carlin, who got out just ahead of the execution squad.
A second tour was in Enniskillen between 1990 and 1991. There he met his wife, from a Donegal republican family. That affected his vetting and he bought himself out of the Army in 2003.
Penetration of the Provisionals
Mr Hurst was responsible for handling agents in the IRA and for a time had enhanced access to other agents’ reports, though not their names, on military intelligence computers. He has painted a picture of an organisation penetrated at almost every level and with its head of security, Stakeknife, working for the other side. The document says: “As a rough guide you should expect one in four PIRA volunteers to be agents of one agency or another.” Lord Stevens (above), the former Met chief, is quoted as
saying that only three out of 210 terrorist suspects he arrested in a collusion probe in Northern Ireland were not working for either the RUC, MI5 or the Army. The document claims that Hurst secretly taped a conversation with RAF Air Vice Marshal Andrew Vallance, who was quoted as telling him that the most sensitive matter was the identity of Stakeknife and his role as a British agent.
IRA agents within the Garda
The document claims that the FRU had a file on suspected rogue gardai prepared to pass information to the IRA and act as its agents. It names three people who were allegedly on the list, two in Dundalk and one in Donegal. It quotes Basil Walsh, a senior Garda officer who Mr Hurst met in 1999, as saying he was aware of one named Garda who worked for the IRA. Mr Walsh allegedly told him “that every time something was done to try and eradicate the mess something happened to intervene”. The document also claims MI5 had a network of agents with the Garda. MP Jeffrey Donaldson has named retired detective sergeant Owen Corrigan under Parliamentary privilege in the House of Commons in April 2000, as being a “rogue garda”. Mr Corrigan denies all allegations of collusion. Last week former agent Kevin Fulton claimed Corrigan was passing information to the IRA and was regarded as a “friend” of the group
Role of McGuinness in the IRA
MR Hurst once backed claims that Martin McGuinness reported to MI6, the British foreign intelligence agency. This was based on a document passed to him, and accepted by him in good faith, after he left the Army but which appears to have been a forgery. The document does not repeat that claim but it does put Mr McGuinness in a central role in the IRA. It states the IRA’s “security unit came under the operational command of Northern Command” and adds “the person in charge of that unit throughout the entire Troubles was PIRA member Mr James Martin McGuinness”. It accuses McGuinness of being “directly involved in matters of life and death for persons rightly or indeed wrongly suspected of informing on PIRA members. Mr McGuinness was also a key player in the long-term strategic strategies used by PIRA”. McGuinness has always denied such a leading role and stated that he left the IRA in the early 1970s.
Republican intelligence gathering
It is claimed that the IRA had a network of informants in public agencies such as social security offices and vehicle licensing, North and South. This echoes claims by Martin McGartland , a former RUC agent in the IRA. One section of the document reads: “PIRA was extensively penetrated at all levels, most sources of the information to PIRA were readily identified (by military intelligence) but seldom compromised.” To back up its claims that the intelligence services turned a blind eye to IRA intelligence sources, it claims that in the early 1990s a FRU agent was targeted by the IRA with the help of a social security employee who is still working in the same office. It claims that the IRA could informally “obtain information from driver licensing, social security, councils, utilities far quicker than the FRU”, especially in cross-border areas where red tape was involved in working through the RUC and Garda.
Stakeknife, the Army’s key agent
Stakeknife was a key military intelligence agent within the IRA, a man with a hotline of his own which gave him direct contact with dedicated handlers in an office known as the ‘rat hole’. When he called, he identified himself with a code number, but Mr Hurst learned his true identify by chance while manning the phone. Stakeknife had been caught drink-driving and gave uniformed police the hotline number in an effort to extricate himself. Hurst vouched for him, and it has been claimed that Stakeknife was Freddie Scappaticci, though Mr Scappaticci strongly denies this. The document expands on Stakeknife’s role as head of the IRA internal security. It claims he controlled IRA agents in the Garda. The most corrosive suggestion which Justice Peter Smithwick will have to consider is that officers Breen and Buchanan were allowed to die rather than risk compromising the Army’s most important agent in Ireland.
The web of collusion and spies
MR Hurst has frequently claimed some members of the RUC, UDR and Army colluded with terror groups. The statement portrays a wilderness of mirrors in which every organisation has the other penetrated to some degree and “all sources have a shelf life”. It talks of British agents in the Garda, Garda agents in Northern Ireland, IRA agents in the RUC and Garda and RUC agents in the IRA. It states “the fact that a Garda was passing information to the IRA did not bother me any more or any less than in the same way members of the RUC/UDR/BA (British Army) passed information to the IRA and members of various loyalist paramilitaries. It was a matter for HQNI and the RUC and way above my pay grade … in other words it was a strategic and not a tactical problem”. It concludes that none of this “registered massively on the Richter scale, it was just a fact of life, indeed it was well within the rules of our game!”
A BELFAST woman is suing British agent Freddie Scappaticci for allegedly sexually assaulting her when she was a child.
Court papers seen by The Irish News reveal that the IRA member is accused of assaulting the woman between 1976 and 1978. She is claiming for personal injury, loss and damages.
The woman is believed to have been a teenager at the time. It is understood the allegations were reported to police.
A PSNI spokesman said: “We do not comment on named individuals and no inference should be drawn from this.”
The woman is also claiming damages from the PSNI chief constable and the secretary of state for the Home Department, which has responsibility for the Home Office.
Although Stakeknife is believed to have been handled by the British army, police and MI5 may also have had knowledge of his role.
The claim against the chief constable is for personal injury, loss and damages by negligence and misfeasance in public office in causing or permitting the abuse. The woman is also claiming on the grounds that police failed to investigate the abuse.
It is claimed that Scappaticci was a key member of the IRA’s internal security unit and was involved in interrogating dozens of suspected informers, some of whom were later killed.
Before Christmas Scappaticci pleaded guilty to possessing disturbing images. Westminster Magistrates Court heard that the charges related to at least 329 images, many involving animals.
Officers from Operation Kenova – set up to investigate Stakeknife – discovered images after seizing a laptop which was on a living room coffee table when they searched Scappaticci’s home last January.
Prosecution papers obtained by The Irish News revealed that Scappaticci had a history of depression and had tried to take his own life.
He later claimed he viewed extreme pornography because he was feeling depressed and suicidal.
The woman’s solicitor, Kevin Winters of KRW Law, said: “As this case touches upon matters of huge sensitivity it wouldn’t be appropriate to go into any detail or comment other than to confirm the High Court action forms part of a wider series of themed litigation against the state and other parties.”

The Ultimate Evil by Maury Terry
Secret service infiltrated paedophile group to ‘blackmail establishment’
BRITISH security services infiltrated and funded the notorious Paedophile Information Exchange in a covert operation to identify and possibly blackmail establishment figures, a Home Office whistleblower alleges.
The former civil servant has told detectives investigating the activities of paedophiles in national politics that the Metropolitan Police’s Special Branch was orchestrating the child-sex lobbying group in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The whistleblower, who has spoken exclusively to the Sunday Express, says he was also warned off asking why such a notorious group was being handed government money.
It emerged late last year that PIE was twice gave amounts of £35,000 in Home Office funding between 1977 and 1980, the £70,000 total equivalent to over £400,000 in today’s money.
Those details surfaced only after the whistleblower highlighted his concerns to campaigning Labour MP Tom Watson and his revelations have triggered an ongoing Home Office inquiry into why the cash was given to PIE which was abolished in 1985 after a number of prosecutions.
Until now, speculation about the grant has centred on Clifford Hindley, the late Home Office manager who approved the payments. However, the whistleblower told the Sunday Express he thought higher and more sinister powers were at play.
He has given a formal statement to that effect to detectives from Operation Fernbridge, which is looking into allegations of historic sex abuse at the Elm Guest House in south-west London
PIE, now considered one of the most notorious groups of the era, had gained respectability in political circles. Its members are said to have included establishment figures, and disgraced Liberal MP Cyril Smith was a friend of founder member Peter Righton.
In 1981, Tory MP Geoffrey Dickens used Parliamentary privilege to name Sir Peter Hayman, as a member of PIE and an active paedophile. In 1983 Mr Dickens gave the Home Office a dossier of what he claimed was evidence of a paedophile network of “big, big names, people in positions of power, influence and responsibility”. The Home Office says the dossier no longer exists.
Whistleblower Mr X, whose identity we have agreed to protect, became a very senior figure in local government before retiring a few years ago. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, he was a full-time consultant in the Home Office’s Voluntary Services Unit run by Clifford Hindley.
In 1979 Mr X was asked to examine a funding renewal application for PIE, but he became concerned because the organisation’s goal of seeking to abolish the age of consent “conflicted” with the child protection policies of the Department of Health and Social Security and asked for a meeting with Mr Hindley, his immediate boss.
PIE was being funded at the request of Special Branch which found it politically useful to identify people who were paedophiles. This led me not to pursue my objections. At that time, questioning anything to do with Special Branch, especially within the Home Office, was a ‘no-no’.
“I was under the clear belief that I was being instructed to back off and that his reference to Special Branch was expected to make me to do so.
He asked for a file the Home Office kept on PIE, but his request was refused. However, he was certain then Tory Home Office Minister Tim Raison, who died in 2011, must have signed the 1980 funding application.
Mr X has given a formal written statement to the inquiry set up last year into former Home Office links with PIE but has refused to meet the inquiry in person because he fears “repercussions” under the Official Secrets Act.
Special Branch was an integral part of the intelligence service gathering intelligence on spies and political threats to the state.

PIE secretary Keith Harding
One of his former employees said the clockmaker had described his role for the group as “membership secretary”.
In December 1980, the BBC’s Jim’ll Fix It filmed Harding at his workshop in Islington, north London, where he fixed a music box belonging to a 13-year-old girl whose letter was shown on screen requesting the repair.
She then appeared with her younger brother in the studio alongside Harding and Savile.
The girl’s brother Dean, now in his 40s, has told BBC News the feature was “set up” by the production team who instigated the item by approaching the family.
He said: “She was asked to write that letter. The way it came about was that my uncle was asked by his then girlfriend, who was a researcher at the BBC, if anybody in the family had a musical box.
“Obviously the letter must have been done after the facts.”

Vicki Butler, deputy director for safeguarding and care at Gloucestershire County Council, said: “Mr Harding’s past offences happened outside the county more than 50 years ago and we have no power to regulate or prevent a private business being set up.
“When he became known to us in the 90s, together with the police and other partners, we carried out an investigation and took appropriate action at the time.”
According to the BBC, Mr Harding was part of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) and knew Jimmy Saville.

The Paedophile Information Exchange PIE was allegedly given £70,000 by the Home Office between 1977 and 1980 – the equivalent today of about £400,000.
A former Home Office worker revealed that Jim Callaghan’s Labour government and Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative administration, which took over in 1979, may have provided funding for PIE.
The whistleblower said senior civil servant Clifford Hindley, who was head of the Home Office’s voluntary services unit, signed off a three year grant for £35,000 in 1980.
Sir Charles Irving was ‘blamed’ by GP Clive Froggatt, a top Tory health advisor and think tank guru for NHS reforms, as receiving supplies of diamorphine (pharmaceutical heroin), when in fact it was the GP himself who was obtaining the drug by deception for his own use.
Froggatt had claimed that he was secretly obtaining diamorphine through forged prescriptions from chemists to conceal the fact that he was treating the late MP for Cheltenham, Sir Charles Irving. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/me…s-1593682.html
At his headline-hitting trial in 1994, he told how he had turned to drug abuse when his NHS reforms were savaged by critics.
He began writing out prescriptions for heroin – medical name diamorphine – using false names of patients who had recently died.
Froggatt was caught when a routine check of chemists’ records revealed he had obtained more than 43 grammes of the drug in just two years. When arrested, he claimed he was using the drug as a painkiller for his close friend and Tory MP for Cheltenham Sir Charles Irving, who he said was dying of AIDS and has subsquently passed away from cancer.
Sir Charles denied this. Froggatt received a suspended sentence and the case was referred to the General Medical Council.
Interestingly enough, one of these articles notes that Froggatt was an advisor on the Cruise/Kidman film, ‘Eyes Wide Shut’.
Dr Clive Froggatt argues that the Government must prescribe heroin if it is to stand any chance of beating the drugs problem that costs this country billions of pounds every year.
Dr Clive Froggatt was a consultant to a succession of Conservative Health Secretaries and Margaret Thatcher’s advisor on NHS reform. Dr Froggatt, who was a secret heroin addict, was forced to resign from his advisory role when he was discovered faking prescriptions to feed his habit. He argues, from a very personal perspective, that the Government must prescribe heroin if it is to stand any chance of beating the drugs problem that costs this country billions of pounds every year.
When arrested, he claimed he was using the drug as a painkiller for his close friend and Tory MP for Cheltenham Sir Charles Irving, who he said was dying of AIDS
Clive Froggatt– Clive Froggatt, a leading physician in England, and a favorite of prime minister Margaret Thatcher and a very senior government health adviser to both Margaret Thatcher and John Major, was addicted to heroin, allegedly taking up to eight fixes a day.
William Waldegrave, the health secretary, giving details of the two enquiries launched in the aftermath of the case, described Beck as evil. He said that the Commons had shown its support for Mr Janner.
Keith Vaz, Labour MP for Leicester East, condemned the ”cowardly attacks” on Mr Janner. Michael Latham, Tory MP for Rutland and Melton, said that Mr Janner had been the target of ”vile allegations and lies”.
As Beck was sentenced, William Waldegrave, the former health secretary announced two inquiries. One would investigate the selection of staff in Britain’s children’s homes. The other, chaired by Andrew Kirkwood QC which is reporting today, would find out why staff at one of Britain’s biggest social services departments failed to act on warnings which would have lead them to the discovery of a catalogue of abuse. Allegations of physical and sexual abuse were first made in 1980 – seven years after Beck started working as an officer in charge of a children’s home. They continued over the next six years, from children and social workers, and on four different occasions were passed on to police. After one investigation, police charged Beck with assault. However, he was subsequently acquitted after a crown court trial in 1982. Despite these allegations, Beck continued working at The Beeches, Leicester Forest East, where he had been officer in charge since 1978. He had spent the previous five years working at The Poplars – a home in Market Harborough – before moving to Ratcliffe Road children’s home. He eventually resigned in 1986 after he was suspended following an allegation of sexual harassment by a fellow member of staff. However he was given references which enabled him to take jobs with Brent and Hertfordshire social services. He also worked with charities.
Froggatt also worked on a Tory health service think-tank with MP David Willetts, who was forced to resign for trying to nobble a Commons committee probing sleaze.
Froggatt, an advisor”on heroin movie Eyes Wide Shut starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, publicly claims he is now “clean”.
When arrested, he claimed he was using the drug as a painkiller for his close friend and Tory MP for Cheltenham Sir Charles Irving, who he said was dying of AIDS
Froggatt was brought into the Conservative fold in 1983 by Sir Norman Fowler and quickly became an adviser to the powerful Downing Street policy unit.
Froggatt developed a close friendship with Virginia Bottomley and frequently dined at her house.
Froggatt even told friends that he advised her on everything from how she enters a room to how she does her hair.
Ken Clarke once asked him to stand in for him at an Oxford Union health deb
When he had an idea, he rang Tory ministers and they listened.

Keith Harding and Eva announce their engagement at the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers banquet
Child protection campaigners have called for the official inquiry into historical abuse to examine the extent of Harding’s business and political links.
He was convicted of indecent assault against four children aged eight and nine in the late 1950s and was a “schedule 1” offender – meaning his convictions remained on his police file for life.
But he was later given the Freedom of the City of London and became a member of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers, meeting business and political figures at the height of his career.
The Corporation of London said Harding’s vetting for the Freedom of the City was carried out by his livery company.

Keith Harding, former membership secretary of the Paedophile Information Exchange (Pie) was made Worshipful Master of the Mercurius Lodge in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, in 2011.
The child molester, who died last summer, presided over ceremonies and rituals from an ornate throne.
Harding was convicted of an indecent assault against four children aged eight and nine in 1958 and classified a Schedule-1 offender, which meant the offence remained on his criminal record all his life.
His name was also on a list of about 400 Pie members seized by police in 1984, the year the organisation disbanded.
CIRENCESTER Male Voice Choir could be excused for getting pre-performance nerves as they prepare to perform to a 5,000-strong audience at the Royal Albert Hall.

Founder Phil Kerton said it would be a proud moment for Cirencester.
When the group was first formed in 2009 it had just 12 members, but since then it has gone from strength to strength and now has 40 singers, aged between 16 and 85, who take part in concerts and competitions all over the country.
Choir member Keith Harding said he would not be nervous about performing next week. “I took part in the first Night of1,000 Voices concert at the Royal Albert Hall about 25 years ago. It was great fun setting a new record,” he said

A dishonest solicitor who creamed off pounds 200,000 of clients’ money to prevent his home being repossessed was struck off by the Solicitor’s Disciplinary Tribunal yesterday.
Andrew Dutton, aged 55, from Worcester, also put a major murder trial in jeopardy after he was granted legal aid for representing a client despite it being illegal for him to do so.
The Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in central London was told yesterday that Dutton had been a partner at John Martlew and Company in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
The Law Society carried out an investigation of the firm’s accounts in May 1998 and discovered a number of irregularities.
David Shaw, an investigating and compliance officer for the society, told the hearing Dutton misused funds while investing money on behalf of an American company, CHA, and a Russian firm, DMC, which were looking to buy a Russian mine.
He failed to tell either that this created a conflict of interest and simply continued to invest for them both.
‘Mr Dutton was then granted power of attorney over the Russian company and they released seven bills of exchange, valued at $1 million each. These were put into the account of a close friend of Mr Dutton’s in New Jersey, known as Mr C,’ said Mr Shaw.
The hearing was told that pounds 80,000 of this sum was placed in Dutton’s own bank account, a further pounds 30,000 went into another account and Dutton took pounds 10,000 in cash.
Mr Shaw said considerable sums of money were transferred through Mr C’s Abbey National account in Cheltenham and eventually they ended up in Dutton’s account.
Mr Shaw said Mr C had pounds 100,000 in his account at one point which was used to pay off Dutton’s mortgage after his home was threatened with repossession. Cash was also used to pay off a substantial overdraft.
Dutton’s partners at John Martlew and Company in Cheltenham were completely unaware of his actions and had no part in any of the transactions.
The tribunal also heard how Dutton was banned from practising as a fully-fledged solicitor in February, 1999, but despite it being illegal for him to practice on his own, he set up Dutton and Company and made illegal claims for legal aid payments in his work as a duty solicitor.
After applying for permission from the Law Society, he was employed as a consultant under supervision at the local law firm R A Eggleton and Company.
During this time, Dutton applied for legal aid for a client on a murder charge despite being barred from doing so.
Solicitor Roger Eggleton said: ‘He was representing the client and came into my office one day and said ‘I’ve hit the jackpot’.’
Striking him off, tribunal chairman Barrie Marsh said: ‘Mr Dutton is a very dishonest man who has misled clients and practised illegally.’
He was also ordered to pay the ‘substantial’ costs of the case although no amount was given.
Serial killer Rose West’s nephew abducted and raped 12-year-old girl
6th November 2017
Sick Steven Letts, 38, plied the young girl with cocaine, cannabis and vodka.He abducted and had sex with the child after they met in the street and she asked him for a cigarette.The girl was with her support worker but went off with Letts after he offered her a joint in Gloucester city centre on March 6 this year.It’s the same city his aunt Rose and husband Fred tortured and murdered at least 12 people – with nine of the bodies discovered buried more than 20 years later.The support worker said she warned Letts the girl, who lives in care, was underage.
Rose West was born Rosemary Letts in Northam in Devon to William Letts and Daisy Fuller.
She is now an inmate at HMP Low Newton, Brasside, Durham, after being convicted of ten murders in 1995.
Are Fred West’s first victims buried in a Glasgow allotment? Hollywood producer urges police to reopen case amid claims the killer’s murder spree began in Scotland in the early 1960s
Paul Pender, a Hollywood producer, wants to reopen the Fred West murder file
He is urging police to search a Glasgow allotment for bodies from the 1960s
Police Scotland said they will look at all evidence regardless of the time passed
12 August 2018
Fred West may have murdered many more innocent people and buried them in an allotment in Glasgow, it has been claimed.
The serial killer and his deranged wife Rose murdered, raped and dismembered young women, including two of their own daughters.
But Fred, who killed himself before being brought to trial on twelve murder charges, is now believed to have killed many more.
Hollywood producer Paul Pender was tipped off about more victims at a family funeral by a man who worked with West’s first wife Rena who Fred later killed.
The former abattoir employee told Mr Pender to investigate further.
Fred West is known to have killed at least 12 women and ran over a young boy in Glasgow before moving to Gloucester
Serial killer couple Rose West (left) and Fred West (right) killed girls in their home. A Hollywood producer named Paul Pender believes more victims are buried in Glasgow
As a result the screenwriter believes there are more bodies buried in an allotment which West used in the early 1960s.
He said there is an ‘inarguable’ case to crack open the West file once more because we ‘owe it to the victims’.
Mr Pender believes high tech scanning equipment could be used on the ground.
Fred and Rose were finally arrested in 1994 and nine bodies were found at the house of horrors in Gloucester.
The rapes and horrifying killings took place between 1967 and 1987. Rose West was jailed for life for ten murders while Fred killed himself before court where he was charged 12 counts of murder.
Pender is also calling for officers to look into the death of Henry Feeney, a three-year-old in Glasgow’s Castlemilk district.
West ran him over in an ice-cream truck and at the time it was said to be an accident.

But it is now believed West lured him to a quiet spot and ran him over on purpose by telling him to retrieve a ball from bushes, before reversing into him and killing him.
Fred West and Rena Costello, later Rena West, moved to Gloucester but after difficulties in the marriage Rena fled back to Scotland.
When she returned to Gloucester to find her daughter – who was not Fred’s child – she was killed by West who had already killed the girl named Charmaine.
Police Scotland said: ‘We will investigate all reports regardless of what time has passed and would encourage anyone who has information to come forward.’
THE TRAGIC VICTIMS OF THE HOUSE OF HORRORS MURDERERS
Although Fred West was convicted of killing 12 women and Rose 10, the pair are thought to have killed up to 20 more.
One victim who was almost certainly killed by West was his former girlfriend Anne McFall who like the others, was found in a shallow grave with body parts missing. West denied it.
The waped pair used whips to torture their victims as well as their own children.
Fred West committed suicide by hanging himself in a prison cell in January 1995 — before he could stand trial for the murders.
Rose West is still a prisoner at HMP Low Newton in Durham, having been handed a rare ‘whole life tariff’ for her part in the killings.
Confirmed victims include:
Charmaine West, eight: Fred West’s stepdaughter from his first marriage, Charmaine was murdered by Rose in 1971 while Fred was in prison.
Rena Costello, 27: Charmaine’s mother Rena, Fred’s first wife, was murdered when she arrived to pick up her daughter Charmaine in August 1971. With Charmaine already dead, it is thought Fred killed her to avoid an investigation.
Lynda Gough, 20: Miss Gough was a lodger in the West’s home and was killed in April 1973. Rose told her mother she had moved to Weston-super-Mare.
Carol Ann Cooper, 15: The teenager disappeared while walking home from the cinema to her Worcester children’s home in November 1973. Her remains were found buried in the Wests’ garden.
Lucy Partington, 21: After spending Christmas with her family in Cheltenham, Miss Partington disappeared after leaving to catch a bus. The student was the cousin of novelist Martin Amis and the sister of author Marian Partington.
Lucy went missing in 1973 after visiting friends in Cheltenham. She was killed by the Wests
Therese Siegenthaler, 22: The South London student was killed in April 1974 after disappearing while attempting to hitch-hike to Ireland.
Shirley Hubbard, 15: One of the Wests’ youngest victims, she disappeared on her way home from college in Droitwich. When her body was discovered, her head was completely covered in tape with a rubber tube placed in her mouth to allow her to breathe.
Juanita Mott, 18: Miss Mott, a former lodger at 25 Cromwell Street, was living in Newent when she vanished.
Shirley Robinson, 19: Another lodger, Miss Robinson was killed in 1978 after becoming pregnant with West’s child.
Alison Chambers, 17: The teenager disappeared in August 1979 and her remains were later found beneath the patio at 25, Cromwell Street.
Heather West, 17: Repeatedly raped by her father, Heather complained to friends about the abuse and was murdered by her parents in a bid to keep her quiet.
Home Office pathologist Sir Bernard Spilsbury carried out a post-mortem on the torso and other remains and decided they belonged to a missing man, Captain William Butt of Cheltenham.
Anthony Milsom, a paedophile from Hull, who is alleged to have stayed at the property, later moved to Newtown, Powys, where he was convicted of a string of sex offences dating back to the 1990s, including 21 counts of making indecent photographs of children and five counts of indecent assault on a girl when she was aged between 4 and eight. He was jailed indefinitely at Mold Crown Court in March 2011, but six months later appeal court judges reduced his sentence to three-and-a-half years.
Milsom, unemployed and originally from Hull in East Yorkshire
Milsom admitted a series of offences dating back to the early 1990s including 16 counts of possessing indecent images of children, 21 charges of making indecent images, five charges of indecent assault on a little girl when she was aged between four and eight.
Newtown sex offender Anthony Milsom has sentence cut
29 July 2011
Anthony Martin Milsom, 62, from Newtown, Powys, was jailed in March after admitting indecent assault, and possessing and making indecent images.
The original sentencing judge said his case would “chill the blood of the parent of any young child.”
But Appeal Court judges said his crimes did not justify an open-ended sentence.
When he was first sentenced, Mold crown court was told that Milsom’s large collection of indecent images revealed his fascination with the murder, abduction and rape of young female children.
Police found in his home more than 5,100 indecent drawings, more than 200 photographs, 127,700 still images, together with 500 films and 188 home-made videos.
Cecil Barbaro – Walton on Thames (very near Weybridge – Kitty and co)
Community worker wins MBE honour
A COMMUNITY worker who has set up numerous charities and projects for Elmbridge has been recognised in the New Years’ honours list.
2 JUL 2013
Cecil Barbaro, from Walton was awarded the MBE for services to the community.
Throughout his work as a volunteer, Cecil has worked closely with Surrey Police.
The force’s chief superintendent Carl Crathern, borough Inspector David Hollingsworth, as well as Elmbridge youth affairs officer Brian Kingston nominated him for the honour.
He told the News & Mail: “It was a complete surprise and I have a great appreciation for what Surrey Police has done for me.
When I first got the letter I just looked at it for ten minutes and wondered if they had got the right person.
“I hope I can receive this award for all of the volunteers who all work so hard.”
Indisputedly a pillar of the community, Cecil was instrumental in setting up the neighbourhood watch support group, national neighbourhood watch.
He had a hand in the police and community partnership group for Walton and Hersham, Fieldcommon tenants and residents group,
the youth strategy group,
the Brooklands Auto Project,
community one-stop shops,
Elmbridge Mediation Service,
Victim Support Scheme,
Carers of Elmbridge and Young Carers.
Such an impressive CV is the result of a lot of hard work.
“It does require a lot of energy,” Cecil said. “What drives one really is to think: What it is you’re trying to achieve, is it necessary, is it achievable and the most important thing — is it affordable?”
Illness prevented Cecil from achieving the introduction of one-stop shops in the borough, which would have enabled residents to resolve problems with the council in one fell swoop.
Now fighting fit again, he is considering work with MacMillan Cancer Relief.
Cecil explained that his one project invariably led to another. “I became involved with Elmbridge mediation because I thought the police were being involved in a lot of unnecessary work — border disputes and that kind of thing,” he explained.
“I realised when I was at the CAB there was a need for carers of Elmbridge – that’s what got it going.”
Chief Supt Carl Crathern said: “On behalf of all the staff on North Surrey Division, I am delighted that Cecil has been rewarded and recognised for the tremendous personal investment of time and effort he has spent in improving life for the people of Elmbridge.
“His contribution to police, community and voluntary services has been immense, despite the times he has faced a lack of support and resistance from others, his drive and determination won through.”
(The more observant may note that this picture is from a previous meeting of the Her Majesty’s Privy Council; given much of this blog is about political manipulations surrounding Leaders of Her Majesty’s Opposition, how fitting that Dame Margaret Hodge appears to be taking centre stage!! Also notice the lack of seating arrangements…)
Aside from the Queen herself, present at that meeting were:
Andrea Leadsom (Lord President HM Privy Council and Leader of House of Commons)
Greg Clark (Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy)
Damian Hinds (Secretary of State for Education)
Jeremy Wright (Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)
All are top level elected members of the cabinet of Her Majesty’s Government (in addition to the Secretaries of State, who are elected parliamentarians, each department has a ‘Permanent’ Secretary, employed by Her Majesty’s Civil Service) and all present remained standing throughout the meeting, as is the custom.
There were many matters to be covered, from specifications of 50p coins celebrating the life of Stephen Hawking, amendments of the charters of a number of universities and societies including the Royal Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, orders preventing further burials in a number of Churchyards across the country, sanctions on Eritrea and even an amendment to the Outer Space act for the Isle of Man!!
But just how is it that this particular meeting of Her Majesty’s Privy Council takes us back over 40 years, to 1976?
Now what are the chances that another of Julian Lewis and Brian Crozier’s close allies was in a pivotal position in Margaret Thatcher’s office back in 1976 when all this skullduggery was afoot?
We’ll come back to Edward Leigh’s time as Margaret Thatcher’s Private Secretary, but for now, let’s take a wider look at his career, which must’ve come along in leaps and bounds, as he’s now ‘Sir’ Edward Leigh, after being knighted in the 2013 Queen’s Birthday Honors, then, on 28th December 2018 sworn into Her Majesty’s Privy Council, acknowledged by an order approved by the Queen at Buckingham Palace on February 13th 2019 during the Privy Council meeting…
After WW2, Neville Leigh had joined RAF intelligence, before later becoming head of the Privy Council Office between 1974 and 1984
Around the same time his father became head of the Privy Council, Edward Leigh joined Richmond Borough Council;
now of course it could be a coincidence, but as you’ll see, this begins to raise questions about the wider investigation of organized Child abuse; after all Elm Guest House was in Richmond…
Surely nothing to do with allegations that various members of the Royal Household attended Elm Guest House in some capacity; also of interest is mention of Westland Helicopters, given Neville Leigh’s background in RAF intelligence
Furthermore, Westland was deeply involved in the Al Yamamah deal in which Margaret Thatcher and Bandar Bin Sultan played such key roles…
(coincidentally Bandar Bin Sultan’s Son and Daughter have just been sworn in as Saudi Ambassadors to the the UK and US respectively)
But back to Edward Leigh; beyond the questions that surround his time at Richmond Council, similar questions arise about his role at the Greater London Council;
Of course, to immediately assume Sir Edward was in any way linked to child abuse would be jumping the gun somewhat, if it weren’t for a number of other factors;
firstly, we have the case of Duncan Breeze, who was jailed for making over 4,200 indecent images of children, including those of the worst level of depravity, which were found on 3 computers at both his own home in Sandy, Bedfordshire and his parent’s home in Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset.
Mr Breeze has protested his innocence, however, the evidence presented to the court was sufficient to secure a conviction:
Now aside from the small matter of Edward Leigh being president of the Catholic Union to this day, the mention of John Allen and North Wales brings us back to where it all began with Edward Leigh’s long time partner in crime Julian Lewis
The exact date Edward Leigh and Julian Lewis became acquainted remains unclear, however, they clearly knew one another before they founded the the Coalition for Peace through Security (CPS) together in September 1981.
Behind the scenes, the CPS was clearly influential, with ties to Conservative leadership and several key figures in the Ministry of Defence:
Aside from doing a double take when you realize the current president of the Catholic Union was heavily involved in campaigning for nuclear weapons, note mention of funding via ‘The 61′ Brian Crozier’s global private intelligence network, which thanks to being separate from government, avoided scrutiny and accountability…
Also note that this was all happening whilst Edward Leigh’s father, Neville Leigh, was still head of the Privy Council office, with close links to the Cabinet Office and the Queen
Aside from Julian Lewis’ dodgy activities with Edward Leigh, let’s not forget his role as John Bercow’s best man, (though the pic below is of course not Sally Bercow)
Hold on though, weren’t the Dolphin Square allegations found to have come from the minds of fantasists with no basis in truth?
Some well connected folks certainly want you to believe that, but it doesn’t sit very well with police investigations such as Operation Mileshogue:
So we have a police investigation, and the startling revelation that pretty much everyone in the Met Police Paedophile Unit was aware of allegations surrounding Dolphin Square, yet for whatever reason, management didn’t feel it warranted further resources…
Could the links to Government Arms Sales provide us with a clue as to why that might be?
It may even provide us with clues as to why to this day these matters aren’t investigated in a great deal of detail; although this document comes from evidence adduced during the Westminster Strand of the Independent Child Abuse Inquiry, the matters covered by the interviews with ex police officers were never discussed or investigated as part of the inquiry.
But back to Sir Edward Leigh; Operation Mileshogue began around 1996, however, it was investigating allegations dating back some time; for example, a child of 13 or 14 was being interviewed about abuse beginning when he was 8 years old:
So there is certainly reason to investigate the allegations from 1992 further…
But anyway, what does this have to do with 1976 and Edward Leigh’s role as Margaret Thatcher’s Private Secretary?
Well let’s start where much of the child abuse scandal began; Jimmy Savile;
Long before she got into Chequers, whilst still leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition, Margaret Thatcher appeared with Jimmy Savile on Jim’ll fix it:
The programme was a primetime broadcast as the Christmas period was coming to an end on New Years Day 1977; however, it would’ve been filmed beforehand sometime in 1976.
For this to happen, there would of course have been correspondence between the programme’s producers at the BBC and Margaret Thatcher’s office.
So who was in charge of Margaret Thatcher’s correspondence at the time?
Her Private Secretary, Edward Leigh, son of the Head of the Privy Council Office at the time, member of Richmond Borough Council and the GLC, close associate of both Brian Crozier and Julian Lewis, and an alleged child abuser with links to a paedophile convicted for making child abuse images.
Back to Buckingham Palace and Feb 13th 2019:
Now casting aside for a moment the political chicanery of Brian Crozier, Norris McWhirter and Jimmy Savile, who pray tell was appointed as Director of BBC Children’s Television in 1976?
Sir Roger Gale, who even back then had been a member of the Conservative Party for 12 years…
Cliff Richard’s call for anonymity in sex offence arrests would cause significant harm to victims, say campaigners
Victims’ groups have warned a campaign led by Sir Cliff Richard and Paul Gambaccini to ban naming suspected sex offenders unless they are prosecuted could cause “significant harm”.
The celebrities have launched a petition calling for the government to change the law to “protect the reputations of all innocent suspects, whether well-known or not, from the lasting stigma of a false sexual allegation”.
It passed 10,000 signatures on Monday afternoon and will receive a government response, while 100,000 would trigger a parliamentary debate.
In an open letter to Sir Cliff and Mr Gambaccini, the End Violence Against Women Coalition said false allegations were no higher for sexual offences than other crimes and “our big problem is the enormous reluctance victims have to report” attacks.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and Leicestershire police have been severely criticised by Richard Henriques, a retired judge, for mishandling investigations into the peer in 1991, 2002 and 2007.

Peter Morrison’s alleged ‘penchant for small boys’ was considered only in national security, not criminal terms, witness tells Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse
Lists of VIP visitors to the Elm Guest House – which hosted parties in the 1980s where it is alleged vulnerable boys were sexually assaulted – are now being used by police as evidence in their inquiry, Operation Fernbridge. One document states politicians including ‘N Fairburn’ and C Smith’ visited the property in June 1982.
They also state ‘Fairburn’ had ‘used boys in sauna’ and photos had been taken of him – as well as former Liberal MP Smith – at the guest house. Police have confirmed that Smith was a regular visitor to the address.
Miss Henderson, speaking publicly after Sir Nicholas was linked to the guest house, said: ‘I knew this would come out.
‘I’m only surprised it has taken so long. I told the police about him in 2000, I told them what Fairbairn was. But they just wanted me to go away.
She is calling for the police investigation into Henderson and Fairbairn, which was halted in 2000 after details were leaked to the Press and evidence was mislaid, to be re-opened.
She has also given the Scottish Daily Mail the names of six other senior members of the Scottish legal profession who she alleges either abused her or were aware of the abuse, which took place in the 1970s. Two of these individuals are still alive.
THE daughter of a prominent Edinburgh lawyer at the centre of the Fettesgate scandal of the 1990s has claimed she was raped by her father and a senior Tory MP.
Susie Henderson, the daughter of QC and temporary sheriff Robert Henderson, waived her right to anonymity to talk about the abuse she allegedly suffered at the hands of her father and the late Sir Nicholas Fairbairn, a former MP for Kinross and Western Perthshire, when she was four.
Miss Henderson, 48, said she was the victim of an organised paedophile ring consisting of high-powered legal figures who subjected her to years of abuse at locations including the five-storey Georgian townhouse in the New Town where her family lived.
Her father, Robert Henderson, was a pivotal figure in a major legal scandal of the late 1980s and early 1990s when he claimed a “magic circle” of judges, sheriffs and advocates were conspiring to ensure homosexual criminals were given light sentences by the courts. The claims were dismissed in an official inquiry, but much of the evidence in the report was stolen from Fettes by conman Derek Donaldson in 1992 and sold to the press.
Miss Henderson today called for a police investigation into her father and Fairbairn, halted in 2000 after evidence was mislaid and crucial details leaked to the press, to be re-opened.
“I want it acknowledged that my father and Fairbairn did something very evil. Not just to me. There are other children out there. And these were people in power. We put them there and they are supposed to be trusted.”
Miss Henderson first made allegations against Fairbairn and her father under the alias of Julie X in 2000, but no charges were brought.
She has chosen to come forward and be named after Fairbairn was implicated in the scandal over the Elm Guest House in London which saw youngsters abused by high-profile figures in the 1980s. Fairbairn died in 1995 at the age of 61, while Henderson died in 2012 aged 75.
Fairbairn’s daughter, Charlotte, 50, reportedly said she “did not know” whether the allegations against her father were true, but said she doubted it. “I would be very surprised by that, but he is dead,” she said. “He is not here to defend himself.”
Documents targeted by thief
THE Fettesgate scandal of 1992 involved the theft of sensitive materials from Lothian and Borders Police HQ at Fettes in July, 1992 – including a report by Detective Inspector Roger Orr into claims of an established “magic circle” of homosexuals in the legal fraternity who were subverting the course of justice. The theft was disguised as an attack by the Animal Liberation Front, but it later emerged the documents had been targeted by thief and conman Derek Conway, who sold the information from the files to national newspapers. Donaldson was later given an assured immunity from prosecution in return for handing back the files – but not before the Orr report made it into the public domain.
Given the accusations of rape of a 4 year old girl, it hardly comes as a surprise that Fairbairn demanded in correspondence to the Commons standards watchdog that reporters be banned from investigating his private life and that of other politicians.
Chris Gieler – Queens Park Rangers FC FOOTBALL’S SHAME
The interesting part of this most recent Daily Mail scoop is that they spend their time attempting to discredit anyone who discloses abuse against the elite, famous or powerful. I believe that Chris Gieler being independently named as part of this probe, when he was also named within the Elm Guest House paperwork leaves the Fail in an uncomfortable position.
I believe the paperwork isn’t an absolute oracle on abuse, but this revelation does vindicate those who originally produced them (Fay & Moss) proving that some of those mentioned are done so correctly.
It’s good news for those coming forward to disclose abuse, but it’s time the paperwork was given the credit it’s due and some of those named (especially the big names) are properly investigated.
There’s another name alongside Gieler’s within the documents – William Field, St Albans. I know nothing about him or his position.

There were around 50 Children who had entered Lambeth Childrens’ Homes and never been seen again by their families.

Matthew Kelly was arrested under Operation Arundel 7 BIG NAMES FACE CHILD SEX CHARGES Daily Star 17-01-03, p1
Matthew Kelly – Operation Arundel After consulting the Crown Prosecution Service the police decided to drop the case because there was “insufficient evidence” NOT cleared. (2003)
ACCUSED TV host Matthew Kelly narrated a film about a children’s shelter that became a paedophile’s paradise, it was revealed yesterday. Kelly being probed over claims he sexually abused a boy did a voiceover for a promotional video about the Jari Village refuge in Ethiopia. The Stars In Their Eyes presenter told how carers helped young famine victims back on to their feet. But in reality the refuge became a “grooming” centre run by child sex monster David Christie, a pal of 52-year-old Kelly.
There is no suggestion that married Kelly, who is on police bail, visited Jari Village or knew it was a haven for paedophiles. But his role in promoting it is further evidence of his association with convicted paedophile Christie, 60 who in 1997 admitted having sex with a Jari child. An aid worker who campaigns for kids in Ethiopia told The Sun: “We were astonished when we learned Matthew Kelly had been arrested over sex abuse allegations.
“
Instantly, we remembered this promotional video he narrated for Jari Village. It concerned us as Jari became infamous as having been infiltrated by paedophiles. They knew they could get easy access to vulnerable youngsters by targeting aid organisations and charities.” Kelly calls the children “survivors” in the grainy 12-minute film. But many were really victims. The aid worker has sent a copy of the video to Surrey Police, who are investigating the allegation facing Kelly.
In the film kiddies are seen in every shot. At one point youngsters in red leotards perform acrobatics and juggling routines to promote “Circus Jari” based on an idea by disgraced aid worker Marc Lachance.
He founded Circus Ethiopia, a globe-trotting troupe recruited from street children.In 1998, 15 performers sought asylum in Australia claiming they were sex abuse victims. And Oxford-born Lachance killed himself when they named him as a pervert.
Dad-of-two Kelly is thought to have befriended ex-minicab driver Christie in Sri Lanka, where the TV star has a holiday home. It is believed he narrated the film as a favour to his pal. Christie was convicted in Britain in 1965 after forcing a boy to perform a sex act. But in 1994, he became the Ethiopian representative of Jari’s founders, the Swiss charity Terre des hommes.
Taped … misspelled credit for Kelly’s narration
One of the teachers he recruited was Canadian Denys Benjamin hired a fortnight after he was arrested in Sri Lanka for acts of gross indecency.
Within weeks, Benjamin was found in bed with a Jari orphan. Christie was fired in 1997. He is currently in an Ethiopian jail facing charges of trafficking kids and abuse.
The beast, of Bournemouth, Dorset, was once given a 10,000 loan by Kelly, which the star later wrote off. Kelly must return to a police station on March 12. He has not been charged.
However, Cold Blood reworks this familiar Silence of the Lambs theme uncommonly well. Much of the credit can go to Matthew Kelly’s portrayal of the fastidious, weirdly personable killer. Some of the exchanges between his character, Brian Wicklow, and the detectives in the interview room are beautifully turned as Wicklow tries to gain the upper hand over his inquisitors.
Matthew Kelly a friend of Rolf Harris ? Daily Star 17-01-03
The Stars In Their Eyes presenter, Matthew Kelly, was arrested and bailed by Surrey Police over allegations of sexual abuse on boys under the age of 16 during the 1970s.
As part of the same inquiry, police detained Tam Paton, former manager of the 1970s pop group Bay City Rollers, and Steve Jolley, a music tycoon. They are expected to answer bail on March 12.
The allegations against Kelly arose from Operation Arundel, which centred on the involvement of Jonathan King, the pop mogul, with a 1970s disco called The Hop, in Walton-on-Thames.
King was jailed for seven years in 2001 for offences against boys.

Lord Boothby was close to all the top people from Churchill to Tom Driberg
“The Krays had property at Bildeston where they were involved with local youth clubs and giving children donkey rides etc.”
Record producer Joe Meek
“Joe (Meek) signed Tom (Jones) when he arrived in London, but he tried kissing him behind the studio screens and that was that,”
Jimmy Savile on Top of the Pops with Alan Freeman (right)
Apparently Kray had access to many London care homes and would have boys delivered to parties at DJ Alan ” fluff” Freeman’s large flat over a music shop in East London.
Man tells of agony at the hands of BBC paedo ring involving DJ Alan Freeman and evil pal Jimmy Savile
The traumatised victim claims he was just 11 when German film actor Victor Beaumont lured him to his plush London flat where the BBC stars raped him
“There they would meet with show biz types and DJs including Jimmy Savile, JOE MEEK and on occasion Beatles manager Brian Epstein.”
A 1977 prison report said: ‘Ronald Kray remains an active and predatory homosexual, and cares little who knows it.’ Another report describes how Kray was found in bed with another inmate.
Reportedly, prison officers usually turned a blind eye to Kray’s affairs. Reggie Kray’s twin brother was Ronnie Kray, who was also a gangster and lover of boys.
The twins had huge property interests in East Anglia. Kray had access to many London care homes and would have boys delivered to parties at DJ Alan ” fluff” Freeman’s large flat over a music shop in East London. There they would meet with show biz types and DJs including Jimmy Saville, Joe Meeks and on occasion Beatles manager Brian Epstein. The eastern crime squad knew about the Kray gangsters and the sex parties known as ” Pink ballets ” with young lads but let them continue
At these parties , young boys , specially brought over from several childrens homes would be plied with drugs and alcohol.
However these parties were forced to come to an end when Police chiefs got wind that the MP & Ex Liberal Party leader Jeremy Thorpe was attending them along with several other prominent MP’s…
At a big London railway station in the spring of 1970, a plastic carrier bag was found in the regular search for bombs before the station closed for the night. “The contents were an odd assortment of letters and photos, which seemed to have been taken at a kinky party attended by some well-known figures in entertainment. “One in particular showed a pop singer who masquerades under a Christian persona; dressed in women’s underwear he was pictured with young boys. (I will leave it to you, just who that famous pop singer could have been !)
“The bag was duly taken to the station office and, as a senior rail worker wrote out a report for the lost property office, two MI5 men and a special branch officer arrived and demanded the photos.” Like the Dickens report and other evidence of VIP child abuse it has been buried.
Boothby was a promiscuous bisexual, in a time when male homosexual activity was a criminal offence. While an undergraduate at Magdalen College, Oxford, Boothby earned the nickname “the Palladium”, because “he was twice nightly”. He later spoke about the role of a speculated homosexual relationship in the drowning of his friend Michael Llewelyn Davies (one of the models for Peter Pan) and fellow Oxonian Rupert Buxton. He did not start to have physical relationships with women until the age of 25. From 1954 Boothby campaigned publicly for homosexual law reform.
Lord Boothby, who incidentally was very close to Winston Churchill, liked masochistic sex with rent boys and would often be known to use the Krays for the procurement of young boys
It all started in 1963 when Boothby began an illicit affair with East End cat burglar Leslie Holt (d. 1979). Holt was a younger man Boothby met at a gambling club. Holt introduced him to the gangster Ronald Kray, the younger Kray twin, Ronald supplied Boothby with teenage boys and arranged orgies in Cedra Court. The boys were told to behave or else. And they certainly knew what else meant !
The Krays also came into the public eye when an exposé in the tabloid newspaper Sunday Mirror began to expose a sexual relationship between a gangster and a UK Conservative Party politician. Although names had not been published the Kray twins threatened the journalists involved in the story, whilst Boothby threatened to sue. The newspaper backed down under pressure, sacked its editor, printed an apology and paid Boothby £40,000 in an out-of-court settlement. As a result, other newspapers were unwilling to uncover the Krays’ connections, criminal and sexual activities. Consequently young boys continued to be supplied from children’s homes to be sexually exploited for the gratification of gangsters and corrupt politicians. All this wilt the blessing of the Police and Parliament. Decades later nothing changed.
Ronnie once said to a boy: “You will go home with Lord Boothby. You will do exactly what Lord Boothby wants. Or I will hurt you”
Kray biographer, John Pearson, writing in the Independent on Sunday, also claims that the Peer and the MP engaged in gay sex orgies with children and that Boothby had a fondness for boys defacating on him, and the Krays had a compromising photograph of Boothby and his memiors.
Similarly, when Tom Driberg, a Labour MP and KGB agent who wore fishnet stockings, got involved with the Krays, telling them ‘about the houses of rich friends they could burgle,’ again the government suppressed any inquiry, as they didn’t want to have to cope with the damaging revelations.
The media were further intimidated and silenced when Boothby and Driberg used the Krays ‘to turn anyone over who had crossed them’. The Police protected the Krays and children continued to be supplied and abused.
On notepaper carrying his address in Eaton Square, Belgravia, Lord Boothby wrote to Kray on June 6, 1963: ”Thank you for your postcard. I very nearly went to Jersey myself, as I have never been there, and hear from so many people that it is quite delightful.”
Pop mogul Jonathan King, 72, is charged with 18 sex offences from the 1970s and 80s
King famed for songs like Everyone’s Gone to the Moon and Hooked on a Feeling
He appeared many times on television including shows like Entertainment USA
King was bailed to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday
May 25 2017
Pop mogul and record producer Jonathan King was today charged with 18 historical sex offences against nine alleged victims.
King was famed for songs including Everyone’s Gone to the Moon and Hooked on a Feeling and discovered the band Genesis as a music producer.
He appeared many times on television on both sides of the Atlantic including on shows like Top of the Pops and Entertainment USA.
Surrey Police announced he was charged with offences which allegedly took place between 1970 and 1986.
King, aged 72 years, was bailed to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday, June 26, to answer the charges which were uncovered as part of ‘Operation Ravine’.
A Surrey Police spokesman said: ‘Operation Ravine was established in early 2015 following a review by Merseyside Police into the Surrey Police investigation entitled Operation Arundel which launched in 2000.
‘The independent review was commissioned in January 2014 to ensure all lines of inquiry had been identified.
‘A number of actions have subsequently been progressed under Operation Ravine leading to new allegations of sexual offences being identified.’
King was famed for songs including Everyone’s Gone to the Moon and Hooked on a Feeling and discovered the band Genesis as a music producer
Jonathan King has been desperately attempting to suggest that he has been the victim of false allegations similar to those that have been circulating in the press recently even going as far as coming to Edward Heath’s defence as a character witness in The Spectator(Yeh, right!). This Sunday he wrote:
We see these pathetic stories crumbling, started by mentally unstable characters in a fantasy world wanting attention, sympathy, believing their own stories (reminds me of the man who started my witch hunt, who, it transpires, made money as a teenager telling people his mother was dying of cancer and forcing her to call the donors to deny the tale and apologise)
– carried by media sources desperate for “great stories” (like the wonderful Exaro) – picked up by millions as a “great story” – forcing under funded police forces to spend millions on investigating stupid tales that, a few years ago, would have been dropped in seconds – stirred up by media howls (“Savile WAS a pervert – ignored for years”) expanding unproveable stories and encouraging further mad tales by unhinged “victims”.
It only serves to highlight the dangers of false allegations in the media when they can be used by a man like King to muddy the waters but it seems that he’s not fooling the police – and he certainly doesn’t fool me.
It has been plausibly suggested (though unconfirmed) that the other men arrested with Jonathan King are Deniz Corday (86) who started the Walton Hop Teen disco in 1958 and former Hop DJ Robert Randall (77)
The former music industry figure Jonathan King has been arrested on suspicion of historical child sex offences, the BBC understands.
Mr King, 70, was arrested at his home in Bayswater, west London, by Surrey Police officers on Wednesday morning.
Two other men, aged 77 and 86, both from Walton-on-Thames, were also arrested and are being questioned.
The arrests were made in connection with allegations linked to the Walton Hop Disco in Walton-on-Thames.
An ongoing investigation, titled Operation Ravine, is looking into allegations of sexual offences against children connected with the disco in the 1970s and 1980s.
Surrey Police said specialist police officers were searching the men’s properties.
Wonder if Jonathan King knows who the former manager of several top bands that has money in a boy brothel in Thailand ?
Who where Jonathan King’s band manager friends besides Simon Cowell ?
THE SICKENING SHOWBIZ WEB OF SEX FIENDS.
KING was just one of an underground network of showbiz paedophiles involved in sex abuse and child porn.
The evil DJs, songwriters, rock stars and boy band managers hid their twisted sex lives for years.
Some of those who shared King’s sordid lust have been nailed. But others are still getting away with it.
King, 56, was brought to book following a lengthy police probe into a tip that British perverts were operating in the Czech capital Prague.
Former Radio 1 DJ Chris Denning, 59, a friend of King’s since the 70s, was jailed for four and a half years by a court in Prague last year on ten charges of sexually abusing young boys.
King’s name was mentioned by one of his victims. Denning was in the original Radio 1 line up in l967 and worked with King as a record producer.
Denning, of Bracknell, Berks, has convictions in Britain dating back 30 years for sex assault, gross indecency and child porn.
During visits to Prague seeking victims Denning befriended Britain’s most wanted paedophile Warwick Spinks.
Spinks, 35, was jailed for seven years in 1995 after drugging a 14-year-old boy and selling him to a gay brothel in Amsterdam. He served 30 months then fled the country while on parole.
Another ex-pal of King, songwriter and record producer Steven Jolley, was jailed for 18 months last month for indecently assaulting a 12-year-old boy.
Millionaire Jolley, who wrote and produced 1980s chart hits for Spandau Ballet, Bananarama, Diana Ross and Kim Wilde, was arrested at his mansion near Brentwood, Essex.
The raid was part of a probe into paedophile package tours to Prague organised by vile Spinks in which boys as young as ten were abused.
Jolley, 50, kept a collection of child abuse videos he had shot himself.
Sick photos and images of children are regularly exchanged among perverts, using encrypted internet websites.
That was the downfall of another former friend of Jonathan King last year. Rocker Gary Glitter, 57, was jailed for four months for having 4,000 child porn pictures on his computer.
King and Chris Denning helped Glitter launch his career. They also helped launch 70s band the Bay City Rollers.
King produced the group’s first hit Keep on Dancing in 1971 and became pals with their former manager Tam Paton and drummer Derek Longmuir.
Paton, 61, was jailed for three years in 1982 for sex with underage boys.
Longmuir, 49, was convicted last year of having indecent photos, videos and computer discs of young boys and given 300 hours’ community service.
Scotland Yard’s Paedophile Unit is trying to build cases against other celebrity cronies of King.
One is a well-known former Top of the Pops DJ who visits India in search of vulnerable youngsters.
Another is a wealthy former manager of several top bands. He has money in a boy brothel in Thailand.

Jonathan Ross, whose first job was as King’s junior researcher; Dave Gilmour, of Pink Floyd, whose first band, Joker’s Wild, King produced at Cambridge; Peter Cook, who knew all the lyrics to King’s B-sides; Simon Cowell, who put up £50,000 of King’s £150,000 bail when he was arrested in 2000; Stephen Fry, with whom King had a raucous lunch at Le Gavroche just the other day.
Music mogul Jonathan King to face trial over ‘sex crimes’
Former music producer Jonathan King has appeared in court accused of a string of sex attacks on teenage boys.
The ex-singer is accused of assaulting boys aged 14 to 16 between 1970 and 1986 in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.
Mr King, 72, of Bayswater, west London, appeared at Southwark Crown Court for the hearing under his real name of Kenneth George King.
The Genesis producer was released on conditional bail until 22 January.
The allegations are linked to the Walton Hop Disco in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, and Mr King, who also produced songs for 10cc and the Bay City Rollers, must not contact any prosecution witnesses.
Recently, convicted paedophile, Jonathan King spoke with the son , Daniel Janner, of alleged paedophile Greville Janner. King tweeted that Janner’s name had been cleared – information he should know is not true

Lord Janner’s family to ‘undermine’ sex abuse inquiry strand into their father after being given formal role in investigation

A decision to not call Lord Janner to stand trial over child sex abuse allegations has been questioned after it emerged that his son, Daniel Janner, worked in the same law chambers as a legal adviser to the director of public prosecutions.
Past speakers have included Chancellor George Osborne, Education Secretary Nicky Morgan and Defense Secretary Michael Fallon, as well as ex-PM John Major.
The secretive club was founded in 1921. Rab Butler, who was president for many years, suggested the Conservative Party should look to the club to “provide a good part of our future political elite, if I may still venture to use such a word in the so-called Century of the Common Man”. After retiring from politics, Butler became Master of Trinity College.
The website for the exclusive dining society says that “nearly every nationally known Oxford and Cambridge Conservative politician went on to the Coningsby Club after OUCA or CUCA so you will be in good company”, but that membership was “by invitation only”.

I don’t know you personally David, but have to say that I find it a bit hypocritical coming from a writer for The Mail that you criticise conditions in our prisons. The Mail is one of the loudest voices that drums up hatred and resentment from the public for those incarcerated.

Ah, the Mail papers. Where prison is like a holiday camp, unless someone they know ends up in there.

What does Prince Charles have in common with Jonathan King?
Both were very good friends with serial paedophile and necrophiliac, Jimmy Savile
Truthseeker1@thewakeupcall09
Jonathan King with Jimmy Savile and King’s brother Andy and two patients at Stoke Mandeville spinal hospital in January 1986.
King’s longtime chum Jimmy Savile, the barmy-looking blond who hosted the essential British tv music show Top of the Pops for what seemed forever, probably came closer to the true essence of the man when he once remarked, “He’s a sabra. A sabra is an Israeli fruit that’s prickly on the outside and all soft and lovely inside. That’s Jonathan King.”
Jailed Jonathan King claims he has Prince Charles’ support after ‘stock reply’ from aide
PERVERT Jonathan King has infuriated Prince Charles by conning his staff into writing to him in jail.
The Prince has ordered an inquiry into how his office sent a letter to the disgraced former music mogul and TV presenter which King is now attempting to use as bizarre ammunition in his campaign to have his child sex conviction overturned.
Jailed King is showing off the letter, complete with its royal crest, to fellow inmates and claiming he has the support of the highest quarters of the land.
Last night, a royal source said it was the SECOND time the sex offender has tried to fool Prince Charles’ staff into supporting him and insisted he should never have received a reply.
A royal aide said: “Prince Charles is very upset that he could be used like this, especially when it was known this person King had tried it before.
“It’s horrifying to think that this evil man is waving Prince Charles’ royal notepaper around the jail claiming he has royal backing for his cause.”
The one-time pop singer, 58, serving seven years for offences against schoolboys lured by his celebrity status, wrote to the Prince from Maidstone Prison, in Kent.
On an Internet website he runs from prison, he boasted: “Re: Letter to Prince Charles, I have received a very nice and supportive letter from Prince Charles in response to this post, which must remain personal as you can understand but which was much appreciated. JK.”
In his letter, King refers to former valet George Smith, who claimed to have been raped by a member of Prince Charles’s staff, and warns Charles: “Three or four false allegations of rape…you could be ruined and the monarchy destroyed.
“It will never happen, hopefully, because the police would be on your side but, when they are not, when the quest for raised conviction rates overwhelms the desire for justice, men and women are wrongfully convicted.”
King has never shown regret for his crimes and failed to mention in his letter that he was being targeted by inmates sickened because he is a “nonce”, notorious prison slang for paedophile.
Many jailed paedophiles in King’s position apply for solitary confinement in order to escape attacks from disgusted fellow inmates.
The governor at Maidstone Prison has ordered his own inquiry into King’s use of the Internet after a crisis meeting.
Last night, a St James’ Palace source said: “The Prince of Wales’s office received a letter from Jonathan King and he, in turn, was sent a standard two-line reply acknowledging receipt of the correspondence.
“It basically contained the message: ‘Thank you very much for writing, yours sincerely.’ He didn’t get a letter from the Prince himself and the Prince was not even aware of the letter being sent.“
King is now trying to use this acknowledgement of correspondence to claim he has Prince Charles’ support, which is simply ludicrous.”
King has taken his fight against sex abuse convictions to Strasbourg and the European Court of Human Rights.
He was found guilty in September 2001 of four indecent assaults against boys aged 14 to 15 in the 1980s.
King, the self-styled King of Hits, has always maintained his innocence and complained about the justice system.
In January, he failed in a bid to have his conviction overturned at the Court of Appeal in London. He has also asked the Criminal Cases Review Commission to examine his case.
King had his first hit with Everyone’s Gone To The Moon in 1965 and was involved with discovering new talent for Decca Records in the 1960s. He also produced records for Genesis, played a big role in promoting supergroup 10cc and is credited with a similar function for the Bay City Rollers.
He was fronting the TV show Entertainment USA and running his UK Records label at the time of his offences.
At his trial, the Old Bailey heard how the he lured the boys to his fashionable mews home at Queensborough Studios in Bayswater, central London, and showed them pornography before assaulting them.
A second trial based on allegations that he committed serious sexual offences against two boys in the seventies collapsed.
29 March, 2005
Clarence House also issued a statement dismissing King’s claims that Prince Charles sent him a letter of support.
A spokesman said King wrote to Charles several years ago and a reply was issued from the office, but not from the Prince.
Savile had his own flat at Duncroft School and girls from Duncroft were taken to Savile’s friend and fellow paedophile, Jonathan King’s haunt, the Walton Hop.
Young girls from Duncroft School were taken to the Walton Hop.
Duncroft was visited by friends of the royal family, such as James Robertson Justice and the Queen’s cousin, Princess Alexandra, who was good friends with Jimmy Savile…and Rab Butler – linked to PIE
Many of the 25 or so girls in its care at any one time came from comfortable backgrounds and included the daughters of ambassadors and BBC producers.
As a Home Office-approved school, funding came from Social Services.
Regular guests at their parties included the actor James Robertson Justice, who was one of Britain’s leading film stars in the 1940s and 1950s and reportedly a close friend of the Duke of Edinburgh.
Princesses Marina and Alexandra are said to have attended. Among the former Duncroft girls to have come forward, one has said she was put in the isolation unit for ‘two or three days’ after loudly protesting when Savile groped her in a caravan on the school grounds. ‘For years we tried to report him,’ another confided to me. ‘We even had a mass breakout to Staines police station.’
In Plain Sight, The Life and Lies of Jimmy Savile
Disturbing: How Savile signed the Duncroft visitors’ book back in 1974
Princess Alexander was patron of NAMH and went to Duncroft under that role
Panorama and Newsnight reported that the home was often visited by numerous people, including Jimmy Savile, and that these visits seem to occur sporadically without any checks or questions being asked How this could happen?
Girls were taken, in groups, to recordings of programmes at the BBC television centre.
The Walton Hop was situated only five miles from Jimmy Savile’s haunt the infamous Duncroft Approved School.
Girls were also allowed to attend the Walton Hop which was within walking distance and were sometimes provided with ‘escorts’
Walton Hop was the hunting ground for convicted abusers such as Chris Denning, Jonathan King and Tom Paton – the latter of Bay City Rollers infamy.
Bay City Rollers Dropping like Flies after Inquiry urged to investigate Tom Paton
In his autobiography Savile wrote: ‘Princess Alexandra is a patron of a hostel for girls in care (Duncroft). At this place I’m a cross between a term-time boyfriend and a fixer of special trips out.’
Princess Alexandra’s husband, Angus Ogilvy was the president of the National Association of Youth Clubs of which Savile was vice-president. Both were appointed by Sir Harold Haywood, who also happened to have been Prince Charles most trusted charity aide, responsible for the Prince’s Trust.

Harold Haywood alterations on paedophile document
From 1974 to 1977 Haywood is noted for serving as General Secretary of the Educational Interchange Council, advising India, Australia, and Singapore on establishing youth clubs.
Less well known is Haywood’s Chairmanship of Albany Trust , where, along with his fellow Albany Trustees, members of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) (Keith Hose and Tom O’Carroll) and the Paedophile Action League (PAL). Albany were intstrumental in producing a booklet entitled Paedophilia: Some Questions and Answers.
“The Albany Trust also proposed to publish a pamphlet about paedophiles which stated that they “represent no special threat to society”.
A Jimmy Savile sex scandal concealed during the 1997 General Election.
Stephen Dorrell
The man who now leads the NHS Confederation failed to tell either Parliament or the public of a 1995 sex scandal at Broadmoor hospital, involving “a member of staff’ who – it can now be revealed – was Jimmy Savile.
Stephen Dorrell served as Health Secretary in Sir John Major’s government between 1995 and 1997 and did not disclose the scndal. The offences Savile committed after 1995 could have been prevented.
Expenses investigation over “secret flat rent deal” with care home owners
In November 2012 Dorrell was reported to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) after arranging to sell his London flat to “friends” who owned a chain of nursing homes, subsequently renting it back at £1,400 a month, funded by the taxpayer.
There was evidence of a Broadmoor paedophile ring in 1986
The current Savile NHS inquiry is looking at allegations of sexual abuse at Broadmoor psychiatric hospital in Berkshire.
There were allegations of a ‘child pornography ring’ at Broadmoor in 1997, but a report by Health Secretary Stephen Dorrell found “no evidence whatsoever of a paedophile ring or child pornography ring in Broadmoor”. Broadmoor’s chief executive Alan Franey resigned shortly afterwards. (Independent 17/02/97 + Independent 04/06/97)
But it seems there had also been allegations of a paedophile ring involving Broadmoor staff in 1986.
“Detectives believe they have broken a nationwide network making and distributing child porn videos. Films featuring girls as young as three and six have been seized in raids on 30 homes across the country. And a key figure in the network has been identified by CID – a middle-aged former Broadmoor nurse.”
His description was circulated to forces investigating the murder or disappearance of 15 children.
The article goes on to say that police were checking the former nurse’s work records to see whether he had “been on duty at the relevant times”.
This indicates that police knew the abuse was filmed at Broadmoor. Police searched his home and found “video equipment, sex films, and distribution records”. “The nurse appeared in some of the films”.
Two of the young victims, aged three and six, had been identified and lived in Camberley, which is just a mile or two from Broadmoor Hospital.
Politicians have pledged to hold the NHS to account over Savile’s alleged activities in hospitals.
Stephen Dorrell, chair of the health select committee told the BBC he had written to the Secretary of State to ask him to “clarify exactly what the NHS is doing to establish what happened, why it happened, and what lessons can be learned for the future.”.
Stephen Dorrell, the veteran Conservative MP, has been accused of a conflict of interest after taking a job as an adviser with a private firm targeting a £1billion NHS contract.
The MP for Charnwood, a cabinet minister in John Major’s government, announced last week that he would be stepping down at the General Election as he had accepted a job as a health policy consultant with accountancy firm KPMG, which he said would be “incompatible” with his role as an MP.
However, it is claimed that he is starting his new three-days-a-week job on Monday, meaning that he will be in both positions for six months.
KPMG are considering bidding for a £1 billion deal to manage the patient’s medical records.
Mr Dorrell, who quit his post as chairman of the House of Commons Health Select Committee in June, faced calls to resign from one of the posts.
“This case demonstrates everything that is rotten about our -political system.”
Susanne Cameron Blackie/Susanne Nundy/Anna Raccoon is a damn blasted liar and a cover upper of institutional child abuse
Anna Racoon is known to protect paedophiles please read this from the PJC Journal wriiten April 2011
“I would call this a set-up simply because Susanne Nundy has a history. Wherever there is a story of abuse by officials, especially when it relates to children or paedophilia, up pops a swathe of names including Anna Raccoon, Susanne Nundy or under her maiden name Susanne Cameron-Blackie , all ready to ‘assist’, yet strangely the outcome is never the one that those originally abused, or their campaigners envisaged. More often than not they are ripped apart, labelled as nutters and thrown to the pack in the manner we saw with her post about Andrew Withers yesterday. Its almost as if she is a professional Trojan Horse.
Susanne Cameron-Blackie, 68, from Riverside in Reedham, is running as an independent candidate for the Islington North constituency in London.
Mrs Cameron-Blackie moved to Reedham two years ago.
Mrs Cameron-Blackie was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer – leiomyosarcoma – six years ago and was given two months to live two years ago.
She decided to stand two weeks ago after discovering the NHS Litigation Authority annual report for April 2015-16 online.
Mrs Cameron-Blackie raised the £500 election deposit in 24 hours through an online Crowdfunding page,
A second & completely different story about why this silly woman is standing against Mr Corbyn rather than the Tories who have been in charge of the NHS for 7 years. The first makes it clear it was after she was given the wrong medication last month. This second story says it was after she read a 2015 report. Is this fake news, or as some called Media Malpractice?
Anna Raccoon standing for election – supporting NHS
Then – rabbit away etc go in to undermine her by claiming she (Anna Raccoon) sued the NHS.
Anna Raccoon claims she sued her employer (not NHS) after being attacked and suffering PTSD.
Whichever way you cut it – all of that coterie are political animals – either paid or fanatical, which means that everything that has been done to destabilise claims by survivors is GOVERNMENT led/orchestrated. Reasons?
Part financial – they don’t want to be forced to pay out.
Part covering up the high level abusers in their ranks.
Susanne Cameron-Blackie / Anna Raccoon’s political agent is
Andrew Hargreaves Rosthorn
it has been a highly successful day – the deposit raised, a superb and experienced agent found who is more than happy to act…
Ah, so Barbara Hewson went running to Andrew Rosthorn, Raccoon’s election agent but also director of an Oyston company. We shouldn’t forget that Oyston was the financial backer behind Hewson’s uncle’s Pennine Radio …
It is interesting to note that this pro-Oyston article was penned by Andrew Rosthorn, a man who was director of an Oyston company. Interestingly, he was also election agent to Anna Raccoon, the woman who exposed Barbara Hewson.
Just a quick question: Why would Anna Raccoon, who stood against Corby in Islington, choose the Clitheroe Kid Andrew Rosthorn, a director of one of Oyston’s companies, as her election agent, a man who obviously knows Barbara Hewson very well?
I doubt it somehow – Andrew has lots of other interests and little time, so can’t see the advantage – but maybe she was unaware of that.
She told me she thought it would be an opportunity to write an article for the Spectator on Corbyn’s election night. It made sense to me.
Andrew was only too happy to arrange it for her with the election authorities in Islington. She had to provide ID and photos.

There was no need for Andrew to be there, and it would have cost him a fortune to go down to London and pay for a hotel, she was already in London. By that time I was too sick to play any part in what should have been a ‘NHS campaign’- I hadn’t expected my health to deteriorate that fast, nobody had, but there you go – it did, so I was only too happy to agree to anybody pulling anything useful out of the situation that they could. Mentally I was trying to deal with the fact that I had gone from being a walking talking individual to one that was paralysed over a single weekend, at the same time as dealing with an extraordinary family situation, and with journalists emailing me because I was standing against Corbyn, and with this bizarre team of trolls convinced I was Old Holborn and with people who should have been my supporters also working in the background and creating a rift between me and Amanda, the one person I really trusted – and then the JK debacle all over the same period of a few days, whilst I was lying in hospital with people pumping drugs into me trying to kill this immense pain – did I flip? Too right I did. Anybody would have done. I, and Mr G, have coped by pulling up the drawbridge and only letting a very select few people over it. That is the way it will stay. I watch what is going on out of interest, but I am no longer part of it and never will be again. What is said on the internet just washes over me. Almost a shame really, because I can see how much effort Hewson in particular puts into sending out endless tweets, and sadly the steroids have affected my eyesight, so half the time I cannot be bothered to enlarge the screenshots to even see what she is saying!!!! I reserve my energy for e-mails etc from people who really matter like Blocked Dwarf, and @DavidRoseUK and @jrgillespie2000 & other good solid friends, some of whom I have made quite recently like @ciabado – not flakes.

@AnnaRaccoon2017 Anna, the Gin Ggoblin says you provided her with my ID. Experience has shown her to be a liar. What do you say?
AnnaStillHereRaccoon@AnnaRaccoon2017
This is an absolute gold plated lie. I have never provided BH with your ID, nor have I ever had your ID, nor how to go about finding your ID

Jimmy Savile Haunting Manchester – Andrew Rosthorn
Jimmy Savile Haunting Manchester
Ms Hewson was pilloried in 2013 for writing: “Adults and law-enforcement agencies must stop fetishising victimhood. Instead, we should focus on arming today’s youngsters with the savoir-faire and social skills to avoid drifting into compromising situations, and prosecute modern crime. As for law reform, now regrettably necessary, my recommendations are: remove complainant anonymity; introduce a strict statute of limitations for criminal prosecutions and civil actions; and reduce the age of consent to thirteen.”
Wow. I thought her job was to run interference for child molesters cause she is of the fairer sex. To insult victims/defenders of kids. To take the heat, the outrage for peds. But then to play victim herself? Amazing.
From rabbitaway:
Rosthorn nicely sums up the composition of the audience
Fireproof seemed appropriate when it transpired that the audience of ninety Anotherway Now groupies included rape victims and sex abuse survivors sitting shoulder to shoulder with the very barristers, solicitors and self-appointed investigators of moral panics who insist on challenging the accuracy of Meirion’s story.
FREELANCE journalist Andrew Rosthorn is at the centre of a rowbetween two national Sunday newspapers over his investigations into the Oyston scandal.
The Sunday Times alleged that witnesses in the recent trial had been “subjected to improper approaches” and detectives had interviewed at least two journalists over attempts “to pervert the course of justice.”
JAILED tycoon Owen Oyston is demanding full payment of legal costs from Michael Murrin, the Preston insurance agent and private detective who led a 15-year campaign against Oyston that ended last week when Murrin was found guilty of contempt of court.
Journalists David Graham, of Blackpool, and Andrew Rosthorn, of Darwen, both gave evidence to the judge who said he had “no hesitation” in believing them
Zabaxe has used payments from Blackpool to finance some of Owen Oyston’s smaller operations. One of the most interesting payments was to Lamara Roma Limited, set up in September 2011. The sole shareholder was Lamara Hill, the then 18-year-old daughter of Steve Hill, whose company Northern Security supplies match-day staff to Bloomfield Road. The company was dissolved in January last year.
According to the latest data, this particular limited company is the workplace of 1 director: Samuel Oyston, who was chosen to lead the company in March 2016. The following limited company had been guided by Lamara Roma (age 24, from Blackpool) who ultimately gave up the position four years ago. As a follow-up a different director, namely James Douglas Garrett, age 54 from Blackpool quit one year ago.
Andrew Rosthorn is a veteran news reporter based in Lancashire. After reporting The Irish troubles in the early seventies for the Daily Mail, he worked on hard news for the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror, The Independent and The Independent on Sunday. He has conducted radio and television investigations into the fate of Hitler’s deputy Rudolf Hess, CIA sabotage of Leyland exports to Cuba, corruption in ammunition supply at the Ministry of Defence, breaking UN sanctions in Serbia for Marks and Spencer, the Owen Oyston Affair and Royal Navy espionage in Japan.
THE PAEDOFILE: TRIBUNE UNEARTHS MILITARY INTELLIGENCE SPOOK WHO SUPPLIED NAMES FOR DICKENS DOSSIER.
St John-Stevas, Cyril Smith, Sir Peter Hayman & Attorney General Havers continue to be implicated.
In a sensational piece for the latest edition of Tribune, a major blow is dealt to those who dismiss perversion whistle-blower Geoff Dickens as a fantasist.
The post, by left-wing journalist Andrew Rosthorn, adds compelling evidence to support the Havers cover-up…in getting MI5/MI6 operative Tony Holland, now a wealthy Australian stock market investor) to go on the record as the man who furnished names for the maverick Tory MP’s dossier, Rosthorn has scored something of a coup in the serious investigation of Westminster deviants.
Among other things, the Tribune piece reveals and confirms as follows:
*The dossier ‘list’ given to Margaret Thatcher’s home secretary Leon Brittan included arts minister Norman St John-Stevas (founding member of the Bow Group) senior diplomat Sir Peter Hayman,
Rochdale MP Cyril Smith
*A secret file from Mrs Thatcher’s cabinet office: PREM19/588 – SECURITY. Allegations against former public [word missing] of unnatural sexual proclivities; security aspects 1980 Oct 27 – 1981 Mar 20 has now been tracked down from the National Archives in Kew by Dr Chris Murphy, lecturer in Intelligence Studies at Salford University. The file – released to the Home Office Independent Panel Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse, includes a handwritten briefing note for the Attorney-General marked ‘line to take’: ‘A full investigation has been carried out and has revealed nothing to suggest that security has been prejudiced’. A carefully narrowed definition, I think one might conclude.
* To shut him up, police and judiciary conspired to get Tony Holland sent to prison in an obvious frame-up about the theft of a refrigerator. Law Lords later confirmed his innocence, but to this day Yorkshire Police refuses to obliterate the charge and conviction. Dear old YP, they never change do they? Much later – on December 28, 1991 – Melvyn Hodgson – the man whose evidence could have proved Tony Holland – was found hanged in his cell at Armley Prison in Leeds. How very convenient.
* In August 1983, Dickens handed a second dossier to Scotland Yard, having presumably by this time lost trust in Leon Brittan’s willingness to investigate it. Significantly, he testified at the time that “eight public figures, including ‘a friend of mine’“ would be named in the Commons unless the home secretary took action. It seems reasonable to speculate that Leon Brittan – who was on friendly terms with his fellow Conservative MP, and always referred to him as ‘Geoff’ – was the friend concerned.
The massive legal threat to the NHS that is not hidden and sits in plain sight of the sheople like a hungry lion, has primarily fed on the issue of medical negligence but so rich are the pickings that they have already gobbled up a quarter of the entire NHS Budget.
It is all too plain that the allegations in the Savile matter all hinge around the past negligence and failure of the NHS to protect the victims from assaults on NHS property.
This Vicarious Liability naturally all rests upon these allegations being deemed true. If, as I and others have contended proved, these claims are demonstrably not true then the NHS is off the hook.
moral panic…such a disgusting put down that term…labeling concern for the lives of children as “panic”…
Jimmy Savile ‘moral panic’ tracked by computer in Dordogne
Feb 23 2015 by Andrew Rosthorn
The article in question, “Jimmy Savile ‘Moral Panic’ Tracked By Computer In Dordogne”, is based on an archive of private social media discussions between the women who later came forward to claim they were sexually abused by the late entertainer. Forty years ago the women had been teenagers at the Duncroft Approved School.
The owner of the archive was a retired English lawyer living in the Dordogne region of France. She lived in care at Duncroft in 1965 and 1966. Her name was Susanne Cameron-Blackie, aka – the blogger Anna Raccoon.
Yes, Anna, or Susanne, is right at the heart of this story.
In 2013 Anna Raccoon sent an email to Professor Viviene Cree at the Edinburgh University School of Social and Political Science, explaining the situation and saying she hoped the university would provide a good home for her archive. That summer the Economic and Social Research Council activated its Urgency Grants Mechanism to form a research team for the recovery and collation of documents and the information stored on Anna Raccoon’s computer in the Dordogne.
Social scientists studying mass-media fantasies known as Moral Panics have rescued an archive of online conversations that promises to unravel the mysterious origins of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
Thousands of emails stored on an Apple iMac personal computer in France recorded hours of private social media discussions between the women who later came forward to claim they were sexually abused by the dead disc jockey.
Forty years ago the women had been teenagers at the Duncroft Approved School, an experimental boarding school opened by the Home Office to give a second chance of education for girls of above-average intelligence who had been taken into care.
The owner of the archive was a retired English lawyer living in the Dordogne region. She lived in care at Duncroft in 1965 and 1966.
Susanne Cameron-Blackie, known online as the blogger Anna Raccoon, had joined two online communities known as Friendsreunited and Care Leavers Reunited where former boarders at the school were exchanging memories using code names.
Collaborating online with Sally Stevens, another former pupil living in California, Anna Raccoon worked out the real identities of the women behind the code names.
Anna Raccoon has since described how she noticed that a woman who roomed with her in the Wedgewood Dormitory at Duncroft in 1965 was claiming online to have been assaulted by Jimmy Savile in the dormitory when she was 15 years old:
How could I have been so unobservant as to not notice such a comment-worthy event as a major celebrity galloping around the building unescorted? There had to be some mistake in the reporting. Or maybe in my maths? I rechecked all my fingers, yep I was definitely there in 1965. Except for one month at the end of the year – but I was back four months later.
So began a three year unofficial investigation into the Duncroft allegations that had sparked the 2012 nationwide Savile Scandal.
Cameron-Blackie collated further information gathered by three other blogging investigators known as Moor Larkin, Rabbitaway and The Rockphiles.
In November 2012, when some of the ‘care leavers’ emerged from the anonymity of social media to give television interviews and instruct lawyers to take proceedings against the BBC and Jimmy Savile’s estate, Cameron-Blackie, the former Lord Chancellor’s Visitor for Wales, was able to cross-reference their claims.
Surrey Police later wrote to a hundred surviving Duncroft pupils and staff to report that the police ‘Operation Outreach’ found no corroborated evidence that any member of staff had been aware of any wrongdoing at the school. It was also discovered from a visitor’s book that Savile had not visited the school before 1974.
In 2013, fearing that she might not survive a forthcoming cancer operation in France, Cameron-Blackie sent an email to Professor Viviene Cree at the Edinburgh University School of Social and Political Science:
I blog on the Internet as ‘Anna Raccoon’ and as such have published several articles on the current ‘Savile saga’ http://annaraccoon.com.
However, having found myself at the centre of the ‘Duncroft’ furore, I have also been given a mound of information which I have not yet published. I am looking for a good home for it!
Is there a possibility that we might collaborate in some way? I am not interested in money, nor credit for my contribution, but I am not in good health (I have had cancer for the past two years, and am now – thank God – several months past my ‘sell by’ date, but I take nothing for granted!) and I am growing concerned that should I kick the proverbial bucket, then the knowledge and the contacts that I hold will be lost forever, and one day academics will want to piece together the origins of this current panic.
Within weeks of the November 2012 screening of the ITV documentary Exposure: The Other Side of Jimmy Savile, Edinburgh University held the first of several Moral Panic Seminars, involving Professor Cree, Dr Mark Smith, head of social work, and Dr Gary Clapton, senior lecturer in social work.
The Edinburgh team say they
shared common interests in how particular subjects, especially those involving children and sex (e.g. satanic ritual abuse, child exploitation and abuse in residential child care settings) could be moralised with disproportionate and sometimes dangerous consequences.
Their research project, state-funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and described as Revisiting Moral Panics: A Critical Examination of 21st Century Social Issues and Anxieties aims
to examine some 21st century social issues and anxieties through the concept of moral panic, first brought to public attention 40 years ago in Stanley Cohen’s influential study Folk Devils and Moral Panics.
Cohen analysed media controversies involving the Mods and Rockers of the 1960s and noted
a pattern of distorted facts and misrepresentation, as well as a distinct, simplistic depiction of the respective images of both groups involved in the disturbance.
Cohen, late professor of sociology at the London School of Economics, found that like a mediaeval witch hunt ‘the depiction of mods and rockers as violent, unruly troublemakers actually led in itself to a rise in “deviant behaviour” by the subcultures.’
Dr Smith, an expert in residential child care, had already questioned the reported scale of child abuse in care homes. He noted Anna Raccoon’s discovery that a letter had been forged on stolen Surrey Police notepaper and that when the Daily Mail found the much-admired former headmistress of Duncroft, Miss Margaret Jones, 91, warned their reporter, ‘A lot of these girls at the time were very mentally disturbed.’ Anna Raccoon said:
Stories were sold to the main stream media concerning the girl who had spent a considerable time sitting up in bed opposite me. She was now claiming that Jimmy Savile had been running round our dormitory sexually abusing us and that ‘we were terrified’ – I had never heard so much nonsense.
Another girl was all over social media saying that ‘Maggie Jones’, as she had the temerity to call her, had been ‘pimping the girls out to celebrities’. I literally couldn’t believe my ears.
I was quickly rewarded with, as I had suspected, a raft of supportive ‘ex-Duncroft girls’ who had been googling these mysterious stories, and who had landed on my site. I shall always be grateful to them – they have kept my spirits high as the story grew legs by the day, and I was in danger of disappearing under a tsunami of vitriol and recrimination.
In the summer of 2013, when the National Health Service was spending a million pounds investigating Savile’s activities at 32 different hospitals, the Economic and Social Research Council activated its Urgency Grants Mechanism to form a research team for the recovery and collation of documents and the information stored on Anna Raccoon’s computer in the Dordogne.
The team ‘securing a data set on allegations of sexual abuse made against former disc jockey Jimmy Savile’ includes Dr Steve Kirkwood and Clare Llewellyn an informatics specialist, both from the University of Edinburgh, and Dr Ros Burnett, Senior Research Associate at the Centre for Criminology, Oxford University.
Dr Burnett is currently editing Vilified: Wrongful Allegations of Sexual and Child Abuse.
Funded under an ESRC call for urgent research, the project
aims to secure data that might otherwise be lost, relating to allegations made against the former DJ, Jimmy Savile. The initiative for the project came from a lawyer and writer who is a former resident of Duncroft School (from whence the initial allegations against Savile emanate), and whose blogging activity under the name of ‘Anna Raccoon’ has generated a substantial body of related correspondence and contacts which provide and could lead to information not yet in the public domain. We aim to collate and archive Anna Raccoon’s blog posts, comments on these and to interview key staff and former residents from Duncroft School. The data gathered will be digitally archived and made available to other researchers. It is likely to be of interest to social and cultural historians, criminologists, lawyers and social workers amongst others.
Dr Smith said in 2013:
The purpose is to gather new informant data not yet in the public domain but relevant to the allegations about Savile, and to cross-check this against information in newspapers and official reports.
The new data is likely to include emails, letters, blog posts and comments on blog posts, and possibly documents relating to Duncroft School, and maybe photocopies of personal notes such as diary entries and autobiographical notes that the correspondents may be willing to share. An important element of what we will be doing during this urgent phase is obtain permission to share the new data which has been acquired by Anna Raccoon. A priority will be reassure participants that their data will be appropriately anonymised.
Susanne Cameron-Blackie, still contributing to her Anna Raccoon blog, but now living with her husband in Norfolk, said last week:
I am still suffering from cancer. The doctors have not given me long to live. Although I am both a writer and a lawyer I could not have embarked on a lengthy project at this stage in my life.
I looked for someone who could research the actual truth about what really happened all those years ago and delineate the path by which we arrived at the current situation.
The NHS investigated Jimmy Saviles’s activities at Moss Side Hospital, a psychiatric hospital later merged to form the top security Ashworth Hopital at Maghull near Liverpool, Prestwich Psychiatric Hospital, St Catherine’s Hospital, Birkenhead, Wythenshawe Hospital and Booth Hall Children’s Hospital [closed in 2009]. No ‘irrefutable’ offences were found.
REPORT (by Barbara Hewson) : Campaigning organisation FACT (Falsely Accused Carers and Teachers)’s Spring Conference on Wrongful Accusations of Abuse was held on May 30th, under the aegis of Cardiff Law School.
Only just seeing this today ! Good reporting ^ Barbara (Hewson) especially the stories about Police ‘trawling’ for ‘victims’, appalling. My only gripe would be that neither Mark Smith or ‘Anna Raccoon’ appear to have mentioned the University research project relating to the Savile claims. Much talk of ‘post Savile’ but, he, or rather, his loved ones, have had to endure three years of, what many now believe are ‘false’ claims repeated in the media on an almost daily beside.
Several bloggers including myself have been investigating the Savile claims for more than two years. A fact noted here –
‘So began a three year unofficial investigation into the Duncroft allegations that had sparked the 2012 nationwide Savile Scandal.
Cameron-Blackie collated further information gathered by three other blogging investigators known as Moor Larkin, Rabbitaway and The Rockphiles.’
Here’s the link the more folk know the better. Shame no-one bothered to mention it on the day !
Jimmy Savile ‘Moral Panic’ tracked by computer in Dordogne
Murrin told reporter Andrew Rosthorn that the Private Eye reporter Paul Halloran had said to him, ‘I want a blank cheque made payable to me, cash up front. I want access to your informants.’ Murrin gave Rosthorn the telephone number of John Robertson of the Inland Revenue Enquiry Branch in Liverpool and put Rosthorn in touch with former Oyston employees Bill Nabb, Richard Arnold and Sheila Catlin. Murrin passed on to Rosthorn information about Liverpool drug dealers, accountants and councillors and details of the Comerford Old Bailey case of 1986 in which ‘Bob the Dog’ McGorrin was named as Liverpool’s leading drug dealer under cross-examination. Murrin said Liverpool’s deputy Labour leader Derek Hatton was linked to these men and that developer Ted Spencer, who fled Britain at about same time as McGorrin, had done property deals in Preston with its deputy Labour leader Frank McGrath. Murrin called Bill Harrison and told him a Merseyside reporter was, ‘connecting Derek Hatton with drugs in Liverpool, Bobby McGorrin, the Hughes Twins. He’s coming up with all the same names as I’m coming up with.’
5 July
Murrin wrote to Detective Inspector Frank Whitehead of Greater Manchester Commercial Fraud Squad saying, ‘I have forwarded tapes to Lancashire Police [Operation Angel] as follows: 1. an interview with Mr J. Seddon in which he claims Oyston offered him the sexual services of a woman. 2. A telephone conversation with a Mr McNabb during which he said Oyston had claimed to have compromising photographs of a business associate. ‘There were constant reports of Oyston being provided women by Martin and of Oyston providing women to politicians and business associates. The use of “children” was also the subject of one report.I request a full investigation into the allegations made concerning Martin and Oyston.’
6 July
Alerted by Andrew Rosthorn, Dale Campbell-Savours MP put down notice of an Early Day Motion in the House of Commons asking Owen Oyston to state whether Oyston Ltd, registered in the Isle of Man and controlled from Hong Kong by Patrick Diamond had any connection with Oyston Estates Agency Ltd. He also put down a question ‘to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, if all investigations into the tax affairs of Oyston Estates Agency Ltd. and related companies are complete.’
9 July
Rosthorn’s inquiries at Advertee Ltd., an advertising firm recently bought by Oyston from the directors of a bankrupt publishing firm, revealed that ex-policeman Peter Martin was apparently running the firm, with offices in Manchester and Preston. Martin said he was a former fraud squad policeman and ran the Model Team International agency in Manchester. Martin ‘boasted that he was getting £50k per annum as Oyston’s “toe rag”.’ Martin talked of getting calls to take models at night to Oyston in London. Models at the agency had complained to the Advertee staff that they had paid for a ‘course that never materialised and have not been paid.
‘ Oyston and Campbell-Savours MP met in Cumbria, after which Oyston promised a ‘world-wide investigation’ to find who was behind the two ‘Oyston companies’.
11 July
Rosthorn reported Halloran’s activities with Murrin to Ian Hislop, editor of Private Eye.
13 July
Oyston served an injunction on Murrin forbidding him from further publishing his Red Rose document.
Harding played vital role in Britain’s biggest child sex ring
MUSIC box collector and clock maker Keith Harding, whose staff restored antiques for royalty, played a vital role in Britain’s biggest child sex ring.
The pervert met regularly with MPs Leon Brittan and Cyril Smith at his world-renowned workshop. The former Liberal leader Jeremy Thorpe would also drop by along with key members of the vile Paedophile Information Exchange Steven Adrian Smith and Tom O’Carroll.A PIE list seized in 1984 records Harding, who died from cancer last year aged 82, as member 329 and his address as Hornsey Road, Holloway, north London.He is understood to have kept hidden a list of more than 1,000 PIE members with prominent names including top politicians from the Thatcher era.One of his staff, who worked for him between 1980 and 1987, said: “Leon Brittan and Cyril Smith were both regular visitors to the shop.Usually they would come in via the side door, other times they would ring the bell at the front entrance and come in.“They’d straight away ask for Keith who would be coming down the stairs.“Then they would then either go up to his office for a private meeting or they’d go out for several hours.”The former worker added: “The shop had many high profile customers, including the Royals, because we were one of the few antique dealers in the world that specialised in restoring clocks, music boxes and automatons.“It’s only now, with what I know about Brittan and Smith, and of course Keith, that has made me wonder what they were doing. Jeremy Thorpe too was an occasional visitor.”http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/576187/Keith-Harding-MPs-Leon-Brittan-Cyril-Smith-Jeremy-Thorpe

Interesting call for inquiry into Oyston, Pendry and Hall by Slog:
Hall, Roache and Oyston all have big stakes in same publishing company.
Pendry also business associate of Oyston.
PERVERT telly star Stuart Hall was a member of a paedophile group including a member of the House of Lords, one of his victims has claimed.
Stuart Hall has been branded an ‘opportunistic predator’ after admitting his crimes and may face jail
The ex-BBC North West newsreader last month admitted 14 counts of sex abuse on women and girls as young as nine.
The woman told how the unnamed peer “helped” Hall carry out his decades of abuse.
The news came as it emerged that – in a final insult to his victims – Hall has signed over ownership of his £1.2million Cheshire mansion to wife Hazel, making it harder for them to sue him for its value.
And we can reveal they are concerned Hall could still evade “true justice” as the judge sentencing him has let sex offenders walk free in the past.
Sources close to the Lancashire Police investigation into Hall said they were “aware of the (paedophile) claims” and urged anyone with information to come forward.
The ex-BBC North West newsreader last month admitted 14 counts of sex abuse on women and girls as young as nine.
After his initial arrest in January he pleaded his innocence in a strongly-worded statement.
But it emerged last week that just two weeks later he was hatching secret plans to safeguard his family’s fortune and make it harder for victims to get their hands on it.
Richard Denby’s Radio Pennine attracted paedos and perverts like ointment attracts flies.
In fact, the station’s investor was Owen Oyston!
Can one private radio station in West Yorkshire have had associations with so many paedos and rapists? Is is really a coincidence?
Oyston homes in on Spain
23 November 2003
THE former chairman of Blackpool football club, one-time media baron and convicted rapist Owen Oyston has teamed up with a Labour peer to run a Spanish estate-agent.
Oyston, jailed for raping a 16-year-old model, has bought the firm in Marbella on the Costa del Sol. Since his release he has consistently protested his innocence.
The company, which specialises in selling luxury properties around the fashionable resort has been renamed Oyston Steel, and while Oyston is not one of the seven directors named at Companies House, he is the sole owner of the business.
The directors include Lord Pendry, the former Stalybridge and Hyde MP who once served as shadow sports minister. Pendry has been one of Oyston’s loyal supporters and in 1995 he accused two Conservative politicians of masterminding a dirty tricks campaign against him.
Millionaire rapist invited to a gala dinner by Labour
14 July 2007
A convicted rapist attended a fundraising dinner for the Labour Party this week, alongside Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and a string of celebrities.
Owen Oyston, who served three-and-a-half years in jail for attacking a 16-year-old girl, was invited by party chiefs to the £1,000-ahead event at Wembley Stadium.
The disgraced multi-millionaire businessman was filmed at the gala on Thursday which aimed to raise £500,000 to help plug the £20million hole in Labour’s finances.
Also on the guest list were Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson
Millionaire Owen Oyston was accused of being a multiple rapist who helped run a sex ring. …four rapes, three indecent assaults and conspiracy to procure women for sex.
At the same time , model agency Peter Martin questioned about 19 alleged rapes and a conspiracy to procure young models for sex with others.
One time a close friend of Neil Kinnock, the former Labour leader, Owen Oyston (friends with Stuart Hall and Lord Pendry) was once one of the party’s biggest individual backers.
Stuart Hall was convicted and jailed in 2013 for a string of serious sexual assaults on young girls one of whom was only 9 years old at the time she was attacked.
The Independent Newspaper reported about a letter from one of Stuart Hall’s victim’s:
“The story she told cut away the undeclared certainties of life we all take for granted, rely on. She was a “shy, intelligent, studious, pretty girl”, young for her years, who was going to go to university one day. He was invited to the school to hand out annual prizes and she was one of the prize winners After the ceremony the head summoned her to say Hall was so impressed with her, he had asked her to visit the BBC studios.”
“To have a man of my father’s age take a benevolent interest in me seemed wonderful to a girl of my history,” she writes. She went to the studios encouraged by her mum and head teacher. And went back again, and once more. He seemed caring. Then, having groomed her, she alleges, he got her drunk and started the abuse. She kept going back. His mates, she claims, helped Hall with his filthy hobby.
The sex acts hurt. Sometimes she bled. She hated it”
Stuart Hall lived in Stalybridge which is Lord Pendry’s former constituency when he was a Labour MP.
Lord Janner’s family to ‘undermine’ sex abuse inquiry strand into their father after being given formal role in investigation
“It gives me the chance to undermine the inquiry from within.” Daniel Janner QC
The family of Lord Janner yesterday vowed to ‘undermine from within’ the Government’s beleaguered child sex abuse inquiry after being given a formal role in the investigation.
1 February 2017
The family were granted core participant status which gives them access to documents and to have lawyers attend the inquiry’s hearings.
Claims that Daniel Janner was home when Greville brought child abuse victim home
Dame Alun Roberts@ciabaudo
Has Denial Janner not noticed that there are at least 33 other victims of his father making similar claims? Has he forgotten that the CPS said several opportunities were missed to bring Bugger Janner to justice?
That would mean spending precious time on it – and there are many good people, Laura Janner, Harvey Proctor, Kato Harris,who have repaid my support of them with nothing but kindness and continued support.
The deathbed candidate: The cancer-sufferer standing against Jeremy Corbyn in his own backyard
Cancer sufferer Susanne Cameron-Blackie is standing in the General Election
The 68-year-old political blogger wants to use her dying days to fight Labour
Ms Cameron-Blackie will challenge Jeremy Corbyn for his seat in Islingto
Jeremy Corbyn claims the NHS isn’t safe in Tory hands. But the truth is, it’s not safe under Labour, either. The crisis that is threatening to destroy it gets deeper every day for reasons Corbyn hasn’t started to think about – and that’s why I’m running against him.’
Susanne Cameron-Blackie, better known as the political blogger Anna Raccoon, is speaking in her cottage kitchen, blessed with a stunning view across the Norfolk Broads. She is in a hospital bed, propped up by pillows. It is likely to be her death bed, her last resting place before the cancer that has ravaged her body finally claims her.
Yet it is from here that she will register this week as an independent candidate to fight Corbyn for his parliamentary seat in Islington North.
Susanne does not know whether she will survive until Election Day on June 8. But she is determined to use every moment she has left to fight Corbyn
On a bedside table are some of the drugs keeping at bay the agony caused by the cancer which has spread through much of her body: Fentanyl, a clinical form of heroin, and the animal tranquilliser ketamine. A team of nurses visits every day.
Susanne does not know whether she will survive until Election Day on June 8. But she is determined to use every moment she has left to fight Corbyn.
‘I may be the first parliamentary candidate forced to lie down, rather than stand, for office. But I’m determined to do something useful with what’s left of my life.
‘I’m taking on Corbyn in his political comfort zone. He talks about shaping the future. As things stand, the future for the NHS is to vanish up its own backside because of the money going on lawyers and damages.’
Her campaign is based on the urgent need for sweeping reform of the personal injury legal system, to safeguard the NHS from the crippling and ever-increasing burden of medical negligence lawsuits.
Last year, NHS Resolution, the body which handles such claims, revealed that cases arising from incidents up to the middle of 2016 are set to soak up a staggering £56 billion in lawyers’ fees and damages by the time they are settled – half NHS England’s annual budget.
Susanne, 68, has battled her illness, leiomyosarcoma, a rare soft tissue cancer, for six years. After almost killing her several times, it has now attacked her spine, rendering her immobile.
Susanne Nundy is the name used by British Libertarian blogger, Anna Raccoon, more popularly known for her posts about the Madeleine McCann and Hollie Greig stories
Nundy and Greg Watkins are alleged to have co-managed a disinformation campaign around the Hollie Greig case
Why did ‘Susanne Nundy’ or whoever she is – use the email address courtofprotection.co.uk?
The Court of Protection as it exists now, was set up by Jack Straw and New Labour in 2005 (created under the Mental Capacity Act 2005).
In the Inexorable choices‘ post Nundy says she was in office in 2003 (just as Blair ditched the office of Lord Chancellor) and yet in an email she sent me yesterday, Raccoon insists she had resigned the office in 2000 . But even Chris Carter, her replacement in 2004, insists she was working at this time.
Interestingly the email address alleged to have ‘outed’ Anna Raccoon (and I use the term cautiously) was left on a website for Old Scholars at St Christopher’s School in Letchworth, Hertfordshire – an old and respected boarding school set up by Beatrice Ensor – a close friend of Fabian Socialist and Freemason, Annie Besant and sponsored by Helena Blavtasky’s Theosophical Society.
I’m also finding it difficult to reconcile Susanne Nundy’s celebrated ‘Libertarian’ ideals with the idea of her working with such a crudely draconian, insidious and cheerfully Orwellian institution as the Court of Protection. I’ve seen her attempts to address this fairly awkward little paradox in her blog. She says it wasn’t an invention of ‘Nu Labour’ and Jack Straw – but that’s just being pedantic.
It had existed in one form or another for years, but New Labour extended its powers and its reach exponentially in 2005 (whilst simultaneously incapacitating the power of carers and relatives). It was rebranded, relaunched. According to a Daily Telegraph report, the Court of Protection’s expansion had been controversial’ not only for its extensive powers but also for the fact that almost all of its hearings take place in private‘.
Moore Laine sounds like Anna Racoon who’s real name is Susanne Nundy but who uses her maiden name of Suzanne Cameron-Blackie
She uses a lot of names and works for M15. Her and her little group are specialist child abuse debunkers.
Raccoon attending Duncroft is not a surprise as I am told it was used to recruit highly intelligent but very seriously disturbed girls for work in the intelligence services.
Crushed: Susanne, pictured above in her 20s, was a victim of medical negligence in 1973 when she was given a hysterectomy at the Westminster Hospital when she was admitted for a ‘dilation and curettage’, a minor operation used to deal with heavy periods
But she shows no sign of giving up. ‘No politician has ever tackled this issue, least of all Corbyn,’ she says. ‘All Labour talks about is the amount of money going in through the NHS’s front door – ignoring the haemorrhaging out the back.’
Just how pressing the issue is was brought home to Susanne last month. After spending days in the cancer high-dependency unit at the Norwich and Norfolk Hospital, she had been prescribed the Fentanyl and ketamine, but an error by a nurse meant she was given a tiny dose of a much weaker drug – a prescription meant for another patient.
She shudders at the memory. ‘I can’t even begin to describe the pain I was in,’ she says. ‘It was a descent into hell.’ No wonder: a scan revealed that the erosion of one of her vertebrae had left her spinal cord exposed.
But for Susanne, worse was to come. ‘Excruciating as it was, the mistake was recognised and put right. But afterwards, I had a visit from someone in the hospital’s legal department. She wanted to know if had I engaged a lawyer, and was I planning to sue?
‘I was flabbergasted. Why? What would be the point? I know why the mistake was made: because the nurses in that unit are rushed off their feet. If I were to sue, the only thing that would change would be my husband’s bank account in several years, long after I’m gone.
‘If I sued, I would be taking away yet more money from the NHS, so making it more likely that a future patient would endure a similar ordeal. This is the point Corbyn and Labour don’t get. They say they are socialists, yet they’re doing nothing about a system which treats the NHS as if it were a manufacturer making faulty products, instead of a provider of a vital social good.’
It wasn’t the first time Susanne had become a victim of medical negligence. In 1973, for reasons never explained, she was given a hysterectomy at the Westminster Hospital when she was admitted for a ‘dilation and curettage’, a minor operation used to deal with heavy periods.
‘I was only 23 – it left me psychologically crushed. Yet 45 years ago, people didn’t think of suing the NHS. One thing I do know is money would have made no difference. I picked myself up and moved on.’
It was not until she was in her 50s that she went to Aberystwyth University and obtained a double first in law. But by this time, she had spent years working for the Lord Chancellor’s department as an investigator for the Court of Protection, the tribunal which decides when people cannot administer their affairs through physical or mental incapacity.
‘As I thought about what had happened at the Norwich and Norfolk, I realised that through my work, I had witnessed some of the system’s worst abuses – in cases where incapacitated people were suing for medical negligence and getting enormous settlements. Then Mrs May announced the Election. I knew this was my chance.’
Among the most crucial reforms, she says, is the repeal of a 1948 law which means, bizarrely, that when patients sue the NHS, their damages are calculated on the basis they will pay for private healthcare for the rest of their lives – even though many will continue to be treated in the public sector, at public cost.
‘I saw this time and again,’ Susanne says. ‘Someone would get a huge settlement, but not fork out a penny on care. Meanwhile big awards, running into millions, are assessed on the basis that the beneficiary will live for several decades. But if they die a few years later, nothing goes back to the NHS. They can leave it to their relatives or a dogs’ home. This has to change.’
However, the biggest change she wants is more fundamental: an end to the legal lottery that means two patients with identical needs will be treated differently – one receiving millions, and the other nothing. ‘Take, for example, a cerebral palsy patient. The case will probably come down to something in the medical notes that a lawyer can argue means the midwife was absent for 19 minutes. These claims aren’t based on need, but on a narrow, legal definition of fault.
‘So they drag on for years. And it means a doctor or a hospital can never say sorry, which is all many patients want – because to do so will mean admitting liability.’
The last time the Government appointed a commission to examine this situation in 1978, it recommended a ‘no fault’ system be investigated.
Tomorrow, armed with the necessary ten local resident signatures and a campaign address in Mr Corbyn’s constituency, Susanne’s candidacy will be registered with the returning officer.
‘Just imagine: if some of the billions going to law firms and left legacies could be put into patient care, what a difference that would make. I will fight to my dying breath to make people – including Jeremy Corbyn – recognise this fact.’
Jimmy Savile’s Duncroft school victims set to sue Barnardo’s and Mind
One woman claims she was abused between 1976 and 1980 when it was run by Barnardo’s and three others say they were molested between 1973 and 1976 when Mind ran the school.
Victims from Duncroft previously described how Savile sexually assaulted them after being allowed to stay overnight by the headmistress.
Child abuse ‘cover-up’ claims after Barnardo’s admits systematically destroying files
June 3 2017
CHILDREN’S charity Barnardo’s systematically destroyed records at its residential care homes where child sex abuse occurred over three decades – but claimed to victims that files had been lost in a flood.
The organisation’s solicitor made the shock admission to the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry. Victims of abuse say they have been left “distressed” by the revelation that the charity had a policy of disposing of files when they shut care homes where abuse happened in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
Groups representing survivors have accused Barnardo’s of “covering their tracks”
Barnardo’s close links with royalty started when our work began in 1867, and still continues today with Her Majesty the Queen as our patron and HRH The Duchess of Cornwall as our President. In fact, Barnardo’s has had a royal patron since 1902 and royal presidents from 1923.
There have been a variety of royal events over the centuries ranging from 100 children attending George V’s silver jubilee in 1935, to royal visits to many of our projects and the opportunity for many children Barnardo’s has worked with over the decades to meet our royal supporters.
Was this research on Duncroft & Savile allegations ever published? It’s closed now and received almost £50k
^ Research related to the blog of former Duncroft School resident (known as the blogger Anna Raccoon) who denied that Jimmy Savile had been at Duncroft when she was there – despite claims by her roommate who said she had been assaulted by Jimmy Savile.
Anna Raccoon has since described how she noticed that a woman who roomed with her in the Wedgewood Dormitory at Duncroft in 1965 was claiming online to have been assaulted by Jimmy Savile in the dormitory when she was 15 years old:
How could I have been so unobservant as to not notice such a comment-worthy event as a major celebrity galloping around the building unescorted? There had to be some mistake in the reporting. Or maybe in my maths? I rechecked all my fingers, yep I was definitely there in 1965. Except for one month at the end of the year – but I was back four months later.
What have we here? An entry in the Metropolitan Police Services Paedophile Intelligence Unit from 1964. In a book also dated 1981. So these matters were taken seriously enough in 1964 to warrant an independent unit, eh? Or backdated in 1981?
“BATTERSEA BRIDGE ROAD, (WA) – 4 older girls & youth named [name] (? Homosexual) live at – Jimmy SAVILLE (sic) well known disc jockey frequents –used by absconders from DUNCROFT APP SCHOOL”.
Wow, that’s odd. 1964, just the time when I was first an absconder from Duncroft – and living in Battersea Bridge Road!
In a house rented by four older girls, who ran the fan club for The Animals, and one of the girls was Don Arden’s secretary and frequently on Top of the Pops… couldn’t be the same house could it?
Behind the glitz of Top Of The Pops were serious, sometimes villainous men like Arden making mountains of money which they were determined to hang on to. He would beat the other guy, he would say, by “fair means or foul”.
…charged with the kidnapping, blackmail, torture and the assault of the former employee.
Amazingly, he got off.
Don also became involved with the Republican Party and Ronald Reagan. When Reagan became President, Don was invited to the White House.
Don Arden – associate of the Krays – who ran a paedophile ring
My only connection with those girls was that my then boyfriend, Joss, knew them, and they had agreed that I could temporarily sleep on their sofa – which I did.
One of the girls, Dawn Voice-Cooper, was secretary to Don Arden, at the time the largest promoter of rock bands in London. We stayed friends for the next ten years, until she moved to Spain.
I am aware that there had been two Duncroft girls, before my time – ie several years older than me, who had become prostitutes after they left
Had I managed to miss being mauled by Savile yet again?
I think I now hold the world record for managing to be in the most places where Savile is alleged to have abused and never even managed to meet him, never mind been abused by him.
[Name] ….living on (sic) immoral earnings of [names of two females identified as DUNCROFT girls].2 yrs imp.[Name]…Charged with [name] as above, also further charged with harbouring [female‟s name] – failed to appear…on 20/10/64 having estreated his bail & thought to be in Holland.

Anna Raccoon some some years after Duncroft school
“All men were coloured.” Nope, must have been another group of Duncroft girls, the house I was living in was definitely not being used as a brothel, nor were there any coloured men anywhere near it. Odd that we never bumped into each other though – perhaps they were much older than I.

Little known facts. Ms Raccoon’s Aunt stood for election in Breckfield ward Liverpool City Council in May 1952.
Grandfather died pounding the streets of Westminster in July 1945 as political agent for a candidate I cannot remember the name of now.
Anna Raccon’s aunt was Dr Margery Blackie – physician to Queen Elizabeth
Queen Elizabeth with homoeopath Dr Margery Blackie, the Queen’s first woman physician.
Margery Grace Blackie CVO (4 February 1898 – 24 August 1981) was a British doctor who later changed to homeopathy and became homeopath to Queen Elizabeth II
Margery Grace Blackie was born at Redbourn, Hertfordshire, on 4 February 1898, the youngest of ten children of Robert Blackie (c.1852–1936), who was independently wealthy, and his wife, Elizabeth (d. 1941), daughter of Rowland Rees, the civil engineer and Mayor of Brighton. Her uncle, by marriage, was James Compton-Burnett, a noted Homeopathic Doctor. His daughter, the novelist Ivy Compton-Burnett was a first cousin.[1] In 1911 the family moved to London, and she was educated at the Haberdashers’ Aske’s School for Girls in Acton.[1]
In 1955 she had her first meeting with Her Majesty the Queen, who was to become her patient fourteen years later. (1969)
Until her death in 2002, at the ripe old age of 101, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, was the principal royal patron of the British Homeopathic Association. The Duke of Gloucester, formerly Prince Richard, remains royal patron of the association.
Princess Alice, the late Duchess of Gloucester, was the patron of the Blackie Foundation Trust established in honor of Dr. Margery Blackie, the former royal homeopathic physician who served from 1969 until 1980.
At present, Princess Alexandra, Lady Ogilvy, is patron to the Blackie Foundation Trust, and Mary, Duchess of Roxburghe, serves as one of the vice-presidents of this organization.
With the longstanding love of homeopathy among the super-rich, it is notable that
Blackie Foundation Trust Founded in 1971
one of the three founding trustees of the Blackie Foundation Trust was one of Margery’s former wealthy patients, Robin Holland-Martin — an investment banker who was at the time a Partner at Cazenove and Company (now J.P. Morgan Cazenove).
Robin Holland-Martin still remains as the President of Margery’s homeopathic venture.

^ Celebrating her 21st birthday in great style on midsummer’s night, Ilona Guest held a masked ball at her mother’s stunning 18th-century chateau in Normandy. Guests of all ages, all nationalities and all sexual proclivities led to frequent cases of mistaken identity. The chatelaine, Venetia Wimborne, did not initially recognize her own son, Grant Barker, behind his golden mask; Vincent Poklewski – Koziell confused everyone by changing his mask frequently – one minute an 18th century courtier the next Coco the Clown. Thankfully, the masks were discarded after the first dance. Ilona’s usually reserved brother Ivor Wimborne gave a moving speech about how his little sister arrived in the world while he was learning to fly-fish. A spectacular electric storm gave way to rain-dancing till dawn, leaving just enough time for things to be put in order for dejeuner sur l’herbe the following day.
One typical vice president of the Blackie Foundation Trust is Enid Segall, who can also boast of being the president of the European Federation of Homeopathic Patients’ Associations.
Here Enid works closely with this Association’s secretary, Sato Liu, who recently served as the Special Projects Manager for Prince Charles’s now defunct quack outfit, the Foundation For Integrated Health, and prior to that as the executive director of the lobbying group known as the Natural Medicines Society (1988-2005).
Robin Holland-Martin of the Blackie Trust Foundation is related to Rosamund Hornby Holland-Martin of the NSPCC and she is related to Charles Hornby of the Playland paedophile Ring
In 1975, Scotland Yard carried out a high-profile child abuse investigation which centred on the Playland amusement arcade near Piccadilly Circus, and involved the sexual exploitation of homeless boys. The investigation led to five convictions in September 1975. Four of the men convicted were ‘nobodies’, but one – Charles Hornby – was a pillar of the Establishment. He was a wealthy socialite, a Lloyd’s underwriter, and an old Etonian, “who on occasion had Prince Charles among his dinner guests”.
The four ‘nobodies’ later had their sentences reduced in mysterious circumstances. One of them, David Archer, alleged that Hornby was far from being the only VIP involved in the Playland scandal.
Last night Archer said he would present the police with a dossier naming the ‘millionaires and titled and influential people’ involved in the Playland affair. He added: ‘I believe there was a tremendous cover-up to protect these people.’
A clue as to the identity of one of these ‘titled and influential people’ appeared nearly a decade later with the publication of Philip Ziegler’s biography of Lord Mountbatten.
In 1975, Mountbatten was told that gossip had linked him to a homosexual scandal. He recorded in his diary: “I might have been accused of many things but hardly the act of homosexuality.”
Lord Louis Mountbatten former chauffeur Norman Nield exposed him
Meanwhile, in New Zealand, there have been such newspaper headlines as, “‘Uncle Dickie’ the Sex Pervert” (N.Z. Truth, Sept. 8, 1987), since Mountbatten’s former chauffeur, Norman Nield, started revealing details of the late Lord Mountbatten’s alleged sexual exploitation of boys.
Paedophile Lord Louis Mountbatten
Edward Prince of Wales and his cousin Lord Louis Mountbatten “relax” in a canvas swimming pool on board H. M. S. Renown during their 1920 Empire Tour.
Lord Louis was a great grandson of Queen Victoria and the uncle of Prince Philip (consort of Queen Elizabeth II). Mountbatten was also a promiscuous bisexual who was famously rumored to have had an affair with Edward VIII (who was Prince of Wales at the time) when he accompanied him on his Empire tours (see photo above).
The Queen. Like any human being, she is subject to the influence of those around her. While he lived, Lord Mountbatten was a persuasive counsellor, and he formulated the plan for Prince Charles’s unusually rigorous education.
2001 Obituary of Rosamund Hornby Holland-Martin by Countess Mountbatten of Burma:
She was hugely active in the NSPCC’s centenary appeal in 1984, especially when, along with Princess Margaret, the society’s president
She was born Rosamund Hornby into a family with a strong history in the NSPCC. Her father, Charles Harry St John Hornby, was a member of the central executive committee (now the board of trustees)
In 1951, she married Deric Holland-Martin – he later became Admiral Sir Deric and she Lady Holland-Martin
Sir Deric was the fourth son of Robert Martin Holland-Martin.

Christopher Holland-Martin was appointed a Director of Martins Bank. He also became involved in politics and was made Joint Honorary Treasurer of the Conservative Party from 1947; two years later he married Lady Anne Cavendish MBE, daughter of the Duke of Devonshire.

Back to the Blackie Foundation Trust:
The former president of the Natural Medicines Society, Lord Colwyn — who is a current patron of the National Federation of Spiritual Healers — is counted as another of the vice presidents of the Blackie Foundation Trust.(5) That said, here it is interesting to observe that although Lord Colwyn has spent much of his life doing his best to institionalise mysticism within the British health system, he has also been at the forefront of some of the scientifcally-orientated good work of the British Fluoridation Society, the latter being a group that seeks to promote flouridation; …,an intriguing anomaly that most likely owes much to Lord Colwyn’s professional training as a dentist.
The Blackie Foundation Trust is a charity that gives research grants and financial help to “medically qualified health care professionals”.[12]
It was founded by Blackie in 1971, when she was homeopathic physician to the Queen.[13]
In 1979, Margery Blackie was appointed a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order, for her services to the royal family.[1]
Homeopathic pioneer Margery Blackie was commemorated with an English Heritage Blue Plaque on 12 October at 3pm at 18 Thurloe Street, London, SW7 where the homeopathic physician lived and worked from 1929 to 1980.
Sir Angus Ogilvy, Princess Alexandra’s husband (left) with Jimmy Savile. All mention of the former DJ’s claims to friendship with the royal was initially omitted from police transcripts
All mention of Princess Alexandra, the youngest granddaughter of King George V and Queen Mary and the widow of Sir Angus Ogilvy, was blacked out when transcripts of the police interview were released in October.
Since 1945, Margery shared her London home with her close friend and secretary, Musette Majendie. They spent weekends at Hedingham Castle, the 100-acre estate which had been home to Majendie’s family since 1720.[8]
In the last year of her life, from 1980 to 1981, she lived at Hedingham Castle with the owner, her close friend and companion, Miss Musette Frances Jacqueline Natalie Majendie CBE (1903–1981), the granddaughter of Lewis Majendie MP.[10][11] On 24 August 1981, she died peacefully from a stroke, and was buried on 29 August at Castle Hedingham.[1]

Who will benefit from this research?
The research proposed has potential impact across a swathe of civil society including:
1. Investigators of alleged historical abuse, e.g. Forensic and clinical psychologists; ACPO Association of Chief Police Officers; Crown Prosecution Service (CPS); Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRS)
2. Organisations which support victims of abuse e.g. Victim Support; The Survivors Trust (TST); National Association for People Abused in Childhood (NAPAC)
3. Those supporting people accused and alleging innocence e.g. The Innocence Network UK (INUK); Falsely Accused Careers, Teachers and other professionals (FACT); Falsely Accused of Sexual Offences (FASO);
4. Defence solicitors and barristers specialising in charges of child/sex abuse;
5. Professional organisations e.g. NASUWT – the largest teachers’ union; Scottish Residential Child Care Workers Association (SRCCWA);
6. Charities and institutions affected by Savile’s legacy. e.g. The Jimmy Savile Stoke Mandeville Hospital Trust; The (Leeds-based) Jimmy Savile Charitable Trust; The BBC.
7. Newspaper and broadcast media organisations e.g students on journalism courses
8. Policy makers
Basically Susanne got in touch with me a couple of years ago now saying that she had all this alternative story on this Savile case that she was starting to blog about and that she wanted to give it over to a good home.
So Ros, myself and a couple of my colleagues at Edinburgh actually managed to get some money from the Economic and Social Research Council to collate Susanne’s information.
From convicted paedophile/PIE member Tom O’Carroll:
Yes, Anna, or Susanne, is right at the heart of this story. Her wonderful, detailed, sceptical analyses of the claims against Savile have been highlighted here at Heretic TOC on several occasions, so I am sure we will all be delighted to hear that her work has won academic appreciation and government funding for a follow-up project.
In 2013 Anna Raccoon sent an email to Professor Viviene Cree at the Edinburgh University School of Social and Political Science, explaining the situation and saying she hoped the university would provide a good home for her archive. That summer the Economic and Social Research Council activated its Urgency Grants Mechanism to form a research team for the recovery and collation of documents and the information stored on Anna Raccoon’s computer in the Dordogne. The full story of the research team and its project are set out in the Lancashire Magazine’s article and is recommended reading.
Mark is Head of Social Work and Senior Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh.
He spent almost 20 years as a practitioner and manager in List D schools/secure accommodation, and his PhD was essentially an oral history charting changing discourses of care in Scottish residential schools.
He has research and writing interests across a wide range of residential child care policy and practice, especially around concepts of care and upbringing. He has a particular interest in European models of social pedagogy and in applying these in a Scottish context.

How I came to be in this field
My mum and dad both went into teaching later in life and I was minded to follow them in that direction. History teachers, though, were ten-a-penny when I graduated so I worked in a bar for a while. I then responded to a job advert for a temporary residential social worker. I think the school needed some younger legs for its football team, which was run by an aging though still mad keen Head of Education. So I got taken on and as so often happens, I stayed. During my time there I took time out to do social work training at the University of Stirling, where I came across Leon Fulcher, who was Director of Social Work Education there. Fifteen years or so later Leon, who by that stage had moved to New Zealand, was responsible for putting me in touch with Thom Garfat, who has nagged me ever since to produce a monthly column for CYC-Online.
Favourite cyc experience I’ve had a few. In 1990 a couple of colleagues and myself took a group of boys to the World cup in Italy. Overall that probably rates as my favourite experience. I wrote about it in one of my CYC-Online columns: see http://www.cyc-net.org/cycol-0608-smith.html
I was brought up and remain a Catholic and have encountered enough good priests along the way to keep me clinging to the Church’s social teaching if not always other aspects of Catholicism.
The De La Salle Brothers, with whom I worked for 8 years provided my formative experiences in child and youth care. Frank Rochford, the Head of Education and part-time football team manager mentioned above, was the wisest boss and colleague. Eddie McCabe and Onanda Randall, both sadly now dead, are the most charismatic figures I have come across – they touched lives.
Leon Fulcher introduced me to the literature on child and youth care and has been immensely supportive ever since. Through Leon I have become part of the wider child and youth care community. I remember one memorable night in Ireland drinking Guinness with Leon, Thom Garfat and Jack Phelan and a group of Irish practitioners.
I have been blessed with intelligent and supportive colleagues wherever I have worked.
Students on the MSc in Residential child care at the University of Strathclyde helped me form or reinforce my views on residential care.
It’s a strange article in that it fails to mention Righton’s long association with Social Work Today and the dozens of columns that he wrote for the magazine.
From Anna Raccoon 2014
Ozzie Man – “Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
annaraccoon.co.uk/2014/11/…/ozzie-man-look-on-my-works-ye-mighty-and-despair/
Nov 5, 2014 – A sorely missed commentator on this blog is Margaret Jervis who had a …. Folk like Peter Righton, doyen of the UK Social Work Establishment …
Margaret Jervis:
The Let Our Voices Emerge (LOVE) group and British False Memory Society criticised the commission and claimed the scale of alleged abuse in Ireland was incredulous and caused irreversible damage to those accused.
The claims sparked fury among abuse victims who branded it an outrageous attack against all Irish people.
The Survivors of Child Abuse (SOCA) held a protest against the two groups as they met in Dublin and angrily hit out at claims they had conjured up defective and exaggerated memories.
Margaret Jervis, legal advisor to the False Memory Society, linked Ireland’s large number of outstanding child abuse complaints to the Government’s “open-ended” compensation scheme and its definitions of abuse.
She described the therapy system as “a machine for manufacturing false allegations.”
LOVE promotes a positive image of religious orders in children’s homes and works to protect innocent people accused of abuse.
Founder member Florence Horsman-Hogan said people were being given incentives to exaggerate and fabricate claims of abuse.
“We believe around 30% of abuse allegations in Ireland are false…”
Ms Jervis infuriated genuine victims when she said: “The Irish are great storytellers and many, it seems, are making extreme allegations.
“The further you go back in years with allegations of abuse, the taller the stories become.”
“Agenda, bias, call it what you will, Margaret, but you are a professional CSA refuter, paid to help deny CSA claims. I’ve been reading many of your articles and they all, unsurprisingly, have the same theme, dogged denial or discreditation of CSA. Cleveland was a particular interest, many now consider to be a Psyop. Spin and propaganda is rife in the world of CSA, particularly VIP abuse.”
Richard Webster in 2002 with mention of Margaret Jervis and British False Memory Society.
Mr McKelvie was a child protection manager in Hereford and Worcester and worked on the conviction of paedophile Peter Righton -a former consultant to the National Children’s Bureau.
Righton, who is now dead, was also a founding member of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), before he was convicted of importing child pornography.
…Mr McKelvie said the evidence went further than just Righton and claimed he told police in 2012 there were seven boxes of potential evidence being stored by West Mercia Police. He said the evidence included letters between Righton and other alleged paedophiles.
He said: “I believe that there is strong evidence, and an awful lot of information that can be converted into evidence if it is investigated properly, that there’s been an extremely powerful elite among the highest levels of the political classes for as long as I have been alive – I’m 65 now.
“We are looking at the Lords, we are looking at the Commons, we are looking at the judiciary, we are looking at all institutions where there will be a small percentage of paedophiles and a slightly larger percentage of people who have known about it but have felt that in terms of their own self-interest and self-preservation and for political party reasons it’s been safer for them to cover it up rather than deal with it.”
THREE Stacey was very close to Peter Righton. Stacey, formerly a vicar, was based in Maidstone, where Righton also lived for a time.
FOUR They cemented their friendship via Social Work Today and were on a steering ctte to train those working with disturbed young people.
FIVE Also in this group of 6 were John Rea Price, Director of Islington for 19 years while every one of its kids’ homes was run by paedos.
SIX When Liz Davies blew the whistle on Islington, Rea Price quickly legged it to become CEO of NCB, also based in Islington.
SEVEN Also close to Righton and Stacey was Chris Andrews, Chair of BASW and another force within SWT alongside Margaret Claire Jervis.
Read here how Andrews rushed to the defence of paedophile Peter Righton:
Chris Andrews, of BASW, described Righton at the time of his arrest as follows: He [Righton] is a highly respected figure within the residential field, particularly working with highly disturbed children. He is very much concerned with therapeutic work in child care’ (cited in Burden and Rose, ‘Porn Squad quiz Child Care Expert’).
EIGHT Margaret Claire Jervis went on to become Barbara Hewson’s close friend and fellow activist in the false allegations campaign.
NINE When Righton was arrested in 1992, Chris Andrews, who spoke for BASW, was one of the first to jump to Righton’s defence.
TEN Incredible correspondence between Chris Andrews and Tom O’Carroll reveals Andrews in his official capacity representing social workers
Here is the nasty Tom O’Carroll in correspondence with Andrews.
So Chris Andrews, GenSec of BASW and close associate of Hewson buddy Claire Jervis, was in contact with PIE and O’Carroll. Well, well, well!
Here again is Jervis associate Andrews writing to O’Carroll, boadly agreeing with PIE:
ELEVEN In it, he supports PIE’s aims and asks to become a subscriber to their magazine , Magpie.
TWELVE Magpie made no attempt to disguise its aims, even containing pages of adverts for paedophiles to link up and share chiildren.
Complimentary tickets to PIE event from convicted paedo Tom O’Carroll to Chris Andrews of BASW, colleague of Hewson friend Claire Jervis.
I wonder how close Jervis herself was to Righton and PIE?
Isn’t it interesting how Clare Jervis pops up everywhere where there is a child abuse scandal to rubbish: Northern Ireland, Cleveland, Savile …

Indeed, they were vital to his movements. Did police retrieve them from his secretary’s garage? Or were they given back to the family?

AnnaStillHereRaccoon@AnnaRaccoon2017
who they are so when they try to write about JK they will have the same treatment I’ve had. Not hide behind false names. They call him ‘Sir’ Same as Savile. They had meeting up in Leeds. Amanda, Johnny, Hewson, rabbit don’t know about moor or jervis, can’t remember.
Very interesting that @AnnaRaccoon2017 is not retracting her claim that the Gin Goblin (Barbara Hewson) met with Amanda McKenna, Savile’s niece, in Leeds!
Equally interesting that the Gin Goblin has NOT denied that this meeting took place.
Jerry Sadowitz performance from 1987 where he describes Jimmy Savile as a danger to children…
‘There have been serious allegations of child abuse in Cleveland. To my mind there is only one way to find out whether this is true or not and that’s to . . . CALL IN JIMMY SAVILE! You can’t afford to f* about! Bring in an expert!* Am I right? A friend of mine reckons Jimmy Savile is a paedophile. Rubbish — he’s a child-bender! That’s why he does all the f**** charity work: it’s to gain public sympathy for when his f***** case comes up.’
That show was called Total Abuse. And it was. Unrepeatable jokes about Princess Diana, Terry Waite, Norman Tebbit, Nelson Mandela.
One presumes he had heard the rumours and was bold enough to put them out there. The point is, what about the rest of them?
If Sadowitz, a fringe comic with no connections to TV or radio at the time, had heard enough to joke about Savile in 1987, it is fair to presume his more famous contemporaries knew, too. This would include people who have done some serious moralising in the media of late.
Mmmh. So Anna Raccoon remembers a meeting in Leeds attended by Savile niece and brother and – wait – Barbara Hewson? No wonder she’s jittery
LazerLight@Lazer_Light23
How could Amanda review the cases, wasn’t she a beneficiary of the will?

I don’t know but either way, that’s surely a serious breach of data protection?

Northern Regional Health Authority barred Dr Higgs from child abuse work in their region. She has never apologised. “I reached my clinical diagnosis after very careful thought and I would do the same today,” is what she said then. Although this week she refused to comment further, Dr Higgs made it clear she has not changed her views.
The Anal Dilation Theory practised by as not her idea however, she just became the most infamous practioner.…the Daily Mail report about a girl called Jodie .
The girl was referred to the community paediatrics department at the city’s St James’s University Hospital on the following Thursday… The hospital has a busy child protection team, overseen by the paediatric consultant Dr Christopher Hobbs. Significantly, he is an original pioneer of the RAD technique in this country.
In June 1986, just a year before the Cleveland controversy broke, Dr Hobbs and his colleague Jane Wynne introduced young Marietta Higgs to this new way of diagnosing child molestation during a Leeds’ medical conference.
A paper written in Leeds by the two premier experts (Hobbs & Wyatt) contains no mention of Jimmy Savile
…the doctors evidently being privy to all the police information from the years 1985-1987, when a “Paedophile Ring” was declared to exist in South Leeds – a claim made by experts in the field and backed up by the police at the time.
(yet) there was no mention by anyone of Leeds native, (Jimmy Savile) known by sight to one and all – especially all those folks who worked in the hospitals he worked in, like Dr. Hobbs, and Dr Wynne.
Leon Brittan and the Leeds child abuse dossier
Leon Brittan and the Leeds child abuse dossier
In February 1985, the Yorkshire Evening Post revealed that ‘a horrifying dossier on child prostitution in Leeds – involving girls as young as nine – has been compiled by shocked social services chiefs‘.
‘As many as 60 under-age girls are known to have been involved in illegal sex activities…in the south Leeds area‘
‘Eight of the girls involved had been taken into the care of the local authority at some stage and six of them were still in care today‘
Councillor Bernard Atha, the chairman of the city’s social services committee, said he was ‘horrified by the magnitude of the problem’, which he believed was the largest case of its kind in the country.
The MP for Leeds South, Merlyn Rees, obviously agreed with Councillor Atha’s assessment of the scale of the problem, as four days later the Yorkshire Evening Post reported that he was to write to the Home Secretary, Leon Brittan.
Mr Rees said “It is very worrying and obviously something needs to be done. This could be just the tip of the iceberg and I want the Home Secretary to investigate“.
So, what did Leon Brittan do about it?
There were no statements read by him in Parliament, and unless a government initiative to crack down on child abuse was launched in secret, it seems Mr. Brittan did nothing.
A news report from June 1985 said that “three new cases of paid sex involving under-age children were being investigated” – so the problem obviously hadn’t been solved. 120 girls had been questioned, but there’s nothing in the report about the ringleaders who were sexually exploiting children being arrested.
Perhaps Bernard Atha, who is still a Leeds councillor, can shed some light on this?
Yorkshire Evening Post, 14th February 1985
So Leon Brittan lied about British Aerospace, didn’t remember the Dickens’ dossier and did not act on information regarding these poor girls in South Leeds.
This was clearly a national problem, as the following year Geoffrey Dickens exposed a ‘child brothel’ involving up to 40 children that was being run on a North London council estate. This was swiftly covered up and Dickens was told he must apologise to the residents that he had insulted. More
In November 1983, Geoffrey Dickens gave the Home Secretary, Leon Brittan, a dossier on the Paedophile Information Exchange, who wanted the age of consent reduced to 4 years old, and allegations of child sexual abuse by Buckingham Palace staff. In January 1984, Dickens gave Brittan a second dossier detailing sexual abuse at a children’s home, and naming prominent paedophiles including a television executive. More
It appears that Brittan failed to act on the contents of both dossiers. Nothing was done to help the children who were being abused, and nothing was done to bring the abusers to justice. Tom Watson MP tabled a written PMQ to the current Home Secretary, Theresa May, on 25th February 2013, asking for the whereabouts of the dossiers. Nearly 5 months have passed and there’s still no reply from Theresa May… More
This is what Labour Cllr Atha had to say about Savile, his friend over several decades, a week after his death: “A number of us (Councillors) will consider what we ought to do to commemorate a person who was an outstanding personality, a very nice, decent person who had an enormous impact on our cultural life, including the world of pop music. He was quite exceptional, yet he was a local Leeds lad and always insisted on that.” uPSD can trace no outcome of Cllr Atha’s enquiries into the paedophile ring and neither have West Yorkshire Police. It is also worth noting that Cllr Les Carter, also of Leeds and a 40 year colleague of Mr Atha, was Vice Chair, and then Chair, of a West Yorkshire Police Authority that was in total denial about police paedophilia within its ranks. Cllr Carter was also the Chair of the Safer Leeds Board that engaged Savile to promote the Talking Signs campaign referred to above.
The Yorkshire Post made one thing clear, when Dr. Wynne died a few years ago. She was an expert:
THE paediatrician Jane Wynne, who has died aged 64, was an internationally known authority on child abuse, working in Leeds with her contemporary Christopher Hobbs. The lives of both were for a time blighted by the notorious Cleveland child abuse scandal of 1987, but it was perceptions of guilt by association rather than any direct involvement of theirs which accounted for it.
Jane became a council member of the NSPCC and joined its Board of Trustees; she also worked in the British Association for the Study and Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. With others, she and Christopher Hobbs were instrumental in establishing the Child Protection Special Interest Group and the British Association for Community Child Health. The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health eventually accepted that dealing with child abuse was a matter for all paediatricians, who needed to be aware of correct management and practice. For her work with abused children, in 1994 Jane received an honorary doctorate from Leeds Metropolitan University and in 2003 she was made an honorary trustee
So Jimmy Savile would have known these doctors, Hobbs and Wynne who trained Dr Marietta Higgs – all involved in the Cleveland case via Leeds General Infirmary
Wynne, Leeds pioneer in the field of child abuse….
THE paediatrician Jane Wynne, who has died aged 64, was an internationally known authority on child abuse, working in Leeds with her contemporary Christopher Hobbs. The lives of both were for a time blighted by the notorious Cleveland child abuse scandal of 1987, but it was perceptions of guilt by association rather than any direct involvement of theirs which accounted for it. The Cleveland case centred on a paediatrician who diagnosed 121 cases of suspected child abuse on Teesside. Eventually 96 of them were dismissed by the courts. The affair resulted in a public inquiry conducted by Dame Elizabeth Butler-Sloss which found Jane and Christopher Hobbs blameless.
After marrying Dr Simon Currie in 1976, she moved back to Leeds as lecturer in the university’s department of paediatrics. There she ran clinics for handicapped children and joined Michael Buchanan, senior lecturer, in the field of child abuse in which he had been a pioneer.
Professor Alistair Hall, senior consultant cardiologist at Leeds General Infirmary and St James’s Hospital, said: “I am 100 per cent in agreement that the wonderful Sir Jimmy should be made Freeman of the City.
“Despite his fame he still volunteers at the hospital and the list of good work and fundraising he has done is too long to list. “He has supported a lot of cardiology research and helped with The Family Heart Study and toured on the big red bus across the UK. He has helped us to fundraise to buy a special scanner and only recently donated a large amount of money to fund scholarships for junior doctors.” The senior cardiologist, who carried out Sir Jimmy’s quadruple heart bypass operation a decade ago, said the broadcaster and sportsman was an amazing person who fully deserved to be honoured publicall
The Butler-Sloss inquiry into the Cleveland case heard evidence from an American ‘child abuse expert’ called Ralph Underwager. He spoke out on behalf of the ‘falsely accused’ parents and many of his recommendations made their way into the Butler-Sloss report. The Butler-Sloss report, as Frank Cook pointed out, went on to influence both Children’s Act and also the subsequent handling of countless child abuse inquiries.
A few years later, Ralph Underwager was exposed by an interview he gave to a European paedophile magazine called Paidika, in which he said child sexual abuse was “God’s Will”.
Here are some extracts from the interview, which can be found here:
Underwager: Paedophiles can boldly and courageously affirm what they choose. They can say that what they want is to find the best way to love….Paedophiles can make the assertion that the pursuit of intimacy and love is what they choose. With boldness they can say, “I believe this is in fact part of God’s will

Cleveland Area
Cleveland: Unspeakable Truths
The headline summed it up: “Is this the film that should never have been made ?”.
Just as telling was that the article under it – in the TV Times – was the only national press coverage of the film. Ten years after the Cleveland Child Abuse Crisis not a single newspaper reported on a documentary which told – for the first time – the truth about what had happened to the children at the heart of a “scandal” which had gripped and divided the entire country. Not for nothing was the film called “Cleveland: Unspeakable Truths”.
For those too young to recall it – and for those who still do – it’s worth recalling the events as they unfolded.
In the spring of 1987, 121 children from the (then) county of Cleveland – an area of some 583 square km and including the economically depressed towns of Hartlepool, Redcar and Middlesbrough – were taken into temporary local authority care on suspicion of having been sexually abused. Many – in fact the majority – of the children were very young: most were pre-pubescent and in some cases so young (or developmentally delayed) as to be pre-verbal.
This was not just the biggest sexual abuse case Britain had then encountered but the very first involving multiple victims and multiple perpetrators. Others – Rochdale, Orkney, Broxtowe – would follow on in quick succession, but Cleveland was the first and it set the template.
Newspaper coverage that spring led readers to believe that the children had been “snatched” from their parents as the result of a new and untested physical diagnosis – Reflex Anal Dilatation. The press – led by the Daily Mail – reported that two paediatricians, Dr Marietta Higgs and Dr Geoffrey Wyatt, who had recently arrived at Middlesbrough General Hospital had begun using RAD to diagnose sexual abuse on children who had been brought to the hospital for petty and unrelated problems – “a child with a sore finger” became the familiar trope of these stories.
Worse, or so the papers claimed, RAD involved looking up inside children’s bottoms and was a new and “experimental” technique. Cleveland’s senior police surgeon – a local GP called Alistair Irvine, made a series of statements to the media in which he damned both RAD and Drs Higgs and Wyatt. He was backed by local MP Stuart Bell who gave a succession of highly inflammatory interviews to local television stations.
The media response was swift and overwhelming. Reporters from national newspapers, radio and television descended on Middlesbrough. The Daily Mail alone sent seven. And what were these journalists looking for ? One thing and one thing only – “innocent parents” wrongly parted from their children. And these parents – aided by Stuart Bell who had become their self-appointed champion – quickly told (and frequently sold) their stories. In a matter of weeks Cleveland went from being a small local story to a national “scandal”. All the papers and broadcasters repeated the parents claims and Stuart Bell’s allegations, and viciously attacked the paediatricians. They, along with Cleveland Council’s most senior child abuse advisor Sue Richardson, were ordered by their employers not to give any interviews or make any comment to the media.
The Tory government set up a judicial enquiry under Lord Justice (Elizabeth) Butler Sloss. The enquiry sat for a year, heard evidence from parents, social services, police, doctors, nurses and – without any apparent unease – from a champion of paedophile rights, Ralph Underwager. It cost £5 million.
But there was one very odd aspect to the enquiry. Its remit from Whitehall prohibited it from asking – let alone answering – the most important question of all: how many of the 121 children at the centre of the crisis had been abused ?
By the time the enquiry report was close to publication I had made a high-profile documentary (and written a book) about child pornography. I approached Marietta Higgs to ask if she would, on the day of publication, be interviewed by me for ITN News. After a week of negotiation it was agreed that she would do one television interview (with me), one radio interview for Woman’s Hour and speak to one newspaper (The Guardian).
I was freelance and arranged to do the interview at the studios of Tyne Tees, ITV’s franchise in the north-east. It would be quicker to feed the piece down to ITN from Newcastle than to film it and bike the tape down to London.
I read the Butler Sloss report from cover to cover. I was – given the prevailing public story – surprised to see that it did not suggest anywhere that Drs Higgs and Wyatt had wrongly diagnosed the 121 children, nor that RAD had been the sole medical evidence in most cases. The report also made clear that no child was recorded as a suspected victim of sexual abuse on medical evidence alone: Butler-Sloss had heard a wealth of testimony from social services indicating that in the vast majority of cases, there were serious concerns about the children’s welfare long before they were seen at Middlesbrough General Hospital.
The report did criticise the doctors for the problems their diagnoses caused at the hospital which had been overwhelmed. It placed restrictions on them working on child abuse cases. But it reserved its most serious and stinging criticism for Stuart Bell MP, who it found had made false ad inflammatory statements about the parents, the children and the doctors – and refused to correct them even when presented with the evidence. It also strongly criticised Alastair Irvine, the police surgeon who had been instrumental in sparking the crisis.
The headlines that afternoon (and the next morning) were extraordinary: they bore no resemblance to the findings of the report. “Sack Her” [Marietta Higgs] was one of the more moderate. I interviewed Dr Higgs – calmly and politely for half an hour. I put to her all the criticism in the report and the complaints made by the parents. She answered honestly and frankly.
While the tape was being fed to London, I was approached by Tyne Tees news journalists and by the news anchor. The former screamed at me that I had “let Higgs off the hook”; the anchor threatened to beat me up. ITN ran the interview that evening.
Eight years later I was working at Yorkshire Television’s documentaries department – the best place in the world to make serious and important films. I had produced one such film two years earlier about a major child sexual abuse network in the United States [Conspiracy of Silence – there are references on this site to this] which had been pulled by its funder, The Discovery Channel. Perhaps that should have warned me.
I happened to meet Sue Richardson at a child abuse conference during the summer of 1996. In passing she mentioned that she was very concerned about what had happened to the Cleveland children. For the next six months I quietly spoke to as many people involved in the crisis as I could. A picture quickly emerged: many – probably most – of the 121 children had been returned to their parents, even where there was clear evidence of sexual abuse. In an alarming number of cases there was a convicted sex offender living in the house – one of the trigger factors for Sue Richardson’s initial concerns. The court system had broken down under the weight of hostile news reporting: one judge refused to allow evidence “relating to children’s bottoms” in his court room. Children had been sent back to parents about whom there was a lengthy history of concern. And then there was RAD itself.
It turned out that this was not some new and experimental technique, as alleged by the police surgeon and Stuart Bell, but was more than 100 years old and was formally included in the Association of Police Surgeons’ own manual as a diagnostic tool raising suspicions of sexual abuse and requiring further enquiries if it was observed.
Late in 1997, with the wholehearted agreement of Yorkshire Television’s Head of Documentaries, I pitched the idea for a documentary about Cleveland to Channel 4. It agreed to commission the film and we went into production: Channel 4 was to pay to Yorkshire TV the sum of £150,00 to produce it and a first instalment was transferred to the company’s coffers.
My colleagues and I spent nearly three months researching and investigating. We met and informally interviewed everyone who would speak to us. Stuart Bell MP and Alastair Irvine refused point blank.
We also advertised for parents who had been caught up in the crisis. Only two came forward: a mother whose children had been sexually abused by their father (he was convicted of the abuse) and ho had tried – in vain – to get her story heard by reporters back in 1987, and a couple whose children had been among the first to be taken into care. We were also contacted by a young woman from the area who had been sexually abused by her father at the time but who was not part of the 121 taken into care.
At some point a large brown parcel arrived for us at Yorkshire TV’s studios. Anonymously-sent, it contained all the social service evidence relating to the 121 children which had been presented in camera to Butler-Sloss. This posed a dilemma: although the children’s identities had been hidden by code letters in these documents, simply by receiving them – let alone broadcasting their contents -we were committing a serious offence. Yet the evidence in the documents clearly answered the question Butler-Sloss had been forced to duck: had these children been abused ? The papers showed that the children had long histories of involvement with social services and painstakingly documented injuries. In many cases a convicted paedophile was living in their houses, and many had made very convincing disclosures of sexual activity with adults. In the end, and with Yorkshire TV’s backing, we decided they were too important to throw away.
We drove to Northallerton on a Wednesday evening, ready to begin filming the following day. At 6pm I was phoned by Yorkshire Television’s Head of Documentaries: the company’s Director of Programmes – essentially his direct boss – had issued an instruction that we were to abandon all filming and that I was to tell Channel 4 that Yorkshire TV would not make the documentary. It turned out that Stuart Bell MP had leaned on the Director of Programmes. It was a surreal – and deeply disturbing – moment. When I spoke to Channel 4 its commissioning editor couldn’t believe his ears.
Happily, Chanel 4 was then a far more serious broadcaster than it is now. Within days it had brokered a deal whereby my own production company would make the film; I would take leave of absence from Yorkshire TV to do so, and – under pain of having its lucrative daytime Countdown quiz-programme terminated by Channel 4 – Yorkshire TV would then take me back on a longer contract. The row even made the front page of the industry’s trade magazine.
But our troubles were nothing compared to those of Drs Higgs and Wyatt or Sue Richardson. The health authorities for whom the paediatricians worked refused them permission to be interviewed, and Sue Richardson was informed by her then employer – a child welfare charity – that if she appeared in it she would be dismissed. She resigned instead – and her interview was vital in conveying the truth about Cleveland.
Two telling sections of the film summed up the entire crisis. The first was a section which showed file footage of one of the Cleveland parents making an emotional appeal on a breakfast television programme: in it – and egged on by host Anne Diamond – he said he had never abused his children and demanded they be allowed home. Yet the truth was that he had been convicted of buggering his children – sometimes in front of his wife: apparently that truth was ignored by Ms Diamond and her team.
The second was the discovery that in the wake of the Butler-Sloss enquiry, the Department of Health ordered all records of all the children as a group to be destroyed. When we asked for an explanation, the Department refused to comment.
Just what was Cleveland really about ? For me it was clear: it was about the plight of children – some just toddlers – who were abused and – briefly – rescued; then re-abused by a child protection system which could not bear the pressure from politicians and press. The truth of what happened to those children was too difficult to hear. Which is why we called the film Cleveland: Unspeakable Truths.
by Tim Tate – Producer/Director of Cleveland: Unspeakable Truths
A SENIOR staff member sacked from a Roman Catholic children’s home for sexually abusing boys went on to become a priest in the same diocese
Father Joseph O’Brien, who served as a priest in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, for 15 years, had previously been dismissed for abusing a number of boys at the St William’s children’s home in Market Weighton, East Yorkshire.
The case casts another shadow over the Roman Catholic Church, which has been the subject of a series of accusations that it harboured priests who abused children.
It also poses questions for Humberside Police, which was made aware of Father O’Brien’s actions but did not interview or arrest him when his history was flagged up in a formal witness statement in 2002. Father O’Brien died in January last year.
He was sacked from his position as deputy principal at St William’s in 1965 and escorted from the building. At that time, Father O’Brien was a member of the De La Salle Brotherhood, a Catholic lay order which ran the home, and was known as Brother Ambrose O’Brien.
The dismissal was formally reported to the board of managers at the home, which was part of the Middlesbrough Diocese.
But in 1972, while still a member of the De La Salle Brotherhood, he asked the then Bishop of Middlesbrough, the late Bishop John McClean, if he could train to become a priest.
The diocese has told the Yorkshire Post that the bishop sought a reference from De La Salle but was not told why Father O’Brien had been sacked from St William’s.
De La Salle has confirmed it did not in its reference say why the then Brother Ambrose O’Brien was sacked. But the brotherhood also pointed out the diocese held recorded evidence of the dismissal.
He was consequently able to train at Ushaw College in Durham and was ordained in 1975.
Father O’Brien went on to serve at churches in Middlesbrough before moving to North Yorkshire, and had a 15-year spell at All Saints in Thirsk, from where he retired in 1998.
When he died last year, aged 87, the diocese held a funeral Mass attended by the current bishop – Bishop Terry Drainey – and 20 other priests.
The diocese published details of the Mass on its website, including the homily, but there was no reference to Father O’Brien’s dismissal from St William’s.
The Yorkshire Post can also reveal that Humberside Police, which has previously been censured by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) over failings in its investigation into St William’s, was told about Father O’Brien’s sacking, along with suggestions that he might have gone on to abuse other children while a priest.
A witness statement provided on January 23, 2002 by Noel Hartnett, who was himself the subject of investigation but cleared of any wrongdoing, directly identified Father O’Brien as a perpetrator. Mr Hartnett, a former Brother at the home, informed two detectives why Father O’Brien was sacked and told them that he himself was present when the home’s principal carried out the dismissal.
He also told them a priest in the diocese had approached him during the early 1990s for information on Father O’Brien because the priest had heard of allegations of more recent abuse. Mr Hartnett told police the priest said he was compiling a dossier to send to the bishop.
The priest, who has since retired and is into his 80s, denied the existence of any dossier
“The News of the World carried an article about Butler-Sloss’s husband.
Under the front-page headlines “Cleveland Judge Sex Scandal” and “Dame’s randy spouse frolics with vice girls” was an article reporting that he was a judge in Kenya and was ‘associating’ with prostitutes.”
Scotland Yard denied the allegations made by the Daily Express that the guest house’s visitor list included three MPs and a member of Buckingham Palace staff. A spokesman for Elm Guest House told Capital Gay “these were professional business people. We are talking about barristers, doctors, a couple of priests and a vicar”.
We now know that these “professional people” were almost certainly all child abusers. One of the barristers who visited Elm Guest House was Colin Peters QC, who was later jailed for his part in “Britain’s biggest child sex ring” which had over 150 victims. One of the priests who visited the guest house was Father Tony McSweeney, who was arrested by Operation Fernbridge in January.
It’s clear that Scotland Yard, Sir Michael Havers, and the Elm Guest House lawyers were all following the same script. It’s easy to blame the press for their part in the cover-up, but they were up against the most senior police and law officers in the country.
The most striking thing about the article is the strenuous denial of any link to the murder/disappearance of Vishal Mehrotra and Martin Allen, both of whom disappeared not far from Rocks Lane bewtween 1979 and 1981. Vishal Mehrotra went missing on the night of the Royal Wedding in 1981, when the Elm Guest House paedophiles were having a ‘Kings and Queens party’.
Scotland Yard had earlier confirmed to the Express that they were investigating connections between the missing boys and Elm Guest House. “Scotland Yard is expected to reopen files on the murder of one boy and he disappearance of another in their investigation into a VIP homosexual vice network in London.” Full article
Just a couple of months later these connections were “absolute rubbish”…
Murder link to Margaret Thatcher aide accused of raping teenage boy
Exclusive: Police are examining whether Sir Peter Morrison could have been linked to the mysterious death of young Vishal Mehrotra in 1981
Sir Peter Morrison, the former deputy chairman of the Conservative Party who died in 1995, was a known child molester but was never charged with any crime during his lifetime.
Now police are examining whether the MP for Chester could have had any link to the unsolved murder of eight-year-old Vishal Mehrotra in 1981.
Four months after Vishal’s remains were found, police raided the Elm Guest House and questioned dozens of men, reportedly including at least 30 prominent public figures and businessmen.
Mehrotra said: “This guesthouse was right next to where Vishal disappeared. There were predatory people there who were taking young boys and abusing them. It seems to me that it all adds up, so I can’t understand why the police have again failed to get in contact with me. I think the revelations of [Jimmy] Savile and others in recent months have opened up a Pandora’s box.

Baroness Sloss was appointed to Cleveland abuse inquiry by brother Michael Havers
The retired judge leading the Westminster abuse probe has revealed she was appointed to run a previous sex abuse inquiry by her late brother, Lord Havers, when he was Lord Chancellor.
Baroness Butler-Sloss has been under scrutiny over her suitability to investigate claims of a child-sex ring at Westminster because of a potential conflict of interest over her Establishment connections.
Yesterday, it was claimed she had kept allegations about a bishop out of a report on a paedophile scandal because she “cared about the church”.
Now, she faces fresh criticism over her admission of the key role of Lord Havers in the Cleveland child sex abuse inquiry in 1987 which she led.
Asked who instigated the Cleveland inquiry in 2003 Lady Butler-Sloss replied: “I think it was my brother actually as Lord Chancellor.”
Tory child abuse whistleblower: ‘Margaret Thatcher knew all about underage sex ring among ministers’
Former activist Anthony Gilberthorpe says he sent Thatcher a 40-page dossier in 1989 accusing Cabinet members of abusing underage boys
Anthony Gilberthorpe says he sent her a 40-page dossier in 1989 accusing Cabinet members of abusing underage boys at drug-fuelled conference parties.
Mr Gilberthorpe, who claims he was ordered to recruit boys for the ministers, says he posted the “graphic” allegations to Mrs Thatcher after befriending her.
Mr Gilberthorpe, who was a young Tory hopeful when he was asked to recruit for the parties, said: “I outlined exactly what I had witnessed and informed her I intended to expose it.
“I had met Mrs Thatcher on several occasions and even presented her with a birthday cake in 1983. I believed she had to know.”
He said that being overlooked for the safe Tory seat of Gloucester in April 1986 made up his mind to shop the ministers. “I believe I was stitched up and it gave me an insight into the treacherous nature of the party,” he added.
“It was one of the reasons I decided reveal what I’d witnessed. I made it very clear to Mrs Thatcher most trusted ministers had been at these parties with boys who were between 15 and 16.
“I also told her of the amount of illegal drugs like cocaine that were consumed.
“I underlined the names of Keith Joseph, Rhodes Boyson and one MP still serving today. I also said I had seen Michael Havers at a party in Blackpool held at the hotel pool in 1983.”
Former Attorney General Sir Michael Havers is today accused of passing on state secrets to a rent boy in the aftermath of a sordid sex party in Westminster.
The need for an inquiry was taken up in the House of Commons by Yorkshire MPs, who also attacked the Attorney-General, Sir Michael Havers, for his role in the prosecution.Sir Michael opened the 15-day trial by telling the judge, Sir Justice Boreham, he did not believe that Sutcliffe was guilty of murder. He told the judge he accepted the view of doctors who diagnosed Sutcliffe as a schizophrenic.

The name “Stuart Bell” appears on the Elm House documents, though it is not clear if it refers to the late MP for Middlesbrough.
He chose to resign his post after the Cleveland child abuse scandal which occupied two years of his life, after making unsubstantiated accusations of ‘clinical error’ against local paediatricians and child sexual abuse specialists.
He then played a pivotal role in the passage of the Children Act which, he said, replaced “confusing, unfair” laws. Sir Stuart helped draft the new law and was instrumental in its passage.
he was appointed Second Church Estates Commissioner to handle relations between church and state.
Neil Kinnock brought Bell on to the front bench as a Northern Ireland spokesman.
By his mid-30s miner’s son Stuart Bell, , was a millionaire international lawyer and a Name at Lloyd’s with homes and offices in Paris and London, and had written his first novel. The book was a raunchy semi-autobiographical story of little literary merit…
Intent on becoming “a writer” he relocated to Paris, where he worked as a clerk in a law firm among whose clients was the European office of Walt Disney.
With such a prestigious client he quickly found others, including Hewlett Packard and General Motors, and started to specialise in the lucrative area of European trade and international tariffs. His success was speedy and he expanded to offices in the exclusive Avenue Montaigne, premises that had been the wartime headquarters of American Forces (complete with an “Oval Office”).
Although he had borrowed a house in the constituency from his Daily Mirror friend while contesting Hexham, and as a city councillor in Newcastle upon Tyne (1981-83), his jet-setting pursuit of politics soon started to eat into his fortune. First he had to sacrifice his magnificent country home (swimming pool, tennis court) in Chantilly, outside Paris, then his young mistress, and finally his senior partnership in a firm that employed more than a dozen lawyers, and along with it his apartment (Eiffel Tower view) in Avenue Montaigne. Until his election, when he became entitled to an MP’s salary of £15,308, he was reduced to seeking work as a barrister on the Northern Circuit.
Malcolm Bell, son of Middlesbrough MP Stuart Bell, stole blank cheques from the office of George Galloway MP while working for his father as a House of Commons researcher.
Wilf Proudfoot was Member of Parliament for Cleveland, his secretary, Christine Holman (the future Christine Hamilton)
Radio 270 was also attacked in Parliament. Mr Proudfoot had previously been a Conservative MP and, as someone with an interest in politics, offered late night airtime on his station to various politicians. Harvey Proctor, a student at the University of York and Chairman of the University Conservative Association, was invited to produce a number of half-hour political programmes for Radio 270. Right-wing Tory MP Patrick Wall took part in one show during which he spoke in favour of recognising the illegal Smith regime in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Government MPs were incensed but Mr Proudfoot defended his actions by saying that Labour representatives had been offered equal time, but had turned it down. The political broadcasts continued. Harvey Proctor later became an MP himself, representing Basildon from 1979 to 1983 and Billericay from 1983 to 1987, before a sex scandal ended his Parliamentary career.
Heath’s autobio covers the fact that he used Young Conservatives for ‘information gathering and propoganda’ assistance.
Radio 270’s office was run by Maggie Lucas (now Maggie White) and, DJ Noel Miller’s then wife, Carole. Maggie casts her mind back:
Maggie Lucas.
“I had previously worked for (Managing Director) Wilf Proudfoot when he was Member of Parliament for Cleveland and this was how I came to work for 270 some months after it went to air. In the interest of economy the office had moved into the large family room at the Proudfoots’ Scarborough home, adjacent to the purpose-built offices of the Proudfoot Supermarkets.
Savile and Cleveland – Saltburn
Saltburn fixed it for Jimmy.
Sir Jimmy replied and said: “Saltburn, Teddy’s Nook and the Kellys was my first taste of the grand life. Such space inside and out, such views.
The Cottage, Teddys Nook, Marine Parade, Saltburn-by-the-sea, Cleveland
It was JS’ cousins (the Kelly family) who rented ‘The Cottage’ in Saltburn – and he was a frequent visitor apparently. It is actually a mini-mansion in spite of its modest name. The Cottage is nick-named ‘Teddy Nook’ because in the 1870s Lillie Langtry entertained the future Edward VII there.
Lillie Langtry allegedly bore him an illegitimate daughter, Jeanne Marie
In June 1880, she became pregnant. Her husband was not the father; she led Prince Louis to believe that he was.
Prince Louis’ son, Earl Mountbatten of Burma, had always maintained that his father was the father of Jeanne Marie.[23]
Langtry’s father was Rector and Dean of Jersey he nevertheless earned an unsavoury reputation as a ‘ladies man’ fathering illegitimate children by various of his parishioners
AMONG the women who were to succeed Lillie as the antidote to Bertie’s boredom was the voluptuous Mrs Alice Keppel, daughter of a baronet, whose husband’s forbearance was rewarded by membership of the Royal Victorian Order.
Our own Prince of Wales, Bertie’s great-great grandson, is not a serial philanderer – for would not the tabloids tell us? – but it is a neat symmetry that Mrs Camilla Parker Bowles, cited by Princess Diana as the third person in her unhappy marriage, should be Alice Keppel’s great-granddaughter
Sir Jimmy Savile, who died in October aged 84, had a strong link to Saltburn, in particular to the large villa overlooking the pier known as Teddy’s Nook. He praised his friendship with the family who owned the house to his success in his career. It was owned in the 1930s by Bill Kelly, of Middlesbrough stockbrokers Stancliffe’s, and his wife was Jimmy’s aunt Meg. Jimmy, who then lived in a workaday part of Leeds, used to visit Teddy’s Nook and enjoyed holidays with his cousins, as the Kelly’s had a large family. Mike Morrissey, of Saltburn, discovered the link when Jimmy replied to a letter he wrote to him via St James’s Hospital, Leeds, where Jimmy worked as a volunteer. “Saltburn, Teddy’s Nook and the Kelly’s was my first taste of the grand life. Such space, inside and out, such views,” wrote the larger-than-life celebrity, charity fund-raiser, and marathon runner. “Auntie Meg was my mother’s sister. By a fluke she married someone called Kelly, the same as her maiden name. “Coming from a low-income family (in those days were were called `poor’) the Kelly household had a great effect on me. “One of my first pre-teen feelings was `If it’s possible for them, surely it must be possible for me.’ “And so it proved, but my bit of success would have been impossible had I not seen it at Saltburn first. All my cousins were quite super and all in all it was a magic experience in a magic place.” The PS to his letter was: “I often sneak into town disguised as Robert de Niro.” Mike wrote to Sir Jimmy because he was researching Teddy’s Nook for a talk he gave to Saltburn and District Retired Men’s Forum in about 1995. “I’ve always felt his memory of the Kelly family and its effect on his career was remarkable,” said Mike. “His letter was written on the other side of my note to him. He signed it with a smily face in the loop of the “J” in his signature. Great!”
Teddy’s Nook – It was also the family home of Audrey Collins MBE, who served as Mayor of Saltburn and chair of the South Tees Health Authority. Middlesbrough’s James Cook University Hospital has named a teaching unit in her honour.
The parents generally praised the South Tees Health Authority
Audrey Collins pg 56 –
She was a keen supporter of Leon Brittan…”a wonderful MP for Saltburn”
Cleveland police refused to investigate signs of anal abuse and publicly condemned doctors and social services for intervening. The Government (Butler Sloss’ brother Michael Havers) called in a judge, Elizabeth Butler-Sloss, to sort it out.
Contrary to myth, her report did not dispute doctors’ clinical findings of anal abuse.
In Cumbria, as in Cleveland, the police not only did nothing, they did it with determination – they ignored the abuse alarm raised by the forensic pathologist and resisted a mandatory Serious Case Review.
REPORT by Barbara Hewson : Campaigning organisation FACT (Falsely Accused Carers and Teachers)’s Spring Conference on Wrongful Accusations of Abuse was held on May 30th, under the aegis of Cardiff Law School.
The day concluded with a panel discussion and Q & A involving me, the criminal barrister and blogger Matthew Scott (here), Dr Mark Smith of Edinburgh University, former Duncroft resident Susanne Cameron-Blackie (who blogs as ‘Anna Raccoon’), and leading criminal defence solicitor, Chris Saltrese. The subject was how to reduce false allegations.
Only just seeing this today ! Good reporting Barbara (Hewson) especially the stories about Police ‘trawling’ for ‘victims’, appalling. My only gripe would be that neither Mark Smith or ‘Anna Raccoon’ appear to have mentioned the University research project relating to the Savile claims.Much talkof ‘post Savile’ but, he, or rather, his loved ones, have had to endure three years of, what many now believe are ‘false’ claims repeated in the media on an almost daily beside.
Several bloggers including myself have been investigating the Savile claims for more than two years. A fact noted here –
‘So began a three year unofficial investigation into the Duncroft allegations that had sparked the 2012 nationwide Savile Scandal.
Cameron-Blackie collated further information gathered by three other blogging investigators known as Moor Larkin, Rabbitaway and The Rockphiles.’
Here’s the link the more folk know the better. Shame no-one bothered to mention it on the day !
Mister Hardcastle, it transpires, is quite a fan of Anna Racoon aka Susanne Nundy, who has been described on various internet forums as an MI5 disinformation agent. He gives her a hearty recommendation on his website.
Apparently convicted paedophile Jonathan King is also a fan of Mister Hardcastle’s articles and has brought them to the attention of Alan Rusbridger, editor-in-chief of The Guardian :-
Social work professor denies he is an ‘apologist for child abusers
A PROFESSOR of social work who previously ran secure units for children in Edinburgh where youngsters were sexually abused has claimed the evidence against child abusers can be “flimsy” and he hasn’t come across a case yet where he has been convinced of guilt.
Mark Smith also admitted that when he heard the details of some charges he has thought, “I’ve done that”. The University of Dundee academic previously managed council care homes for traumatised young girls in Edinburgh, including St Katharine’s home.
One former carer at St Katharine’s, Gordon Collins, took advantage of his position of trust to groom, molest and rape teenagers between 1995 and 2006 at the home. He was jailed last year for the historical abuse of four girls. Another man, Kevin Glancy, was jailed in 2008 for possessing 239 pictures and 70 video clips of child abuse.
Smith wrote an article entitled “Criminalising everyday care” for a legal news website about miscarriages of justice.
One campaign group which supports survivors of abuse has described Smith as “an apologist for child abusers”. Smith’s former employer, City of Edinburgh Council, distanced themselves from Smith and insisted all convictions against its former employees are “safe”.
Smith has defended his article, claiming he has not tried to deny “genuine abuses”. His current employer, the University of Dundee, also defended the academic’s right to “freedom of speech”.
Smith said in his article he had “come uncomfortably close to cases of historical abuse over the past dozen or so years” and had given evidence to both prosecution and defence and been a witness in cases where he has “worked directly with the accused”.
He wrote: “I have not come across a case yet where I have been convinced of guilt. In fact I have been horrified by the flimsiness, indeed the banality, of the evidence that finds its way to court. Not only that, I found myself thinking on hearing of some charges: “I’ve done that”.
Smith, who participated in a Scottish Government review of secure accommodation for young people in 2005, goes on to say the prosecution of historical child abuse cases “owes very little to evidence of actual abuse but is driven by shifting attitudes and assumptions about how to care for children”.
Citing the case of a former colleague who was convicted of abusing boys at a residential school where they both worked in the 1980s – and who Smith said was wrongfully convicted – Smith said when staff showered with young boys “cold water may have been thrown about – bodies flicked with rolled-up towels” and insisted “all of this was done in fun – I don’t believe for a minute that any boy was traumatised”.
Smith said it’s not only “the odd bad apple” who may face prosecution, adding that he fears every carer who worked in a residential setting “risks becoming caught in the cross hairs” of the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry.
Abuse survivor David Whelan, of campaign group Former Boys and Girls Abused (FBGA), was targeted by paedophile John Porteous who was jailed in 2002 for historical sex offences against boys. He said: “Mark Smith fails to recognise that many people were actually convicted of crimes in a court of law. His article is an attempt to discredit genuine victims. I would go as far as to say he’s an apologist for child abusers.
“He’s excusing behaviour that wasn’t normal, such as carers showering with children. When adults did do this they had a propensity to abuse children. In my own case my abuser John Porteous used to shower with the boys. Mark Smith seems to suggest this wasn’t a sexually-motivated act.”
Janine Rennie of Wellbeing Scotland, an organisation that supports survivors of abuse, said she was “extremely angry” by Smith’s claim that he is unconvinced of the guilt of convicted child abusers.
She said: “Of 1,500 case files we have there’s not one we’d assess in the same way he has. I am concerned that this social work lecturer doesn’t see the significance of child abuse or understand how difficult it is for survivors to talk about their experiences. It takes a huge amount of courage for a survivor to come forward, so these entirely inappropriate views are very dangerous and could discourage people from speaking to the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry or indeed the police.”
Abuse survivor Dave Sharp, founder of SAFE (Seek and Find Everyone Abused in Childhood) was beaten and raped by a Christian Brother in a shower room at St Ninian’s school in Fife. He said: “People who make these kinds of comments which play down abuse must be scrutinised.”
A senior source at City of Edinburgh Council said the local authority does not share Smith’s views and they have “no doubt about the safety of convictions” of former residential care staff.
A spokesman for the council added: “The views expressed in no way represent the views of the council and we would refute them. We are co-operating fully with the current Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry. We work closely with Police Scotland and our partner agencies to investigate any allegations of abuse, whether current or historical.”
A spokesman for the University of Dundee said: “One of the core principles of academic freedom is freedom of speech and we support that for all of our academics.”
Smith told the Sunday Herald: “The question I have addressed in my article, which was first published more than four months ago, is one that is of considerable debate – whether the application of modern standards to behaviour that occurred decades ago and in a time of different cultural norms means people are at risk of being unfairly prosecuted or demonised.
“In doing this I have not made reference to specific cases. What I have said is descriptive of practices at the time, which were commonplace and open.
“This is not an attempt in any way to deny genuine abuses that took place or make apologies for truly awful behaviour.
“Of course we do not want to discourage victims of abuse to come forward.
“But we also have to be extremely careful we are not making abusers of people who took part in innocent practices, which is the essence of my article.
“I would stress that I speak on the basis of decades of experience in the area of residential care and claims of abuse.”
Comments:
Sack him and keep him away from children for the rest of his life.
I have worked in child protection cases for a quarter of a century and this man appalls. Whoever has the power to do so please protect children from this loathsome apologist for abusers.
Here’s a convicted paedophile (Jonathan King) praising research by the Jimmy-Savile-Is-A-Saint brigade trying to whitewash a paedophile who snuffed it before he could be convicted:
Securing a data set on allegations of sexual abuse made against former disc jockey, Jimmy Savile
Dr Mark Smith, Dr Steve Kirkwood and Dr Ros Burnett, The University of Oxford
This project, awarded under an ESRC call for ‘Urgent’ research, aims to secure data that might otherwise be lost, relating to allegations made against the former DJ, Jimmy Savile. The initiative for the project came from a lawyer and writer who is a former resident of Duncroft School (from whence the initial allegations against Savile emanate), and whose blogging activity under the name of ‘Anna Raccoon’ has generated a substantial body of related correspondence and contacts which provide and could lead to information not yet in the public domain. We aim to collate and archive Anna Raccoon’s blog posts, comments on these and to interview key staff and former residents from Duncroft School. The data gathered will be digitally archived and made available to other researchers. It is likely to be of interest to social and cultural historians, criminologists, lawyers and social workers amongst others.
The research team consists of Mark Smith and Steve Kirkwood from Social Work, Clare Llewellyn from Informatics and Ros Burnett, a criminologist from the University of Oxford.
Alan Rusbridger & convicted paedophile Tom O’Carroll
2013
Below is a comment left on this blog by the source of Tom Watson’s PMQ about “a powerful political paedophile ring”. It raises many questions about why The Guardian are still not covering the national scandal of children procured from care homes being abused by rich and poweful paedophiles, while at the same time giving a platform to paedophile activist Tom O’Carroll. When reading this bear in mind that Tom O’Carroll has a conviction for possession of a collection of 50,000 images and films of children as young as 6 being raped and tortured. This was not mentioned in The Guardian’s coverage.
I feel obliged to share with you my correspondence with Alan Rusbridger on the matter and let your followers come to their own conclusions
I wrote to the Editor of the Guardian, Alan Rusbridger, the following :-
I was a Guardian reader for over 40 years until you made the decision to publish an article described by Tom O’Carroll on his website as ” the first I have ever seen in a mainstream media outlet giving significant coverage to research suggesting that paedophilia is not intrinsically harmful.That was superb, confirming my long held view that Alan Rusbridger is the best ever editor of the world’s greatest English – language newspaper. ”
O’Carroll goes in to great detail on his website about the actual process by which you and Jon Henley made contact with him – what a disgrace you are, allowing this man to view it as a great triumph for him because that is exactly how I viewed it despite your pathetic attempt to justify publishing the article and Henley’s response to Tom Watson MP. ( see Tom Watson’s blog )
Tom O’Carroll is a clever but very dangerous and evil man.
I am as qualified as anyone after 37 years working in child protection and specialising for many years in the investigation of child sexual abuse and the investigation of highly organised rings to know the full extent of the harm done to children and young people by predatory paedophiles like O’Carroll
I am the person who contacted Tom Watson which led to his PMQ on October 24th last year. Before Christmas I agreed to be interviewed by one of your most senior journalists – that now feels like a big mistake given your coverage of O’Carroll’s views and what came across to me as an attempt to find positives in what is one of the most heinious crimes in any society.
( I provided the Guardian with all the information I passed to Tom Watson but not one word of it has appeared in print by them to date )
You should be heading a campaign to close down sites like O’Carroll’s and I strongly believe he should be arrested for the content alone. The almost total lack of coverage by the British media of the events leading up to the setting up of Operation Fernbridge, despite the availability of numerous potential stories that are not sub judice linked to high level historic abuse, is exceptionally worrying.
Paedophiles like Savile, Peter Morrison, Cyril Smith, Sir Peter Hayman were so confident of establishment support they didn’t need to operate in secret they could be as indiscreet as they wished knowing that even if they came to the attention of the Police nothing would come of it and the full weight of the Attorney General and The Director of Public Prosecutions and their underlings would be brought in to play ” in the public interest ”
In what way was ” our ” collective national security protected by the security services when they covered up Cyril Smith’s systematic abuse of children ? ”
The vast majority of the population of this country know that national security when used in these circumstances has absolutely nothing to do with ” our ” collective security but everything to do with being a cover for sustaining the power of the wealthy and privileged.
Your newspaper and you and Jon Henley in particular have very badly let that vast majority down – after Savile we had the opportunity for this to be a watershed moment but the backlash started by the allegedly mistaken identity of a certain individual has gathered momentum and if I had been told that the Guardian would be in the vanguard of that backlash I would never have believed it ”
Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger
This is the reply I received from Alan Rusbridger :-
” Thanks for your letter.
I thought Jon Henley wrote an intelligent piece about the mixed academic and medical opinion on paedophilia.
I did not take it to be in any way a defence of child sexual abuse or paedophilia.
I think it desirable, not irresponsible, to write seriously about in-depth research into this disturbing area of life.
I was interested to read about how thinking had changed over time and to hear from a range of experts who deal with offenders
It was,to my mind, a calm and informative piece.
Tom O’Carroll’s speculation as to the genesis of the piece is wide of the mark. We did briefly meet at the Guardian’s readers’ week-end earlier last year. But this had no connection with Jon Henley’s piece.
You will be aware that the Guardian was responsible for exposing the case of mistaken identity to which you refer in your final paragraph. I don’t accept that the paper is in the ” vanguard” of any ” backlash ” after the unmasking of Savile. Our article about Lord McAlpine was of a peice with the intelligent approach that Henley showed in his own article.This is, I accept, a difficult subject and the Gurdian will continue to cover it thoroughly and calmly ”
I contacted Alan Rusbridger a week ago to advise him that I intended to post our respective views on your website I have not received a response so must assume he has no objection
Set in a wooded and pastoral countryside, Ditchley lies twelve miles north of Oxford, and within easy reach of Heathrow Airport and Central London. The original owners, the Lee Family, had hosted English monarchs there since the days of Queen Elizabeth I. The use of the house as an international conference centre aptly reflects its history and its transatlantic heritage. Built in the eighteenth century, this residence has served as the site of a number of distinguished international meetings, most notably during World War II when it occasionally became the weekend retreat of Sir Winston Churchill.
Ralph Underwager and the Cleveland child abuse inquiry
Most people’s memory of the Cleveland child abuse scandal in 1987 would be of a nationionwide media storm involving ‘falsely accused’ parents whose children had been taken away by over-zealous social workers who had misdiagnosed child sexual abuse.
But the truth was much darker. The majority of the children had been sexually abused and many were subsequently made to return to the homes they were abused in. The Department of Health “actively withheld and concealed” evidence from an independent panel which showed that 93 of the 121 Cleveland children had been found by the courts to be at risk of abuse.
In 1989, the Department of Health destroyed all records relating to the children. Within two years of the original controversy, many of the children had been re-referred to social services.
Frank Cook, Labour MP for Stockton on Tees, said: “I’m astonished and dumbfounded. Had we known what I have only just now learnt, then it would have made a major difference to the Children’s Act and to attitudes to abuse”.
The Butler-Sloss inquiry into the Cleveland case heard evidence from an American ‘child abuse expert’ called Ralph Underwager. He spoke out on behalf of the ‘falsely accused’ parents and many of his recommendations made their way into the Butler-Sloss report. The Butler-Sloss report, as Frank Cook pointed out, went on to influence both Children’s Act and also the subsequent handling of countless child abuse inquiries.
A few years later, Ralph Underwager was exposed by an interview he gave to a European paedophile magazine called Paidika, in which he said child sexual abuse was “God’s Will”.
Here are some extracts from the interview, which can be found here:
Underwager: Paedophiles can boldly and courageously affirm what they choose. They can say that what they want is to find the best way to love….Paedophiles can make the assertion that the pursuit of intimacy and love is what they choose. With boldness they can say, “I believe this is in fact part of God’s will
Cleveland Police investigating ’20 to 30′ historic child sexual abuse cases
Force confirm that they are looking into “historic cases” in the wake of coverage of high profile sexual abuse cases
2014
Retired senior judge Elizabeth Butler-Sloss was named as the chairwoman of a wide-ranging review into historical child sex abuse.
Baroness Butler-Sloss led the Cleveland child abuse inquiry in the late 1980s.
However after pressure because of her family links with the case – including a call from former Redcar MP and solicitor general Vera Baird to stand down – the former judge confirmed she would withdraw from the post.
Butler-Sloss had faced intense criticism because her brother, the late Sir Michael Havers, was attorney general during the 1980s when reports of child abuse were allegedly not examined properly.
Islington Council orders new inquiry into ex-mayor’s alleged pro-paedophile past
21 September 2017
The proposed inquiry will explore evidence that the councillor who oversaw social services as Islington’s horrific abuse scandal came to light in the early 1990s had been a member of a pro-paedophile organisation.
The Gazette reported earlier this year on ex-councillor Sandy Marks’ alleged links to a clandestine group called Fallen Angels, which was supportive of paedophilia and lobbied for paedophile rights.
She denies these allegations.
Now a top barrister has said the Gazette’s investigation calls into question the validity of an earlier independent report into child abuse at Islington’s care homes, the White Report

Town hall takes step toward reopening investigation…but survivors’ groups urge caution
Islington Council has appointed a pair of top lawyers to examine evidence linking former mayor Sandy Marks to a pro-paedophile campaign group in the early 1980s, and whether a government inquiry into the rape and assault of children over at least three decades could have been skewed.
James Goudie QC and Holly Stout have been asked to advise the council whether or not this newspaper’s investigation “could reasonably be said to call in question the integrity of the White Report” – the Department of Health’s 1995 probe that found no evidence of organised child abuse, but heavily criticised the council’s response to the allegations.
Dr Davies greeted the lawyers’ appointment with caution, pointing out Mr Goudie QC – a deputy high court judge – is acting for Lambeth Council over its own kids’ abuse scandal. Lambeth admitted liability last year for the abuse that took place at the Shirley Oaks home, but survivors were dismayed this week to discover the council – under Mr Goudie QC’s direction – would administer the payout scheme itself instead of appointing an independent panel as is usual.
In addition, eligibility criteria for receiving payouts mean many survivors will miss out, according to a spokesperson for Lambeth survivors’ group Shirley Oaks Survivors’ Association.
As survivors, SOSA is appalled that this man is being selected.”
Dr Davies said: “We were hoping for a QC with a criminal law background, or children’s law – [Mr Goudie’s] background is public administration, which made us think he’s been brought in to defend the council.”
She also questioned the terms of reference, saying: “We wouldn’t have phrased it like that.
“‘Call into question the integrity of the White Report’? We didn’t think it had much integrity. We’ve been criticising it [for years].
“I was the social worker who said 61 children were victims of a network of abuse and [yet] the White Report said there was no evidence of a network. That completely undermined all the work I was doing.”
Dr Davies said she would have preferred the lawyers to examine not just the White Report, and the 13 internal Islington Council probes that led up to it, but the period afterwards at the town hall.
And she said it was vital that the lawyers interviewed social workers and councillors from the time rather than simply carrying out a “paper exercise” – an area in which she believes the White Report failed.
Both Mr Goudie QC and Ms Stout are from the 11 King’s Bench Walk chambers in the City.
Islington’s pro-paedophile activists’ network: Roger Moody and Sandy Marks
n March 1991 Roger Moody, pro-paedophile rights campaigner and paedophile political activist, wrote to the Islington Gazette (address given as Liverpool Road, N1), identifying himself “as a youth worker who until recently worked in a school-based youth project”.
Was Roger Moody employed in Islington as a youth worker based within a school? Which school was he working within? Was Islington Council his employer?
Within 18 months of Moody losing his job, the Evening Standard exposed the extent to which Islington’s children’s homes had been infiltrated by paedophiles, pornographers and pimps.
The third meeting of the Conspiracy Against Public Morals committee (PIE’s legal defence publicists, strategists and fundraisers) gathered on 11 September 1979.
Six months’ previously in April 1979 Moody had been acquitted of 4 counts of indecent assault and 1 count of attempted buggery on a 10 year old boy — with the help of a character witness statement from an MP read out in court for his defence.
Was Roger Moody the Roger in attendance at the CAPM committee alongside Sandy Marks? If so, was Sandy Marks aware Roger Moody, as an out and proud self-proclaimed paedophile worked with children in Islington and continued to do so until at least 1991? If aware of Moody’s views on the positive benefits paedophiles bring to the social welfare of children when working in child-care roles, did Sandy Marks take any steps once serving on the Social Services Committee from 1982 to ensure Roger Moody’s ability to work with children was curtailed?

James Goudie QC and Holly Stout’s recent report for Islington Council recommends further independent investigation into Sandy Marks and her role in the 1995 White Report, and states that evidence should be examined as to “the nature, extent and duration of Sandy Marks’ involvement in Fallen Angels, and any other pro-paedophile groups;”
Two other pro-paedophile groups with links to Islington were Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) and Paedophile Action for Liberation (PAL), both of which Roger Moody contributed to meetings and newsletters of, hoping to shape their thinking along more radical socialist revolutionary lines.
The extent to which all of these pro-paedophile lobbying groups, including Fallen Angels, were able to gain influence and traction in a council which its own Chief Executive declared “vulnerable to lobbying groups”(1) is the wider context in which to examine Sandy Marks’ conduct, associations and actions, influencers and influence. Therefore Goudie QC’s inclusionary language is to be welcomed. Whether Islington Council listens remains to be seen.
Rising Free Bookshop was a distributer of alternative books and pamphlets based in Kings Cross. It was listed in the 1975 book Alternative England and Wales as follows:
Dear Sandy,
Our paths once crossed at the Rising Free Bookshop a long time ago, but it is also a long time since I exposed the Islington child abuse scandal in 1992. I have, ever since, lived and breathed the ongoing issues which that raised. Even recently, various survivors have come forward to me and I have continued to learn about the vast extent of harm that they experienced. There has never been a survivors group in Islington for the victims of the abuse and so I still remain a contact point for those who come forward. I have been trying to assist some of them in locating their files but sadly it seems most files went missing at the time of the exposé in the early 90s.
Sandy Marks chaired the London Borough’s Childrens Regional Planning Committee during the early 90s.
The well worn Times article below provides the police view in 1993 that wealthy businessmen were under surveillance who were linked to a sex ring abusing young people living in children’s homes in the London Borough of Islington which had been a magnet for ‘child molesters’. In this Times article, Sandy Marks is cited as pledging to sack senior staff if the government proved they had acted unprofessionally. There were some changes made in social services management after the Inquiries. Very few abusers were also convicted and some are now deceased but I hope that there will soon be a police-led investigation of the information we have from the 90s and also of the information from all the survivors and witnesses who have now come forward to Islington Survivors Network.
I am struggling to understand why my professional work was so despised at the time leaving me in great difficulty in trying to protect the children.
PIE’s membership increases to 35, Lambeth produces Paedophile Action for Liberation and Peter Righton works with the Campaign for Homosexual Equality to produce a booklet on Youth Sexuality, predictably covering ‘intergenerational relationships’
February 1977 PAL officially became subsumed into PIE – PIE took over their membership list
Islington Council said it was “shocked and concerned” and promised to set up an inquiry led by a “top” lawyer to examine new evidence relating to a former mayor, Sandy Marks, pro-paedophile past.
Yet they have chosen a lawyer James Goudie [5] who is acting for Lambeth Council over its own child rape scandal see Islington Council takes step toward reopening kids’ abuse investigation…but survivors’ groups aren’t happy[6]
James Goudie QC
If that was not bad enough, child abuse campaigners have long thought that the networks in the two boroughs were connected eg 2013 Were Islington and Lambeth paedophile rings connected? [2]
How can a lawyer possibly investigate the abuse network on one hand and yet also have acted for a culpable party of the abuse network on the other? How can he be seen to be impartial and fair or independent?
Further to that, in this case he is acting for both simultaneously. It is a cut and dried conflict of interest. Goudie should choose to resign. He cannot possibly continue with this conflict of interest. Victims and survivors will not be able to trust him knowing the job he is doing now.
On the offchance that even with his insider knowledge of Lambeth abuse, Goudie does not realise this conflict of interest, I have sent this article to him.
How can the Council leader Watts possibly pretend Goudie is “independent”? He promised “we will appoint an independent QC to examine the evidence…” [4] He is not independent. Simple, choose again.
The terms of reference – what a mess. Everyone knows that Inquiries have many times in the past been deliberately limited by their terms of reference.
The Council appears to be trying to pass off as the parameters of the investigation “to advise the council whether or not this newspaper’s investigation “could reasonably be said to call in question the integrity of the White Report”” [6]
This is not only far too narrow, but is actually absurd. Setting up an inquiry into whether a relatively quick and small but revealing investigation, essentially about 1 person, could reasonably be said to question the integrity of an already discredited Report?
What if the answer is Yes, which already is quite clear, what then? What a waste of time, but perhaps that is the intention?
The terms of reference of the inquiry should be to find out the truth of what happened, to find out the facts.
Sandy Marks was Mayor and Social Services Committee Chair but she also chaired the London Boroughs Regional Planning Committee between 1991-5 which made decisions about putting children into secure units.
However Sandy Marks is just one person who was politically influential at the time. There are many others that need to be looked at.
John Rea Price for example was the Director of Social Services for a long time, 1972-92. He must have some comment to make about this scandal which took place during his time in Islington. Surely he can be helpful to survivors now and reveal what he knows?
There was abuse in 22 Islington homes and foster placements over 40 years with many abusers and facilitators. To have an inquiry into one mayor would appear to be not only failing the children for which Islington Council had a Duty of Care, but also negligent.
It is surely time that the Inquiries of the 1990’s must be revisited as part of a police led investigation.
This decision has been botched by Islington in an arrogant, ignorant and crass manner.
Councillor Watts “stressed the council today is a “very different organisation” and said child protection is a top priority.”
If there’s one thing the Coon and her Islington buddies ought to be challenging Corbyn on, it’s this and not the NHS
A blind eye to child abuse: Whistleblowers warned Labour leadership favourite Jeremy Corbyn of paedophiles preying on children on his doorstep – but claim he did NOTHING
Social workers warned Corbyn that child abuse was rife in his Islington constituency in 1992
‘We’d been seeing so many 12 to 15-year-olds who were being sexually exploited, we could hardly believe it,’ Liz Davies, one of the five social workers, recalled this week
Corbyn never wrote to Davies, or telephoned, to acknowledge their meeting, or thank her for seeking to blow the whistle
PIE’s founder, Peter Righton (above) – a prominent social worker later prosecuted for importing child pornography from Holland – was put in charge of training courses on which council staff learned how to care for vulnerable children.
Righton, who had a flat in the borough (as did PIE’s one-time key member, his friend Morris Fraser) once boasted: ‘Every Islington care home manager knows I like boys from 12’
Did the leader of Plaid Cymru give a ‘glowing’ character reference to a paedophile peace activist in 1979?
Westminster06 Oct. 2015
In 1979 former social worker turned paedophile libertarian and peace activist, Roger Moody, was acquitted of indecent assault and attempted buggery of a 10 year old boy. His booklet ‘Indecent Assault’ tells of a ‘quite influential”glowing testimonial’ provided by an MP, against party HQ advice.
people of #islington REMEMBER that #corbyn was + is the MP there + WAS TOLD what was occuring re CHILD RAPES
Timing of Islington/ Sandy Marks story:
It’s also significant …the Corbyn/Islington connection is central.
This story seems to be surfacing just at the right time to further discredit Jeremy Corbyn pre- election – which means that therroristmay has the full dirt – as do the polticos driving her election campaign…
Former Labour prime minister Tony Blair was regularly painted as being part of a north London “Islington set”.
And asked if he was in fact part of an “Islington elite”, Mr Corbyn replied: “I am very proud to represent Islington North.
“It’s absolutely true, there are people in Islington who buy and drink cappuccino every day and I know many of them.
Jimmy Savile sex abuse: ‘Islington is still covering up’
Two decades on from her expose of sexual abuse in children’s homes, Eileen Fairweather talks to the survivors too scared to go public
Michael Gove has asked Islington Council for details of child abuse in the Seventies and Eighties, a scandal after which it shredded every incriminating file, sacked whistleblowers and smeared victims as mentally ill.
06 Apr 2014
The man’s messages to the little girl sounded sweet. He reminded her that he was the friendly volunteer from the hospital, said he missed his poppet and hoped she’d write back. I found his messages online in a forum abroad for sick children. I don’t know if the child replied to him, and cannot now check, because the disease that hospitalised her has killed her. But I desperately hoped she never answered – this cheery guy is an alleged serial child rapist.
This has been claimed by three traumatised women who once lived in a now-notorious Islington children’s home. The man was allowed to take them for “outings” to the park and an Islington worker’s nearby flat. There he allegedly abused them while the others were forced to watch. The youngest was five. The man is also suspected of procuring little girls from the home for Jimmy Savile.
Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, announced in the Commons last month that the Metropolitan Police has identified 21 special schools and children’s homes in which Savile preyed on youngsters. Mr Gove named most, but said that the Islington home’s identity is unknown. I know its name, and suspect that Islington Council guesses it. Mr Gove trustingly asked the north-London council, exposed in the 1990s for employing paedophiles, pimps and child pornographers at all 12 of its children’s homes, to identify it. But how can Islington be trusted to uncover its own cover-up?
The supposed mystery stems from a much larger cover-up by the then-Labour authority to protect the liberty of the evil and the reputations of the ambitious. Children – including dying little girls – are still in danger because few of the scores of perverts who infiltrated Islington’s care system between the Seventies and the Nineties have been brought to justice.
Instead, Islington shredded every incriminating file, sacked whistleblowers and smeared victims as mentally ill.
I worked on the London Evening Standard investigation that first exposed the Islington scandal. Along with a colleague, Stewart Payne, I spent three months in 1992 secretly interviewing terrified whistleblowing staff, parents and children before the newspaper published a damning investigation. It was promptly attacked by then-council leader Margaret Hodge as a “sensationalist piece of gutter journalism”. We were falsely accused of bribing children to make up their heartbreaking stories. Mrs Hodge has since apologised and explained that her officials lied to her.
But the Standard’s then editor, the late Stewart Steven, proved indomitable. He funded us to keep digging – for three long years.
The Standard’s dossiers of evidence generated 13 independent inquiries and won two British Press awards. The final, damning Ian White Report in 1995 responded to the newspaper’s 112-page dossier of evidence. Parents, children and staff reiterated to White the paper’s allegations – including that violent pimps openly collected children from the home, and were even allowed by staff to stay overnight in children’s rooms.
White, then director of Oxfordshire social services, confirmed that Islington allowed at least 26 workers facing “extremely serious allegations” to leave its employ without investigation. Staff accused of everything from rape to child prostitution had been allowed to resign, often with good references. He described Islington as a “classic study” in how paedophiles target children, aided by the council’s naive interpretation of gay rights. “Equal opportunities… became a positive disincentive for challenge to bad practice… and a great danger”.
He called for the 26 staff to be barred from childcare and investigated further, naming them in a confidential annexe. But almost none were. As the scandal raged, Islington destroyed records. Ian White confirmed that “this happened at assistant-director level”. He “found no evidence of collusion”. But he was not allowed to question Islington’s assistant director Lyn Cusack, or her staff.
Mrs Cusack was married to a local senior police officer, Detective Superintendent Don McKay. She resigned in November 1993, citing personal reasons. Days earlier, the Standard had alerted the Social Services Inspectorate to Islington losing evidence requested by three different police forces investigating child sex rings, and the linked Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE).
Islington was deeply influenced by and had many connection to the Paedophile Information Exchange. In the fatally naïve 1970s to mid 80s, PIE openly campaigned for sex to be legalised with children from age four, and for incest and child pornography to be legalised. The National Council for Civil Liberties – now Liberty – allowed it to affiliate and its then legal officer Harriet Harman wrote a paper effectively backing some PIE demands. The assumption in those “progressive” days was that paedophiles simply loved children and wanted to “liberate” their sexuality.
Mrs Harman, whose role has been exposed in recent media stories, has described Margaret Hodge as her best friend in Parliament. Mrs Hodge’s late husband, Henry Hodge, also an Islington Labour councillor, earlier chaired the National Council for Civil Liberties. It is unknown if they ever discussed PIE.
In 1985, Mrs Hodge announced that Islington Council would positively discriminate in favour of gay staff. It exempted self-declared gay men from background checks, and paedophiles pretending to be decent gay men cynically exploited this. It emerged thatIslington deputy superintendent Michael Taylor was in PIE after he received a four-year prison sentence in July 2000 for abusing two boys at Islington’s Gisburne House in the Seventies.
PIE founding member, Peter Righton, then Britain’s top “expert” on children’s homes, had even founded a training course for residential workers. Paedophilia, he declared in one essay, was “no more bizarre than a penchant for redheads”.
At least one Islington abuse victim was placed – by a key member of the Islington abuse ring, Nick Rabet – at a special boarding school outside London with which Righton was closely involved. The victim haltingly disclosed his abuse to his Islington social worker, who was deeply concerned. But in 1989, the social worker vanished, supposedly carrying the victim’s files under his arm. When the Standard asked questions about the school, Islington denied ever sending any child there. It also lied about this to police.
The White Report said that the social worker’s disappearance should be investigated by police. But it never was. This recommendation was redacted from the censored version of the report that Islington published last year. But I still have the original and live in hope of one day tracing that social worker. My understanding is that he was “heavied” and fled abroad.
Police and social services inquiries into PIE were also abruptly shut down. This led to the senior child protection manager bravely blowing the whistle in 2012 to Tom Watson, whose PMQ about an establishment paedophile ring leading to No 10 silenced the Commons. PIE supplied children from homes to wealthy establishment figures. It was the ultimate cross-party crime, which many wanted buried.
Sue Akers was a detective inspector and head of Islington police’s Child Protection Team at the scandal’s height. I begged her to study the paper’s evidence and place a believed child brothel under surveillance. But she refused to meet me. The failure of Islington police to act on intelligence provided by a terrified 13-year-old who admitted recruiting dozens of named children for three pimps was criticised by a secret 1993 inquiry into “Boy A”. But it was suppressed. Akers became a deputy assistant commander, responsible for all Metropolitan Police child-abuse investigations.
Hodge’s successor, Derek Sawyer, ran the council between 1992 and 1994, when the abuse inquiries were set up, and became head of police and probation bodies, and chairman of the London Courts Board. In 2010, Sawyer’s partner in an international education business, Derek Slade, was imprisoned for 21 years for brutally abusing 12 boys at St George’s boarding school in Suffolk. There is no suggestion that Mr Sawyer knew his friend was a paedophile.
As the Islington scandal dragged on, many of the alleged offenders simply moved abroad to prey on even poorer children. Like Jimmy Savile – and the Joker, as I have come to think of the hospital volunteer I mentioned earlier – some accessed children through charity work.
For legal reasons we are unable to name the Joker and have concealed identifying details. The allegations against him were never examined, and it is possible that they are false or result from the confused memories of young children. The Standard was similarly unable at first to name any of the alleged child abusers on Islington’s payroll. But that changed when key ringleaders were arrested abroad. Astonishingly, so-called Third World police managed what Britain’s finest could not.
Nicholas John Rabet, former deputy superintendent of Islington’s home at 114 Grosvenor Avenue, was charged in Thailand in 2006 with abusing 30 local boys – the youngest was six – and killed himself. I was finally able to describe his role in a nationwide child pornography ring serving wealthy British paedophiles; while ex-Cambridgeshire DC Peter Cook went on the record about how police inquiries here were mysteriously closed down.
The arrest and death of fellow ringleader Bernie Bain, former superintendent of Islington’s home at 1 Elwood Street, made it possible to name him. Bain abused numerous boys in his care, including Demetrious Panton, whom Margaret Hodge secretly branded “extremely disturbed” to BBC bosses in an attempt to halt a documentary on what she knew of the scandal. Mr Panton – now a lawyer – forced her to apologise for this cruel slur in the High Court.
Bain left Islington’s employ after Mr Panton, aged 11, revealed his abuse, which the council – influenced by PIE-type thinking – decided was “consensual”. The young victim spent the Eighties writing to Hodge’s councillors protesting otherwise. But Bain was left free to become a millionaire through a mysterious travel company. After the Standard started publishing, he fled to Morocco and was imprisoned there in 1996 for abusing children. He killed himself in 2000.
Detective Chief Superintendent John Sweeney, who took over Islington police’s child protection team after the scandal was exposed, traced long-ignored victims. He told me: “When I first learnt about the homes, I thought it couldn’t possibly be that bad. But it was worse.”
In the years since the White Report of 1995, more victims and abusers have come to light. However, Islington’s wholesale destruction of key files has enabled the council to avoid responsibility. I was asked in 2009 to help a solicitor representing one of Bain’s victims, who now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. Islington denied that this person was in their care as a child, and even that they ever employed Bain. The basis of their denial? They had no records for either.
Mr Panton revealed last week: “Just yesterday, I made a witness statement on behalf of someone who was also horribly abused by Bain. I knew him as a kid and his life and health have been destroyed by what happened to him. But Islington has denied any responsibility. So Islington is still covering up.”
I tracked down the Joker last autumn after I was given his details by someone who helped expose the scandal. I have known Shelley, as I shall call her, for many years and trust her forensic mind. She is concerned with protecting his three alleged victims as they remain traumatised. She knew nothing about the girls’ sufferings until Karen, the eldest, broke down and blurted out their story.
They were not yet ready, she said, to talk to the press or police. Many abuse survivors can only reveal what they suffered bit by bit – some suffer a self-protective partial amnesia. One was buggered at just five years old. I asked Shelley if it was possible she was being spun a fantasy. But she remembered the girl from care, and other details about what had occurred there.
Today Shelley has a good job, as does Karen. “Karen is very smart and sophisticated. But when she told me what happened, she fell apart. It was like she’d ripped off a scab. Afterwards she spent the day in bed, just crying.”
It is understood that, as adults in the early Noughties, two of the Joker’s alleged victims contacted the council, hoping for justice; that the council awarded them a smallish sum in compensation; and informed them the man had moved abroad and police could not find him.
Did Islington even alert police? It took me just two days to find him. I wept when I realised that he was accessing terminally ill children in an impoverished country. I discovered from his messages that the expat seemed lonely and kind. He wore funny hats to cheer up the children.
As a volunteer, he now visited them in hospital and at their homes. One unsuspecting mother said he was like a caring older relative in their time of need, and even invited him to stay. I found a photo of him at one hospital. I showed it to Shelley. She wasn’t taken in by his friendly grin: “That’s him. God, he’s ugly.”
When I learnt about the Joker, I spoke to Liz Davies, the former Islington senior social worker who blew the whistle on perverts targeting the council’s homes. Dr Davies is now Reader in Social Work at London Metropolitan University. I asked her how anyone could abuse a dying child. “Dead children can’t give evidence,” said Dr Davies. “There’s a training DVD about it. Some paedophiles target them.”
A reporter anonymously admitted last year that he had found Jimmy Savile on a mattress at the BBC with a little girl. She was bald, a cancer victim at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, where Savile “volunteered”. Savile hissed that if the reporter told anyone, his career was over. The reporter stayed silent.
Karen told Shelley: “None of us talked much as kids about what was being done to us… we felt ashamed. But the other girls mentioned being required to travel in Jimmy Savile’s taxis.”
Savile’s charity projects included ferrying disadvantaged children in taxis to places like Blackpool Pleasure Beach. At least one Islington survivor recalls being taken there by his abuser.
Child protection investigators have long been aware that corrupt taxi drivers are commissioned by paedophiles to transport children: “kids on wheels”, it has been called. One taxi driver was imprisoned in 1990 for prostituting boys. The same year, the Islington Gazette proudly recorded Jimmy Savile’s visit to open the council’s new housing complex for disabled people. The story focused on the likes of a three-year-old with cerebral palsy and a paralysed woman who had been at Stoke Mandeville.
Once this story is published, Shelley and I will give police the information we have. But she and the victims do not feel able to confide in police without the protection of media coverage.
What is certain is that neither these victims nor any others have much trust in Islington Council coming clean with the name of the home where abuse took place, as requested by Mr Gove. This is because the current Islington cabinet member with responsibility for children and family services is Joe Caluori – the son-in-law of Margaret Hodge.
Mr Panton said: “Do I think it is right that Margaret Hodge’s son-in-law now has this key position? Of course not. He may be a fine councillor, but I would think it is better that he is not in this position, given the association. While the politicians of the Eighties have moved on, their influence is still highly visible. It cannot be appropriate for any inquiry into this matter to be overseen by this MP’s relative.”
Mr Panton believes that “an independent police investigation into Islington is crucial. I know many abuse survivors who have not yet contacted Islington or the police. There is a real lack of trust – it is hard to tell your story when you risk being disbelieved or attacked.”
The whistleblower Dr Davies adds: “I think there could be more than one home with Savile connections. Children from Islington’s home at 114 Grosvenor Avenue were taken to Jersey by Rabet, and Savile visited Jersey’s Haut de la Garenne home. Survivors of abuse there have described being taken to an Islington children’s home.”

Revealed: How a close male relative of Baby P is linked to a big paedophile network
15 November 2008
A close male relative of Baby P was feared to have recruited youngsters in care for a notorious paedophile ring, according to a secret report seen by The Mail on Sunday.
Although he is not believed to have had any contact with Baby P, his involvement in a child abuse scandal in Islington, North London, in the early Nineties raises questions on the extent of checks into Baby P’s background.
‘The family should have been subjected to forensic examination,’ said a child protection expert.
Dangerous ties: A close male relative of Baby P could have recruited children for a paedophile ring
‘Even cursory checks would have rung alarm bells. Social workers might then have removed the baby, as a paediatrician and police pleaded.’
The relative was named in reports as a victim and a feared recruiter of children for pimps.
In the early Nineties he was put in a children’s home.
At the time, all 12 of Islington’s then homes, and at least one of the boarding schools it used, had been infiltrated by paedophiles.
The relative, then a frightened 13-year-old, was under the control of three pimps – Alan, John and George – who persuaded him with money, drugs and threats to bring other children to them.
He tried in vain to blow the whistle and protect himself and other children.He gave social workers the names of others ferried from the homes to, he said, Manor Park, Tottenham, Soho and Westminster to ‘be buggered by old men’.
But none of the men were placed under surveillance or questioned.
Several social workers and managers fought hard to get help for the boy and other children targeted by the paedophiles.
Social worker Neville Mighty was deputy superintendent of Islington’s then unit at 18 Highbury Grove, where pimps slept overnight.
His boss claimed such men were simply ‘boyfriends’ and said Mighty was a prude to repress the children’s sexuality.
Mighty, who had received death threats, had named the relative in a report pleading with Islington’s then director of children’s services, Lyn Cusack, for help.
Ms Cusack, married to a senior policeman, did nothing save threaten disciplinary action because Mighty was ‘rude’. Eventually, in June 1992, Mighty was sacked.
Liz Davies, the senior Islington social worker who encouraged Mighty to go public, said: ‘We got too close. There were too many powerful people involved. Child sex, pornography and sadism are extremely lucrative industries.’
In 1994, a damning independent report criticised the failure of police and social workers to help the relative and to help protect children in care in Islington.
Killer Robert Black worked at Hornsey Road Swimming Baths 1971-3 – close to Harding’s 93 Hornsey Rd
Robert Black (born 21 April 1947) is a Scottish serial killer convicted of the kidnapping and murder of four girls between the ages of 5 and 11 between 1981 and 1986 in the United Kingdom.
He was convicted of sexually assaulting one of the girls and of raping the other three. Black was also convicted of the kidnapping of a fifth girl and the attempted kidnapping of a sixth.Black is also suspected of unsolved child murders in the UK dating back to 1969 and others in the 1970s throughout Europe.At age 11, he was then sent to a children’s home in Falkirk.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Black_%28serial_killer%29Black was moved to the Red House in Musselburgh. While there, a male staff member sexually abused him. It was while Black was at Red House that he also entered Musselburgh Grammar SchoolBlack was sentenced to a year of borstal training at Polmont.[6]a well-known face on the amateur darts circuit. Darts world champion Eric Bristow knew BlackThe bodies of Maxwell, Hogg and Harper were found within 26 miles of each other, and police already believed that these three murders were linked. Detectives also thought that, because all three victims had been left long distances from where they had been taken, that the killer travelled as part of his occupation – possibly a lorry driver. The police faced great pressure to solve the crimes, as some newspapers compared them to the Moors Murders.It was one of the first inquiries to use the HOLMES computer system widely, following recommendations in the aftermath of the Yorkshire Ripper investigation.
Harmsworth Animal Hospital – Holloway
Animal hospital where Rolf Harris TV show filmed is closing down
Michelle Golding and the film “Beyond the hoodie”The estate was subject to a recent ITV documentary whereby a local MP, Ann Widdecombe, spent a night in one of the flats to highlight the supposed problem of youths causing trouble at all hours.
The youth of Andover Estate recently got together with a London film maker Michelle Golding [1] to produce a film [2] rebutting the Ann Widdecombe programme.
Young residents put across their side of the story to demonstrate that they are more likely to be victims of crime than perpetrators.
The film highlights the actual reduction in crime on the estate over the last couple of years and the problem of much of the crime being committed by non-residents. It also discusses the negative impact created by the sloppy journalism of the Ann Widdecombe film. This was brought into sharp focus by the murder of a 14 year old boy in July 2007.
One of the Uk’s top rappers Skinnyman grew up on the nearby Six Acres Estate and also spent many of his younger years hanging around on Andover Estate. His highly acclaimed album Council Estate of Mind is believed to be about his upbringing in this area.
Johnny Rotten also grew up on the nearby Six Acres Estate.
On the edge of the estate on Sonderburg Road by Seven Sisters Road is Harmsworth hospital, (named and built after Sir Harold Harmsworth) an animal hospital run by the RSPCA, which was the focal point of the television reality TV series Animal Hospital, and was presented by popular TV personality Rolf Harris.
Council offers £25-a-week jobs to children on Widdy’s estate
According to a council report into inequality, Islington has the second highest rate of child poverty in England, with no one working in more than three quarters of the poorest households
Schoolchildren as young as 14 are to be offered adult jobs such as repairing roads and clerical work in a bid to give them a “work ethic”.
Islington council wants to pay new “junior assistants” £25 to work up to eight hours a week, which it hopes will break the cycle of unemployment in deprived areas of the borough.
A pilot scheme will begin on the Andover Estate in Finsbury Park, which suffers chronic unemployment and was branded a “dump” by former Tory MP Ann Widdecombe in 2007 when she stayed there for an ITV documentary Ann Widdecombe Vs The Hoodies. She described the estate as “very nasty, very threatening” and the youngsters living there as “thugs”.
And Holloway Prison (Claire Rayner/Boateng/Longford Myra Hindley etc) is nearby…………………………………………………………………….Holloway Prison
HC Deb 13 May 1983 vol 42 c511W 511W§ Mr. Christopher Priceasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement about the exclusion of the head of the education department by the governor of Holloway prison from that institution on the grounds that he was in contact with a former inmate; and what is his policy about such contacts.§ Mr. MellorAs part of their general responsibilities for assisting prisoners in preparing for release prison education officers sometimes maintain contact with former prisoners after release. But under rule 81 of the Prison Rules they are required to make the governor aware of such contacts, and it is open to the governor to prohibit them if in the particular case he considers it advisable to do so in the interests of good order and discipline. I understand that in the case to which the hon. Member refers the governor considered it necessary to prohibit contact by the education officer with a particular prisoner and instructed him to give a formal written assurance that he would comply with that instruction. When the education officer failed to give that asssurance the governor requested his employer, the Inner London Education Authority, to withdraw him from the prison pending a formal hearing of the case as provided under his conditions of service. That hearing is due to take place on 26 May and it would be inappropriate for me to comment further at this stage.
The head of the education department, at that time was the recently outed, by msm, Sir Keith Joseph.
Thatcher later referred to Joseph as her closest political friend
Keith Harding’s shop:
One of his staff, who worked for him between 1980 and 1987, said: “Leon Brittan and Cyril Smith were both regular visitors to the shop. Usually they would come in via the side door, other times they would ring the bell at the front entrance and come in.“They’d straight away ask for Keith who would be coming down the stairs. “Then they would then either go up to his office for a private meeting or they’d go out for several hours.” The former worker added: “The shop had many high profile customers, including the Royals, because we were one of the few antique dealers in the world that specialised in restoring clocks, music boxes and automatons.
“It’s only now, with what I know about Brittan and Smith, and of course Keith, that has made me wonder what they were doing. Jeremy Thorpe too was an occasional visitor.” Harding was given the Freedom of the City of London and made a member of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers. He moved to Gloucester in 1987 after PIE disbanded, setting up Keith Harding’s World of Mechanical Music, a museum in Northleach, near Cheltenham.
Stephen Govier, a man who lived by the gun, contributed to Bloch’s book on Jeremy Thorpe!
Isn’t it interesting that Jeremy Thorpe would have gone to live in the place gunman Stephen Govier suddenly absconded to. The very same Govier who was mates with Derek Laud and returned to live with Atkinson MP who had Thorpe’s possessions?

Wonders from a bygone ageThursday 18th March 2010
“When I was a boy,” he said, “my father was a doctor in Faringdon.“I
was invited to parties in big houses where the music boxes that were once in drawing rooms had been passed down to the nursery.“Most of my friends had music boxes, and I had that early fascination.“I’m interested in everything that moves – I always wanted to know the cause of everything.”Of such early interests, wonders may eventually be born.
Mr Harding has been many things in his life, including an engineer, a journalist, a Dominican Friar, a librarian and amember of the RAF.
He left the RAF when it seemed the powers that be were about to direct his talents toward making bigger and better atom bombs – not a prospect he relished.
He is a Freeman of the City of London and an internationally acclaimed maker and restorer of clocks, musical boxes and various other intriguing machines. There is scarcely a clock or musical box in the Victoria and Albert Museum that has not been worked on by him at some point, and the V&A also housed a special clock he was asked to build in honour of the Queen’s Silver Jubilee in 1977.
He regularly advises leading auction houses.
He and his small team at Northleach have grateful clients all over the world, from prestigious museums and galleries to private collectors with deep pockets and a taste for the exquisite and unusual.
When not busy with such matters, Mr Harding has found time for cave diving, the violin, playing in a brass band and studying ancient written languages, among other pursuits.

In 1962 as the sounds of Joe Meek and The Tornados’ Telstar descended the UK charts from five weeks at Number 1…
The interview panel for the role of Secretary to the Albany Trust was a committee of five men and one woman. Already known to most in his role as Treasurer before Grey were the familiar faces of an elderly genitourinary surgeon, a Labour inner-city MP, the Bishop of Woolwich, a published criminal psychiatrist and a young married couple in town from up North.
“My appointment was not a foregone conclusion. I was asked to wait in Kenneth Walker’s little Harley Street dining room while the committee discussed my offer. Besides Mr Walker, the others present were
Dr Neustatter (the Society’s deputy chairman Dr [Walter] Lindesay Neustatter was the Trust’s deputy chairman at the time, as well as consulting at Royal Northern Hospital and serving as Vice-President of the Medico-Legal Society. Six years previously he had delved into ‘The Mind of the Murderer’… in 1966 would give Ian Brady’s pre-sentence report and gave evidence on Brian Jones’ state of mind.), Kenneth Robinson MP, the Bishop of Woolwich (‘Honest to God’ John Robinson) and the Newalls.
Apologies for absence had been received from Jeremy Thorpe MP, Ambrose Appelbe, C.H. Rolph and Jacquetta Hawkes, although I believe that most, if not all, of these had told Kenneth Walker of their views.” [Grey Loc 1148/6001]
Royal Northern Hospital, Holloway Road The Great Northern Hospital was founded, at his own expense, by Dr. Sherard Freeman Statham, an assistant surgeon, who had been dismissed from University College Hospital for smacking a patient’s bottom.
Interestingly, half of the interviewing Albany Trust committee were involved in Royal Northern Hospital, located on the Holloway Road in Islington, North London.
Kenneth Walker O.B.E was an eminent consultant surgeon to the Genito-Urinary Department at Royal Northern, while Dr Neustatter was a senior psychiatrist to the department of Psychological Medicine there and Kenneth Robinson, a local Labour MP for St Pancras, served on the Hospital’s Board.
(It was Kenneth Robinson MP as Wilson’s Minister of Health who won a libel suit against the Church of Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard. In 1967, banning foreign Scientologists from entering the UK (a prohibition which remained in force until 1980). In response, L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology’s founder, had accused Wilson of being a puppet of Soviet Russia backed by an international conspiracy of psychiatrists and financiers!)
Kenneth Walker O.B.E (1882 – 1966)- In 1939 he had co-written with a pschoanalyst the book Sexual Disorders in the male. In 1945 described circumstances in which artificial insemination was taking place in UK in British Medical Journal with Dr Weisner and in the early 1920s was performing testicular grafts for ‘rejuvenation’although he very quickly saw them as impossible and denounced Voronoff’s work (based in 1920s Paris transplanting first castrated criminals’ ‘glands’ and then shavings of monkey glands into wealthy elderly men!) to the Royal College of Surgeons.
The hospital had moved grounds several times since being founded in the 1850s to end up near Union Chapel, Highbury and Islington station with a Royal Charter from 1921. It was one of the first hospitals to receive wireless radio on the wards.

“Royal Northern. North seven …” While that may not be the most well-known of chorus chants from the height of the punk explosion, Demon Preacher’s debut single Royal Northern was nevertheless the embodiment of the era’s spirit of get up and go.
The group’s debut performance was in a church hall on the Holloway Road, and the show was attended by sundry Sex Pistols. So it seems only appropriate the group’s debut release, on its own Illegal Pressings label, in 1978 would feature a song about the Royal Northern Hospital, similarly on the Holloway Road, and stories circulating at the time about porters assisting with operations. The hospital is long gone, and so many of London’s hospitals have flats on the sitDemon Preacher itself is of particular interest to some punk archivists because it was led by Nik Wade who would go on to form Alien Sex Fiend. I don’t think any of his later songs were postcode related. And if you’re not sure about the north London postcodes ..

Child murderer Myra Hindley and her establishment supporter Lord David Astor
Joy Blanchard –
With Greyhe brings a former secretary to David Astor, the founder of The Observer, Joyce Blanchard.
He works part-time for the Trust, one day a week on Saturdays sub-editing for The Observer in their offices on Fleet Street and part-time writing a book for the Steel industry for the next five-six years.
“At the advertising agency I had made friends with a temporary senior secretary, Joyce Blancahrd (known to everyone as Joy) who was then in her late forties, and had previously worked as a personal secretary to several eminent businessmen – including David Astor of the Observer. I decided to offer her the position of Office Manager at the HRLS/Albany Trust offices, and she responded enthusiastically.” [Loc 1122/6001]
The private letters, sent between David Astor and Myra Hindley for 20 years
When Myra Hindley became the object of David Astor’s philanthropic sympathy, the lives of the murderer and the journalist became strangely connected. It’s a story, buried in Astor’s private papers, that has never been reported.
Moors murders BOMBSHELL: Jimmy Savile part of ‘paedo ring with Ian Brady and Myra Hindley’
25th June 2017
DISGRACED radio DJ Jimmy Savile has been accused of buying indecent photographs of children from evil killers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, Daily Star Online can exclusively reveal.
Savile – who died in 2011 at the age of 84 – never faced trial for his crimes as one of Britain’s worst ever sex offenders.His twisted friendship with Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe is well known but now Daily Star Online can exclusively lift the lid on his links to the Moors murderers.Before their arrest in 1965, Savile ran the BBC studios from Manchester’s Dickenson Road – where Top of the Pops was filmed – and has been accused of meeting with Brady and Hindley to buy indecent images of children.
Erica Gregory – who has devoted years of her life investigating the Moors murders – believes they even formed a twisted “paedophile ring”.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Star Online, she said: “I believe they went to the BBC studio regularly to make a fuss and try to get in with Savile.
“Alongside David Smith, Brady was selling photographs of children to make money at this time – I believe Savile could have been one of his customers.
“It is well known that Savile visited them both inside. I believe they were in a ring of some sort.”
It doesn’t stop there, though.
In 2014, Dan Davies noted that Savile chillingly replied “I am the Myra Hindley story” when asked on his opinion of it.And Gregory believes that Savile continued to communicate with the killers after their incarceration – visiting them and using songs played on the radio to transmit coded messages.“Savile could have been using his radio for secret messages,” she said.“Brady used music in tapes and songs that he stated reminded him of the Moors.“And Savile knew that if he played a song at a certain time then those listening would get the message.”
Brady – who passed away last month – was responsible for the brutal murder of five children in and around Greater Manchester alongside serial killer lover Myra Hindley in the 1960s.The twisted 79-year-old never revealed the location of Keith Bennett’s body – despite desperate appeals from the 12-year-old’s mum Winnie Johnson, who died in 2012.Before his death, Brady had been incarcerated at Ashworth Hospital since 1985 while Hindley died in 2002 after 35 years behind bars.Together they killed five child victims – Pauline Reade, John Kilbride, Keith Bennett, Lesley Ann Downey and Edward Evans – between July 1963 and October 1965.At least four of them, including Bennett, were sexually assaulted before the killers were finally convicted and jailed for life in 1966.Earlier this month, Daily Star Online exclusively revealed how the evil duo could have been responsible for the death of seven more children.
60s Lord Boothby shares rent boys with Krays, now, Keith Vaz buys coke for rent boys, 60s Ted Heath takes kids from jersey home, May covers
Gangster Ronnie Kray and top politician Lord Boothby in 1963. Lord Boothby was close to all the top people from Churchill to Tom Driberg”The Krays had property at Bildeston where they were involved with local youth clubs and giving children donkey rides etc.”Apparently Kray had access to many London care homes and would have boys delivered to parties at DJ Alan ” fluff” Freeman’s large flat over a music shop in East London.
“There they would meet with show biz types and DJs including Jimmy Saville, JOE MEEKS and on occasion Beatles manager Brian Epstein.”
According to this source – Archives – the Krays ran a paedophile ring.
They were billeted at East House Lodge, Hadleigh, and placed on the roll of local schools.“When we was little kids we got evacuated to Suffolk, near Ipswich,” confirmed Ronnie among the hubbub of one of those Broadmoor taping sessions. “We went to a Mrs Styles’s place in Suffolk – she had a mansion there – and we stayed with her. It was the first time we ever went to the county and we got to like the country.”…he turned his mind back to carefree childhood days in Suffolk: tobogganing at Hadleigh, scrumping for apples, and playing cowboys and Indians.He also recalled the country mansion at Bildeston the twins later bought for £11,000 – reflecting that it would now be worth £1million-plus, if only they could have held on to it – and explained how they’d go on antique-buying trips while up in East Anglia.“It all adds up to a picture of the Kray twins no-one has ever seen,” says Robin McGibbon, the journalist who talked to the brothers in the 1980s and ’90s and committed their memories to tape.
CABINET minister Ken Clarke was dramatically dragged into the Jimmy Savile scandal yesterday.
It emerged that BBC pervert Savile was “given the keys” to Broadmoor secure hospital around 1988 — when Mr Clarke was Health Secretary.
Mr Clarke was last night forced to defend himself, saying: “I have no recollection of ever having met Jimmy Savile and no recollection of these events.
“The Department of Health are now investigating to establish the facts.”
Why was murderous child-rapist and VIP pimp, Jimmy Savile, given the keys to high-security psychiatric hospital, Broadmoor? Was it because, as well as being able to freely abuse residents, he was also able to stay in close contact with notorious killers, Ian Brady, Ronnie Kray and Peter Sutcliffe? Most certainly, yes.
“What was involved was the systematic abuse of ten-to-twelve-year-old boys, one of whom subsequently became fairly well known as a singer.
“Another, rather less fortunate,wound up in six pieces in two suitcases…
Tony Oliver was 13 when his brother Bernard was murdered In January 1967, police in Tattingstone, Suffolk, discovered a suitcase containing the mutilated body of Bernard Oliver. The dissected body of Bernard Oliver, 17, from Muswell Hill, north London, was found dumped in two suitcases on farmland in Tattingstone, near Ipswich, on 16 January 1967.
The possibility that Britten and Pears were part of Righton’s circle (and thus perhaps also to other members of PIE) does not in itself prove anything, but undoubtedly this needs to be investigated, together with the meetings in Snape Maltings. That question has certainly been asked by the Daily Mail. Last month the paper put the Savile scandal and the Britten centenary together and asked if the BBC would acknowledge Britten’s “obsession with young boys” in its plans for the centenary, which are designed to reflect the “significant part the BBC played in the Britten story”.

Benjamin Britten’s Gloriana to mark 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation Her coronation in 1953 was marked by the premiere of Benjamin Britten’s Gloriana, an opera commissioned in honour of the occasion. The fact that Benjamin Britten was deeply fascinated by adolescent boys throughout his life is no secret. His sexuality loomed large in Humphrey Carpenter’s ground-breaking 1992 biography, and was the subject of a 2004 TV documentary and subsequent book, Britten’s Children. WH Auden once taunted Britten over his “attraction to thin-as-a-board juveniles”. No one with even a brief acquaintance of Britten’s music can possibly miss the prominent and privileged place that music for the unbroken male voice occupies in his output.

TWO doctors wanted for the death and homosexual assault of another boy were the prime suspects in the Tattingstone suitcase murder, it can be revealed today.
TWO doctors wanted for the death and homosexual assault of another boy were the prime suspects in the Tattingstone suitcase murder, it can be revealed today.
Martin Reddington and John Byles both denied any involvement in the strangling and mutilation of mentally disabled teenager Bernard Oliver in January, 1967.
But detectives investigating one of the most horrific crimes Suffolk has ever known, pinpointed the pair as suspects from an early stage in their inquiries.
And when the case was reopened, in 1977, their links were again closely scrutinised. By this time, the case against them had grown even stronger.
But, in a remarkable hole in the investigation, Dr Reddington was never interviewed in connection with the offence.
It was decided there was insufficient evidence to extradite him from Australia, where he was living in 1977.
Original documents from the massive murder probe reveal they were jointly wanted for a string of sickening crimes, including gross indecency and buggery.
And one involved the murder of a boy in London in 1973, after an apparent homosexual relationship.
The previously unrevealed evidence is able to be published today due to the new Freedom of Information Act which will become law at the beginning of next year.
However Suffolk police granted permission for the file to be opened two months early after a request by The Evening Star.
The death of the boy in London in 1973 was a crime which had striking parallels with the gruesome death of Mr Oliver, whose severed body was discovered packed into two suitcases.
Tests on the remains revealed Mr Oliver had taken part in homosexual acts prior to his death, although his friends insisted he was not gay.
Two years before Mr Oliver’s death, a warrant had been issued for the arrest of Dr Reddington for the buggery and indecent assault of males, in 1965.
But before police inquiries could be completed, he fled the country for South Africa. Despite several attempts, the warrant was never executed and his guilt neither proved nor disproved.
It was known he made a number of return visits to the United Kingdom since leaving, although no evidence was ever found to place him in Suffolk or North London in January 1967.
The strong lack of leads to back up suspicions against the pair hindered the investigation from day one.
Yet, at the same time a great deal of other circumstantial evidence was building up.
One clue was the location of Dr Reddington’s surgery in Muswell Hill, North London, which was in the direction of the street Mr Oliver was last seen walking down.
Despite every address in the area being searched, the crime scene was never established – nor was any link with Suffolk.
The only possible clue was the local knowledge of Colchester-born Dr Reddington, although Dr Byles denied any knowledge of the county when interviewed.
A private investigator in Muswell Hill provided one of the fascinating pieces of evidence in the entire investigation.
She claimed to recognise the suitcase used to discard the body parts of Mr Oliver, pointing to the distinctive P.V.A initials on its side.
She told detectives she spoke to a man in a launderette on numerous occasions and vividly remembered the suitcase being brought in containing his dirty washing.
It was her description that to an artist’s impression of the killer being released.
And when the inquiry was reopened in 1977, she picked out a photograph of Dr Reddington as one of three men she recognised as owning the suitcase.
Another other clue that caused suspicion to fall on the two doctors was the expert way in which the body was cut up.
Neatly severed into eight parts, the precise and deliberate nature of the operation meant only an expert could have carried it out.
A consultant surgeon at the then Ipswich and East Suffolk Hospital decided the crime was most likely to have been committed by a doctor, surgeon or medical student.
It was someone with “knowledge of anatomy with previous experience of dismemberment”. The gory task had been “expertly accomplished”, with the exception of one joint.
The consultant explained: “One would expect the person dissecting the body, irrespective of how calm and deliberate he may have been, to show some sign of nerves, anxiety or excitement towards the end of the dissection.
“This could well be the reason for the bad workmanship on the left knee joint.”
But despite this growing weight of evidence by the late 1970s, Dr Reddington went to his grave without ever answering any questions relating to the crime. He died in May 1995, aged 63.
By now, Dr Byles had committed suicide in 1975, after being arrested and charged for an indecent assault in London, while in Australia.
He jumped bail and committed suicide before the full facts of the matter could be determined.
The 38-year-old left two suicide notes beside his body, one to Reddington, and another to Scotland Yard.
The note to police contained an apology for what he had done, but there was no direct reference to the Tattingstone murder. He was thought to have been responsible for the death of a cabin boy.
Eric Shields, a former detective sergeant with Suffolk police, was one of the officers who worked on infamous crime nearly 40 years ago.
Today he said: “The investigation was carried out in minute detail. As far as I’m concerned, it was dealt with in a highly professional manner.”
“I’m sure all the officers who worked on the Tattingstone murder are disappointed nobody has been brought to book.”
The case of the murder of Bernard Oliver, 17, whose dismembered body was found in two suitcases in the village of Tattingstone in Suffolk in 1967, is unsolved and because the main suspects are both now dead, it will likely remain so, but it was the identifying of those two suspects, Dr Martin Reddington and Dr John Byles, and the tracing of the history of at least some of their offending which led us to the ‘Holy Trinity Paedophile Ring’. This was a group of professionals that in 1975 stood trial at Leeds Crown Court and were found guilty of the sexual abuse of young boys including abuse within the Holy Trinity church, Huddersfield, and the trade in child sexual abuse images to Copenhagen and Amsterdam.

Porn lawyer charged in Brazil with child exploitation
July 24, 2002
An American lawyer who specialized in defending those accused of child pornography is under arrest in Brazil, charged with violating that country’s laws against child exploitation. Lawrence Allen Stanley, 47, was arrested June 8 after police in Salvador say they found more than 1,000 photographs and more than 100 videos of young girls in swimsuits and underwear. The arrest came days after the Brazilian magazine Epocha reported that Stanley, a fugitive who has lived in Brazil since 1998, had built an international business photographing Brazilian girls and selling their photos through the Internet.At a hearing July 8, a Brazilian federal judge ordered that Stanley remain in custody until trial after receiving the report of an investigation from Rita Sanchez, head of the Center for Human Rights. Stanley faces up to four years in prison if convicted.Under the alias L.A. Stanaman, Stanley operated the “MiniModels” Web site, featuring photos of girls ages 8 to 14 in what police Officer Rui Gomes described to the Associated Press as “sensual poses.” Police said Stanley paid the girls $20 to $40 for each photo session.An official of the Brazilian Embassy in Washington did not respond to a request for information on Stanley’s case.Stanley has been identified as the owner of Alessandra’s Smile, a New York company that sells erotic material about girls. He is also the publisher of Ophelia Editions, which produces books with pedophile themes, and Uncommon Desires, a newsletter that has called itself “the voice of a politically conscious girl-love underground.”Stanley has a criminal record. He was charged with “sexual aggression” against a girl in Quebec in 1990, but Canadian officials never sought extradition. In 1998, a Dutch court convicted Stanley in absentia for sexual abuse of three children ages 7 to 10, Epocha reported. He faces a three-year prison sentence if he returns to the Netherlands. Brazil has no extradition treaty with the Netherlands.In 1989, federal authorities accused Stanley of conspiring with a client, photographer Don Marcus, to import child pornography. Marcus who fled to France to escape prosecution and is still a fugitive asked Stanley to pick up a suitcase that was found to contain child pornography. His attorney argued that Stanley did not know what was in the suitcase, and a jury acquitted him in 1993. He has written several articles about child pornography, including one in 1987 in the Dutch pedophile journal Paidika. “Law enforcement officials have exaggerated the incidence of possession of child pornography,” Stanley said. “Only 14 percent depicted children engaged in sexual conduct with adults,” he said, referring to photos in child pornography magazines.
Those assertions were expanded by Stanley in a 1988 Playboy article, “The Child Pornography Myth,” in which he argued that pedophiles were a “small, essentially insignificant group.”
Stanley’s work was cited by Judith Levine in her recent book, “Harmful to Minors,” which several critics said promoted pedophilia. The Levine book was sold by one of Stanley’s Web sites, which praised it as an “important and compelling book” debunking “myths that adult attraction to children is a serious and pervasive threat.” As lawyer in the mid-1990s, Stanley defended efforts by the North American Man Boy Love Association to operate as a tax-exempt group.
In 1998, U.S. Customs officials seized a large shipment of European nudist magazines addressed to Stanley’s company, Alessandra’s Smile. In 1999, a federal judge ruled the magazines obscene, but the decision was reversed by an appeals court. panel.http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2002/jul/24/20020724-034743-2147r/
How the art world turned a blind eye to a paedophile: Painter Graham Ovenden defended by the establishment is convicted of indecency against young girls
Charities condemn gallery over major show on ‘repugnant’ artist who sexually abused his two daughters
Twisted British artist Eric Gill sexually abused his two daughters and his pet dog
Extent of his reign of horror over his children only emerged after he died in 1940
Row has broken out after art gallery plans to display his artwork of his daughters
30 April 2017
An art gallery came under fire last night for staging a major exhibition about an artist who abused his two daughters and slept with his sister.
The retrospective of Eric Gill’s work includes explicit drawings, prints and sculptures of his daughters, Elizabeth and Petra.
Gill died in 1940, aged 58, and it later emerged that the girls had suffered years of sexual abuse at his hands.
He also had an incestuous relationship with his younger sister Gladys, and conducted sexual experiments on his dog.
The show, which opened yesterday at the Ditchling Museum Of Art And Craft in East Sussex, features a nude drawing of Elizabeth from 1927 and a woodblock showing a naked Petra from 1921.
Rape charities called the show ‘repugnant’.
Fay Maxted, chief executive of the Survivors Trust, said: ‘The gallery is showing a real lack of understanding of the impact of sexual abuse on children and the responsibility we have not to promote it or normalise it. If you add the financial element, it becomes even more distasteful.’
Some residents in Ditchling, where Gill lived between 1906 and 1924, also criticised the museum. Jazz musician Herbie Flowers, 79, said: ‘They might as well put a Rolf Harris exhibition on the week after and a Jimmy Savile and Gary Glitter one after that.’
Museum director Nathaniel Hepburn said: ‘We have spoken to some of those in the village who raised concerns and once they have heard more about the exhibition then they have been supportive of our approach, even if they still object to Gill.’

A TEACHER who built a secret room at a Woking school where he indecently assaulted pupils has walked free from court.
2 JUL 2013
Terrence Waters, 68, an art and carpentry teacher at Allen House School, a boys’ school that has since closed, was given a suspended sentence after admitting 12 charges.
Judge Michael Addison said Waters was in a position of trust when he committed the seven counts of indecent assault on a male and five of indecency with a child.
The incidents took place in the 1970s and 1980s. The court heard that Waters was told to leave the school following allegations made against him.
Ruby Selva, prosecuting, said Waters, now of Kent Square, Great Yarmouth, organised trips and a photography club.
In 1988, he received a five-year sentence for indecent assault, reduced to three-and-a-half years on appeal.
In 1994, he was sentenced to 10 years for indecent assault, reduced to six on appeal, and he received another 13 months for taking indecent photographs in 2000.

Barrister complains to police and BSB about another barrister’s unacceptable behaviour on Twitter
Jan 30 2017
Barbara Hewson called out for social media etiquette
Two barristers are locked in a very public spat after one accused the other of “enthusiastically” encouraging the abuse of an unnamed journalist online.Sarah Phillimore (pictured top left), who is a tenant at St John’s Chambers in Bristol, and Barbara Hewson (pictured top right), who is a member of 1 Gray’s Inn Square in London, are at loggerheads over Hewson’s social media etiquette.This according to The Times (£), which reported today that Phillimore has sent a letter to Hewson’s legal representatives complaining about her behaviour on Twitter. The letter stated:
Ms Hewson has enthusiastically encouraged such abuse [of the journalist] over many months and engaged in direct abuse and harassment [herself].
Confirming to Legal Cheek that she has filed complaints with both the police and Bar Standards Board (BSB), Phillimore continued:
I… believe I have clear evidence to support my contention that Ms Hewson’s online activities have serious and potentially criminal ramifications well beyond the issue of publication on Twitter. This is not acceptable behaviour from a practising barrister.
I object in the strongest possible terms to Ms Phillimore’s brinkmanship, making extraordinarily serious accusations in an unfocused way, without any supporting evidence. I and my legal team will robustly defend any civil or criminal proceedings that she, or any anyone else, initiates against me.
While the identity of the journalist remains a mystery, Legal Cheek understands that the Twitter bust-up and subsequent letter stems from the barristers’ differing views on child abuse cases. The report states that Hewson has instructed London-based media experts Simons Muirhead & Burton to defend any potential claim.
Responding to today’s report, the BSB told Legal Cheek:
The BSB does not comment as to whether or not individual barristers are the subject of a complaint or a disciplinary investigation. If a complaint is received, or if information about potential misconduct by a barrister comes to our attention, it is dealt with in accordance with the procedures set out in detail on our website.
This isn’t the first time Hewson and her online shenanigans have hit national headlines.
In 2015 the civil law barrister branded the now ex-deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland a “cunt” on Twitter. In another colourful tweet, she called on several of the site’s users to “get off my tits, you cunts.”
The experienced lawyer also received widespread criticism after she called for the age of sexual consent to be lowered to just 13. Penning an article for online magazine Spiked back in 2013, she said the move was necessary to end the “persecution of old men”.
Hewson did not respond to Legal Cheek’s request for comment.

John Alexander Melvin Hemming (born 16 March 1960) is a British Liberal Democrat politician and a businessman. He served as the Member of Parliament for Birmingham Yardley from 2005 to 2015.
AS his wife is found guilty of stealing his lover’s cat, why life is never dull around John Hemming – the politician accused of having 26 affairs during his marriage.
A former heavy-metal drummer who once put himself forward as a candidate for Britain’s first astronaut, he is a multi-millionaire who set up a company writing software for stockbrokers when he was only 23.

I’m sure that many will think that this proves nothing other than that Terence Ewing has an extremely poor taste when selecting business partners.
However, call me old fashioned but I do believe that it is extremely unethical and potentially illegal for ‘The Association of McKenzie Friends’ to seek to sell “video evidence”, “interviews with victims of child trafficking”, and “documentation regarding child abuse”.

Here’s John Hemming on trafficking children to Jersey. Why has he gone silent on issues like this?
Birmingham council illegally sent children into care in Jersey, MP report reveals
4 August 2008
Paedophile Sir Jimmy Savile with children at Haut de la Garenne
The revelation comes amid continuing police investigations into 100 charred bone fragments and 65 milk teeth found at Jersey’s now notorious Haut de la Garenne former children’s home.
Liberal Democrat MP John Hemming, who discovered that his local city council had sent children to Jersey, believes other children from the UK ‘were also placed in care there’.
The MP for Birmingham Yardley added: ‘The Government has refused to order councils to check properly because it does not want to open a can of worms, on the links between abusers in England and Jersey.’
The Mail on Sunday has also learned that children from UK local authorities, which have also been the subject of abuse allegations, were taken on holiday to Haut de la Garenne, where the bone fragments are said to belong to five children whom detectives believe were killed.
Birmingham council discovered it had placed five children in foster care on Jersey because, at Mr Hemming’s request, it checked old accounts. It found it made payments to Jersey for child care between 1960 and 1990. Yet a social work file survived on only one child.
Schools Minister Kevin Brennan has told the Commons that checks are unnecessary because children from the UK cannot be placed in care in Jersey without a court order. Yet the five Birmingham children were sent to Jersey without such orders.
Mr Hemming has asked English councils to check their records under the Freedom of Information Act. He said: ‘Most seem only to have done cursory checks, just checking recent electronic files, or asking around the office.’
A handful of councils refused to check at all.
They included Islington in North London, whose 12 children’s homes were infamously infiltrated between the Seventies and Nineties by a child sex and pornography network, while Margaret Hodge was council leader.
Key staff were from Jersey or had strong Channel Islands connections. The council told Mr Hemming that checking its records would cost too much.
Liz Davies, the former Islington senior social worker who bravely blew the whistle on the scandal, said last night: ‘It is becoming clear that children at Haut de la Garenne were sent on holiday to children’s homes in England which were also notorious for abuse, while the children in the English homes they went to were sent to Haut de la Garenne. They literally swapped beds.’
Barrister ‘made death threats’ to student
April 12 2017
Barbara Hewson has been accused of online and other abuse. She came to prominence after calling for the age of consent to be lowered in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal
Police have issued a harassment warning to a barrister amid allegations that she waged a campaign of online bullying, abuse and “death threats” against a law student and another lawyer.
Barbara Hewson, 55, who came to prominence after the Jimmy Savile scandal when she called for the age of sexual consent to be substantially lowered, is the subject of mounting complaints to the Bar’s regulator.
At least three complaints have been lodged with the Bar Standards Board, The Times has learnt.
It has also emerged that Ms Hewson, a Court of Protection and human rights specialist, has within the past few weeks left her chambers, 1 Gray’s Inn Square, in London. The chambers, which is also home to the civil liberties lawyer Michael Mansfield, QC,… https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/barrister-made-death-threats-to-student-zx5jjgbjx
Lawyer who was dubbed the ‘bolshiest barrister on Twitter’ and called for age of consent to be lowered to 13 ‘made death threats’ to law student
It is not the first time Miss Hewson has aroused controversy.
She caused outrage after the Jimmy Savile abuse allegations when she called for the age of consent to be lowered to 13 and for an end to the ‘persecution of old men’.
She has also questioned whether rape victims are ‘utterly innocent’ and suggested that they can have a ‘moral responsibility for the crime’.
Miss Hewson said rape victims had a ‘moral responsibility’ and cases were rarely straight forward where one party was ‘utterly guilty’ or ‘utterly innocent’.
And she described Scotland Yard’s investigations into historic sexual abuse as a ‘witch hunt’.
In September 2016 Miss Hewson said it was time to ‘put an end to the whole fiasco’. Writing for the Daily Mail, she called for the inquiry into historic abuse to be closed.

Among those to have been convicted is former BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall, who admitted 14 charges of indecently assaulting girls, including one aged nine, between 1967 and 1985.
The Hardwicke chambers, where Ms Hewson works in London, said it dissociated itself from her comments.
In a statement, Hardwicke said: “We are shocked by the views expressed in Barbara Hewson’s article in Spiked.
“We did not see or approve the article pre-publication and we completely dissociate ourselves from its content and any related views she may have expressed via social media or any other media outlets.”

Explosive report into child sexual abuse at Croydon children’s home Shirley Oaks names 27 alleged paedophiles
Staff at the Shirley Oaks home, doctors, teachers, vicars and football coaches have all been named
An explosive report into sexual abuse and ‘widespread corruption’ at a Croydon children’s home includes the names of 27 people abuse survivors claim are paedophiles.
Shirley Oaks Survivors Association (SOSA) published the report today following its two-year-long investigation into child abuse inside south London’s care system.
Testimonies of more than 400 residents of children’s homes have been included in the findings, which were shared today at a conference in central London.
Staff at the Shirley Oaks home, doctors, teachers, vicars and football coaches have all been named in the report.
The report claims at least 60 paedophiles operated in the Wickham Road children’s home, and 27 alleged abusers have now been named.
“Shirley Oaks seemed to develop a model for paedophiles that worked. That was the ability to control the movement of children and that was replicated in Lambeth council.”
SOSA’s report claims 31 paedophiles were connected to the home or the authority, including Philip Temple, a former senior housefather at Rowan House at Shirley Oaks who was jailed for 12 years in August for abusing 12 young people over 25 years.
Married music teacher at £33,000-a-year boarding school subjected teenage schoolgirl to ‘vile’ bondage abuse in violin lessons then critiqued her sexual technique

28 March 2017
A music teacher at a top private school subjected a girl to ‘vile’ bondage sessions and critiqued her sexual technique in the same he would her violin playing.
Married Dara de Cogan, now 58, had lusted after the girl – who was more than 30 years his junior and saw him as a ‘substitute father’ – since she was 13.
York Crown Court heard the girl was a gifted student at £33,000-a-year Ampleforth College, in North Yorkshire.
De Cogan, born in Ireland, was also a musician of international acclaim who was appointed Head of Strings at the boarding school, which boasts Rupert Everett and James Norton among its alumni, in 2004.
The married man, who has two adopted daughters, tutored her in the violin.
Ampleforth College, in North Yorkshire
The girl, now in her 20s, said in a victim impact statement read to the court that her musical ambitions after university had been thwarted by what she has gone through.
She added: ‘He took advantage of me in the most manipulative and vile way possible.
Judge Andrew Stubbs told him: ‘You took advantage of her immaturity, insecurity and innocence.
Dara de Cogan leaves York Crown Court to start his prison sentence for having sexual activity with a pupil
‘When parents send their children to school they entrust their most precious possession to the care and protection of others.
‘This was an abject failure of trust both in the college and you.’
De Cogan, of Kilburn village, North Yorkshire, admitted ten counts of sexual activity with a child while in a position of trust.
He was jailed for 28 months with half to be served and ordered to sign on a sex offenders register for ten years.
De Cogan bowed to the judge and smiled to his family before being handcuffed in the dock and taken into custody.
His wife of more than 25 years who sat in the public gallery was said by the defence to be standing by him.
Dublin-born De Cogan, became leader of the Irish Youth Orchestra in 1978 and represented his country in the European Community Youth Orchestra.
He started his music with legendary Irish violinist Mary Gallagher and continued his studies at the Royal College of Music with Jaraslav Vanecek.
In 1982, he joined the Hall Orchestra in Manchester and became Principal Second Violin in 1986.
During his time in Manchester, he worked extensively with special needs children particularly with the Royal Schools for the Deaf. (the current queen is its patron.)
The Royal Schools has some 78 children – It is claimed that the Royal Schools for the Deaf in Cheadle Hulme had a culture of neglect.Social services in Stockport, the borough in which the school is based, received a number of allegations from former members of staff.
Formerly the Royal School for the Deaf, Queen Victoria bestowed royal patronage upon them during her Jubilee year in 1897. In 2008 the charity changed its name to Seashell Trust and now comprises Royal School Manchester and Royal College Manchester.
Seashell Trust has maintained strong connections with the Royal family and in recent years they have had the pleasure of welcoming several members of the Royal family to their site, notably Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Alongside his orchestral work, he ran his own Irish band, Delginis, and was String Coach and Artistic Director for the Hebridean Youth Project Summer Music School.
He became Head of Strings at Ampleforth College in 2004 and was involved in coaching various youth orchestras, as well as private individual tuition.
He job was to teach classroom music to year 9, and music technology to years 12 and 13.
He provided individual tuition on violin and viola and directed the Pro Musica Ensemble, the Ceilidh Band and jointly directed the College Orchestra.
Alongside his classic music interests, he has played in many folk music ensembles and has worked widely in the recording industry.
School for deaf accused of ‘catalogue of child abuse’
12 Apr 2001
A YEAR-LONG investigation of a leading school for the deaf by police and the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children has disclosed “an appalling catalogue of child abuse and neglect”.
Among the allegations are that some pupils at the Royal School for the Deaf in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, Greater Manchester, suffered broken bones and lost teeth, while others were subjected to unwarranted restraining procedures.
NSPCC officials also investigated claims that deaf or emotionally disturbed children had been punched, tied up and doused with water hoses.
Ian MacLeary, the school’s chief executive, said a new governing body had dealt with many of the issues raised in the report. New training procedures had also been introduced.
A year-long child protection investigation carried out by the NSPCC for the council severely criticised the Royal Schools for the Deaf Manchester over allegations of abuse between 1995 and 2000.
Four members of staff were suspended last year and police
investigations resulted in five cases being passed to the Crown
Prosecution Service. The CPS has rejected four of the cases.
The full NSPCC report is confidential, but the school has agreed
to implement a 21-point action plan published by the council.

9 AUG 2004
Today, despite the year-long inquiry into unexplained injuries to children as well as into poor care and practice, it emerged that no one is likely to face criminal prosecution. Youngsters at the school are regarded as incapable of giving evidence in court.
Last year the MEN revealed how Mark Fisher, 33, – who later resigned in disgust after nine years as a support worker at the school – and two colleagues compiled a dossier detailing 142 allegations of abuse by staff. The evidence was handed to social services and to the police.
Dominic Tinner, development manager at the school, admitted there had been ”deficiencies in management and practice”
A spokesman for the National Deaf Children’s Society, said it was appalled by the NSPCC report and was gravely concerned by the extent of abuse at the school.
Unless significant immediate action was taken by the school, the society would advise parents to move their children elsewhere.
A CHILD welfare expert has been drafted in as the new boss of the troubled Royal Schools for the Deaf, Manchester.

A CHILD welfare expert has been drafted in as the new boss of the troubled Royal Schools for the Deaf, Manchester.
NSPCC director Karen Wright, a 47-year-old mother of four, will take up the chief executive’s post in July.
Her appointment comes just over a week after headteacher Leighton Reed resigned following a year-long inquiry by the NSPCC.
Ms Wright was not involved in the probe, which found “serious problems” with the school at Cheadle Hulme, Stockport.
The investigation was launched after the M.E.N. revealed how whistleblowing staff members compiled a dossier of allegations, including physical abuse of pupils.
It was claimed children suffered broken bones, were tied up in wheelchairs and one was hosed down with cold water.
Ms Wright said: “I was not involved in the investigation, although I was kept aware of it.
The current chief executive, Ian MacLeary, retires on July 1, when he turns 65. The charity says his retirement is unconnected to the scandal.
Four members of staff were suspended by the school, which said there were innocent explanations for injuries suffered by pupils.
Police interviewed dozens of members of staff, but the Crown Prosecution Service decided there was no realistic chance of securing convictions because the alleged victims, who suffer physical and learning disabilities as well as deafness, would be incapable of giving evidence.
Royal School for the Deaf Derby in special measures
Apr 22 2015
It highlighted the principal’s failure to share child protection concerns, which it said “directly impacted upon pupils as they were placed at risk of potential grooming and child sexual exploitation”.
Heath made a special point of conducting orchestras involving young musicians. While still prime minister, he conducted the Academy of the BBC at the 50th anniversary concert in the series for children founded by Sir Robert Mayer. Later, it was through Heath’s help that the European Community Youth Orchestra was set up. He became its president, and conducted it on summer tours in 1978, 1979 and 1980.
A vanished file and troubling claims about Heath and young musicians
The ensemble in question was the European Community Youth Orchestra, and it was about to embark on its inaugural tour of EEC capitals. It was to be a flagship for pan-European cultural co-operation.
The 135 musicians, some of whom were as young as 14, were drawn from the then nine member nations. Heath, an enthusiastic amateur musician who had led the United Kingdom into the European Community five years before, was the orchestra’s founding president. He would also be its guest conductor for that tour and several tours to come.
In an intriguing development, the Mail learned this week that a file relating to Sir Edward and the infamous Paedophile Information Exchange group is one of those missing from official Government records.
It is among 114 missing files concerning child abuse identified by an independent review of how allegations were handled by the Home Office.
The title of the missing document, ‘Edward Heath MP [redacted] RE: PIE’, refers to the activities of the Paedophile Information Exchange.
Investigators discovered that the file disappeared more than 25 years ago after being moved to a Westminster record centre. They concluded that there was no evidence of any orchestrated attempts by officials over three decades to cover up child abuse.
But the unexpected absence of the file raises questions about the exact nature of the connection between Heath and the PIE group.
Further new allegations of sexual abuse and possible official cover-up concerning Sir Edward have come to light. They centre on his relationship with the European Community Youth Orchestra.
A retired senior police officer, who served with several southern forces including Wiltshire, told the Mail that there were ‘always rumours’ about Heath, the former MP for Bexley.
The policeman — a widely respected officer with a distinguished career — asked that due to the sensitivities of the Heath investigations, he remain anonymous. He told us that the rumours did not come with any specific evidence against the former PM.
But he went on: ‘The exception were several allegations made against him in his role with the European Youth Orchestra. I understand there were credible claims that Heath indecently assaulted young people on tours to the Continent which he was leading.
‘These tours took place in the late 1970s or early 1980s.
‘It was never clear how old the victims were, or exactly what happened, and what was alleged was not at the top end of the scale of criminality.
‘Why these were never investigated I cannot say. I suspect it is because they took place overseas and the victims were from other countries.’
Ted Heath would have known Dara De Cogan through the European Community Youth Orchestra.
And Heath links to another Ampleforth paedophile – Piers Grant-Ferris – his father Lord Harvington was good friends with Heath and Thatcher.
Music professor at Ampleforth School in court on sex offence charges
A LEADING Roman Catholic school has been rocked by abuse allegations after a music professor appeared in court accused of sex offences against a girl more than 30 years his junior.
Irish-born classical musician and composer Dara De Cogan, 57, was appointed performing arts professor at Ampleforth College, North Yorkshire, in 2004.
The gifted violinist is charged with 12 counts of sexual activity with a child while in a position of trust.
The court heard the victim was a girl aged 16 and 17 at the time of the alleged offences between December 2007 and December 2009.
Dublin-born De Cogan, became leader of the Irish Youth Orchestra in 1978 and represented his country in the European Community Youth Orchestra.
In 1982, he joined the Hallé Orchestra and has played in folk music ensembles and has worked widely in the recording industry.
His court appearance came just weeks after it was confirmed Ampleforth is to be included in one of three public hearings carried out in the national child sexual abuse inquiry. link
‘Forty’ abusers at Catholic school
November 28 2017
Ampleforth Abbey in North Yorkshire is accused of being a “honeypot” for offenders
Forty monks and teachers have been accused of sexually abusing boys at a leading Roman Catholic school that allegedly became a “honeypot” for offenders, it was revealed yesterday.
Reports of child sex offences at Ampleforth College in North Yorkshire were disclosed yesterday at a public hearing of an inquiry into the handling of abuse allegations by the Catholic church.
As a case study, the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse (IICSA) is examining safeguarding policies at two fee-paying boarding schools run by the English Benedictine Congregation — Ampleforth, and Downside in Somerset. Riel Karmy-Jones, QC, counsel to the inquiry, said that it would consider the prevalence of child abuse within the Catholic church and the extent to which Catholic culture “has or does inhibit the proper investigation and prevention” of such crimes.
Since 1996 three monks and two lay teachers at Ampleforth have been convicted of sex offences against pupils, but Ms Karmy-Jones said that the inquiry had been notified of multiple allegations against about 40 monks and teachers.
In an opening statement on behalf of 29 abuse survivors Richard Scorer, a specialist abuse lawyer at Slater and Gordon, the law firm, said that the “temptation to cover up” such crimes was “particularly acute in institutions associated with the Roman Catholic Church”. He said: “Where reputation is key to an organisation’s existence, there is likely to be an almost overwhelming desire to find some way of avoiding the bad publicity associated with child sex abuse.” Shared awareness among child abusers that their misconduct would be covered up, or dealt with in-house, explained why “some institutions become honeypots where multiple offenders operate”.
Mr Scorer urged the inquiry to consider recommending a change in the law to make failure to report abuse a criminal offence.
On behalf of 14 victims and survivors, David Enright said that it was “very difficult to explain” to a non-Catholic “the power and depth of influence the Catholic church exerts over its members. The abusers were not only men in positions of trust; they were seen by the abused, and their families, as spokesmen for the God they worship. It is hard to imagine a greater hold that a child abuser could have over his victim.”
Matthias Kelly, QC, counsel for Ampleforth, said that the school and the abbey wanted “to apologise for the hurt, injury, distress and damage done to those who were abused as a result of our failings”. He said that the school’s policy today was one of “full, transparent and immediate co-operation with the statutory agencies”.
For Downside and the English Benedictine Congregation, Kate Gallafent, QC, said that the Catholic church was committed to giving the inquiry “its full co-operation. The congregation expresses profound shame that any child has been the victim of sexual abuse whilst in the care of the schools connected with its abbeys.”
Former pupils tell inquiry of sexual abuse by priests at Ampleforth College
Boys as young as six allegedly beaten and sexually assaulted at Roman Catholic school in Yorkshire, inquiry into child abuse hears
29 Nov 2017
Priests at a leading Roman Catholic school abused boys as young as six, including beatings and sexual assaults, the national inquiry into child abuse has heard.
Former pupils at Ampleforth College in North Yorkshire gave evidence to a hearing in London on Wednesday, and written statements by other former pupils were read.
Many of the allegations centred on two priests, Piers Grant-Ferris who was jailed for two years in 2006 for 20 counts of indecent assault on boys in his care, and another priest referred to as RCF4.
One witness who spent 11 years at Ampleforth College and its preparatory school Gilling Castle from 1965 to 1976, said RCF4 had treated him “disgracefully”. “He was physically violent from the outset… I was physically and psychologically abused,” he told the hearing. RCF4 had been “nasty, cruel and physically violent towards me”.
In his second year, when the witness was eight years old, he said Grant-Ferris would walk behind boys sitting at long refectory tables for meals and select children for beatings. “If he stopped behind you and tapped you, then you knew it was you. If he stopped behind someone else and tapped them, one thing that disturbs me to this day is the feeling of relief that it wasn’t going to be me,” he said.
Once he was beaten in the chapel confessional by the priest after being told to take off his clothes. “It was always with his hands … and his hands would always linger on one’s bare bottom after each smack.”
On another occasion, the witness said Grant-Ferris told him to undress and lie face down on the priest’s bed. “He proceeded to take my temperature rectally. I didn’t even know people could have their temperatures taken rectally, I’d only ever had a thermometer put in my mouth. I begged him not to do it, because I didn’t know what was happening, but he continued anyway. I think technically that was a form of rape.”
Grant-Ferris, the son of a Tory peer, was “the full authority figure” the witness told the hearing. At the school, there were “sexual overtones and currents all the time”, he added.
After he left school, the witness suffered a “total psychological collapse” which lasted seven or eight years. “I wasn’t able to do anything, I couldn’t function.”
He said he believed that Basil Hume, who was abbot of Ampleforth Abbey for 13 years until appointed archbishop of Westminster in 1976, had been aware of abuse at the schools. “I have no doubt he knew exactly what was going on at the time.”
Another witness, who was sent to Gilling Castle at the age of six, told the hearing that he and other boys would cry under their blankets at night as monks wearing long black robes patrolled the dormitories. Grant-Ferris was known as “Pervy Piers” among the children, he said.
According to yet another statement, Grant-Ferris was “handsome and aristocratic” with a perpetual mood of excitement.
This witness also described how another teacher had put his hand down the boy’s trousers “to check my breathing” when he was auditioning for the choir. As a result of his experiences, he said: “I became a very quiet child who didn’t talk to people much.”
The inquiry also heard from a female former pupil at Ampleforth College, who left the school in 2010. She said that a music teacher, Dara De-Cogan, had sexually abused her over a period of years. De-Cogan was jailed for 28 months earlier this year pleading guilty to 10 charges of engaging in sexual activity while in a position of trust.
The witness said that he had groomed her from the age of 13, and his abuse resulted in her self-harming. “I thought I deserved to be punished somehow for what I was doing … [self-harming] gave me a sense of numbness.”
On some occasions, De-Cogan gave her marks out of 10 for oral sex, she said. “He would comment on it as if it was a piece of homework.”
Child protection procedures at Ampleforth were “very poor”, she said. Because of earlier convictions of monks, the college had an “obsessive emphasis on the completion of paperwork, but common sense and looking at what was in front of their faces – that went by the wayside.”
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse began a three-week hearing on Monday focusing on the Benedictine schools of Ampleforth and Downside.

Sir Robert Grant-Ferris, Baron Harvington (1907-1997)
Although he appeared to be fairly typical of the Conservative knights of the shire, a landowner and sheep breeder, who was noted for his passion for hunting and whose other principal recreation was yachting, Robert Grant-Ferris was a product of Douai rather than Eton, and he had the unusual distinction of owing his knighthood and later his Barony to the Labour Prime Minister, Harold Wilson. Although he remained a Conservative, he had come to be more a servant of the House of Commons than his party, and he spent his last four years in the House fittingly enough as Chairman of Ways and Means and Deputy Speaker. A man of considerable charm and great energy, he was well-liked in the House and thought of as a possible successor when Dr Horace King retired. However, Selwyn Lloyd was the preferred candidate of the Conservative Party.
Robert Grant Ferris was born on 30 December 1907, the son of a General Practitioner, Dr Robert Francis Ferris, but he seems to have been brought up by his widowed mother, Ellen (d.1955) at Falcon Hill, Cotteridge. Her sister had bought the property in 1892 and Mrs Ferris moved in with her. Robert could often be seen as a child riding his pony in the grounds. The family were strong Roman Catholics and Mrs Ferris seems to have bought Harvington Hall for the Birmingham diocese in 1923. Robert was educated at Douai, the independent school run by the Benedictine monks of Douai Abbey at Woolhampton. Early in life he hyphenated his name, adding an additional Grant to it. He made his early career in a firm of estate agents with whom his family had connections, but his eyes seem to have been firmly fixed elsewhere, on politics – he was elected to the Birmingham City Council in 1933 – and on flying. He joined 605 (County of Warwick) Auxiliary Air Force Squadron in 1933, and by the time the war came was a Flight Lieutenant. He began taking his bar examinations in 1932 and was called to the Bar at the Inner Temple in 1937.
He continued to live with his mother until 1930 when he married Florence Brennan de Vine, daughter of Major Brennan de Vine MC, who died in 1996. They had two children, a son, Piers, who became a monk and taught at Ampleforth, and a daughter, Sheila, with whom he later lived in Jersey. It was fortunate that neither parent lived to see their son identified and tried for the abuse of pupils in his care.
In the 1935 General Election he fought Wigan as a Conservative but lost heavily. Less than two years later, in February 1937, he fought St Pancras North in a by-election and won narrowly. Apart from his staunch support for General Franco in the Spanish Civil War. Grant-Ferris had little impact on the Commons in the late 30s, arguably because he was concentrating on becoming a front-line airman. By 1939 he commanded one of the flights in his squadron and in 1941 was promoted to Wing Commander. During the war he saw active service in France, Malta, Egypt and India.
Towards the end of the war he gave up active service for a return to more active participation in the House of Commons and became PPS to W.S.Morrison, the Minister of Town and Country Planning 1944-45. However, he was swept out of the Commons in the Labour landslide of 1945 by 7,630 votes and did not continue as the Conservative candidate for St Pancras North. Instead he concentrated on his farm and on his directorship of the publishing company, Burns, Oates and Washburne. He became deputy chairman on the Board of the Roman Catholic weekly, The Tablet, a role that he relinquished only in November 1997.
Although a by-election was called in St Pancras North in 1949, Grant-Ferris was not called upon to fight it, and his next attempt at Parliament was in Central Wandsworth, a seat that he failed to take in both the 1950 and 1951 General Elections.
Nantwich, which he won in the 1955 General Election gave him a safe berth until he chose to stand down just before the February 1974 election. In 1962 he became one of the panel of Chairman, who chair standing committees in the Commons. He was well known for his fairness and amiability, and there were many who thought that he would make an excellent Speaker. In 1970 he was appointed deputy Speaker and Chairman of Ways and Means. He had been knighted in 1969 and he was sworn of the Privy Council in 1971. Although not included in Heath’s dissolution honours, he was one of fifteen life peers nominated by Harold Wilson in the summer of 1974 and the only one with no Labour affiliation. He took his title from the house that his mother had given to the Archdiocese of Birmingham.
He always took a considerable interest in Britain’s inland waterways and was one of the Inland Waterways Association’s most influential allies in the House of Commons. He was elected a Vice-President in 1966 and was chairman of the original All-party Waterways Committee.
As privy chamberlain of the sword and cape to Pope Pius XII, Pope John XXIII and Paul VI, Grant-Ferris spent a week each year in attendance on the Pontiff. His strong opposition to abortion was thought to emanate from the Vatican rather than the Catholic hierarchy in this country. He became a Knight Grand Cross of Magistral Grace 1949 and of the Sovereign and Military Order of Malta in 1953.
He was the chairman of the Board of Management of the Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth in St John’s Wood 1963-70.
Grant-Ferris was a notable breeder of sheep, serving as President of the Southdown Sheep Society of England on three occasions (1950-52, 1959-60, 1973) and presiding over the National Sheep Breeders of Britain 1956-58. He became a Vice President of the Smithfield Club in 1963 and President in 1970.
He was a man with many interests, keen on both hunting and golf, but his main passion was his motor yacht, the 43 ton Melita. He entertained both Edward Heath and the Thatchers aboard her but his plans for a summer cruise with the Thatchers around northern France a year before the couple entered Downing Street had to be cancelled when the French police said they could not guarantee the party’s security. He was a member of the Royal Yacht Squadron and of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, and for a time Honorary Admiral of the House of Commons Yacht Club. He was also a member of the Royal and Ancient at St Andrews, the MCC and, of course, the Carlton Club.
After his retirement from the House he lived abroad for tax reasons, initially in Malta and then in Jersey, although he would contribute to debates in the Lords when the taxman let him return. In 1980, he was one of those who rebelled over the school transport clauses of Mark Carlisle’s Education Bill, which would have imposed charges on the ‘free’ transport enjoyed by students at faith schools.
Top public school suspends child sex charges teacher

017
THE head of music at a prestigious private school has been suspended following allegations he sexually assaulted a pupil three decades ago.
Sean Ambrose Farrell, 49, denied two charges of indecent assault and two charges of gross indecency when he appeared before York magistrates last week.
All four offences are alleged to have been committed against a child aged under 14 at the time at Ampleforth College’s junior school.

Farrell, of Riddings Road, Ilkley, was released on bail on condition that he has no unsupervised contact with children aged under 16.
He has been removed from his post at Wellington College, in Berkshire – which counts the late actor Sir Christopher Lee and Will Young among its alumni – several months ago after North Yorkshire Police launched an investigation.
A Wellington College spokesman said: “In line with our safeguarding procedures, Wellington suspended the member of staff concerned and excluded him from the school site as soon as it was made aware that the police were investigating these accusations.”

Monk ‘who ran sex club involving young boys’ at country’s top Catholic School ‘remained in his job for eight years after allegations were first made’
Apr 5 2017
Father Jeremy Sierla allegedly ran ‘sex club’ for boys at Ampleforth College
He remained at Catholic school for eight years after allegations first made
Police told he would make pupils perform sex acts in their pyjamas
Investigation began in 2004 but no charges were ever brought against him
Detectives spoke to more than a dozen young men who attended the school’s Junior House between 1990 and 1993 when Father Jeremy was housemaster.
Some recalled the monk whipping boys’ bottoms with his habit, encouraging the pupils to tie him up, showering naked with them and putting his hands under their duvets, the Times reported.
Photos and video clips – none indecent – of Ampleforth pupils were found on Father Jeremy’s computer, including one of a 12-year-old boy holding a rose in his mouth.
Father Sierla, 59, lived and worked at £30,000-a-year college, pictured, until 2012, despite accusations first being made against him eight years previously
The investigation was triggered when the same boy, in his early 20s by 2004, made allegations to police about abuse he claimed Father Jeremy had subjected him to.
The monk was not charged after prosecutors ruled there was insufficient evidence against him, and the CPS said the case file was destroyed years ago, the Times reported.
Father Jeremy continued to work in the abbey shop from 2004 to 2012 and posed for photographs to promote Ampleforth’s own brand Abbey Beer.
A music teacher, Dara de Cogan, who joined Ampleforth in 2004 was jailed last week for sexually abusing a female student during violin lessons.
Dara de Cogan, 58, received a 28-month sentence and will be on the sex offenders register for a decade.
A school spokesman said that Father Jeremy’s continued presence at Ampleforth was approved at a meeting of safeguarding professionals in 2004 and that his case was reviewed again in 2007 by an independent safeguarding commission.
It took a further five years before the Department for Education (DfE)told Ampleforth he should not be allowed on school grounds.
TheDfE said that it was unable to discuss individual cases but stressed it was ‘paramount that children are protected at school and that there are robust safeguards in place’.
It added: ‘Where schools fail to meet standards, we will not hesitate to take action.’
Ampleforth College will be focus of inquiry into abuse
May 27, 2017
The preliminary hearing relating to Ampleforth College will be held in London on June 6 to examine procedural issues ahead of the full inquiry which is due to start in December.
Inquiry officials have previously revealed more than 4,000 potentially relevant documents have been obtained from the English Benedictine Congregation and from schools including Ampleforth.

Tories BOW to wealthy antiques dealers and DROP ban on elephant ivory in manifesto
Foxes, badgers, robins and now ELEPHANTS: hidden manifesto plan by Tories to allow ivory trade
Under David Cameron the Conservatives had pledged – along with other UK political parties – to put into place a ban on ivory trading. This follows bans by China, the US and other important ivory trading countries to end domestic trades in ivory by the end of 2017.
But there is no mention of the ban in Theresa May’s Tory 2017 manifesto. Sneakily, the Tories have decided to DROP their previous commitment to introducing a total ban on ivory trade in Britain. This comes after heavy pressure from wealthy antiques traders who have been lobbying Teresa May hard to drop the ban on ivory.
She worked in senior management for P&O and DMG World Media (Daily Mail and General Trust plc) before becoming the Conservative Party’s fundraising director.[2]
The Busy Borwicks
Son of Kensington MP Lady Borwick’s curious connections to the people who ensured both Brexit and the election of Donald Trump revealed
A director of a multitude of companies, in spite of being just 29 years old, “new media expert” Thomas Borwick – whose mother was forced to apologise “after using City Hall resources to promote her husband’s [now defunct] electric vehicle business” in 2009– it now transpires, was not only Vote Leave’s chief technology officer but previously worked with SCL/Cambridge Analytica and AggregateIQ. Borwick currently touts himself to his 202 followers on Twitter as the founder of a political canvasing consultancy named Kan.to, an organisation that he boldy claims “will out-organise, out-plan, out-leaflet, out-twitter, out-work and out-vote all of its opponents”.
Mercer, one of the owners of the far-right Breitbart News Network as well as being a major shareholder in Cambridge Analytica, is a man whose “sinister” connections to both Trump and Nigel Farage have rightly been widely criticised. On that basis, that the son of fervent Brexiteer Lady Borwick – a woman whose constituents voted 69% to ‘Remain’ and whose domain was home to a greater proportion of EU nationals than any other London borough in 2016 – has links to this billionaire and his activities should only encourage the voters of Kensington to ditch her and her out-of-touch party.

He said: ‘At some point they started pushing and shoving – three at that stage, of which only two were particularly aggressive. I couldn’t hypothecate (?) or guess what was on their minds. At some point my food and drink spilled and was taken from me.
‘The rest of my friends quickly came outside. From our group absolutely all of them did nothing aggressive to the ladies, but they continued to react though and many of my friends were attacked.
The computer app writer was queuing with friends when they became embroiled in a row with the women over space.
‘Tom was among a group of six friends on a night out in London,’ said Lady Borwick, who was previously Boris Johnson’s deputy.
Revealed: The ‘triple dipper’ Conservative MP who is paid nearly £100,000 a year for three elected jobs
Victoria Borwick, the MP for Kensington, is paid an extra £30,000 a year as both a councillor at Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and member of the London Assembly
Mrs Borwick, 59, whose application to replace Sir Malcolm Rifkind in the seat was personally backed by London Mayor Boris Johnson, defended her decision.
She can use the title “Lady” because she is married to Lord Borwick, a hereditary peer who has sat in the House of Lords since 2013. The couple live in a £6.6million home in Chelsea and have four children.
Mrs Borwick’s predecessor as MP for Kensington Sir Malcolm Rifkind had complained that it was “unrealistic” to live on £60,000 shortly before quitting after being caught in a cash for access investigation by The Daily Telegraph in February.
She paid tribute to Sir Malcolm Rifkind, saying: “Many people will be sad to see someone so distinguished leave. They are very grateful for all that he did in services to our country and also to Kensington. I have big shoes to fill.”
“The Tories got rid of one Rifkind (Cash for Access) and now replaced him with ‘Madam Rifkind’, who thinks it is perfectly reasonable to use these jobs to rake in as much money as possible.”
Role reversal? Could this be the first time a young East Ender gets to look down on a Victoria Lady?
Since the Tories headed up the Coalition after the 2010 General Election, they have been making cuts in public spending and presiding over austerity measures which have made life harder for ordinary Eastenders. Government attacks such as the bedroom tax and welfare benefit tax have left many East End families only able to buy the cheapest, unhealthiest food – or forced them to supplement their own buying with trips to the food bank.
Against this backdrop, Lady Borwick, aka Assembly Member Victoria Lorne Peta Borwick, a Deputy Mayor of London, deigned to drop into Tower Hamlets last week to claim the credit for Tower Hamlets’ work in promoting good health in its schools (that’s the schools which Lady Borwick’s party is trying to dismantle).
2007:
Trump crony Rudy Giuliaini drew inspiration from Winston Churchill in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terror attack on New York, he revealed.
Mr Giuliani cited the alliance between Churchill and Roosevelt, Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan and Tony Blair and George W Bush as evidence of the powerful bond between Britain and the US. He would make it his mission as President to strengthen the relationship further.
The lunch was attended by about 100 wealthy Americans and dozens of London-based US correspondents.
Conservative mayoral contender Victoria Borwick, who has pledged to introduce Giuliani-style zero tolerance policing, was the only senior Tory present at the lunch at the Hyde Park Mandarin hotel.
“He is a brilliant political leader,” she said.
Mr Giuliani is due to meet Margaret Thatcher tonight at the same hotel before delivering his keynote speech on his manifesto for a 2008 Republican presidential victory.
Back in 1984, Giuliani was U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. During that time, allegations began to surface about physical and sexual abuse perpetrated on children at the day care center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
Giuliani knew there were multiple children being abused. And yet he did not indict anyone. Not receiving justice from Giuliani, the parents pursued civil action. The government ended up paying 11 victims $2.7 million, but protected its image, thanks to Rudy.
Lady Borwick, a Tory councillor in Kensington & Chelsea, spent eleven years as Director of the Olympia Fine Art and Antiques Fair and a further period of time assisting with the International Fine Art Fair in New York. What better experience could there be to prepare one to understand the problems of the East End?

In the inaugural Thaw Lecture (held on 5 May 2015), Alastair Laing, 2014-15 Thaw Senior Fellow at the Drawing Institute and longtime curator of paintings for the National Trust in the United Kingdom, investigates the audience for, and function of, the 10,000 drawings Rococo master François Boucher claimed to have produced.
The BSR was founded in 1901 and received its first Royal Charter in June 1912. Following the International Exhibition in Rome of 1911 celebrating 50 years since Italian reunification, the site of the magnificent Edwin Lutyens-designed British Pavilion was granted in perpetuity to the British nation on condition that it be used exclusively as a British research centre for archaeology, history and the fine arts. In 1916, following significant adaptation by Lutyens, the BSR moved into our current home in via Gramsci, in Rome’s Valle Giulia.
Over the BSR’s first century our facilities for scholars have been substantially extended and refurbished, most recently through generous help from the Packard Humanities Institute and Lord and Lady Sainsbury of Preston Candover’s Linbury Trust, amongst many other sponsors. In 2002 the purpose-built lecture theatre and gallery spaces were opened by our President, HRH Princess Alexandra
These used to rent a villa on Ischia during the hot summer months with the purpose of abusing street urchins in Naples.
… Alastair who apparently wrote the book ‘Baroque and Rococo Architecture and Decoration’ with Blunt. Although cunningly enough the Wiki link shows a slightly different spelling of Laing. (An attempt to hide a link no doubt) The book is given as a source for a study on a baroque architect in NAPLES so ties in nicely. This is a deliciously obvious example of how they close documents from view for 76 years in order to hide from us the fact that we now have a link between Colin Peters and Blunt, both guests of Elm Guest House. The link being that they both knew Alastair Laing, one wrote a book with him and the other was arrested with with him.
Francesco Antonio Picchiatti (Ferrara, 1619–1694) was an Italian architect of the Baroque period active in Naples. He is also called Picchetto. He was son of Bartolommeo Picchiatti, who also served as an architect in Naples.

Truthseeker1 @thewakeupcall09Pedophiles arrested in Britain eirv16n08, p42Pedophiles arrested in Britain eirv16n08, p43Investigators working on the Colin Peters case had interrogated at east one senior member of the House of Lords, one vicar in West London and officials in Whitehall, “but the police did not have sufficient evidence or manpower to pursue their suspicions,” the Telegraph reported.So who was the paedophile senior member of the House of Lords in 1989 ?Is Colin Peters connected to Italian paedophile Alessandro Moncini ?Alessandro Moncini, a citizen and resident of Italy, appeals his conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 2252(a) for mailing child pornography from Italy to an undercover officer in the United States. He raises three issues on appeal: (1) whether the district court lacked jurisdiction over him; (2) whether the government should have been required to prove that he knew he was violating American law, or, in the alternative, whether the district court should have recognized ignorance of the law as an affirmative defense; and (3) whether the district court erred in finding that he was not entrapped. We affirm.FACTSMoncini was contacted by Detective William H. Dworin of the Los Angeles Police Department after Dworin discovered Moncini’s name and address in a search of an American pornography collector. Dworin sent Moncini a letter containing a photograph of a nude girl, inquiring whether Moncini would be interested in trading child pornography. Dworin led Moncini to believe the American pornography collector was a mutual acquaintance.Moncini wrote back and asked for more pictures. Dworin complied, but Moncini did not reciprocate by sending similar pictures in return. Dworin eventually asked Moncini to send him some child pornography, offering to send Moncini more explicit material if Moncini would send him child pornography to prove his involvement “with the young ones.” Moncini responded by sending some pages torn from a commercially sold pornography magazine. He subsequently mailed additional pictures and a videotape. Moncini concedes that these pictures and videotape were child pornography of the type proscribed by 18 U.S.C. § 2252.Moncini was arrested when he arrived in New York in early 1988. He was tried in the Central District of California, which includes Valencia, the place to which the photos were sent. His motion to dismiss the indictment for lack of jurisdiction was denied on the ground that the mailings were continuing offenses which continued to take place as Moncini’s letters traveled from Italy to California, giving the court territorial jurisdiction. Alternately, the court found that extraterritorial jurisdiction would be proper.Moncini waived jury trial. His principal defense was ignorance of the law. The district court received uncontroverted evidence in the form of an affidavit by a former member of the Italian bar that the mailing of child pornography is legal in Italy so long as it is not for commercial purposes or purposes of public display. Moncini asserts that he was unaware that his mailing of child pornography was a crime in the United States. The court convicted him and sentenced him to a year-and-a-day custodial sentence. He has completed his sentence and is now at liberty.law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/882/401/207502/
Will you please make available details of all communications between yourself and ‘Community Care’ / ‘CareSpace’ in relation to the ‘Carespace’ thread of 23 February 2012 entitled ‘What do you think of children’s services inspection?
In particular will you please refer directly to any issues around the postings by a contributor ‘Rupert M’ and ‘Boxerdog’ which ‘Community Care’ advise me were removed as a result of direct allegations of them being libellous towardsJohn Goldup, deputy Head of OFSTED.
Will you please confirm that this same John Goldup is the same person who was a senior social work manager within Islington at the time of the Islington child sexual abuse scandal of the 1980’s and 1990’s.
Following yesterday’s publication, Mrs Bottomley issued a statement saying she had instructed Islington Council to explain its actions ‘as soon as possible’.
The council also issued a statement from Labour councillor Sandy Marks, who chairs the social services committee.
‘The case of Roy Caterer was the subject of a Hertfordshire police investigation. No evidence or information was passed to the council.’
We (The Standard) reply: This is clearly wrong. Caterer was only imprisoned for sexually abusing children in care when a determined Islington social worker found some of his victims and went to local police. They liaised with Hertfordshire police. That social worker wrote a report for her superiors and no action was taken on it.
Councillor Marks also claimed children interviewed by the Standard were paid.
And Mrs Margaret Hodge, leader of Islington Council, alleged in a radio interview with LBC Newstalk Radio that our reporters sat outside childrens home enticing children with £50 bribes for stories.
We reply: These allegations are absolutely untrue
THE Government’s childcare watchdog has been heavily criticised after appointing to a senior post an official embroiled in a notorious paedophile scandal.
Ofsted has named John Goldup as its social care director – a job which gives him effective control of the protection of youngsters in care homes and nurseries across the UK.
At the time of his appointment, Mr Goldup said: I am absolutely convinced that effective inspection and regulation are the key to driving up improvement.
But during the Eighties and early Nineties, Mr Goldup was the second most senior figure in the children’s department at Islington Council in North London.
The council was savaged in a series of official reports after whistleblowers revealed how a child sex ring had operated throughout the borough’s care homes for a number of years.
An independent inquiry headed by Ian White – then director of social services in Oxfordshire – found that the council was in a deplorable state.
The report added: Line managers should have visited children’s homes, should have taken necessary action, should have spoken to children and … should have responded to allegations as serious as the ones made and now investigated.
Mr Goldup had left his post by the middle of 1994 and has spent the past 15 years with another London borough, most recently in charge of services for the elderly and disabled.
In 1992, the council was asked by police investigating the abuse allegations for paperwork relating to Nick Rabet, who helped run one of the homes. He was later exposed as a key organiser of the sex ring. Despite the existence of a number of documents raising concerns about him, in particular his unhealthy relationship with a 13-year-old boy, Rabet’s file had mysteriously disappeared. At the same time, four staff who had raised concerns about the 58-year-old and other suspected paedophiles working in Islington’s homes were sacked, demoted or threatened.
Rabet killed himself in Thailand three years ago while awaiting trial there for child abuse. He was charged with molesting 30 underage boys and was believed to have abused up to 300 more.
Detective Chief Superintendent Kevin Moore, of Sussex Police, which investigated Rabet, said Islington actively thwarted attempts in the early Nineties to bring Rabet and his cohorts to justice.
He said: If we’d had the usual co-operation that you expect and deserve from other agencies, it’s a very strong likelihood we would have got a conviction.
Clearly, if you don’t get that co-operation – and in this case we didn’t – you cannot get a case to put before the court, and justice was denied.
We are all in a position of trust and of trusting each other to do what’s right, but in this case that trust was abused.
When it was founded, Ofsted was responsible largely for school inspections. But in 2007, its remit was significantly extended to cover children’s social care and support services.
A spokesman for Ofsted said: John Goldup has a long and distinguished track record in delivering care services, most recently leading Tower Hamlets to an outstanding rating for its adult services for five years in a row.
There is nothing to question John Goldup’s integrity or his ability to fully and professionally carry out his role at Ofsted, a role he was appointed to following a fully independent and robust recruitment process.
The panel were fully aware of every aspect of his employment history throughout this process.
While allegations relating to Islington are ultimately a matter for the council, we are confident there is nothing to support suggestions that he acted, then or at any other time, in anything other than a professional manner.
Ofsted has full confidence in John in his vital new role as director of social care development.
‘I want to change perceptions of Ofsted’ – John Goldup
Rifts are deepening with the Association for Directors of Children’s Services and local authorities over unannounced inspections and the criteria used to mark safeguarding services as inadequate. Relations with the ADCS fell to an all-time low in October with numerous allegations that Ofsted’s inspection regime was actually working to undermine public confidence in children’s services.
Ofsted social care chief John Goldup to quit with Debbie Jones taking over
05 March 2013
Ofsted’s deputy chief inspector and director of social care John Goldup is to leave the inspectorate by “mutual agreement” this month and will be replaced by the current president of the Association of Directors of Children’s Services, CYP Now can exclusively reveal.
CYP Now has learned that ADCS president Debbie Jones, who is director of children’s services in Lambeth, will take on the role from September.
Only last month Ofsted announced that Jones would join as London regional director for education, learning and skills.
Goldup joined Ofsted in September 2009 as director of social care development, before being appointed deputy chief inspector in January 2012.
An Ofsted spokeswoman confirmed that Goldup will leave “by mutual agreement” at the end of March 2013.
“In his three and a half years with Ofsted, John has reformed social care regulation and inspection, and has firmly established Ofsted as a powerful force for improvement in social care services for children,” the inspectorate said in a statement.
“Having led a step change in this area of Ofsted’s work, John has concluded that it is time to take his career in a different direction.
“He has agreed with the Ofsted board that this is the right moment to leave the organisation, and the board and his colleagues wish him every success as he moves on to face new and different challenges.
“Debbie Jones will take over on the national lead for social care when she joins Ofsted as regional director, London, on 1 September 2013. In the interim Sally Rowe will be acting national director, social care, as well as regional director for the north west.”
A former senior official at children’s care watchdog Ofsted has apologised for the organisation’s failure to uncover widespread sexual exploitation in Rotherham.
John Goldup, who joined Ofsted as director of social care in 2009 and was appointed deputy chief inspector in 2012, said that the watchdog did not focus as it should have done on the dangers of child sex exploitation in inspections in the South Yorkshire town.
Rotherham Council was last week taken under Government control and its entire political leadership resigned after the Casey Report’s withering indictment of its failure to tackle monumental levels of child sexual exploitation.
Louise Casey’s report came after an inquiry by Alexis Jay last year found that more than 1,400 children had been subjected to rape, violence and trafficking by gangs of mainly Asian men over a 16-year period.
Giving evidence to the House of Commons Communities and Local Government Committee, Mr Goldup was asked whether he wanted to apologise to children in Rotherham.
The former deputy chief inspector stressed that he could not speak on behalf of Ofsted, but told MPs: “Yes I do. I agree entirely with what (Ofsted head) Sir Michael Wilshaw said to the Education Select Committee two weeks ago, that we didn’t get it right with child sexual exploitation in Rotherham. He apologised for that and I apologise for that.
“The inspection frameworks at the time didn’t have the focus on child sexual exploitation that they would and should have had if we had known and understood then what we know and understand now.
“It is clear from reading back over the inspection reports that we didn’t appreciate the scale of the child sexual exploitation issue in Rotherham and we didn’t scrutinise sufficiently the effectiveness with which it was being responded to.”
New head, John Goldup, for board tasked with turning around ‘inadequate’ children’s services in Bucks
21st April 2015
An expert has been drafted in to head up a team tasked with turning around ‘inadequate’ children’s services in Buckinghamshire.
The government has appointed former deputy chief inspector John Goldup has been appointed chair of Bucks Children’s Improvement Board.
It comes after a series of recommendations made by Government consultants, who examined the county council’s plans for improvement following Ofsted’s ‘inadequate’ rating of its Children’s social care services last August.
Mr Goldup, who also held the post of National Director of Social Care at Ofsted, was formally appointed by the Secretary of State for Education, will chair his first meeting on the independent body on Thursday.
Chief Executive Chris Williams who previously chaired the board, has welcomed his appointment.
He said: “A new independent chair will ensure both complete transparency and an extra dimension of challenge to the work of the Improvement Board.
“We have robust plans in place to improve services as quickly as we can and with John’s chairmanship I know we can deliver on our aspirations.
“Stepping aside from chairing the Board will allow me to fully concentrate on supporting my managers to drive the Improvement Plan at pace.”
Last month, Children’s services in the county were judged ‘inadequate’ by government inspectors in a national study – placing care provisions in Buckinghamshire alongside scandal-hit Rotherham.
Buckinghamshire County Council was one of seven local authorities in Britain to be named as inadequate by Ofsted, after failings were first identified last August.
Hours after the announcement, the council’s chief executive Chris Williams revealed at a County Hall meeting that independent advisors had recommended he should step down from his role as chairman of the authority’s improvement board.
The report judged Bucks as inadequate alongside the councils in Birmingham, Coventry, Knowsley, Manchester, Slough and Rotherham.
In the third of our special series on Islington’s notorious kids’ homes, Emma Youle meets survivors – and hears how their lives were torn apart by the very institutions that should have protected them
Calling for a full police-led inquiry, Imogen said: “Those people who were running children’s homes, they need to be accountable. The whole structure has to change. It’s like the Church – it’s no good going after individual priests. You need to go after the establishment that harboured these people.”
NEXT WEEK: In the final part of this series, a care worker and survivors who lived at Gisburne House home speak out – and will Jeremy Corbyn support demands for a police-led inquiry?
So this is where it comes full circle back to Peter Righton – also an Anglican Franciscan for a while – & the @c_of_e monastic movement(s)
so favoured by Bishop Peter Ball he simply had to set up his own entire movement, just like Father Trevor Huddlestone’s alma mater the college & community of the Resurrection, Mirfield
Peter Righton’s time in retreat as an Anglican Franciscan is also central to the involvement of the Southbank Trio & Albany Trust
Hubert Brasier, Theresa May’s father joined the priests at the Community of the Resurrection Seminary School in Mirfield, West Yorkshire.In years to come the Community of the Resurrection would become known for the systematic sexual abuse of children at the seminary by the Italian Verona brothers, who were rampant sex offenders in the 1960’s and 1970’s.
Peter Righton has since died. His partner, Richard Alston, who lived with him at Thornham Magna, has since been convicted and imprisoned for sexual offences against children.

A CONVICTED sex offender named by the inquiry told The Mirror last night he is no longer a threat to children.
Michael Taylor said: “I don’t work with children and I have no intention of doing anything like that.” In an emotional interview he added: “I am not working with children and I have not been for many years.”
Taylor, 58 – No2 in charge at Bersham Hall home in Wrexham, Clwyd – was convicted by the town’s magistrates in 1980 of two indecent assaults and given two years’ probation. In 1993 he was cautioned for six more indecent assaults.
He is one of 28 “missing” people named in the report as potential dangers to young people.
The list was circulated to agencies across the UK amid fears that many could still be working with children.
But Taylor, a cabbie in Nantwich, Cheshire, till he retired after a heart attack last month, said he has lived openly at the same house for 20 years.
He had no idea what his neighbours’ reaction would be to revelation of his sex crimes. “I just want to be left alone.”
A social worker who abused two boys at an Islington Council children’s home in the 1970s was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment earlier this week.
Michael Taylor pleaded guilty at London’s Snaresbrook crown court to seven counts of indecent assault at Gisburne House.
When he left Gisburne House he became deputy superintendent of Bersham Hall children’s home in North Wales where he repeatedly assaulted two 11-year-old boys in his care.
Taylor was arrested after the people he abused, now adults, went to the police. He was previously convicted of two indecent assaults in 1980. His name will be added to the sex offenders’ register.
Robert Coghlan, a diplomat, was jailed for three years yesterday for smuggling a hoard of “filthy” child pornography into Britain. The divorced father of two, the first British envoy to be convicted of such an offence, spent thousands of pounds in Japanese sex-shops.
Coghlan, 54, was building up his illicit video collection when he helped the Princess of Wales around Tokyo last year. He ended up with the biggest consignment of paedophile material seized by Customs recently – sacks of tapes depicting boys as young as 11 being abused.
Passing sentence at Southwark Crown Court, Judge Gerald Butler QC told the former first secretary: “There is no evidence … that you used or intended to use this obscene material for any purpose other than for your own sexual gratification but a custodial sentence is inevitable. I am satisfied beyond doubt that you always knew that large numbers of these video cassettes involved the exploitation, abuse and degradation of children. If it were not for men such as you to provide a market for this filth, there would be no incentive for others to manufacture and sell them for their own profit.”
Coghlan, of Danbury Street, Islington, north London, was found guilty on Thursday of one charge of smuggling 109 obscene videos into Britain last March. The court heard he worked four and a half years in Tokyo. When told he was being transferred to Madrid, he “desperately” tried to ensure his “precious” films arrived safely.
He hoped his status and a false last-minute declaration that he had no prohibitive goods among his shipped belongings would be enough. But Customs men searched some of his luggage and found the tapes. Coghlan’s defence was that as he had always believed his belongings would be shipped directly to Spain, he could never have had any intention of smuggling them into Britain.
When he found they were coming here, he had “no option” but to lie on a Customs clearance form.
Denying he was a paedophile, he insisted he ended up with the videos only because he could not properly translate the labels. Coghlan said that he had never been certain what he was buying, an assertion rejected by the judge.
A government spokesman said Coghlan’s case was being examined under the Foreign Office’s disciplinary procedure. A Foreign Office spokesman refused to say whether Coghlan’s dismissal was a foregone conclusion.
However, another source said it was “inconceivable” that the envoy would be kept on.

Revealed: Police were ‘given name of paedophile priest Father Eugene as early as 1992’
08 June 2017
Eugene Fitzpatrick
The name of a paedophile priest who raped and assaulted boys for decades before being jailed last month was handed to police in 1992
“Father Eugene” was identified in information about suspected child abuse given to former Islington social worker and whistleblower Liz Davies, who passed it on to police.
Dr Davies contacted the Gazette after reading our story last week about Father Eugene Fitzpatrick, who was jailed for 22 years for carrying out horrific abuse at Our Lady and Saint Joseph Roman Catholic Church in Balls Pond Road and elsewhere in Islington.
It follows an investigation by the Gazette that revealed new evidence about child abuse in the borough in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s.
Dr Davies and former Evening Standard journalist Eileen Fairweather, who blew the lid on the borough’s child abuse scandal in 1992, have both confirmed the name “Father Eugene” was passed to Scotland Yard.
Liz said: “I had left employment with Islington Council when I received information from other social workers about allegations of abuse of children which included the name of a ‘Father Eugene’. There was no surname at that time and I did not know who he was.
“I reported this to Supt Mike Hames in person who was head of the obscene publications squad at the time. I understand he sent this information to the Islington police. The Det Insp at the time was Sue Akers.”
Eileen added: “His name was included in information about people preying on kids in care and it was passed to police. Liz and others, and the Evening Standard, were consistently asking the police to investigate it.”
Scotland Yard denied it had been aware of Fitzpatrick earlier than 2007.
“Police became aware of the allegations initially in 2007 but were unable to substantiate them with the victim and so could not proceed further,” said a spokesman.
“The allegations again were brought to police attention in October 2014 and an investigation launched.”
Fitzpatrick’s first known attack was on the first boy, who was aged under eight, when the pervert was 17.
It happened in Tufnell Park in 1965.
There were a further 10 counts of sexual assaults on the same boy until 1973, by which time he was training to be a priest.
He raped the second boy on multiple occasions between 1986 and 1992.

Maddie Noonan, 59, who used to live near Our Lady and Saint Joseph Church, told the Hackney Gazette of her shock at the actions of the priest she considered a family friend, and who conducted her wedding.
“He was the local parish priest. We lived in Balls Pond Road and moved to Mildmay Park.
“He married me and he was a very close friend of my grandmother. He was always in our house, we loved him.”
Maddie, who now lives in Ireland, added: “I was very close to him as an adult.
Father Eugene Fitzpatrick worked at a Catholic Church in Hackney
31 May 2017
Father Eugene Fitzpatrick, 68, was found guilty of rape and assault charges at Blackfriars Crown Court on 25 May 2017 and has been jailed for 22 years.
Fitzpatrick raped and assaulted one boy while working at Our Lady and Saint Joseph Roman Catholic Church in Balls Pond Road. He also indecently assaulted another boy throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
Fitzpatrick was found guilty of 11 counts of indecent assault and indecency with a child relating to the first victim, for which he received a total of five years.
Detective Constables Lorraine Simpson and Klementina Balint, the investigating officers, said:
“Eugene Fitzpatrick is a predatory sex offender who abused his position of trust, preying on vulnerable youngsters and subjecting them to horrific sexual abuse over a period of years.
“In addition to the two known victims in this case, I believe that there may be additional survivors of Fitzpatrick’s actions who continue to suffer in silence. I urge anyone who has been abused by Eugene Fitzpatrick to contact police without delay.
“Specially trained officers will support victims throughout the investigative process and there are a number of additional support pathways that we are able to signpost.”
Anyone who thinks they are a victim of Eugene Fitzpatrick can contact the Met’s Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command by dialling 101.
“The offences of which Father Eugene has been convicted are horrific and represent the gravest breach of trust. The survivors of this appalling abuse are to be commended for their courage in coming forward and giving evidence.
“This case shows that it is still possible to secure convictions many years after the offending took place and that investigation of non-recent child abuse offences should remain a police priority.
“We understand that The Islington Survivors’ Network (ISN), had information about a Father Eugene going back to the 1990s and have contacted the police about this.
“Clearly, this requires thorough investigation: were possible opportunities missed to prosecute Father Eugene sooner?
“We strongly support the call made by ISN for an independent police-led investigation working towards the prosecutions of those who perpetrated or facilitated institutional or organised child abuse in Islington and the surrounding area, and who have still not been brought to justice.”
Father Eugene Fitzpatrick, 68, was sentenced to 22 years behind bars and placed on the sex offenders register for life after being found guilty of seven counts of indecent assault, four counts of indecency with a child, and two counts of buggery, all committed between the 1960s and 1990s.
Fitzpatrick, of Raymond Lane, Canterbury, was parish priest at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Harpenden from 1995 until 2001
Detectives are appealing for additional victims to come forward after Fitzpatrick was sentenced following a trial at Blackfriars Crown Court last month.
“In addition to the two known victims in this case, we believe that there may be additional survivors of Fitzpatrick’s actions who continue to suffer in silence. I urge anyone who has been abused by Eugene Fitzpatrick to contact police without delay.
The indecent assault and indecency offences were committed against one victim in the Islington area. The buggery offences were committed against a second victim at Our Lady St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Hackney.
My little list begins with three odious people who were friends and contemporaries at York University – Harvey Proctor, Michael Brown and Christine Holman, now Christine Hamilton. I don’t know what was going on at York at the time, but the York University Conservative Association spawned some deeply unpleasant people.
Harvey Proctor is legendary. He was Chair of the York University Conservative Association between 1967-69, then the Assistant Director (1969-71) and a member of the executive council (1983-87) of the hard right Monday Club. He was the Tory MP for Basildon (1979-83) and then for Billericay (1983-87). In the early 80s some mind-boggling rumours circulated about Harvey Proctor, rumours so florid that I didn’t believe them. He was alleged to be taking part in extreme S&M activities with under-aged boys. ‘Private Eye’ ran a few articles about him – he was featured in their ‘The New Boys’ column and I expected him to sue them. However he didn’t. Proctor became a source of fascination to the ‘Eye’ and sometime later they published allegations that a building that he owned was housing members of the League of St George (a far-right group) and then allegations that someone had been walking past his London flat, heard guttural noises coming from within and observed bloody handprints on the outside of the building. Interestingly, no-one from the Tories denied these stories, they just ignored them. The rumours continued to circulate and eventually some Tories started expressing the opinion that Proctor was a serious embarrassment and that they’d rather he stood down.
In 1986 ‘The People’ newspaper claimed that Proctor was in same sex relationships with males and then the shit really hit the fan – in 1987 Proctor was found guilty of gross indecency and fined after participating in spanking sessions in which young male prostitutes were tied up. The prostitutes involved were not ‘children’, but they were under the legal age of consent for gay sex between men, which at the time was 21. Proctor and others who were charged under similar circumstances now angrily point out that they were targeted for being gay and that the men that they were having sex with would these days be over the age of consent. I take their point about the relevant changes in the law – but whereas some of these men were charged for offences involving young men between the ages of 16 and 21, there were constant allegations that some of them had sometimes been sexually involved with boys under the age of 16. Furthermore these rent boys had frequently been trafficked into prostitution at the age of 16-17 after leaving children’s homes, where they had been ‘groomed’ by years of sexual abuse – often accompanied by violence if they resisted. This was certainly the pattern regarding the kids from north Wales children’s homes – and John Allen, the owner of the Bryn Alyn Community, was known to own brothels in London and Brighton where children formerly in his care were sent after they left the children’s homes. The boys pimped by Allen also alleged that he was involved with a major crime ring dealing in child porn and drugs. The defence used by Proctor et al never involves answering any difficult questions about where those rent boys had come from and why they were so willing to have sex with rather deranged sometimes elderly MPs whom they could not have found attractive in any way.
Proctor resigned his seat after his conviction and Theresa Gorman succeeded him. In 1988 Proctor established a shop in Richmond-Upon-Thames selling shirts, ties and waistcoats, after receiving a grant from the Gov’ts Enterprise Allowance Scheme. Proctor had considerable help establishing this business. The Tory Whip Tristan Garel-Jones organised the raising of the sum of £75,000 and over the following years, as Proctor’s shop repeatedly encountered financial difficulties, Tory MPs and former Tory MPs came to the rescue. Some of the people who were financially involved with Proctor’s business were Jeffrey Archer, Michael Heseltine, David Heathcote-Amory, Mark Lennox-Boyd, Sir Nicholas Bonsor, Richard Shephard, David Evans, Neil Hamilton, Christine Hamilton, Tim Yeo, Michael Brown, David Ashby, Sir Neil Thorne, William Benyon and Sir Charles Morrison. Charles Morrison was the older brother of Sir Peter Morrison whom it is now admitted was molesting boys in their mid-teens and younger, including boys resident in children’s homes in north Wales. Heseltine and Archer invested more than £100,000 in Proctor’s shop.
There was a punch-up in the shop in 1992. Two young men entered and asked Proctor ‘have you any ties for tying up rent boys before you spank them?’ Proctor tried to get them out of the shop and a fight broke out. Incredibly enough Neil and Christine Hamilton were in the shop at the time and Hamilton came to Proctor’s assistance when the young men assaulted Proctor. Proctor was punched in the face and had his little finger broken and Neil Hamilton ended up with a broken nose. The two men were charged and convicted.
In spite of the enormous helping hand that Proctor received from well-wishing Tories, his business eventually went bust. In 2003 Proctor was appointed the Private Secretary to the 11th Duke of Rutland at Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire. He entered obscurity but of course hit the media again in 2015 when he was named as a suspect in the Operation Midland investigation into child abuse. Proctor held a press conference at which he angrily denied all allegations made against him – which included allegations that he had sexually tortured boys, attempted to castrate one of them and that a boy was murdered. The allegations against Proctor were tied up with allegations that Ted Heath abused boys – Proctor maintained that he hated Ted Heath so much that he wouldn’t have shared a cup of tea with him, let alone have attended an orgy in his company.
The Operation Midland investigation was halted after the publication of Sir Richard Henriques’ highly critical report into the way that the police had conducted the investigation. In Nov 2016 the Commissioner of the Met, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, apologised to Proctor. Proctor began legal action against the Metropolitan Police in Feb 2017. Sir Richard Henriques was the judge who dismissed the appeal of Jeremy Bamber in 2002. Jeremy Bamber is serving a life sentence for the murder of three members of his family – there has been mounting concern for years that his case is a serious miscarriage of justice. Bamber was convicted substantially as a result of the evidence given by a Top Doctor from St Andrew’s Hospital Northampton, an institution with a history of patient neglect and abuse – the Top Doctor seems to have been untruthful when giving evidence (see post ‘Family Annihilation’).
Although I too found it difficult to believe that Proctor would have done anything at all with Ted Health including sexually abusing boys, I note that one of the investors in Proctor’s business, Sir Charles Morrison, had been a big fan of Heath’s. Charles Morrison was the MP for Devizes (1964-92) and died in 2005. His obituary in the ‘Daily Telegraph’ makes interesting reading. It contrasts the political differences between Charles and his brother Peter – Charles being a ‘die hard Heathite rebel’ and Peter being an aide to Thatcher. The Morrisons’ had a sister – Dame Mary Morrison, who was Woman of the Bed Chamber to the Queen for over 50 years. Charles Morrison’s wife was related by marriage to Ian Fleming, who wrote an article entitled ‘To Westminster With Love’, the opening words being ‘Charles Morrison – Licensed To Kill’. Well somebody certainly was, witnesses to the activities of Peter Morrison and his associates were constantly found dead.
Michael Brown, one of Proctor’s friends at York, was a part time research assistant to Michael Marshall between 1975-76 and between 1976-79 worked for Nicholas Winterton MP. In 1979 Brown was elected as a Tory MP himself and remained as one until May 1994. Brown was a member of the Monday Club and the Eldon League. He was a founder member of the No Turning Back group, which included Peter Lilley, Neil Hamilton and Michael Portillo. Brown and Portillo were extremely good friends in the early 80s, so much so that they went on holidays together, along with someone else close to them, Derek Laud, who was Brown’s research assistant for a considerable period of time.
Brown was a supporter of the apartheid regime in South Africa and in Feb 1988 visited South Africa with Neil Hamilton – their trip was funded by the South African Authorities.
Brown was PPS to Douglas Hogg, between 1989-90 when Hogg was at the DTI and then between 1990-92 when Hogg was at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Between 1992-93 Brown was PPS to Patrick Mayhew, Secretary of State for N Ireland. Mayhew was a barrister, who when he was younger had acted as Counsel for the GMC – the GMC who famously allowed Dr Morris Fraser, a child psychiatrist who was a paedophile, to continue practising in the 70s. But then they allowed Dafydd to practice and he was facilitating a paedophile ring. In 1993 Brown became an assistant Gov’t Whip.
Brown was involved with the Cash for Questions scandal, along with Neil Hamilton, Sir Michael Grylls and Sir Peter Morrison. Brown accepted money to lobby on behalf of U.S. Tobacco without declaring it and also failed to declare an interest in the notoriously carcinogenic Skoal Bandits.
Michael Brown resigned as an MP in 1994 after the ‘News of the World’ published photos of him on holiday in Barbados with a gay man who was under the age of consent.
Brown was in the wilderness for a short while but bounced back in April 1998 after he submitted a piece for the ‘Independent’ which they accepted. The Indie then offered him a regular commission as a political sketch writer, starting in 1999. I mentioned in my post ‘Running The Country – And All That Jazz’ that after he left office, Ken Clarke joined the Board of the ‘Independent’. Helena Kennedy, another name which will be familiar to readers of this blog, was also on the Board at the time. Clarke left office in 1997 – he joined the ‘Independent’ at some point after that. Michael Brown then also picked up work for other papers. He is now a political journalist who makes regular appearances as a commentator and newspaper reviewer on British TV, especially BBC News 24 and Sky News.
I note that Brown’s troubles began at the time that Gordon Anglesea sued for libel after a number of media outlets named Anglesea as abusing boys in care in north Wales and just as the Jillings investigation into child abuse in north Wales was launched. His career recovered whilst the Waterhouse Inquiry was nearing it’s end, when Amanda Platell had her feet firmly under the table at Conservative Central Office as Press Officer (see post ‘Did Glenda Occupy A Key Role In Keeping It All Quiet?’) and after Sir Peter Morrison had been found safely dead at the bottom of the stairs at his home.
I have mentioned that Brown and Portillo were good friends with Derek Laud, Brown’s research assistant and they even all went on holidays together. Laud was also a member of the Monday Club in the early 1980s. By the mid 1980s he was working for Tory MPs and Gov’t advisors as a researcher and as a special advisor to Sir Gordon Downey, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. During the second half of the 80s Laud was an aide and speechwriter for Thatcher. He also helped Alan Clark and Michael Heseltine with their speeches. During the 1992 general election Laud acted as a campaign aide and fundraiser for John Major.
In the mid 80s Laud established Strategic Network International, a company set up to campaign against anti-apartheid movements and in the late 80s he worked in private equity finance. In 1992 he co-founded the lobbying company Ludgate Laud. Laud is co-founder and executive director of New City Initiative, a think tank and financial lobbying company. He holds multiple positions at the ‘wealth management’ company Stanhope Capital LLP. In recent years Laud has became a TV celeb – including an appearance on Celebrity Big Brother and in 2005 he partnered Edwina Currie on a TV quiz.
In the 1990s Laud was active in support of the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance (DTA), a political party in Namibia backed by the South African Gov’t.
Laud has a rather different background to many of the people in the Conservative Party with whom he is mates. He came from a Jamaican family in south London but had a very big rift with his mother when he was fourteen, which he attributes to him being gay, but he never quite explained how exactly. He moved out of his mother’s house and had no contact with her for many years – he moved in with Anna Meeham the head of the school that he attended in Clapham. Anna lived with her sister Cecily who was a child psychologist – Cecily was friends with a Judge Ann Goddard. Laud has remained very close to these two sisters, particularly Cecily. In an interview with the ‘Daily Mail’ in 2007 he stresses their importance in his life and says that he consults them about everything.
I mentioned in my post ‘Are You Local?’ that teenaged boys from Ty’r Felin, the children’s home in Bangor run by the brutal Nefyn Dodd, were being trafficked into prostitution. They were hired out to men renting hotel rooms in the local area but they were also taken to London, where they were received by a Tory fundraiser and aide of Thatcher’s who had an apartment in Dolphin Square. I received an e mail from a journalist some weeks ago alleging that the man in question was Derek Laud.
Michael Portillo, a close friend of Laud and Brown’s, graduated from Cambridge in 1975 and in 1976 joined the Conservative Research Dept. He became a Gov’t advisor in 1979 and was elected to the Commons in 1984. He was given a seat in the Cabinet in 1992, as Chief Secretary to the Treasury. He was Secretary of State for Employment (1994-95) and Secretary of State for Defence (1995-97). Throughout this time he was known as the ‘darling of the right’ and in his early days as an MP many had seen him as the heir to Thatcher. He lost his seat unexpectedly in the 1997 general election. He returned to the Commons in 1999, after being elected for Kensington and Chelsea, Alan Clark’s seat, after Clark died. He became Shadow Chancellor. Portillo retired from the Commons in 2005 and is now largely known for his media work and is a regular on the BBC.
The right wing of the Tory Party eventually developed a problem with Portillo in the aftermath of him fessing up in 1998 that he had ‘had some homosexual experiences’ when he was a young man. As it became clear that Portillo’s homosexual experiences might have been rather more extensive than he’d let on, people like Norman Tebbit became very angry and accused him of deceiving them. Which I think he probably did – he married a woman in 1982, voted against gay equality legislation and denied the rumours circulating that he was gay. I knew someone in north Wales back in the 1990s who used to go to gay clubs in London and Manchester who told me that he’d seen Portillo in gay clubs. Many years ago Michael Gove alleged in one of his books that there was quite an interesting party scene in Portillo’s Cambridge College – Peterhouse – whilst Portillo was there, including cross-dressing parties at which men were given girls names which were attended by both undergrads and Fellows of the College. There were a number of allegations circulating about Portillo, including that he was one of the Tories who was having sex with under-aged boys. I have no idea whether he was or not – but I think that he certainly knew people who were. He has known one person since he was a teenager who definitely did keep quiet about paedophile activity in children’s homes – Diane Abbott, the former Press and PR Officer for Lambeth Borough Council, whose own children’s homes were rife with a paedophile activity and who also sent children in care to John Allen’s Bryn Alyn Community in north Wales.
Another Tory who was the subject of allegations that he was gay was the man with the little list, Peter Lilley. Lilley felt obliged to issue a denial in the end and he stated that he found the idea of homosexuality about as appetising as eating cardboard. Lilley had been at Cambridge with Ken Clarke, Michael Howard, John Selwyn Gummer and Norman Lamont. Lilley was a member of the No Turning Back group along with Portillo, Hamilton and Michael Brown. He was the Chair of the Bow Group, 1973-75. He was elected as a Tory MP in 1987 and retired in 2017. He was PPS to Nigel Lawson, Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (July 1990-April 1992) and Secretary of State for Social Security (April 1992-May 1997). Lilley was always right behind Margaret Thatcher, but when he realised that she was going to lose the leadership contest in 1990 he very quickly changed his allegiances and supported John Major.
The toxic Child Support Agency was one of Lilley’s initiatives, although whether he was responsible for appointing as head of the CSA the equally toxic Ros Hepplewhite – formerly Chief Exec of MIND whilst that organisation concealed horrors in north Wales perpetrated by the paedophiles’ friends – I do not know. In 1977 Lilley co-authored a book with Samuel Brittan, brother of the dreadful Leon, who has been named as a child abuser. Leon’s family and friends have robustly denied the allegations, but what is certain is that Leon lost a dossier given to him by Geoffrey Dickens MP whilst Leon was Home Secretary – the dossier contained names and details of Westminster figures whom were alleged to be abusing children. Many other files relating to child abuse also went walkabout from the Home Office whilst Leon was there. Please see post ‘A Few Of The Relevant Politicians In The Mary Wynch Case’ for an account of the hissy fit that Samuel Brittan threw in the mid 80s when the box office at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival failed to pull strings for him and how dear old Michael Grade promised to help him out.
Lilley’s father was personnel officer at the BBC. R.D. Laing once commented when observing his son growing up that he felt himself rocked by successive generations. I’ve experienced a similar sensation when researching for this blog.
Proctor and Michael Brown’s friend from York, Christine Holman, eventually married Neil Hamilton. Christine had worked as secretary for Tory MP Sir Michael Grylls (father of Bear). Years later, Grylls ended up in a lot of trouble in the Cash for Questions scandal, along with Hamilton, Brown and Peter Morrison. Grylls was a Tory MP for 27 years who stood down in 1997. In 1990 he took cash payments and misled the select committee on members interests.
The most notorious MP involved in the Cash for Questions saga was of course Christine Hamilton’s husband Neil. Neil Hamilton has been involved in such extensive scandal and wrongdoing that I cannot detail it all here, so I’ll just provide a few highlights.
Neil Hamilton grew up in Carmarthenshire – his father was a manager for the National Coal Board. Hamilton eventually became a barrister specialising in taxation. He went to Aberystwyth University, that institution which trained so many of the corrupt lawyers named on this blog, although Hamilton didn’t read law there. After Aber, he went to Cambridge and then embarked on a legal career. There are a lot of people in Wales who remember Hamilton from his time at Aber and there are some interesting stories circulating. He was a member of the Federation of Conservative Students at Aber between 1968-74. He was elected for the Conservatives in Tatton in 1983 and held the seat until 1997, when he was beaten by the journalist Martin Bell who stood on an anti-sleaze ticket. Hamilton was a member of the No Turning Back group and his network included Alun Duncan and Gerald Howarth. He was also a member of the Eldon League.
In June 1984 Hamilton was the subject of a BBC Panorama programme, ‘Maggie’s Militant Tendency’, which detailed some seriously bad behaviour and worrying connections on the part of Neil Hamilton. In Oct 1986 Hamilton and Gerald Howarth sued the BBC for libel. The prosecution was funded by James Goldsmith and Taki, the Spectator journalist. David Davis was at the time a Director for Tate and Lyle and persuaded them to donate to Hamilton’s fighting fund. Hamilton stated that his main character witness would be Norman St John Stevas. I mentioned in my post ‘It’s The Sun Wot Won It’ that when I worked at St George’s Hospital Medical School between 1989-91, a member of staff there was a young man well-acquainted with the London gay scene who told me that Norman St John Stevas was known to holding ‘spanking parties with little boys’ and that ‘no-one knows how he’s getting away with it’. I was told this before the many allegations of politicians molesting children appeared in the media on a regular basis.
In October 1986 the BBC caved in to Hamilton suddenly and unexpectedly. A representative of the National Young Conservatives hinted at a stitch-up and the Director General of the BBC Alisdair Milne maintained that he had acted under the instruction of the BBC Governors, who had ordered the Board of Management to settle case before the defence interrogated Hamilton. The BBC paid the legal costs of Hamilton and Howarth and issued an apology. Attention focussed on the actions of Malcolm McAlpine, the cousin of Alistair McAlpine, the Conservative Party treasurer. Malcom McAlpine denied promising Hamilton that he could ‘deliver’ the Governors behind a settlement.
Alistair McAlpine became headline news in 2012, when he was named on ‘Newsnight’ by Steve Messham as being one of the men who had sexually abused him whilst Messham was in Bryn Estyn. McAlpine denied it and successfully sued a number of people who repeated the allegation. The McAlpine family do have a connection to north Wales though – the mother of Owen Lloyd George (THE Lloyd George’s grandson) was a McAlpine. Two descendants of Lloyd George, Annwen Carey Evans and D.B. Carey Evans, signed the ‘memorandum’ presented to Parliament in 2008 – the memorandum that was initiated and largely signed by the paedophiles’ friends (see post ‘A Vampire At Glyndwr University!’) and designed to put a stop to Edwina Hart’s efforts as she confronted the corruption of the paedophiles’ friends in the north Wales NHS.
Hamilton’s action against the BBC involved some very worrying happenings and there were allegations of witness intimidation – a BBC internal memo to the Board of Management claimed that 17 witnesses were intimidated into changing their testimony. Conservative Central Office were accused of orchestrating a cover-up. Dale Campbell-Savours MP maintained that he had evidence in the form of a letter and a tape that demonstrated BBC nobbling. Campbell-Savours sent a copy of the tape to Michael Havers, the Attorney General and accused Conservative Central Office of interfering with potential witnesses.
In Dec 1986 Hamilton became PPS to Sir David Mitchell. Mitchell was a Hampshire MP between 1964-97 and was a Minister in Thatcher’s Gov’t. His is the father of Andrew Mitchell, who was Chief Whip in Cameron’s Gov’t between 2010-12 and at the centre of Plebgate. Andrew Mitchell’s wife is a Top Doctor.
Hamilton became a Whip in 1990. In June 1990 he was recruited by Derek Laud to work for Strategy Group International for which Hamilton received a fee from Michael Brown.
Hamilton was a keen supporter of Thatcher and after Heseltine’s leadership challenge in Nov 1990 was quoted as saying ‘I fed all my intelligence into her campaign’. My post ‘It’s The Sun Wot Won It’ mentions the degree of socialising that the Hamiltons were doing with Sir Peter Morrison – whose constituency was next to Hamilton’s – at a time when Morrison’s abuse of under-aged boys was openly talked about at social events involving the City of Chester Conservative Association. Between 1992-94 Hamilton was a Minister in Major’s Govt.
During the Cash for Questions scandal it was revealed that Hamilton did not register his consultancy fee from Strategy Network International, that he enjoyed free hospitality at the Ritz Hotel in Paris – owned by al Fayed – had stayed at al Fayed’s castle in Scotland without declaring it and that he had received many thousands of pounds from al Fayed which was handed over in the now infamous brown envelopes.
In the wake of the allegations that flew during Cash for Questions, in Jan 1998 Hamilton launched a libel action against al Fayed. Lord Harris of High Cross raised £100k to help fund the case and many other Tories also donated, including Lord Tim Bell and Simon Heffer. Over £400k was raised. Lord Harris had founded the No Turning Back group in 1985 and had a long association with the economists and think tanks which had exerted such influence on the economic policies of Thatcher’s administrations. He was the founding President of the Institute for Economic Affairs from 1990 until his death in 2006, proposed the idea of an ‘independent’ university and then became a Council member of Buckingham University (1980-85), famously the UK’s first private university. In 2003 Harris was also the Chairman and President of FOREST, the pro-smoking charity which was largely funded by the tobacco industry. Between 2008-2001 Harris was a Director of the Murdoch-owned Times Newspapers. Harris also wrote for the ‘Telegraph’.
Hamilton lost his libel action in Dec 1999 and subsequently filed for bankruptcy.
Following their disgrace and a memorable ‘Guardian’ headline confirming that Neil Hamilton was a liar and a cheat, the Hamiltons reinvented themselves as celebs. The BBC welcomed them with open arms and they appeared regularly on various TV shows, including ‘Have I Got News For You’. Their celebrity status had a downside. In 2001 they were accused of rape and sexual assault by a young woman who it later transpired was quite troubled and enjoyed a rich fantasy life. Her allegations against the Hamiltons were found to be demonstrably untrue – although the Hamiltons were arrested and questioned. The young woman subsequently went to prison, which was probably not the best place for her. However, the identity of the Hamilton’s alibi is noteworthy – it was Derek Laud, who maintained that the Hamiltons were having dinner with him at the time that they were alleged to have assaulted the young woman.
Cash for Questions was one of the key factors that did for John Major’s Gov’t. Another Tory MP who faced allegations of sleaze was Tim Smith who was elected in 1982 and stood down in 1997 after allegations that he received bribes. Smith was known to have accepted cash payments from al Fayed. Tim Smith worked for Leon Brittan in the Home Office 1983-85 and was a N Ireland Minister between Jan and Oct 1994.
What is overwhelming obvious here – particularly when considered alongside the information in my previous posts – is what a cradle of filth this was. There were a number of politicians close to Margaret Thatcher at the heart of Gov’t who were utterly unscrupulous and using any means available to them, including the gross abuse of their positions, to line their own pockets. There were some politicians who were known to be abusing young boys and rather more who were using the services of rent boys slightly under the then age of consent without asking any questions at all concerning where those rent boys were coming from. The networks and links – even just the ones that I have detailed on this blog – mean that these activities must have been widely known about in Westminster, as must have been some of the means being used to silence witnesses.
It is striking how many of the people named on this blog as having been involved in child abuse or in keeping it quiet also had careers in the media. Even the Hamiltons who had been utterly disgraced – and that was before the child molesting activities of their mate Peter Morrison became public knowledge – were invited to appear on prime time light entertainment BBC programmes, as though they were simply an entertaining colourful couple rather than a pair of lying, cheating crooks who intimidated anyone who dared take them on. But then there was effectively a deal done between Thatcher’s Gov’t and parts of the media. The BBC was notoriously craven – because it was usually presumed they were terrified of the Gov’t stopping the funding of the BBC via the licence fee. But the BBC was of course also employing and concealing the activities of Savile – who was literally a mate of Thatcher’s. Everybody was doing so much that they shouldn’t have been that no-one dared grass anybody else up. As for the newspapers – well Murdoch and Thatcher had a very obvious deal which I was reminded of when listening to the Radio 4 programme ‘The Reunion’ this morning. They were reminiscing about the Wapping dispute, the means by which Murdoch broke the print unions. The print unions enjoyed the support of many on the left but I don’t think that they should have – their practices were dreadful and involved actively excluding women and ethnic minorities from jobs, as well as large scale fiddling. They were of course happy to keep printing ‘The Sun’ all the way through the Falklands campaign even when it published photos of ‘injured Argies’ and a fictitious interview with a war widow which helped Thatcher to win another election. The print unions only started squealing when Murdoch went after them. He used the anti-union laws that the Thatcher Gov’t had passed to do this – the union was broken when the Courts sequestered their assets. Under Murdoch’s ownership the Times newspapers undoubtedly changed in character with the installation of people like Andrew Neil as editors – all Murdoch’s publications became uncritical defenders of everything that the Conservative Gov’t did. They were never going to publish stories about Thatcher’s aides abusing children and participating in substantial financial corruption, particularly when some of the political figures connected to child abuse were involved with bank-rolling the Conservative Party.
I have mentioned many times in previous posts how the Labour Party stood by impotent – they couldn’t blow the whistle, because so many of their MPs had been Councillors on the London boroughs overseeing the ‘services’ in which the children were sexually abused and then trafficked – to be sexually used by some of the very people whom the Councillors loathed and dearly wanted to see out of office. I have mentioned that some people who later made it big in New Labour actually worked as social workers themselves in those Councils, such as Tessa Jowell and Janet Boateng. This blog has also named a number of ‘radical lawyers’ with connections to the Labour Party who undoubtedly knew what was happening to those kids and the further abuse of them at the hands of the mental health services if they dared complain – lawyers who did not say a word, or even some, such as Patricia Scotland, who actually acted for the state in public inquiries which were no more than massive cover-ups of the abuse of children by public figures. The role of Margaret Hodge as leader of Islington Council whilst the children’s homes were infested with paedophiles has received substantial publicity, but there is one former lawyer who hit the big time with New Labour who is still skilfully hiding away, although her biography suggests that she bloody well knew about all this as well – I am talking about that well-known victim of oppression, Harriet!
Harriet Harman was interviewed by Peter Hennessey on Radio 4 earlier this week and I steeled myself to listen to the whole interview, because I have always suspected that Harriet, daughter of a Harley Street Top Doctor herself and an eternal whinger – referencing very simplistic notions of gender inequality but showing a complete ignorance of class inequality – knew a lot more about institutionalised child abuse than she ever let on. Harriet was famously outed a few years ago as having been involved with the NCCL – along with many of her New Labour mates – whilst NCCL was affiliated with PIE, a group lobbying for paedophiles’ rights. Harriet got very angry indeed and claimed that she was the subject of a smear campaign – and then someone produced a document written for the NCCL by a Harriet Harman in her capacity as their legal officer, which certainly read as though it was arguing for paedophiles rights. See posts ‘The London Connection’ and ‘Tower Hamlets, Paul Boateng and Tessa Jowell’ for the idiocies of the NCCL and their officers who later became senior figures in New Labour.
I have always accepted that Harriet really is not very bright at all and I could well imagine a young, over-privileged stupid Harriet deciding that she was going to change the world by telling it what to do, only to find herself being used by a bunch of paedophiles’ friends who probably couldn’t believe their luck at stumbling across such a dimwit. I was right! Throughout her interview with Hennessey, Harriet stressed how she wasn’t going to listen to the old fuddy duddies in her family like Lord Longford – she obviously doesn’t understand that she only ended up at the top of the Labour Party because she came from that immensely privileged and well-connected family, it certainly wasn’t through ability – she and her friends were going to change everything and she was delighted to maintain that they did. Some of them even worked whilst they were pregnant, which Harriet pointed out had never been done before – her own mother hadn’t. Harriet – that’s because your mother was Very Posh and could afford not to work. If you had ever read any social history at all, you would know that Poor People have for many generations worked whilst they were pregnant. Likewise, your memories of dressing up in your mother’s barrister’s wig and robes when you were little because she’d put them in your dressing up box was not so much a symbol of your mother’s oppression, it was a Signal to you from your mother of the sort of adult that you were expected to grow up to be. It worked – you are as thick as pig shit but you still became a lawyer and indeed even Solicitor General.
I did however learn a few more things about Harriet from that interview. That she was at York University when Proctor and his mates were there. She mentioned that she was ‘political’ but that the Conservative students at York were foul. Yes and some of them just a few years later did some very interesting things with rent boys and money. Harriet will not have forgotten that she was at York with Proctor et al when they hit the headlines some years later – but she couldn’t say a thing about their activities…
I also learnt that after her stint at NCCL, Harriet worked at Brent Law Centre (1978-82) at a time when the paedophile gangs that supplied the Westminster Paedophile Ring were in full swing. Brent Law Centre will have dealt with child care and mental health cases. In 1984, the complete fuckwittery of Brent Social Services resulted in the death of Jasmine Beckford (see post ‘Ian Brockington’s Mischief’). Jasmine was starved and beaten to death by her stepfather – she had been in the care of Brent Social Services for two and a half years before she died. So Brent Social Services were ‘caring’ for Jasmine whilst Harriet worked down the road at the Law Centre leading the way for the nation’s wimmin and planning her future career in the Labour Party. Paul Boateng was also busy in the area at the time and was MP for Brent South (1987-2005). The Paul Boateng who worked in the legal firm that acted for Mary Wynch (see post ‘The Mary Wynch Case -Details’) and who is married to Janet Boateng, a former social worker for Lambeth who Chaired the Social Services Committee at the time of the death of Tyra Henry in 1984 (see posts ‘Tower Hamlets, Paul Boateng and Tessa Jowell’ and ‘A Few More Who Might Be Able To Answer Questions’). Ken Livingstone was busy in the area as well and served as MP for Brent East (1987-2001). The Ken who led the GLC when so many of the kids in it’s care were abused on Ken’s patch or exported to children’s homes in north Wales to be abused. Brent embraces part of Camden – Tessa’s old stomping ground. For details of the many links that those from the London boroughs had to the North Wales Child Abuse Scandal, see post ‘The London Connection’.
I think that Harriet definitely knew that there was a problem – and her silence meant that her and her mates were not able to ‘change everything’ at all. Harriet didn’t just keep quiet when she was a young woman with an eye on a Labour seat (she was subsequently elected for Peckham, one of the most disadvantaged parts of London. I very much doubt whether the Council there was caring for the kids properly). Harriet’s lips remained sealed when she was an Older Empowered Strong Woman. She was Solicitor General in 2001, shortly after the publication of the Waterhouse Report at the time of the allegations of a huge cover-up. Not a word. In 2005 she was Minister of State for the Dept of Constitutional Affairs and represented Charlie Falconer on the Commons frontbench – whilst Charlie concealed the heap of manure and ensured that anyone who had suffered at the hands of the paedophiles’ friends would have no legal redress by making it impossible to access Legal Aid. Charlie’s withdrawing of Legal Aid also very nearly put the two lawyers in north Wales who were doing a pretty good job of fighting the paedophiles’ friends out of business. Now that would have been a great relief for those we know and love.
When Harriet and her close friend Patricia Hewitt discovered that MI5 had kept files on them as a result of their involvement with NCCL they became very angry, took a case to the European Court of Human Rights and subsequently there was a change in the law. Well Harriet and Patsy were only working for an organisation that was lobbying on behalf of paedophiles whilst there was a problem with senior figures in Gov’t abusing children, children who were later found dead, with the alleged involvement of rogue members of the security services. Why ever would MI5 be keeping files on Harriet and Patsy?
Harriet remains good friends with Patsy to this day. Patsy was formerly the General Secretary of NCCL during it’s Paedophile Period and later became the MP for Leicester West, after Greville Janner stood down. The Greville Janner whom the CPS has admitted should have been prosecuted for abusing boys but wasn’t, for reasons that the CPS have never been able to explain. Keith Vaz – he of the male prostitutes and drugs – also became an MP in Leicester, after a stint working as the senior solicitor for Islington Council in the mid 80s as the paedophile ring operating in the Islington children’s homes ran riot and a further stint working as a solicitor in a Law Centre in Leicester which was funded by Leicester City Council between 1985-87 as the paedophile ring there did it’s best (see post ‘One Of The Safest Pairs Of Hands At The Criminal Bar’ for further details on Keith, his mum and his sister). The paedophile ring in operation in Leicestershire children’s homes had as it’s key figure the social worker Franck Beck who was later imprisoned. It is not only Labour politicians with dirty linen who are drawn to Leicestershire – Harvey Proctor ended up there as well.
During the Hennessey interview Harriet spoke a lot about her battles with the male creatures who clutter up Parliament and explained that the reason why she accepted a place on the front bench when offered one by Neil Kinnock was that Patsy had told her that she ‘had a responsibility’ to sit on the front bench or other wimmin would not believe that it was possible. Thank God we’ve got Harriet to show us the way.
The fuckwittedness of Patsy’s comment had clearly escaped Harriet – whilst Harriet was exercising her responsibilities as a Role Model there was of course a woman PM. Harriet did know this. As she explained her ‘visceral hostility’ to Thatcher to Hennessey, she recounted a little anecdote – that just after her first baby was born (that will have been Joe Dromey who was famously taken into Parliament as a newborn), she was walking down a corridor with her baby when she saw Thatcher approaching. She was so desperate not to allow Thatcher’s ‘eyes to fall on my baby’ that she dived into a side room. Harriet told Hennessey that if that side room hadn’t have been available, she would have covered her baby’s face with a blanket to prevent the wicked witch from giving him the evil eye. I wouldn’t really want any children of mine to be left in the company of Thatcher, but the difference between me and you Harriet is that once I obtained the evidence pointing to a paedophile ring in operation with connections to Westminster that was concealed at the highest levels, I published it as soon as I was in a position to do so. You did not. But then there never was any chance of your child being taken into care by the sort of fuckwitted social worker like Tessa Jowell who were employed in the London boroughs in such great numbers and then being transported to a children’s home in north Wales where he would have been beaten, starved, forced to work free of charge, sexually abused and then trafficked back down to London as a rent boy. That Harriet is why Joe is now a senior research fellow in the IPPR, not stuck in an abusive mental health system, in prison or dead.
Since she released her blockbuster ‘A Woman’s Work’ recently, Harriet has explained that the reason why she never became leader of the Labour Party is of course because she is a woman and Gordon Discriminated. So we all had a lucky escape thanks to Gordon’s entrenched sexism.
There is yet another nightmare scenario looming on the horizon. There is talk in Labour circles of who is going to succeed Jeremy and I am horrified to read that the name being touted about is Emily Thornberry, on the grounds not of her brilliance but that she is of the left and that the next leader ‘must be a woman’. That’s sounds a rather dogmatic position, but if it has to be a woman, please don’t let that woman be Emily Thornberry. Emily is of course best-known for sending out an offensive and massively damaging tweet whilst she was campaigning – a tweet of a photo of a new-build house draped in numerous flags of St George with a white van parked in the drive. Emily’s tweet suggested that the inhabitant of the said house must be a right wing oik from the lower orders – and the world went apeshit with a backlash. Emily was denounced as the worst example of the Labour metropolitan elite, out of touch with and contemptuous of less privileged people. The damage to the Labour Party was massive, but instead of accepting that she probably shouldn’t try and take a leading role in the Party lest she inflict more damage, Emily conducted a series of media interviews in which she stressed her humble origins as a kid from a council estate. She then continued to appear on TV as a spokesperson for Labour, screwing up badly because she didn’t know salient facts – which she blamed on the sexism of the interviewers. At the same time, much appeared in the press about the very expensive house in which she lives – the same part of Islington as the Blairs, just around the corner from Margaret Hodge -and it was revealed that she owns a number of other not at all cheap properties as well. It was confirmed that for a while as a child Emily had lived on a council estate, although no-one was quite sure when or why – yet her father was an international lawyer, a Professor at King’s College London and UN Assistant Secretary General. Emily’s mother had been a Labour Councillor and the Mayor in Guildford. Emily’s mum had encouraged her to go into politics – Emily became Labour MP (she was selected on an all-woman shortlist) for Islington and Finsbury in 2005. It was also revealed that Emily is married to High Court Judge Sir Christopher Nugee, so she is actually Lady Emily Nugee, but she became very vexed indeed when David Cameron called her that.
As ever though, the right wing press haven’t done their homework – well maybe they have, but unlike Service Shenanigans, there is an elephant in the room that they won’t tackle. Has Sir Christopher Nugee presided over miscarriages of justice? No, he doesn’t seem to have. Has his chambers been involved in anything shameful regarding court cases involving politicians and children? No – although the chambers probably doesn’t have clean hands, it specialises in finance, including off-shore trusts.
The elephant in the room is Emily. Before Emily became an MP she was a barrister, between 1985 and 2005. She worked at Took’s Court Chambers, the chambers of Michael Mansfield. I wrote to Michael Mansfield in 1993 or 1994 and informed him of my prosecution in Bangor Magistrates Court for ‘staring at a social worker in Safeways’, after I had complained about law-breaking on the part of the mental health services. I also complimented him on his recently published book ‘Presumed Guilty’, about miscarriages of justice and the abuse of public order legislation – that’s why I wrote to him, I explained that it was that legislation (which Thatcher’s Gov’t had specifically passed to use against striking miners) that was used to prosecute me. I received a reply from Mr Mansfield, but it simply thanked me for my letter and said ‘it is always good to have support’. Michael Mansfield will have known when he read my letter that there had been a recent media storm regarding the possible existence of a paedophile ring in north Wales providing children to politicians and that there were allegations that the police, the social services, the Top Doctors, lawyers, judges and the Welsh Office were involved in a huge cover-up. He will have known that it was a social worker from Bangor, Gwynedd – where I lived, the address was on my letter to him – who had been sacked for blowing the whistle on the paedophile ring. He will have known that a senior police officer, Gordon Anglesea, had been named by two young men on TV as having abused them when they were in Bryn Estyn children’s home and that Gordon Anglesea had launched a libel case against the media outlets that named him and that he was being supported by the Police Federation.
One would have thought that my letter would have had the antennae of the UK’s most high profile radical barrister twitching like mad. Mansfield had defended members of the IRA, acted for the Birmingham Six and given his services to the NUM free of charge during the miners’ strike. He had a reputation as a lawyer who was not afraid to take on the British State at it’s worst. But Mr Mansfield walked straight by on the other side of the road. Although he must have realised that someone had written to him who had evidence that if, pursued, could do serious damage to John Major’s Gov’t as well as to the politicians involved in the previous administrations – including Thatcher herself, who had destroyed his personal friend Scargill. But defending members of the IRA is obviously easier than defending someone under attack from the paedophiles’ friends. Emily was working at Tooks when I sent that letter to Michael Mansfield. Other people who have worked with Mr Mansfied include Helena Kennedy and Patricia Scotland, both stars of this blog and members of the network of paedophiles’ friends…
Not only is Emily one of the paedophiles’ friends, but King’s College London – the home of yet more of the paedophiles’ friends – where Emily’s dad held a Chair, was host to some interesting activities. In the 80s there was a scam going on among some of the students. In order to earn a few quid they were marrying foreign nationals in order for them to acquire permission to enter or remain in the UK. Someone I worked with at St George’s, whilst he had been a physiology student at Kings, had married one of the other students from America to enable her to stay in the UK. He had been paid many thousands of pounds for his service – after the marriage they shared a house whilst leading a separate existence and went their separate ways entirely a few years later, once the legal requirements had been fulfilled. There was also a professor in King’s College School of Medicine who was having sex with his own children. This was openly discussed among the Top Doctors on the London medical scene. No-one suggested any sort of investigation into the Professor of gynaecology concerned.
I think that I’m going to have to devise a classification system for the paedophiles’ friends because there are just so many of them. There’s going to have to be a category of the paedophiles’ bestest friends, such as Arfon Jones, the esteemed North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner and dear old Dafydd and Lucille. Then there will have to be the paedophiles’ very good friends, such as Dr Peter Higson. Then the paedophiles good friends; then the paedophiles’ ‘colleagues’ – a mixed bag, some of whom have no problems with the paedophiles at all but this category also includes some who tolerate them in order to gain personal advancement (a very big category); then the biggest category of all, containing many thousands of people from across the UK in many walks of life – those who knew what the paedophiles were doing but were too spineless to do anything at all, no matter how minor, to stop them. I might also need a sub-category – the paedophiles’ friends who are just in it for the money. I met a few of these at St George’s. They would actually drool over the idea of serious money and say things like ‘ooh I’d love to be rich’ – they reached fever-pitch after visits to the West End when they would catch glimpses of the money-laundering crooks with gangster connections of whom they were so envious. They didn’t like me very much, they accused me of being ‘naive’ and being like I was because I was a sheepshagger from Wales. No you stupid fuckers, it was because I had seen what was happening to those kids who were living in the children’s homes in north Wales and being groomed for sex work in London who dared to complain. I met them in the North Wales Hospital Denbigh didn’t I Dafydd – before they died, went to prison or disappeared off the face of the planet.
The intriguing case of Harriet Harman, John Masterson and Harriet’s uncle Lord Porn: John Masterson was a serious criminal, a friend of the Kray twins, a stalker of Harriet Harman and a close friend of her uncle Lord Longford, better known as ‘Lord Porn’:
^ Lord Longford was friends with Lord Boothby & Harold Wilson
^ Harriet Harman’s aunt and uncle
Lord Boothby, left, with Ronnie Kray, centre, and Leslie Holt,
Cliff Richard and Lord Boothby
Masterson’s beef with the Harwoman dated back to 1974 when he spent 6 months at Wakefield’s special control unit. In a subsequent case in which he turned to the NCCL for help, he felt betrayed by Harman, who did not wish to bring an organisation close to Labour into disrepute.
Masterson even went as far as staging a hunger strike at Labour HQ to attract attention to his case. Harman called for him to be charged with threats to kill. In the end, the case was dropped after he had been in custody for five and a half weeks.
For me, the most intriguing aspect of this case is that Harriet Harman was afraid of John Masterson while her uncle Lord Longford was John Masterson’s friend and defender, even wining and dining him at the House of Lords.
Interestingly, it is claimed that Kray friend John Masterson was subjected to sensory deprivation and mind control experiments at Wakefield prison. Even Dr Pickering, in charge when Masterson was subject to torture, admitted that control units were a mistake!
Indeed, Harriet Harman first met Masterson during that term in the Wakefield special control unit. The Times of Jan. 18, 1980 reported that NCCL had appealed to a judge in Chambers for the disclosure of certain Home Office documents (no doubt re. Wakefield prison special unit).
Leonard (Lenny) Harper, an investigative officer involved in the Jersey children’s home scandal, was also involved in the case of John Masterson, a 56-year-old Scotsman who boasted of his friendship with the Kray twins:

2 March 1998
SECRET Service agents bugged and tailed a Conservative MP who later became a Cabinet minister, according to a potentially explosive book by a former agent now living in Australia.
Anthony Holland, who describes his work as an MI5 and MI6 “asset”, claims that the MP was targeted because he was thought to be having a gay affair with the Tory peer Lord Robin Maugham, nephew of the author Somerset Maugham.
If true, his revelations will further embarrass the security services and result in calls for tighter controls on their activities. Last year, the Labour government was rocked to its core by the revelations of former MI5 officer David Shayler, who described surveillance operations on potential “enemies of the state” – who included John Lennon, several Labour MPs and a young Jack Straw, now the Home Secretary.
In Mr Holland’s book, which is due to be published in the summer by a small Melbourne-based publisher, he describes operations in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Iran, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia. Working as a freelance agent for MI5 and MI6, Mr Holland, 54, claims his real skills as an engineer allowed him to be placed in sensitive areas by the security services.
During one period in 1969, he was found a job at the Rossing uranium mine in South West Africa in order to find out whom it was supplying. He says he reported that it was feeding the Israeli nuclear programme, and even describes one meeting he had with General Moshe Dayan, the Israeli defence minister.
“At that time, we were well aware what they were up to,” Mr Holland claimed from his Melbourne home. “They weren’t supposed to be developing their own bomb, but we helped them by turning a blind eye.”
In Britain, his most audacious operation involved gathering evidence of the MP’s alleged affair with Lord Maugham. He says the MP was regarded as a future minister and a potential security risk, although Mr Holland suspects the evidence was gathered to be used as leverage at a later date. Lord Maugham, who was openly homosexual, died in 1981.
The book, which is known only as “Project 21” at Geoff Coxon Publishing in Melbourne, describes how two addresses in London and Brighton, East Sussex, were put under round-the-clock surveillance. “By the time I joined the operation, most of the groundwork was done,” Mr Holland says in the book.
“They [MI5] had Maugham’s flat bugged throughout and the telephone tapped, and they had two miniature television cameras wired into the ceiling lights in the main bedroom and the lounge, so we could watch the show in comfort.”
The former minister denied the affair when approached by The Independent this week. He said he had no knowledge of ever having been put under surveillance.
Other chapters include details of a spying operation that Mr Holland says he conducted on a German project to help Iran develop a nuclear weapon.
Mr Holland wrote the book as the latest stage in a campaign to clear his name of a crime he says he did not commit. He was jailed in 1981 at Bradford Crown Court for allegedly receiving stolen goods amounting to pounds 250. He claims that he was framed by the security services.
Although it was his first offence, he was jailed for 12 months. Before his term was over, however, he was freed and sent to a new life in Australia, allegedly with the complicity of MI6. Melvyn Hodgson, the man he allegedly persuaded to steal for him, was found hanging in a prison cell in 1992.
His case has been taken up by Australian politicians and is being examined by the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
Dr John Illingworth, a Leeds city councillor, has examined the evidence against Mr Holland and described it this week as “preposterous”. He added: “I don’t believe he would be convicted today. It is difficult to check the rest of the claims in the book, but those that can be checked are accurate.”
Mr Holland said: “The only man who could clear me was Melvyn Hodgson because I believe he made a false confession. Once I heard he had been found hanging, I decided to blow the lid off these guys.
“I still don’t know why they framed me, but I had been associating with a suspected IRA commander and perhaps they thought I was going over.
Once the book is published, I know I’ll never be able to return to England. I just want to clear my name. I simply can’t let them win.”
Geoff Coxon, Mr Holland’s publisher, is hoping to avoid the kind of legal fight that resulted in Peter Wright’s book Spycatcher being dragged through the courts.
“If it is published in Australia, your Official Secrets Act does not apply,” he said.
“We are publishing in Victoria because in New South Wales truth is a defence, and we have gone to great lengths to prove the veracity of Anthony’s claims.
“You might have a bit of difficulty getting it over there, but if it goes well, we hope to launch it on the American market next year.”
The Home Office said it would not comment until it had seen the material. It never discusses operational matters.

The press has also been full of Heath’s defenders claiming the investigation is a witch hunt against someone who isn’t alive to defend himself, much like the counterclaims about Leon Brittan.
Are they really so concerned about Sir Edward`s reputation, or are they more worried about protecting their own skins ?
…it may not be entirely coincidental that the three publications that have attacked me, The Sunday Times, the Daily Mail and Private Eye, are precisely the same ones that have had their journalists named.along with Heath, on the dossier.
With growing evidence of the widespread existence of sexual transgressions at the highest level of the establishment, it is possible that we may be somewhat nearer to the full revelation of the UK`s grimmest secret – the elite`s concealed sexual abuse of children.
It’s so damned obvious that that rag, The Times, is on a mission to discredit anyone who dares even to consider a British establishment figure could be in the least capable of CSA. This is as far removed from journalism as Edward Heath was from being asexual!

There ARE grounds to suspect Ted Heath over abuse claims, says leading human rights lawyer who saw secret evidence obtained by police
Officers found ‘important idiosyncratic corroborating’ evidence against former Tory Premier Sir Edward Heath which was ‘clearly not the product of collusion’
Danny Friedman QC saw secret evidence obtained by police investigating Sir Edward, who died in 2005
Expert on child sex abuse said she would not have trusted Heath with children
21 Oct 2017
Distinctive similarities between alleged sexual assaults on boys by Sir Edward Heath helped convince police that they would be justified to question him under caution were he alive today, according to a leading human rights lawyer.
Officers found ‘important idiosyncratic corroborating’ evidence against the former Tory Premier which was ‘clearly not the product of collusion’ in cases spanning nearly 50 years and across Britain.
Danny Friedman QC saw secret evidence obtained by police investigating Sir Edward, who died in 2005.
Mr Friedman, who was a ‘scrutineer’ of the Operation Conifer inquiry into Sir Edward by Wiltshire Police, also defended the conduct of the force’s Chief Constable, Mike Veale.
Emphasising the scale of the inquiry with 42 allegations involving 14 forces, he said: ‘Of itself, that tells you something about the nature of the task, but also that the complaints emerged from different parts of the country, from people who were largely unconnected.’
It explained why the inquiry concluded ‘there were reasonable grounds to suspect that offences had been committed’ by Sir Edward in seven cases.
James O’Brien asked why people who campaigned for justice for the victims of the Rotherham grooming gangs are strangely quiet on the potential victims of Edward Heath.
Police today confirmed that the former Prime Minister would have been questioned under caution over allegations of rape and indecent assault of boys.
The right-wing campaigned strongly against the Asian grooming gangs, so James asked what the difference is between a person with brown skin accused of abusing a child and one with white skin.
And he used the words of Heath’s chief whip Tim Fortescue, who revealed they had covered up allegations of child abuse in the past to gain favours later on.
“We wold do everything we can because we would store up brownie points. That sounds a pretty nasty reason, but it’s one of the reasons that if we could get a chap out of trouble, he’ll do as we ask forever more.”
Responding to that, James said: “Where are all the websites, all the proud patriots attacking that, which happened on our own doorstep and was revealed by a Member of Parliament? Why aren’t EDL websites dedicated to this bloke?
“Isn’t it very odd how people who seem to dedicate their lives on social media to Pakistani grooming gangs are on the same side of the argument when it comes to Ted Heath as the people who didn’t listen to the victims?
“What could possibly be the reason a brown-skinned person would demand epic derision and disgust, but a white-skinned person accused of identical crimes shouldn’t even be investigated at all? Anybody?”
Former Prime Minister Edward Heath, Jimmy Savile and the Haut de la Garenne Paedophile Ring on the Island of Jersey
October 20, 2017
As Operation Conifer concludes, and the police have confirmed that sufficient evidence exists to ‘question Edward Heath if he were alive’, previous thwarted or fatigued investigations into our former Prime Minister Heath and his good mate – the vile paedophile and former BBC icon Jimmy Savile – should definitely command our attention once again.Operation Conifer was intended only to research claims made against the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1970 until 1974, Edward Heath, in his home county of Wiltshire, but in this regional investigation over 26 claims of sexual abuse which met a certain threshold of evidence were officially filed against Heath. The most unpalatable involved Heath paying for sex with an 11-year-old boy when he was an MP. This investigation, however, is simply the ‘one which slipped through the net’ at the end of a long string of allegations against Heath which were hushed.
One such case is Operation Whistle, which investigates the crimes of Edward Heath, Jimmy Savile and 13 other ‘people of public or political prominence’ in the Haut de la Garenne children’s home on the Channel Island of Jersey, where Heath spent a lot of his free time. The Operation is still underway but the States of Jersey Police have not issued a public update since 2015, and a Freedom of Information Act request which was made about the investigation was declined on the grounds that it remains an ongoing case. And so those trying to gain insight to the investigation’s progress are stuck in a kind of stalemate.
Local resident Linda Corby alongside Jersey Senator Ralph Vibert both witnessed children from Haut de la Garenne join Heath on his yacht, Morning Cloud, which concerned them as they had been pre-warned about the actions of Heath on the island. They hauntingly described a scene in which ’11 boys entered the yacht, but only 10 left’. She and Mr Vibert went to police but she claims that they were told not to investigate the disappearance by ‘someone above’.
Haut de la Garenne was ordered to be demolished in July as it apparently serves as a reminder of decades of sexual abuse and mistreatment of children in Jersey. It seems odd and deeply counterintuitive, however, to destroy the remnants of the place in which the police admitted that 15 famous British individuals committed serious sexual crimes when not a single one of them has been brought to justice. Ultimately, this just furthers the impression that police were simply trying to make the incident disappear from memory rather than break it open.
Jimmy Savile was formally named as an alleged culprit in the investigation by Jersey police after his immense backlog of sexual crimes were brought to light after his death. He frequented the island of Jersey and on multiple occasions visited Haut de la Garenne under the guise of charitable work, often at the same time Edward Heath moored his yacht on the island. Savile successfully sued The Sun newspaper in 2008 when they accused him of abusing children in Haut de la Garenne, and initially claimed that he never visited the children’s home, before retracting that statement when a photograph surfaced of him there. Savile died in 2011 and never faced justice for the sexual abuse of hundreds of children.
Another ‘person of public or political prominence’ in Operation Whistle is the Irish actor and BBC star Wilfrid Brambell, who starred in the Beatles film ‘A Hard Days Night’. The allegations against him surfaced in 2008, and his case disturbingly echoes that of Savile; two young victims aged 12-13 – one of which was groomed whilst a resident of Haut de la Garenne – were guests of Brambell at the Jersey Opera House where they were abused in his dressing room, they tried to alert authorities but were snubbed – only after Brambell died and the gushing tributes from his former employers the BBC died down did their accusations make it to the mainstream press. Unlike Savile, Brambell’s crimes never really saw the light of day beyond blogs and tiny columns by interns at the Telegraph.
In fact, the only celebrated reporter who has taken a serious interest in abuse at Haut de la Garenne was the American author and journalist Leah McGrath Goodman. Unfortunately, she was quashed pretty quickly as her UK visa was rescinded inexplicably in 2012 in spite of her squeaky clean criminal record. It took over a year of campaigns by fellow journalists and petitions to the UK government before she was allowed back in the UK…
Jersey “officers could not access the yacht club registers which would have shown who was present at gatherings.”… reports children were abused on boats
Investigations into claims that police socialised with suspected paedophiles at a Jersey yacht club “came to a dead end”, a former police chief has said.
Graham Power was in charge when the police investigation into historical child abuse began in 2006.
He told Jersey’s abuse inquiry that officers could not access the yacht club registers, which would have shown who was present at gatherings.
Mr Power was suspended in 2008 over his handling of the investigation.
‘Out at sea’
He said there were reports that children were abused on boats.
“I was told that a group of police officers and senior officials, and people who were subsequently associated with paedophile activity, used to meet as a group at the yacht club at the same time and socialise together.
“The reports that things were happening out at sea all seemed to join up into a sort of set of circumstances that merits investigation.”
He told the hearing that during an investigation into the abuse of a sea cadet, a suspect had text messages on his phone to a retired senior police officer asking for advice about the inquiry.
The predictable but no less damaging message being communicated by UK newspapers who are in bed with Heath’s Conservative party – most notably the Daily Mail – is that Heath is dead and there is no point ‘dragging his name through the mud’. Sadly, the reality is that for figures like Heath who reached the very top of the food chain, the only time their crimes are revealed is when the figures who built a protective wall around them are gone.
Just listen to the Conservative Party Whip Tim Fortescue recall what he had to do for his boss, Edward Heath. Incredibly, he willingly shared this in a talking head segment for the 1995 BBC documentary ‘Westminster’s Secret Service’:
”For anyone with any sense, who was in trouble, would come to the whips and tell them the truth, and say now, I’m in a jam, can you help? It might be debt, it might be a scandal involving small boys, or any kind of scandal in which, erm er, a member seemed likely to be mixed up in, they’d come and ask if we could help and if we could, we did.’
Fortescue died in 2008, and it is no coincidence that the bulk of allegations against Heath came about after his end.
So fuck the Daily Mail. We owe nothing to the dead, their vile secrets, nor their reputations, but we owe an awful lot to the victims of child sexual abuse in the here and now. Operation Conifer should be the start of a comprehensive review of Heath’s crimes, not their polite and quiet conclusion. And we should start with Haut de la Garenne.
Footage has emerged of a former Conservative MP suggesting to the BBC in 1995 that party whips might not disclose certain behaviour of colleagues including that “involving small boys.”
Tim Fortescue, who was a senior whip in Sir Edward Heath’s government from 1970-73, claimed that MPs would “come and ask if we could help and if we could, we did”.
In a 1995 BBC documentary, Westminster’s Secret Service, he said the following about what the Whips would do for MPs who were in danger of being mired in scandal:[6]
“
For anyone with any sense, who was in trouble, would come to the whips and tell them the truth, and say now, I’m in a jam, can you help? It might be debt, it might be… a scandal involving small boys, or any kind of scandal in which, erm er, a member seemed likely to be mixed up in, they’d come and ask if we could help and if we could, we did. And we would do everything we can because we would store up brownie points… and if I mean, that sounds a pretty, pretty nasty reason, but it’s one of the reasons because if we could get a chap out of trouble then, he will do as we ask forever more.
Fortesque…spending weeks behind the counter in a social security office, as well as with the police and in Walton jail.
He attracted most attention years after he had left politics for his confirmation that the Conservative Whips Office – and no doubt the Labour Party’s also – practised some of the black arts…

Having moved to Winchester, he served with his wife, Anthea, as the Development Manager of the Cathedral from 1989 to 1990, helping restore its financial fortunes.
His time with the police was almost as fruitful. He discovered that the Home Office had told officers that letters levelling accusations against them were “privileged” even if the charges turned out to be malicious, and consequently they could not sue for defamation. He had little time to act on his experiences of prison, as within weeks of his stint at Walton the Conservatives won the 1970 election (Fortescue almost doubling his majority) and he was appointed a whip.

The late Tory home secretary (and alleged satanist) Willie Whitelaw told the same programme how information was recorded in the black or “dirt” book: “The dirt book is just a little book where you write down various things you know or hear about people that may or may not be true. I think you could make a very good guess what sorts of things it contains.”
Fortescue added that “scandalous stories” were whips’ stock-in-trade. “When you are trying to persuade a member to vote the way he didn’t want to vote on a controversial issue – which is part of your job – it is possible to suggest that perhaps it would not be in his interest if people knew something or other – very mildly.”

Former bishop of Chester investigated over abuse allegations
Victor Whitsey, who died in 1987, would have been interviewed over allegations if he were alive, police say
Law firm says the late Victor Whitsey was ‘almost certainly a prolific abuser of children’
17 October 2017
It was Heath’s prompting that led to the appointment of Whitsey to the see of Chester; who was the first choice of neither of the two archbishops though they both put him on their list; a spare time …
The abusive incidents are said to have occurred when Whitsey was in office, including assaults at Bishop’s House in Chester, and when he was in retirement and living in Lancashire.
The former bishop of Chester, Victor Whitsey, is being investigated 30 years after his death over allegations of sexual abuse in the latest scandal involving high-profile figures in the Church of England.
A lawyer representing four of the alleged victims has claimed the abuse was covered up by the C of E and has called for a independent review.
The allegations date from the late 1970s when Whitsey was bishop of Chester, and in the 1980s after he had retired and was living in the diocese of Blackburn.
The C of E said it had supported a police investigation into allegations of sexual offences against children and adults. The police told the church that, had Whitsey still been alive, he would have been interviewed in relation to 10 allegations. Whitsey died in 1987.
In a statement, the archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, and the bishop of Chester, Dr Peter Forster, said: “We are deeply sorry and apologise to those individuals who have come forward to share their account of abuse by a bishop in the Church of England who was in a position of power and authority. We appreciate that it is very difficult for individuals to come forward and to give their account.
“Sexual abuse is a heinous crime – and is an absolute and shameful breach of trust. We acknowledge that for survivors the effects of sexual abuse are lifelong. We are offering pastoral support to all those who have come forward and continue to hold them all in our prayers.”
It added: “The church will consider what lessons can be learned from this case and whether any action needs to be taken as a result of what these inquiries have shown.”
Cheshire police said the allegations related to 13 people, five males and eight females. “The abuse is alleged to have taken place whilst the bishop was living and working in Chester and one incident is reported to have taken place outside the county,” a statement said. The police investigation had spanned 13 months, it added.
Richard Scorer, a specialist abuse lawyer from Slater and Gordon, which represents four of Whitsey’s victims, said: “The abhorrent and disgusting abuse perpetrated by Bishop Whitsey destroyed many lives, driving some to attempt suicide. What is equally abhorrent is that the Church of England knew of his abuse, did nothing to stop it and covered it up. It is crucial that there is now an independent review into Whitsey abuse and who failed to act when they learnt of his heinous behaviour.”
The law firm understands that a complaint was made to the C of E while Whitsey was still serving as bishop of Chester, but it was not passed to police. The church was believed to have been made aware of further allegations following Whitsey’s retirement, but no action was taken.
Slater and Gordon released a statement from one of Whitsey’s alleged victims. It said: “When I met Victor Whitsey I was young, innocent, and naive. I longed for his blessing to achieve my wish of a future as a vicar, serving God and the community. He told me he agreed I had a calling from God. He also told me he had the power to give me everything I wanted in life and the power to take it all away. He then proceeded to abuse me sexually and psychologically. I was powerless to stop him.
“I blamed myself, though I was the only victim and rationalised that it was my fault … I told no one; who would believe a teenage boy’s word against a bishop of the Church of England? I became reclusive and came to the ultimate conclusion. The prospect of ever seeing Victor Whitsey again was so abhorrent to me that I turned my back on my beloved church and my calling to serve God. I self-harmed and have spent a lifetime focusing on resentment and bitterness.
“Twenty years after my abuse, I suffered a complete mental nervous breakdown which included attempted suicide. Because of the sexual abuse I suffered at the hands of Victor Whitsey I lost my faith, my chosen life as a vicar, my self-belief, my freedom from worry and my dignity. Child sex abuse is a crime which stays with you for a lifetime. As a child you don’t understand why or what is happening, but as you grow older you realise the enormity of the abuse and it hurts you all over again – you blame yourself for allowing it – you hate yourself for being weak.
“Since my abuse, not a day has gone by that I have not thought about what happened to me.”
The author of the statement said he hoped there would be a public inquiry “to understand not only what Whitsey did to his victims but to also learn who knew what he was doing, to what extent his actions were intentionally covered up, and who else was complicit in the crimes that he committed, and for which, I continue to suffer every day of my life”.
The church has faced a number of high-profile cases of sexual abuse.
Peter Ball, a former bishop of both Gloucester and Lewes, was jailed in October 2015 for the grooming, sexual exploitation and abuse of 18 vulnerable young men aged 17-25 who had sought spiritual guidance from him between 1977 and 1992. He was released from prison in February after serving 16 months.
A damning independent report, published in June, found that senior figures in the C of E had colluded over a 20-year period with the disgraced former bishop.
The report made harrowing reading, the archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, said. “The church colluded and concealed rather than seeking to help those who were brave enough to come forward. This is inexcusable and shocking behaviour,” he said.
George Carey, a former archbishop of Canterbury who was criticised in the report, resigned as honorary assistant bishop in the diocese of Oxford.
Two years ago, the church issued a formal apology for alleged sexual abuse committed by one of its most senior figures, George Bell, the late bishop of Chichester, who died 57 years ago. It also settled a civil claim brought against Ball by a survivor.
The force identified 13 adult and child alleged victims – five male and eight female – of the late Bishop of Chester Victor Whitsey between 1974 and 1981.
Its report said two victims were aged 13 to 17 and the alleged abuse was carried out in Chester and Lancashire.
A relative, Rachel Whitsey, told the BBC she had no comment to make. The Church of England has apologised.
Bishop Whitsey, who was married with children, retired in 1981 and died in 1987.
‘I’d never let him near children’: Leading child sex abuse expert who investigated said she would not trust former Prime Minister Ted Heath were he alive today
Dr Elly Hanson says Ted Heath would not meet ‘modern safeguarding criteria’
She hit out at the ‘hostile’ response to police enquiry into the late Prime Minister
Compared it to the Harvey Weinstein scandal in being late to surface in media
One of four ‘independent scrutineers’ given full access to secret details of child sex allegations against Sir Edward, Dr Hanson praised the ‘professional, thorough and sensitive’ inquiry.
Dr Hanson said: ‘The hostile response by some to the inquiry into Sir Edward Heath is disappointing. To label everyone who comes forward as fantasist is unfair and unhelpful. It sends completely the wrong message to all victims of sexual abuse.
‘As we have seen in the Weinstein case, if they feel they won’t be listened to they will remain silent.’
It seems the term fantasist only applies when it’s a VIP allegation

…care homes & prisons. The absolute poorest & at risk members of society. Then to be dismissed by these grandiose predators as “rent boys” or “rough trade”. Should they ever tell? They’re then “fantasists”.

In the context of @wiltspoliceCC Heath report, the Playland trials 1 2 & 3 1970-1975 raise new questions about the “millionaires, titled & influential” people purchasing runaway boys at Piccadilly Circus and how they escaped trial while the pimps prostituting the children made veiled threats to reveal who their punters were
Mr Justice Clarke was incredulous that Prichodsky & O’Neill hadn’t been charged with sexual offences against boys which Mr Justice Clarke had found so unsatisfactory he’d ignored Prichodsky’s threat about influential people he knew who liked boys
The problem for Heath’s government was that outside UK others were becoming aware of the blackmail potential of Piccadilly’s punters
1973:Germany’s Stern magazine voiced concern for organised crime or hostile foreign security services using info on Piccadilly Circus
Holloway’s Archer & Andrew-Cohen would flex their power of what they knew about who they knew in Playland Trial No 2
All while being observed by South Africa’s Mervyn Harris researching for his book The Dilly Boys in May 1973
Sun & News of the World turned gaze to a brewing scandal involving “call boys” feared to have compromised national security The Sun reported “‘Vice Probe Sensation: Action soon in ‘Top People’ Sex scandal”
The relief amongst certain circles once Princess Anne’s engagement filled Murdoch’s pages must have been palpable
Was Fortescue aware pimps of Piccadilly Circus prostituting runaway boys were successfully making veiled threats in court cases?
Who was Edward Heath, what are the paedophile allegations against him and what as the child abuse inquiry report revealed?
What did the report reveal?
Heath would be questioned over allegations that he raped and indecently assaulted boys as young as 10 were he alive today, the controversial police report has said.
A Wiltshire Police investigation, called Operation Conifer, concluded that seven of the claims would have been sufficiently credible to justify questioning Sir Edward, who was prime minister under caution.
The report does not address the question of Sir Edward’s guilt or innocence because the remit of the two-year £1.5 million inquiry was to see whether there was enough evidence to interview the former MP for Bexley, who died at home in Salisbury in July 2005, aged 89.
None of the allegations about which Wiltshire Police would have questioned Sir Edward relate to when he was prime minister, the force said.
The Crown Prosecution Service has a policy of not making a charging decision on a suspect who is dead because they cannot be prosecuted.
The allegations Sir Edward would have been questioned over include rape of a boy aged 11, indecent assault of a 10-year-old boy and the indecent assault of a 15-year-old boy during three “paid sexual encounters”, and are said to have occurred between 1961 and 1992 in the Met Police, Kent, Sussex, the Channel Islands and Wiltshire force areas.
Lord Hunt of Wirral, chairman of the Sir Edward Heath Charitable Foundation, and Lord Armstrong of Ilminster, former Cabinet Secretary, said in a statement: “The Wiltshire Police report is profoundly unsatisfactory because it neither justifies nor dispels the cloud of suspicion.”
The report stressed that “no inference of guilt” should be made from the fact he would have faced questioning.
What were the allegations against Ted Heath?
The 100-page “summary closure report” details 42 allegations made against Sir Edward and categorises them as:
Seven alleged victims whose accounts would warrant interviewing him under caution
19 cases where Sir Edward would not have wheelbeen interviewed under caution because of the extent of undermining evidence
It’s been a very clever pr exercise. Wilts fuzz shown to be impartial – other forces therefore also -by inference- have done their job – no cover up and nothing conclusive on Heath. He would surely have refuted allegations – had a myriad of cover stories and people to vouch for him. conclusion, no high level abuse – no cover up – just insufficient reliable victim/survivor evidence to pursue. Also iicsa now take over the data – bury it – and besides their ToR aren’t geared to prosecutions or id of perps. Case closed for next 5 years.

Ted Heath ‘abused boys young as 11’: Bombshell police report details 42 assault claims and one ‘rape of underage male’ with two cases linked to ex-premier’s interest in sailing
The controversial report into paedophile allegations against Sir Edward Heath includes claims he sexually assaulted boys as young as 11
Some of the more serious allegations are linked to the sailing world
The report will say that seven of the allegations are sufficiently credible to justify questioning Sir Edward under caution were he alive today
30 September 2017
Some of the most serious allegations, which include at least one rape and span his five decades as an MP, are linked to the sailing world. The former Prime Minister was a skilled yachtsman.
The report will say that seven of the allegations are sufficiently credible to justify questioning Sir Edward under caution were he alive today. One of the seven is said to involve the rape of an underage boy. Two were linked to his interest in sailing and allegedly occurred in Guernsey and Jersey.
It is thought that at least two of the other seven most serious allegations occurred in Wiltshire, where Sir Edward lived at Arundells, a mansion in Salisbury. It is not known if the alleged crimes happened there.
Two separate allegations are said to have been made by individuals in ‘prominent’ positions today. It is thought they were reporting the alleged abuse of others.
The Mail on Sunday has been told that at least one allegation relates to a boy younger than 11 but we have been unable to confirm this.
And according to one unconfirmed report, some claims refer to the music world – Heath was known as an orchestra conductor.
It is understood that the report rejects three of the main arguments used by Sir Edward’s friends to combat the allegations: that he would have few opportunities to commit such crimes because he couldn’t drive and never owned a car; that for most of his long career he had round-the-clock police protection; and that he was asexual.
The report says Sir Edward’s former police bodyguards said they did not watch him 24 hours a day and that for much of his political life he had no protection at all.
It says he could drive – though bizarrely there is no record of him having had a driving licence – and at various times owned a Rover 2000 and Vauxhall Viva.
And it says former aides said they were certain he did have consenting sexual relationships with adults.
Furthermore, the report says:
42 claims of child sex abuse include at least one rape of an underage boy. Most alleged victims were boys aged 11 to 15;
Some were rent boys or from ‘low-life’ backgrounds. Others were boys he encountered elsewhere. Nine of the 42 claims were already on police files, in some cases for decades, but had been dismissed;
Allegations date from the mid- 1950s when he was Chief Whip to the 1990s when he was in his 70s;
Places where alleged crimes occurred are generally referred to as ‘public places’. At least one is said to have happened in a hotel. Two allegations were made by ‘senior professionals’. Mr Veale is expected to say that he went to great lengths to avoid errors made by other police investigations into historic sex abuse allegations
The inquiry was told by a retired Wiltshire policeman that plans to prosecute an individual in the 1990s were dropped when the person threatened to claim in court that they had procured rent boys for Sir Edward.
Mr Veale recruited eight of Britain’s most senior retired detectives to boost the 24-strong Wiltshire Police inquiry.
Mr Veale is expected to give a robust response to those who say it is pointless to investigate a dead man on the grounds that he can never be put in the dock, arguing that police have a special duty to probe alleged corruption in high places. Conifer was set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
No victims are referred to by name in the 100-page inquiry summary to honour a pledge of lifetime anonymity – although they are included in the full 350-page report given to the Home Office and the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA).
This newspaper has been told the report lists the allegations against Sir Edward, who died aged 89 in 2005, in five categories:
1. Seven ‘victims’ whose accounts would warrant interviewing him under caution, including the alleged rape of a boy.
2. Sixteen ‘vulnerable’ cases whose accounts fall just short of similar action due to an ‘element of undermining evidence’, including fading memory.
3. Ten cases including ‘third parties’ – complainants who said others had been abused by Sir Edward but not themselves. When police tracked down the alleged victims in these cases they gave the same account, but named other individuals as being the person who had been abused. It is thought that they wanted to expose Sir Edward without admitting he had assaulted them. It includes people who are married with children and want to put the matter behind them but felt compelled to act as well.
4. Six cases including one individual who is to be prosecuted over three bogus claims. Three others withdrew complaints.
5. Three complaints were made anonymously.
Q Why haven’t the 42 allegations come to police attention before?
A Several did but were dismissed as bogus. Mr Veale reopened complaints buried in police files. The report says some did not complain at the time because they feared they would be ignored in an age when such complaints against VIPs were rarely investigated.
Q If only seven ‘victims’ would warrant police action, are the others bogus?
A Not necessarily. Police erred on the side of caution, and at least two were left out of the top category at the last minute.
Q What happens now?
A The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse said last month it is to study whether the report has any relevance to claims of an historic Westminster child sex ring and allegations of a cover-up involving Government Whips.
Police: If Ted Heath was alive today we’d quiz him under caution on child abuse claims
Operation Conifer inquiry into Edward Heath will be made public on October 5
Findings will reveal about 40 people made paedophile claims against Sir Edward
Chief Constable Mike Veale’s report will say seven of which are ‘credible’ claims
Sir Edward died in 2005 aged 89 – if alive today he’d be interviewed under caution, says the MoS
Child sexual abuse claims made against Sir Edward Heath by seven of his alleged victims are serious enough that police would have questioned him under caution if he were still alive.
That is the astonishing verdict of a controversial two-year investigation into the former Tory Prime Minister, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
The explosive findings of the Operation Conifer inquiry into Sir Edward, led by Wiltshire Chief Constable Mike Veale, will be made public on October 5. It is believed the findings will reveal that about 40 people made paedophile claims against Sir Edward, who died in 2005 aged 89, covering five decades.
According to Whitehall sources, Mr Veale’s report will say seven of the alleged victims are ‘credible’ and describe the same pattern of behaviour by their ‘abuser’.
A Government source said an ‘interview under caution’ is, in effect, the strongest action that Mr Veale could recommend with regard to Sir Edward.
After an ‘interview with caution’ police would send a file to the Crown Prosecution Service, which would decide whether to prosecute. ‘It was never the task of Operation Conifer to decide whether Sir Edward was guilty, and clearly there was never any question of recommending prosecution in this case,’ a Government source said.

An ‘interview under caution’ usually takes place at a police station with the consent of the accused. If they refuse to attend, they can be arrested.
Mr Veale’s report will say testimonies by around a dozen more ‘victims’ cannot be relied on because they may have been ‘damaged’ by their experiences; a further dozen involve so called ‘third party’ allegations, where people have come forward to describe the alleged abuse of others.
A number of claims have been dismissed as bogus or fantasy.
Mr Veale has faced fierce criticism from senior Tories and mandarins who worked for Heath when he was in power in the 1970s.
They have accused police of wasting £2 million of public money on the inquiry, claiming the allegations are ‘fantasy’. Others said it would have been impossible for Sir Edward to commit such crimes when for much of his career he was accompanied by police protection. Only last week, former Director of Public Prosecutions Lord Macdonald said Mr Veale’s investigation was a ‘tragi-comedy of incompetence’.
But Mr Veale received a major boost yesterday as two fellow senior police chiefs, who are thought to have been briefed on progress by Operation Conifer, fired a warning shot at his powerful detractors.
Norfolk Chief Constable Simon Bailey, who supervises all UK historic child sex investigations, and Durham Chief Constable Mike Barton, who supervises national police operations, cautioned against attempts to ‘undermine’ Mr Veale.
In a statement to the MoS they stressed police must be able to investigate ‘without fear or favour’, adding: ‘They should be able to carry out investigations with complete independence without commentary which threatens to undermine the process.
‘While we await the findings of the Sir Edward Heath inquiry, it would be wrong to speculate on its content or the actions of individuals who have conducted the investigation.’
It was vital that police were given the funds ‘to conduct what can be complex and time-consuming inquiries’, they added.
The Mail on Sunday can also disclose that earlier this year a review of Mr Veale’s inquiry was undertaken by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary, which ruled it was ‘reasonable and proportionate’.
In another apparent vote of confidence in Mr Veale, Home Secretary Amber Rudd last week signed off a £1.1 million payment to help fund the investigation into Sir Edward – a blow to Tory MPs who wanted her to refuse to pay. Significantly, she signed off the payment shortly after receiving a summary of Mr Veale’s findings.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse also said it would study Mr Veale’s findings after being briefed on his report.
Mr Veale’s view that allegations against Sir Edward would be serious enough to justify interrogation under caution were he alive is likely to spark a major row and calls for him to resign by some Tories convinced Sir Edward is innocent. A similar investigation into claims of a Westminster child sex ring involving 1980s Home Secretary Leon Brittan and others, by the Metropolitan Police – Operation Midland – collapsed last year after it was revealed the key claims were made by a fantasist. But there have also been allegations of an Establishment cover-up.
Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen, who has staunchly defended ‘courageous and honest’ Mr Veale, said: ‘Having set up the inquiry it would have been appalling if the Government had refused to pay for it.
‘Mr Veale must be allowed to present his findings free of abuse or intimidation, and that includes my fellow Conservative MPs. Just because Operation Midland was a failure does not mean Operation Conifer should be ignored.
‘There are powerful forces in the Establishment that always want to cover things up.’
This newspaper revealed in February that Mr Veale believed some of the claims concerning Sir Edward were ‘120 per cent’ genuine.

Barrister brands mum of murdered schoolgirl Sarah Payne as ‘brain damaged’ in online rant
Human rights lawyer Barbara Hewson has been referred to the Bar Standards Board over the trolling of anti-paedophile crusader who suffered a stroke
A BARRISTER branded child abuse campaigner Sara Payne “brain damaged” in an online rant.
Human rights lawyer Barbara Hewson trolled the mum of murdered schoolgirl Sarah on Twitter.
In a tweet referring to a Sun justice campaign led by Sara and fellow anti-paedophile crusader Shy Keenan, the controversial lawyer wrote: ““A wicked crusade by Shy and her brain-damaged cohort, Sara.”
Sara, 49, suffered a stroke brought on by a brain aneurysm eight years ago which left her partially paralysed.
Ms Hewson’s trolling has been referred to the Bar Standards Board, which regulates barristers.
A source said: “It is a shockingly disgraceful attack on Sara, who had the misfortune to have her daughter murdered and later to have suffered a stroke.”
The tweet, posted last Wednesday, has since been deleted.
Ms Hewson, 56, who prides herself on her controversial online presence, was accused of trolling a number of child sex abuse victims earlier this year.
And she got a police harassment warning last March after a complaint by fellow lawyer Sarah Phillimore. She left her chambers the following month and is now self-employed.
Yesterday she said: “I used the expression ‘brain damaged’ as I understand Dr Payne had a stroke many years ago. You will be aware that a stroke causes brain damage.”
The Bar Standards Board and Sara Payne did not comment last night.
Roy Whiting got life in jail in 2001 for Sarah’s murder.

Jack Mount of Brookside School Culmington Manor Shropshire
Jack Mount was the headmaster and owner of Brookside School, a privately-run school in Craven Arms, Shropshire. Brookside School opened in 1965 and closed in 1985.
He had numerous charges brought against him including rape and indecent assault which he denied. The alleged abuse spanned many years with over 100 individuals making complaints to the police.
Culmington Manor is a 100-acre (40 ha) estate that today hosts various events and residential trips, providing exceptional facilities in an area of outstanding natural beauty.[18] The park was created in the 19th century when the Manor was “surrounded by a small park, with two lodges at the entrance to drives”.[19]
alun@ciabado
Folks, this is the man Barbara Hewson squarely sided with, using his case to belittle the work of Shy Keenan. Is it a coincidence that Hewson’s stalker buddy Penny Mellor also befriended this dirty old perv?
After Janner, Savile and Hall, it doesn’t surprise me in the least that Barbara Hewson comes down on the side of this man at the expense of child abuse campaigner Shy Keenan
Barbara Hewson, you define yourself by whom you defend and by whom you vilify.

This was a big trial, and if not for is two daughters who are now in there late 60s went to the police and told them , there father Jack Mount also abused them when they were children , The police took statements and this is why the CPS put into action on a man who as walked away all these years time and time again, and again walked away
…I believe that the Sunday Times has defamed me, an issue that could have been easily avoided by some basic research as nearly all the documentation I have referred to is already in the public domain.
I expect both clarification and suitable retractions to appear in the next edition of the Sunday Times.
Regarding our conversation, it is surprising that your article does not mention that the Heath government was covertly concealing evidence of sexual crimes committed by Conservative MPs against minors, as confirmed by the Chief Whip at the time, Tim Fortescue, on the BBC TV interview of 1995, which was repeated in 2014. I wrote to the BBC`s Director General, Lord Hall, who confirmed that a copy of this film had been submitted to the IICSA in 2014.
If you would like copies of key documents, please let me know. It is only fair that you should have all the true facts and evidence before you.
There are two things you can guarantee when sexual abuse of children surfaces as an issue.
The first is that certain media commentators start talking about mob hysteria and witchhunts (Iain Martin – Telegraph, Matthew Parris – Times, Charles Moore – Telegraph, David Aaronovitch – Times).
Are you an establishment figure with a problem? Perhaps as Tim Fortescue said “a problem with small boys?” No problem, our presstitutes at the Times are experts in smearing police investigations and writing hit pieces. Please contact @TimesONeill@DAaronovitch@Fhamiltontimes
Classic deflection tactics. Modus operandi is clear. The Aaronovitch/Kamm/MSM smear playbook: attack their credibility; call them a conspiracy theorist; link them to Russia; question financial motives.

National child sex abuse inquiry to consider Edward Heath probe reports
9 Sept 2017
The national child sex abuse inquiry will consider police reports of the investigation into Sir Edward Heath.
The Wiltshire Police probe, called Operation Conifer, was launched in 2015 after Sir Edward was named as a suspect in an investigation into historical child sex abuse.
There are currently 13 arms to the inquiry, scrutinising areas of public life ranging from local authorities to Westminster for child protection failings.
On August 30 it opened core participant applications for the Westminster investigation.
A spokesman for the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) said: “In the context of the Westminster investigation, the Inquiry will be interested to see and consider the outcome of Wiltshire Police’s investigation into allegations against Sir Edward Heath.
“The Inquiry’s remit is institutional failure to protect children and the Inquiry is unlikely to need to examine whether allegations of abuse made against any particular parliamentarian are true during the course of its work.
Here’s another one for ‘Lady’ Brittan and her family: The most sexualised child he had ever seen!

I look forward to when Leon Brittan’s offending and subsequent cover-up of the Dickens Dossier is exposed…..
Teen rent boy VANISHED after spying on VIP paedo ring
A TEENAGE rent boy sent to investigate a VIP paedo ring vanished after being asked to photograph the orgies.
A newspaper gave the lad a camera after he volunteered to expose the high-class perverts abusing youngsters at sex parties in the early 1980s.The lad named then-Home Secretary Leon Brittan as an attendee at the parties.But he disappeared hours after starting his probe – and was never seen again.The investigation was launched by journalists on a Sunday newspaper after a panicked late-night phone call from a different rent boy, who told reporters he feared for his life because a policeman tasked with protecting him had been ordered to close the case.In a shocking hour-long cry for help, he had told the newsmen: “Please, please help me. I’m in terrible danger. They will know I’ve been talking to the police.”Sobbing, he went on: “You cannot imagine what they will do to me if I’m caught. I have seen what they have done to others.”Reporters working on the 1980s case last week recalled they had no doubts the caller’s fears were real.The lad told them how he had become a rent boy working in London’s Leicester Square having arrived in the capital some years earlier.He began attending what he called “sex parties” in luxury houses and flats, and described the guests as “important, wealthy people, some very well-spoken”.He said he and other rent boys would be sent messages telling them when and where to wait for a car that would arrive and take them to a party.There would be good food and drink on offer for the lads – some of who were “quite young”, the worker said.He said he had no idea where the other lads came from, although some were runaways.When reporters pressed him about who the adults were attending these parties, the lad said they included MPs, and added: “Leon Brittan, he’s the Home Secretary.”Many other important men were present, but he said he didn’t know names.Some jetted in to an airfield on the outskirts of London – possibly RAF Northolt – and some of the UK-based men would fly abroad to join in orgies there. The teen said he thought Belgium was one destination.But one night he witnessed something – he wouldn’t say what – that left him fearing for his own and other boys’ safety.It was those fears that led to him contacting detectives at the Metropolitan police, sparking the investigation that had just collapsed when he contacted reporters.
It was in that first conversation with journalists at the Sunday Mirror that he said a detective had told him that the investigation had been stopped.“He told me that he’d been ordered to stop the investigation and could do nothing to help me,” the teen said.The boy then gave reporters the detective’s name and his direct telephone number.But when the paper called up, the detective said: “Don’t ever ring or try to contact me again.”The reporter said he knew Leon Brittan was involved and asked to meet up – but that terrified the policeman.“Look please – go away,” he said. “Don’t tell anyone you have spoken to me. I’ve been ordered to stop the investigation. All my files are gone.”Asked who had ordered the investigation stopped, he said: “The very top. It comes from there right down to my boss.“It has been made clear to me my job is on the line, my whole career. Please, leave me alone.”And he hung up.link

Paedophile Information Exchange: Leon Brittan ‘opposed banning pro-child sex campaign group‘
New papers show MP Geoffrey Dickens begged the late Home Secretary to outlaw the Paedophile Information Exchange – but his plea was rebuffed
A former senior detective has said police received allegations of child sex abuse made against Sir Edward Heath in 2001 – while the former prime minister was still alive.
The alleged victims were unhappy with Scotland Yard’s response, it is claimed.
An alleged victim, a woman, was interviewed by Clive Driscoll. He was then a detective inspector and in 2012 secured convictions against Stephen Lawrence’s murderers. He retired last year having reached the rank of detective chief inspector.
Driscoll told the Guardian the woman he interviewed said she had been abused as a child by a group of people, including Heath on multiple occasions: “The person was 100% sure they were talking about Ted Heath. She totally believed what she was saying and that’s where the investigation starts, not where it stops.”
The woman claimed the abuse happened at a time after Heath had served as prime minister. Driscoll said others made similar abuse allegations, but he was not asked to take statements from them.
Driscoll said those close to people who said they were attacked by Heath were unhappy with the police response to their claims.
Driscoll was picked for the task of interviewing the complainant, having been moved off a child sex abuse investigation in Lambeth, south London, after unearthing claims a Labour party figure may have been involved.
On Tuesday night there was no comment from the Metropolitan police.
Never forget Proctor was found guilty and jailed for underage sex. Like Jonathan King he’s an unrepentant paedophile.

Harvey Proctor’s legal threat to child sex abuse probe: Former MP threatens High Court challenge if his ‘fantasist’ accuser is given special legal status
30 Aug 2017
Former Member of Parliament Harvey Proctor said he would bring a costly judicial review if anonymous man known only as ‘Nick’ is given privileged access
He said it would be wrong to make the suspected fantasist a ‘core participant’
Northumbria Police brought into prove claims ‘Nick’ invented lurid allegations
Met police ‘lost’ two interviews with Nick about Edward Heath
February 8 2018
Scotland Yard has been unable to locate some of the interviews detectives conducted with the alleged fantasist who prompted the VIP child abuse inquiry.
Detectives described claims made by the man known as Nick, who has since been charged with paedophile offences, as “credible and true” after conducting a series of interviews.
However, at least two excerpts, relating to abuse claims that Nick made about the late prime minister Edward Heath, have gone missing, sources said.
It will add to concerns about Operation Midland, the Met’s £2.5 million inquiry into prominent figures that relied on Nick as its sole complainant.
Since the truth re. Heath has emerged, I’m more intrigued than ever as to why this woman always rushes to the defence of paedo politicians.

I sincerely believe that @InquiryCSAshould also look into the relentless bashing of CSA survivors by barrister Barbara Hewson. (Cousin of Jonathan Denby – friend and former solicitor of Harvey Proctor)
Have I missed something? Is Harvey Proctor now running@InquiryCSA ?
I thought he was impoverished? Who is giving him serious financial backing? And why?

I struggle to believe that non of his supporters here have never offered him a room. They surely would not see him in a shed?
And can’t his longstanding mate Jonathan Denby spare a bob or two for some better digs?

Why not let @InquiryCSA hear the submissions & stop interfering Mr Proctor. You’re not the one who decides what an Independent Inquiry does

Harvey Proctor, the one who taught English to a naked young Arab boy & caned English ones
Proctor claimed in his book (ironically titled “Credible and True”) he only took to his room to teach him how to speak English?
It’s intriguing as to why the boy had to be naked to learn English, don’t you think?

Findings of Sir Edward Heath ‘child sex’ investigation to be released
THE findings of a police investigation into allegations that Sir Edward Heath was a paedophile will be published in the summer.
Those close to Operation Conifer have rubbished claims that the investigation has been wound up, revealing that officers are still pursuing “significant lines of inquiry”.It had been reported that no evidence had been found to tarnish the former prime minister’s reputation and that any findings would not be published.
But a Wiltshire Police source said: “The investigation is ongoing and hasn’t been closed
We’ve got a team of 20 people still working on it following a number of significant lines of inquiry.
“A public report is due to be published in June.
“There appears to be a bunch of people who are pro-Ted Heath in the House of Lords and Parliament who have been insisting ‘there’s nothing to see here’ and suggesting that the investigation has been wound up. It hasn’t.
we’d hardly be continuing inquiries and planning to publish a report if there was nothing to say.”
The investigation began in August 2015 when Supt Sean Memory, standing outside Sir Edward’s former home in Salisbury, launched an appeal for alleged victims to come forward.
I hope the 30-odd VICTIMS of Edward Heath have the courage to come forward and put the details of their ordeal in the public domain!
Would @JGray care to comment on why he and fellow MPs have stubbornly defended a paedophile PM?
James Gray, Tory MP for North Wiltshire, demanded that Mike Veale, chief constable of Wiltshire Police, stand down if the inquiry fails to find evidence of serious wrongdoing.
Two-year investigation into allegations that Sir Edward Heath was a paedophile is branded an ‘idiotic waste of public money’
MP for North Wiltshire James Gray said probe was ‘pretty pointless investigation’
James Gray MP signed an early day motion for Jimmy Savile – maybe Gray’s not such a good judge of character
Edward Heath’s principal private secretary when he was prime minister, Lord Armstrong of Ilminster, said he expects the force’s chief constable to come under increased pressure to stand down on the publication of the summary findings.
‘I think Mr Veale will be subject to a great deal of criticism if this investigation proves to be a dead duck. It is for him and his crime commissioner to decide whether he goes or stays. He will be under great pressure to resign,’ Lord Armstrong told The Telegraph.
Mr Gray has accused the force of wasting money and resources on a case that could never be brought to court.
‘He’s dead, for goodness’ sake, and the case against him seems pretty flimsy to say the least’ said the MP writing for his local paper the Wiltshire Gazette.

We are all behind James,It is thanks to Craig Simpson that we have got this story out
Arrests have been made as part of the investigation into sexual abuse at Surrey children’s home
6 Sept 2017
Arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation into alleged child sex abuse at a Surrey children’s home.
Former residents of Beechholme “children’s village”, in Banstead, have come forward to make allegations of historical abuse at the now-demolished site.
Surrey Police confirmed they were investigating the home, which housed poor and vulnerable children, for abuse alleged to have taken place between 1957 and 1974.
The force has now confirmed that arrests have been made in relation to the alleged historical abuse.
Probe launched into house of horrors ‘where at least 118 kids were beaten, abused and tortured’
Former residents of Beecholme Children’s Home in Banstead, Surrey, have claimed they were abused by male and female staff members, as well as outsiders
6 JAN 2018
Officers are also investigating claims the Beecholme cases are linked to the notorious Shirley Oaks abuse ring.
The home housed poor children from infants to teenagers in what were intended to be “idyllic cottages”.
One former resident at Beechholme, in Banstead, has said he is “beyond angry” at the scale of the alleged sexual and physical abuse against vulnerable children.
It has been established through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request that at least 58 people have made formal complaints about abuse in the care home.
Police have indicated that these numbers are likely to rise.
It is understood that many of those who have reported suffering sexual abuse at the so-called “children’s village” at Beechholme have made multiple allegations.
There may be as many as 105 separate allegations against alleged abusers at the now-demolished home for orphans and vulnerable children.
This may also be set to rise, as Surrey Police indicate the numbers they receive are changing “on a daily basis”.
The home was under the control of London County Council from 1930, before being handed over to Wandsworth in 1965 and closing its doors in 1974 for demolition the following year.
Surrey Police are investigating claims of abuse between 1957 and 1974.
Graeme Sargeant entered the home as a young boy in 1960, and the now 61-year-old claims he suffered repeated abuse at the hands of adults at Beechholme where he claims he was forced to perform sex acts and paraded around naked.
He now campaigns on behalf of other survivors of alleged abuse at the home on Fir Tree Road and is angered by the scale of the alleged suffering
Mr Sargeant said: “It makes me more than angry. I’m seething.
“I’ve been informed that there have been 105 allegations about Beechholme.
“It is hard to believe the extent of the allegations, they are of a perverted nature and go right back.”
Arrest have been made as part of the investigation into alleged abuse at Beechholme, with people released under investigation.
There are believed to be staff links between Beechholme and an abuser who worked for the infamous Shirley Oaks care home.
It is understood the current investigation may take four years but Mr Sargeant, who works to represent other Beechholme residents, wants action.
He has had to relive the memories of Beechholme as more people come to him to share their harrowing stories.
The burden has taken its toll on Mr Sargeant who is still plagued by nightmares from his days in care and beset by flashbacks.
But he is determined to campaign for answers as to what happened in the children’s home where he says he was robbed of a childhood.
He said: “It upsets me. The things you hear are horrendous.
“Their stories have got to be told though. These people can’t be allowed to have suffered in vain.
“These people do not deserve to have been treated like this.
“I’m having nightmares and flashbacks. I’m also hearing what others have gone through – it’s dark.
“But however long it takes we will get justice.”

@BarbaraHewson
Hello Barbara. I was wondering if we might have a chat about your writing/campaigning re CSA survivors?
LazerLight@Lazer_Light23
She (Hewson) appears to go obsessively from one survivor to another. There’s more to this than meets the eye, you can be sure of that.
Dame Alun Roberts@ciabaudo
Yes, makes you wonder what her motives are and who she is protecting. And who is pulling her strings!
Coincidence that cousin and uncle of Hewson had multiple links to paedo scene while she allies herself with hard-core convicted paedos?
Will Barbara Hewson stand by her mockery of CSA survivors on TV or is she just a keyboard warrior?
Crafty Muvva@craftymuvva
Myself and JR were last night’s targets because I mentioned the ‘Heath’ word. It triggers her. It’s a Proctor/Johnathan Denby thing…
Dame Alun Roberts@ciabaudo
Yes, she doesn’t like being reminded that she is the cousin of Proctor’s solicitor and that he and her uncle had contacts with paedophiles.
A campaign to frighten a former friend and business associate! There is something weird about that family!
Mr Denby was in desperate need of money and had given his former partners charges for the sum over his assets, including his Georgian town house in Canonbury Square, Islington, north London.
Outrage at barrister who called Stuart Hall’s crimes ‘low level’

Her cousin, Jonathan Denby, has been a good friend of Proctor for almost 50yrs. Est. 1968. Don’t mention ‘Enoch’ or Denby’s conviction.
LazerLight@Lazer_Light23
And whatever you do, don’t mention Cleveland. Makes them very jumpy
Darren Harper@sanctionedman
When they ridicule such an investigation you know it has merit.
Dame Alun Roberts@ciabaudo
Armstrong knew about (paedophile) Peter Hayman all along. I will hazard a guess he knew about Heath too! Lord Armstrong nonchalantly admits he was fully aware of Hayman’s perversion but didn’t give a toss about the kids.
Patrick Rock was a Conservative activist and Parliamentary candidate from the late 1970s onwards. He was given an OBE for political service in 1992. In 2011 David Cameron brought him into No 10 as Deputy Director of Policy. He was charged with making indecent images of children in 2014. He received a two-year conditional discharge in June last year.
When the Tories returned to power, William Whitelaw stepped into the post of Chief Whip. He unashamedly confessed that he continued the practice to the BBC in 1995: “‘The Dirt Book’ is just a little book where you write down various things you know or hear about people that may or may not be true. I think you could make a very good guess what sorts of things it contains”.
William Whitelaw became NI Secretary, 1972-1974. Hence by 1972, both the British PM and the NI Secretary were experienced sexual blackmailers, hardly a deterrent to anyone in the intelligence community who wanted to engage in sexual blackmail at places like Kincora.
Heath appointed William Whitelaw as the first Secretary of State for NI. Whitelaw’s heart was already encased in ice from his stint as a blackmailing chief whip. The Kincora scandal festered under his NI watch. When he served as Home Secretary, 1979-83, he maintained his sleazy habits. On 6 December 2014, the Mail reported that in 1980 he “allegedly told a senior Metropolitan Police boss to quash a year-long investigation into a gang accused of abusing 40 children, the youngest of whom was six”. The alleged intervention came in 1980 after a newspaper revealed the country’s chief prosecutor was considering 350 offences against the gang, including allegations it “obtained young boys for politicians, prominent lawyers and film stars. The report, published on July 7 that year in the Evening News – a daily London newspaper – revealed police had passed evidence to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and that up to 12 men could face trial for procuring boys and sexual assault”.
The journalist who wrote the story was Jeff Edwards. He revealed that just days after it was published he was summoned by police to an interview and threatened with prosecution under the Official Secrets Act. According to the Mail, “Edwards also claims his source, a serving police officer, was disciplined and fined six months’ wages for leaking the story”.
Whitelaw’s deputy at the NIO during 1972-74 was the late William van Straubenzee, another lifelong bachelor. He was named in child abuse files unearthed by the Cabinet Office in July of 2015. The detail of the allegations levelled against him are still unclear save that they concerned child abuse.
There were other pernicious appointments: in 1973 Heath placed Sir Maurice Oldfield in charge of MI6, where he served until 1978. Oldfield was a notorious abuser of rent boys. The Hart Report reveals that records furnished to it by MI6 demonstrated that Oldfield had a ‘relationship’ with the ‘head’ of Kincora. The nature of the relationship was not described but it cannot have been innocent.
On 23 April 1987, Margaret Thatcher dropped a bombshell in the House of Commons when she revealed that after Oldfield’s appointment as Security Co-ordinator in Northern Ireland in October 1979, “reports were received which caused his positive vetting clearance to be reviewed. In March 1980, in the course of that review, he made an admission that he had from time to time engaged in homosexual activities.
Heath did not need to infiltrate one of his creatures into the Ministry of Defence because it already had a resident monster, Sir James Dunnett. He ran it between 1969 and 1974. Dunnett infamously paid male prostitutes whom he picked up at Piccadilly Circus – ‘Dilly Boys’ – for sex. His reputation was shattered by his involvement with Vicky de Lambray, a transvestite male prostitute who stole his cheque book. De Lambray was put on trial in March 1983 instantly igniting a media frenzy during which Dunnett’s name became public knowledge. De Lambray later died in suspicious circumstances.
The RU C spent decades covering up the crimes of the A-IVR. It is not possible to put a figure on how many lives were destroyed. At a minimum, it involved hundreds of boys, and also some girls.
In June of 2016 BBC NI’s Spotlight exposed the aberrant crimes of Dr Moris Fraser, a psychiatrist who specialised in child psychiatry. Fraser is still alive. Richard Kerr was sent to him for a review while he was still a resident at Williamstown House. Fraser took photographs of his private parts and later visited him at the home. Kerr was only ten. Fraser groped him during these visits. Kerr was later abused while a resident at Kincora and then trafficked to England.
It will be interesting to see if Fraser will be arrested by the PSNI, the successor organisation to the RUC. The darker elements of MI5 will be shocked if this happens because Fraser knows many of the secrets of the A-IVR. Worse still, his prosecution would undermine the finding of the Hart Report that Kincora was an isolated aberration and not part of a wider network.
Protecting the Anglo-Irish Vice Ring
For decades the members of the A-IVR were untouchable. That changed after the eruption of the Troubles, when MI5 swept in and blackmailed and exploited some of them for various nefarious reasons.
One of their victims was Richard Kerr, who was put into care on 16 December, 1966. At the age of 8 he was abused by Eric Witchell, an Anglican lay monk, who was a friend of the man who ran Kincora Boys’ Home, Warden Joe Mains. Witchell was later jailed for abusing other boys at Williamson House, where he had been headmaster.
Richard Kerr is a key individual with regards to allegations of child abuse at Kincora. It was his social workers who first highlighted the goings-on at Kincora.

Westminster Strategy gains Bercow expertise
April 19, 1996
Lobbying firm Westminster Strategy has recruited ex-ministerial special adviser John Bercow as a senior consultant.
Bercow was previously adviser to heritage secretary Virginia Bottomley, before which he supported former Chief Secretary to the Treasury Jonathan Aitken.
Bercow became a special adviser in 1995 after six years as a consultant with Rowland Sallingbury Casey. He left Virginia Bottomley’s office in February after being selected as Tory parliamentary candidate for Buckingham.
Westminster Strategy director James Gray, himself a Tory parliamentary hopeful for North Wiltshire, said that Bercow would add an ‘enormous amount’ to the agency. He said his three main contributions would be his long experience as a public affairs consultant, his experience in government departments and his inside knowledge of the Conservative Party.

Top Edinburgh school removes ex-head’s portrait amid sex abuse inquiry
Fettes College is one of the most expensive private schools in Scotland.
25 March 2018
A leading private school has removed a portrait of one its former headmasters from its Great Hall, ahead of a major inquiry into historical sexual abuse examines claims against him. Fettes College in Edinburgh have taken the action as the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry looks into allegations against Anthony Chenevix-Trench following allegations he would beat pupils for his own sexual gratification. The school, whose alumni include former Prime Minister Tony Blair, has also carried out its own internal investigation over the claims. Chenevix-Trench, was appointed to his post at Fettes in 1971 and remained until his death in 1979, aged 60. David Blackie, 71, who claims to have endured brutal sadism from Chenevix-Trench, campaigned for the school to remove the portrait. A statement released by Fettes’ governors said: “We have no information to suggest that any crime was committed by Mr Chenevix-Trench while at Fettes. “However, as we have reported to the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry, his specific judgment in handling two specific matters did not measure up to the excellent pastoral care we pride ourselves on at Fettes today.”
Abuser: Cyril Smith with ex-Liberal leaders Jeremy Thorpe (left) and David Steel. A man has alleged he was introduced to Mr Steel by Smith after he was taken to London by the paedophile MP
A Panorama programme about the former Liberal leader Jeremy Thorpe, which was pulled by the BBC in 1979, is finally to be shown on television.
The decision to axe the documentary was taken by Ian Trethowan, then the BBC’s director-general, who ordered producers to hand over, or destroy, all copies about the married MP accused of conspiracy to murder his former lover, Norman Scott.
However, Tom Mangold, 83, who was the reporter on the programme, said: “I kept one copy. It’s a programme about an Establishment cover-up.”
The programme had uncovered details of the most sensational political scandal in a generation. it revealed that the police and security services knew about Thorpe’s…
In this Mailonline article by Tom Mangold’s, a highly respected journalist, ex Panorama, etc., he clearly says FBI tipped off Special Branch and Devon and Cornwall Police that on his visits to New York Thorpe picked up rent boys in Times Square.
Jeremy Thorpe was also friends with Atkinson of Fastens fame and Jimmy Savile and is said, like PaedoBrittan, to have been a frequent visitor of Keith Harding.
Love rat Conservative MP claims expenses for rent he pays to Tory donor
James Gray claims for a second home and office that are both owned through a trust by local party grandee Sir James Henry Fleetwood Fuller, 4th Baronet
Sir James and his family have given the Tories almost £20,000.
The gifts include £5,740 to Mr Gray’s local North Wiltshire party from the Baronet’s grandmother Lady Mary.
The MP rents the farmhouse and adjacent office at Ganbrook Farm from Andrews Settlement, a trust of Sir James’s Neston Park estate
That is despite the local Conservative Association building several miles away being publicly listed as his constituency office.
Mr Gray claims £4,800-a-year from Commons allowances for the office and another £13,474 for the second home.
Sir James has given £2,000 to the neighbouring Chippenham Conservative Association while his grandmother has donated another £17,950 to the Tories.
Mr Gray today said he had “no idea whether he is a Tory donor or not”.
And the North Wiltshire MP insisted: “It’s not a money-go-round at all.”
The two leases have been approved by the expenses watchdog, he stressed.
“It really is clutching at straws with this because there is absolutely nothing even slightly improper about any of it,” he added.
But the cosy arrangement was slammed by Mark Serwotka, of the civil service PCS union.
“While Tories cheerfully drive more people into poverty by cutting pay and social security for the unemployed, sick and disabled, they’re all too happy to line the pockets of their wealthy friends,” he said.
Mr Gray hit the headlines by cheating on his cancer-stricken wife with a married woman Philippa Mayo, in 2006.
He has since married Philippa, who is paid up to £35,000-a-year of taxpayers’ cash as his diary secretary.
Parliament’s website says that Mr Gray can be contacted through his local Conservative Association office and even gives the email of a woman who works there.
But the MP said he had not been based there for at least seven years.
“Its not my office, I have no office, I have no phone I have no computers, I have no people, I have no linkage and above all no money at all is paid to them,” he said.
“Its not my office. I only have one office in my constituency and that is next door to my house.”
Mr Gray said that he does all his constituency work through his Westminster office, which is advertised on his website, even through his wife is base in Wiltshire.
“She does a whole variety of things really. Mainly the diary, local press contacts, local work. And of course I work from there too,” he said.
Mr Gray initially denied putting the Constituency Association contact number on the Parliament website but later said his staff may have supplied it “years ago”.
Sir James gave his £2,000 donation to Chippenham Conservatives, his local association, in 2009.
His grandmother has made eight separate donations between 2001 and 2010. That included three to the North Wiltshire constituency party.
118. The fact that Cyril Smith’s public standing and professional career were never negatively impacted in any significant way by the suggestion that he was involved in child sexual abuse has given rise to considerable speculation that he was in some way protected by other politicians. We may consider the possibility that Smith was actively supported at the level of national politics, or at the very least, had a blind eye turned towards allegations against him, as part of the Westminster investigation.
Police chief heading up the probe into Edward Heath will send his findings to the child sex-abuse inquiry
19 Aug 2017
Wiltshire Police Chief Constable Mike Veale has spoken with the IICSA
Wiltshire Police rejected calls for Veale to resign over how he handled operation
Veale announced that the investigation was expected to end in the autumn
Tory MPs claim the £2m probe is ‘awaste of money’ based on ‘flimsy’ evidence
Wiltshire Police has rejected calls for Mr Veale to resign over his handling of Operation Conifer, which has investigated allegations against Sir Edward, who died in 2005.
Mr Veale – who has said privately that he believes the paedophile claims against Heath are ‘120 per cent’ genuine – shows no sign of backing down. A Wiltshire Police spokesman said last week talks on the outcome of the Heath inquiry had already been held with Professor Jay’s team.
He said: ‘We have briefed IICSA and we will make available to them our report such that they can consider it relative to the terms of reference of the public inquiry.’
The spokesman also hit back at calls for Mr Veale to resign saying he had a duty to investigate ‘allegations, regardless of whether the alleged offender is living or deceased’.
More than 30 people are understood to have made claims of sexual abuse by Sir Edward. The investigation was set up after the Jimmy Savile scandal.
Sir Richard Henriques is being lined up to report on Wiltshire Police’s controversial two year probe into the late former Prime Minister, who has been the subject of a number of paedophile allegations.
Mike Veale, the Chief Constable of Wiltshire Police, who has been under intense pressure to justify the investigation, has pledged to produce a report on his findings later this year.
But the Telegraph understands that Sir Richard will be brought in to review the investigation in the coming weeks in order to provide some independent scrutiny.
Mr Veale had wanted Alexis Jay, who is chairing the Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse, to review the case, but she refused.
A meeting between Angus Macpherson, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Wiltshire, Mr Veale and supporters of Sir Edward is due to take place in two weeks, after which Sir Richard is expected to be appointed.
One alleged victim, who can only be identified as Nick, was described by one officer as “credible and true”.
His complaints against Sir Edward are understood to form part of the Operation Conifer evidence.
There’s ever growing desperation in the Fail’s absolutely humdrum and trivial attempt to dig up something to stop Operation Conifer
They talk about a conflict of interest and in the next line print a comment from Edward Heath’s godson (as they do every time).

The Wheelyboat Trust was originally called the Handicapped Anglers Trust when it was formed in 1984 to promote and provide its newly developed Wheelyboat to fisheries to help them provide access for disabled anglers.
The Trust’s Founder, Alan Faulkner, conceived the idea of the Wheelyboat after his friend, Bill Buchanan, fell from a tree and broke his back. Alan was determined that in spite of Bill’s disability (the injury had left him a wheelchair user) they would continue to enjoy each other’s company while fishing.

Johnson Smith was one of a clutch of Oxford Union debaters who graduated to television as it took off as a popular medium in the early 1950s, reckoning it a stepping stone to Parliament; they included Robin Day (who was never elected), Jeremy Thorpe and the athlete Chris Chataway.

He was later a presenter of the BBC magazine programme Tonight in the late 1950s.
Sir Alec Douglas-Home quickly appointed him an Opposition whip, and when Edward Heath became leader that summer he made Johnson-Smith a party vice-chairman.
When Heath came to power in 1970 he kept Johnson-Smith at Central Office. Soon afterwards Iain Macleod died suddenly, the party Chairman Anthony Barber taking his place and Johnson-Smith becoming acting chairman. He was never in the running for the top job, despite his popularity among Conservative ladies, and in April 1971 he instead became Under-Secretary for Defence for the Army.
Johnson-Smith, who was later to launch a successful campaign on behalf of haemophiliacs who had been given infected blood, fought a long battle to curb the Church of Scientology. The Church had its headquarters near East Grinstead and in 1970 he endured a six-week libel case before a jury vindicated his stance.
When Margaret Thatcher took the leadership, she asked him to oversee media activities at Central Office alongside a fellow television professional, Gordon Reece
From 1980 to 1996 he chaired the select committee on Member’s Interests, having to field embarrassing questions about the business activities of Mrs Thatcher’s son Mark.
Johnson-Smith specialised increasingly in defence. From 1985 he chaired the military committee of the North Atlantic Assembly, and from 1987 to 1997 he led the British delegation. For six years he chaired the Conservative backbench defence committee.
He was knighted in 1982 and sworn of the Privy Council in 1996.
After the Bloody Sunday killings of January 1972, he mounted an uncompromising defence of the Parachute Regiment: “It is bad enough for our troops to have to run all the perils and be shot at by gunmen without having their pain increased by smears in this House.”
A party vice-chairman under Edward Heath, Johnson Smith was unfailingly loyal to the leader of the day. He served for more than 20 years on the 1922 Committee executive , keeping Margaret Thatcher, John Major and William Hague in touch with backbench feeling.
Day-to-day responsibility for information control was vaguely divided between Number 10 and the Cabinet Office team under Geoffrey Johnson-Smith

Pamela, Lady Onslow was an aristocratic divorcee who occupied part of her time with the ex-Borstal organisation “Teamwork Associates” in London. Littlejohn’s brother, Keith, had spent time in Borstal and was known to Lady Onslow through the organisation. Lady Onslow was made aware of information in Littlejohn’s possession and contacted her friend, Lord Carrington.
On 22 November 1971, a meeting was arranged at Onslow’s London flat between Littlejohn and British minister Geoffrey Johnson Smith.[3] It was at this time that the official Wanted status in respect of the Smethwick robbery was downgraded to Desired to Interview.[4]
On 18 September 1972, Edmund Woolsey, a 32 year old Catholic, was killed by booby trap attached to his car. Two of his friends were injured. The car had been stolen a week earlier. The police informed Woolsey that the car had been found abandoned [5] at Glasdrumman, near Crossmaglen, County Armagh. The bomb exploded as they went to retrieve their vehicle. While not a member of the Officials, Woolsey was known to the Littlejohns and socialised in similar circles. The Official IRA determined that Woolsey had been lured to his death by the army who had set up the booby trap based on information supplied by the Littlejohns.[5]

Lord Lichfield Focuses on Two Loves—wife Leonora and His Photography
As one of London’s resident rakes in the swinging ’60s, Patrick, the fifth Earl of Lichfield—and a cousin of Queen Elizabeth II—loved beautiful women, glittery nightlife and himself almost as much as he loved photography. He was linked to jet-set beauties such as Britt Ekland, Jane Seymour, Gayle Hunnicutt and Dewi Sukarno; his premarital manifesto concluded that “fidelity is not essential. I’m sure I shall never be completely faithful to one woman.”
Lichfield has always led a somewhat charmed existence. Born in London, he was evacuated during World War II to Scotland’s Glamis Castle just north of Dundee. (His maternal grandfather was the elder brother of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the 83-year-old Queen Mother.)
A few months back he made headlines when several models complained that he had asked them to strip for video auditions so that he could choose subjects for a nude calendar he was planning.
Lincoln Seligman- about the same age as Jonathan Denby, was also a shipping lawyer –
He was born in 1950 and studied law at Balliol College, Oxford. He became a shipping lawyer but on the birth of his son he decided to make a career in his first love, art. He is a sculptor who has created large-scale mobile atrium pieces in landmark buildings
After reading law at Oxford, Seligman trained as a barrister and then joined a shipping company in the City. His heart was never really in the legal profession, so he decided to pursue his real passion – art.

A newspaper photograph of Edward Heath on a beach with his godchild so touched the sensibilities of one woman that when she died nine years later, she left him a diamond ring to dispose of as he pleases. He can offer the little girl with whom he went hand in hand from the sea to the beach.
Savile took advantage of letters from schoolchildren to the Jim’ll Fix It programme to find victims, and allegations against him include 14 offences relating to schools around the country.
“Much as Savile could turn up to a hospital and expect a warm welcome, he went to a number of schools because children had written to him, a Jim’ll Fix It-type letter,” said Mr Gray. “His peak offending came with the peak of his success.”
Heath was godfather to Whitelaw’s grandchild. Isn’t it interesting that Whitelaw would want to quosh investigations?
Alison Baker: ‘I know of several witnesses who saw Whitelaw at occult ceremonies – yes, at one ritual in Docklands in particular.’
Baker was key witness in the (Derry Mainwaring) Knight trial. She claims on P 382 that W Whitelaw was ‘a very high ranking member indeed’ of a Satanic Cult.
Alison Baker, wife of Rev Baker, is Oxford-educated and a very bright and credible lady. Why would she lie?
A bishop told a court that satanists in Sussex acted out rituals at the Long Man of Wilmington, figure in chalk hillside nr Eastbourne.
Another witness said Knight ran a prostitution racket in London while he was obtaining more than £200,000 from committed Christians.
Real puzzle was always nonchalance with which aristocrats and wealthy country folk were prepared to hand over more than £200,000.
Mrs Sainsbury gave seven cheques totalling £79,785 to Mr Baker between 1984 and the end of February 1985.
Final payments of £28,000 and £20,000 went towards the purchase of a throne, which she had been told would cost about £200,000.
Marc Heal interviewed Derry Mainwaring Knight, who now lives in Eastbourne, for his book. Page 402 Afterword:
Cum grano salis: Mainwaring-Knight’s own view of things.
2 crew drowned: only 1 body was found. 2 additional unidentified bodies washed up in the same storm. 2 GodChildren died (both Chadd brothers).
Wonder why they didn’t release the age or gender of either of the the other two ‘partly decomposed bodies’.
Licenced ‘burials at sea’ would have had a specific/regulation coffin at the point of ‘burial’ – so that it sank to a deep trench at the bottom of the sea.
The 2 ‘partly decomposed’ bodies appear to have been ‘deposited’ in the sea post-mortem. If ‘death by drowning’ bodies float to the surface later.
Any idea who was Chief of Defence Staff at the time? And who occupied Secretary of State for Defence?

COD was Field Marshal Sir Michael Carver. Sec of State was Roy Mason. Mmmmm Ian Gilmour had a very short tenure as sec 8th Jan -4th March. He left just a few weeks before sinking. MP for Central NORFOLK.

And Chris Patten sold Hong Kong and covered up the full extent of the Jimmy Savile scandal ????
Studying at Cambridge he attended Moscow and its University defending the Open Market, as Chair of the University Explorers and Travellers Club, and representative of the Ballet Club
Trustee of Dimbola Museum, and the World Ship Trust, he chaired the ASTO Cowes Race meant for handicapped and young who have not sailed before, and holds events for Shakespeare, Omar Khayyam, Burns, Betjeman and Elgar. He started the Ventnor Piano Fund, and is Trustee of Island Concerts, and helped fund the Sea Scout’s RIB ‘Grom’ (named after the destroyer, sister to the Cowes-built ‘Blyskawica’, renowned for ‘saving’ Cowes from enemy bombing in the war).
Curious Heath had quite so many God Children, he found them boring with nothing to say. Lincoln Seligman (Heath God child) said this….
I’m sure another of Heath’s God children would have spoken out but he is dead (body not found contrary to news reports at the time) and so is his brother, killed by hit and run in France, driver never found.

Just one month after Heath’s office thought to offer a ‘Vote Of Royal Thanks’ to Savile for ‘his personal services’ Heath was at it again. This time the beneficiary was Christopher Chadd’s dad:
Despite achieving great success, Mrs Chadd’s family life has been fraught with moments of tragedy.
In 1950, she married her husband Colonel George Chadd – former prime minister Ted Heath was best man at their wedding.
Together, they looked after Chadds of Lowestoft, she lost two of her sons within two years.
Christopher drowned when Morning Cloud, Ted Heath’s boat, capsized in a storm sailing back to Cowes and Timothy was killed in a hit and run car accident in 1976 during a holiday in France.
During the second world war, she joined the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead where she helped rehabilitate pilots with serious burns.
She later became the County Almoner for East Sussex where she cared for terminally ill people. During her work in Southern England, she was approached by RAF pilot Group Captain Leonard Cheshire to see whether he could take on some of her patients for a new care home he was setting up in a country house.
The move was blocked, but he went on to found 150 Cheshire homes across the world.
Meanwhile, in 1947 she first encountered fellow almoner Cicely Saunders. The pair were both struck by how hospitals cared for dying people. Their discussions would eventually culminate in the opening of the St Christopher’s Hospice in Sydenham, where Mrs Chadd spent some time working as the centre’s almoner. Following the death of her sons, she set up an organisation for grieving parents called Compassionate Friends and trained in London as bereavement councillor for Cruse Bereavement Care.
She spent 24 years as an organiser at the Waveney branch of Cruse, and the same amount of time working as a Lowestoft magistrate. In 1990, she was made an MBE for services to the Red Cross.
Margaret trained as a Hospital Lady Almoner – a welfare post now replaced by social workers with little if any medical training. During the second world war she worked at the now legendary Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead under pioneering plastic surgeon Archibald McIndoe.
Colonel Chadd – a former deputy lieutenant for Suffolk – died in 1997 and his widow moved to a flat in Southwold six years later.
Meeting Colonel George Chadd in Southwold, she married him in 1950. Ted Heath, a war-time friend of the groom, was their best man and later godfather to Christopher, the eldest of their four sons.
They lived just outside Lowestoft, where Colonel Chadd ran the family retailing business. Alas, he had had to sell Southwold’s Grand Hotel in order to buy their marital home, and, to their dismay, the war-damaged seafront building was later demolished.
In the summer of 1974, Christopher Chadd was helping to take the lately-ousted Prime Minister’s yacht, Morning Cloud, back to Cowes when the boat capsized in a storm and he drowned. Exactly two years later his student brother Timothy was killed by a hit and run driver when on holiday in France.
organiser for the Waveney branch of Cruse and a very caring Lowestoft magistrate – each for 24 years. In this period the Chadds moved to an ancient house in Wangford, where they created a garden in memory of their two sons.
Colonel George Chadd OBE, TD, DL, JP – a former deputy lieutenant for Suffolk – died in 1997 and his widow moved to a flat in Southwold six years later.
McIndoe and Mullins had a close working relationship. Margaret Chadd who worked at the hospital at the time remembers, “She could anticipate every move that her boss would make in the theatre, so close was their teamwork – words were not needed – it was amazing to watch.”
George Chadd served in the army during the Second World War and afterwards had the responsibility for holding John Amery and Mrs Mussolini and her children at his internment camp. He later became Deputy Lieutenant for the County of Suffolk, often having to represent Queen Elizabeth II, as well as serving time as the High Steward of Southwold.
After the war Margaret became County Almoner for East Sussex and dealt with patients who were suffering from life threatening illnesses. More recently, over the past twenty years, she has been involved with the BRCS as a Welfare Officer and became Vice President, initiating Cruse Bereavement Care in Suffolk and is now endeavouring to establish a much needed hospice for the most easterly part of England, where she lives.
Tragically Margaret’s eldest son Christopher was drowned when the yacht ‘Morning Cloud’ broke up in a freak wave while sailing from Burnham to Cowes on 2nd September 1974 at the age of 23. The yacht belonged to Christopher’s godfather and former Prime Minister Edward Heath, who was also the best man at the wedding of Margaret Collett and George Chadd in 1950. A further tragedy struck the family just two years later when, on 7th September 1976, Margaret’s son Timothy was killed when he was hit by a car while crossing a road in Caen in France. He was only 20 years old.
Nancy-Joan Seligman, who has died aged 94, was a god-daughter of Rudyard Kipling and, as the wife of Sir Edward Heath’s closest friend, Madron Seligman, was one of the few people able to tease the former Prime Minister with impunity.
Nancy-Joan Seligman and her husband Madron Seligman with Sir Edward Heath
21 Sep 2012
She was born Nancy-Joan Marks in Battersea during a Zeppelin raid on January 29 1918, the eldest child of Julian Marks, one of the founders of the Financial Times, and Nancy Pleasance-Hollingsworth, a spirited American from Philadelphia. Nancy-Joan was also the great-niece of Emma Lazarus, whose famous sonnet The New Colossus (“Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame/ With conquering limbs astride from land to land…”) is inscribed on the Statue of Liberty.
Nancy-Joan spent her early years in London as well as at Burwash, Sussex, next to Bateman’s, the home of her godfather Rudyard Kipling. Her Christian name was a combination of her mother’s name, Nancy, with Joan — a tribute to Kipling’s only son, John, killed in the First World War. She had vivid memories of Bateman’s, recalling how Kipling would allow her to play in his study, tell her stories and take her and her siblings for rides in his small rowing boat on the lake.
Nancy-Joan was a reluctant debutante in the 1930s, managing to drop the train of her dress into the lavatory before joining the queue of debs to be presented to Queen Mary. She joined the WRNS on the outbreak of war, driving ambulances and working, also as a driver, at Bletchley Park. She lived in Chelsea and, staying true to the circumstances of her birth, she and her father terrified the rest of their family by refusing to go to the air raid shelter during bombing raids.
Nancy-Joan met her husband, Madron Seligman, in 1935. They were both 17, but did not marry until 1947.
Madron Seligman spent most of his career in industry, and in 1979 he beat Boris Johnson’s father Stanley to be selected as the Conservative candidate for West Sussex in the first European Parliamentary elections.
Seligman went on to win the seat by a margin of 95,484 votes, earning a place in The Guinness Book of Records. He held the seat until he retired in 1994, and Stanley Johnson went on to become a good friend to the Seligmans.
Nancy-Joan was a constant presence at Seligman’s side in Sussex, Strasbourg and Brussels. Having spent time at school in France, she spoke immaculate French and was an invaluable social and administrative support. They were at the centre of a group of committed pro-Europeans who remained their friends for life.
Madron Seligman was the oldest friend of the former Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath, whom he had met at Balliol College, Oxford, in 1937. Heath played the organ at the Seligmans’ wedding, including a short piece, composed by the groom, to herald the entrance of the bride. Given the signal, Heath duly pulled out all the stops and began to play — only to find that the bride had been waylaid by photographers in the church porch. After performing the piece 13 times, he vowed never to play at another wedding.
Heath became godfather to Nancy-Joan’s eldest son, Lincoln, and was known to the family as “Uncle Teddy”. He frequently went on holiday with them and took part in family occasions.
It was with the Seligmans at Villefranche that Heath went to stay immediately after his election as leader of the Conservative Party; and Seligman was with him in Bexley in 1970 when Heath secured a general election victory that many doubted he could win.
At the time of Heath’s premiership, Madron Seligman had no political aspirations, and he and Nancy-Joan were in a unique position to offer honest and objective friendship to the rather isolated leader. Seligman Christmases were spent at Chequers, where Nancy-Joan played Mother Christmas, always providing the Prime Minister with a Christmas stocking. One Christmas, she berated him for his greed when, having opened his stocking before breakfast, he mistook the small globes of bubble bath for sweets, and ate them, later appearing with traces of foam around his mouth.
Because of her family’s close friendship with the famously touchy Tory leader, she was allowed to tease him and, as a woman of considerable frankness, was able to tell him when she felt he needed to pull his socks up.
Her husband predeceased her in 2002. She is survived by their three sons and one daughter

Police have LOST woman’s Ted Heath statement about a missing boy
14 NOV 2015
Detectives have been in contact with author Linda Corby – more than four decades after her first complaint – to take the details down again
Lost: Woman made a statement about a child disappearing from Ted Heath’s yacht. The woman had made a report to police, which she has been told has been lost
A woman who warned Jersey Police about a child vanishing from Ted Heath’s yacht has been told by officers they cannot find her original statement.
Detectives have been in contact with author Linda Corby – more than four decades after her first complaint – to take the details down again.
They also revealed her “enquiry” had now been handed over to Wiltshire Police , who are taking the lead in the investigation into the former Prime Minister.
She was told the police inquiry into Ted Heath had been given the code name; ‘Operation Conifer’, by the English force.
Earlier this year author, Linda Corby, told the Daily Mirror how she and another local politician, who has since died, made two statements to police in the 1970s.
Linda and the Jersey senator were just outside the yacht club in the 1970s as they watched 11 boys aged six to 11 from Jersey’s notorious Haut de la Garenne children’s home board the former PM’s yacht in the island’s capital St Helier.
When the yacht returned, they counted them back and one boy was missing.
The local politician asked Linda to back him up about what they had both witnessed and so they visited Jersey police HQ together to make their statements.
But nothing happened and she claims they were later told how police officers had been ordered not to investigate their concerns.
After her story appeared in the Daily Mirror she contacted Jersey police asking to see her statement but said she was told it could not be found.
Linda explained: “They phoned to tell me they couldn’t find my statement.I was not surprised at all – so much has gone missing over the years.
Linda later received an email saying her enquiry had been handed over.
“I couldn’t believe it when they told me the Wiltshire inquiry was called ‘Operation Conifer’ – how appropriate!” she said.
“ It’s named after the fastest growing tree ever and there are branches going missing all the time. It also shows the paperwork is going to be astronomical.”
The email Linda received last month from Jersey Police stated: “As I said on the phone to you Wiltshire Police are taking the lead on the Ted Heath enquiries and last month we delivered them the paperwork relating to your enquiry.
Previously describing what she saw in the early 1970s, Linda, 62, said: “I was with Jersey senator Ralph Vibert who has since died.
“He said he had been warned about children going on Heath’s yacht, Morning Cloud, and some not coming back.
“We watched as a group of boys from the home got on. They were in shorts and T-shirts and looked as if they were on a day trip.”
Author Linda claimed she later went with the senator to Bouley Bay to watch the yacht return.
She said: “We counted them back but one boy was missing.
This week Linda added: “I don’t know if there was anything in it or not but the fact is it should have been investigated. It is disgusting.”
The mum, from Jersey, insists a few days after they made their statements, officers told them “someone above” had told the officers not to investigate.
She said back then the police were controlled by the defence committee so they assumed it was them who told officers to leave it alone.
In 2008 a massive probe at Haut de la Garenne revealed many cases of child abuse against past residents.
Reports that human remains and evidence of torture had been found were later denied.
The ‘Independent Jersey Care Inquiry’ is investigating the abuse of children in it’s care system over many years.
Jersey Police confirmed they had contacted Linda and the information had now
been handed over to Wiltshire Police.
They could not confirm whether or not the statements had been found, as the officer was on annual leave but they pointed out their system had been computerised since the 70s.
Don Hale, a regional and national newspaper reporter who was made an OBE in 2001 for his investigative journalism, claims he was handed a document by former Labour Peer Barbara Castle in the 1980s naming a number of high-profile UK political figures as paedophiles.
But he alleges that after making initial inquiries, a team of Special Branch officers visited his home and seized the material – and warned him that reporting on the dossier could land him in jail.
Mr Hale says that in the document was a cutting from a magazine aimed at teenagers in which Sir Edward advertised ‘adventure trips with Uncle Ted’ around Jersey on board his yacht.
Seven police forces, including Jersey’s States police, are currently investigating claims of historical abuse against the former Conservative PM, who died in 2005 aged 89.
It emerged yesterday that Gloucestershire and Thames Valley were the latest forces to be looking into allegations.
Mr Hale – best known for his successful campaign to overturn the conviction of Stephen Downing, who spent 27 years in prison after wrongly being convicted of murder – said that the dossier was extensive.
The 63-year-old, who developed strong contacts with Baroness Castle, who died in 2002, when he was editor of the Bury Messenger and she was an MP for Blackburn, said: ‘We used to meet up every Friday.
‘She started talking to me about this paedophile ring and she gave me a document listing some names.
‘She kept bringing me more and more names on a list of alleged paedophiles.
‘Then one day she showed me a picture of Ted Heath.
‘She threw it down on my desk and said, do you know who this is? I said, of course I do. And she told me he was part of this paedophile ring.
‘He was just one name and he seemed to only play a small part.’
Mr Hale added: ‘One day Baroness Castle showed me a cutting about an adventure trip for boys in Jersey.
‘It was a quarter of a page, and I think it was in a Scouting magazine or a magazine aimed at boys.
‘She drew a red ring around the feature. It said something like, ”Join Uncle Ted on a trip of a lifetime”.
‘She said it was disgusting. On its own it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. But with the other stuff she had showed me about Ted Heath, the inference was that he was using it to abuse boys.
‘She said the children were from care homes.’
Mr Hale, who also successfully campaigned for the release of Barry George – a serial criminal wrongly jailed for the murder of TV presenter Jill Dando – said that as the trips would have happened many years after
think he is playing to the crowd. The ‘pay to keep him quiet crowd’
His colleagues have paid for his recent high-profile media appearances and have appointed him a top legal team.
Why would they if he were merely someone who ‘spanked’ a few lads in the seventies?
It’s because they know full -well that Proctor is a loose-cannon who knows their dirty secrets and would have no hesitation in revealing them.
The powers-that-be are pulling out all the stops in a desperate effort to keep a lid on Britain’s child-raping secrets and will use any dirty tactics available.
So why did it’s director Watts not resign his directorship of Exaro Holdings when he was sacked as ’employee’?
As a sacked ’employee’ and STILL a director he had a clear conflict of interest. A conflict of interest that is part of the legal framework around directors’ responsibilities. It does not make sense that a sacked employee can remain a director.
ACTIVE director Mark Watts. Company in liquidation. Sacked as employee. Still a director.
Last month, Pendry announced that he would rejoin the Labour Party, saying his decision ‘was helped by the estimable old Labour Right-winger Tom Watson being elected as ballast, as deputy leader’.
The MP first began publicly campaigning about an ‘Establishment’ paedophile ring in 2012. At about the same time, Exaro began focusing heavily on stories about the same purported ring.
Ever since, Watson has made regular appearances in Exaro’s news reports. As a senior MP, his comments lend credibility to their reports. In turn, they help to promote Watson’s campaign.
Little wonder, perhaps, that in the past 18 months Watson has almost continually flagged Exaro stories on Twitter. His support is doubtless very helpful. In November, for example, Watson tweeted: ‘I’ve spent all week telling reporters to phone Exaro if they want to know what’s going on.’
This relationship does not please everyone, however. Peter McKelvie, a former child protection officer who once worked closely with the Labour MP, has severed ties because he regards Exaro as ‘a disgrace to journalism’.
McKelvie is also said to believe that Watson fails to adopt a sufficiently collegiate attitude to his campaign, an opinion shared by one MP who has previously collaborated with him on child protection issues.‘There have also been other times Tom has not pulled his weight, and I’m not just talking about the Janner letter,’ says the MP.
‘There was, for example, a debate in Parliament on historical child sex abuse last November. Everyone interested in the issue attended, apart from Tom. Perhaps he didn’t want to share the limelight.’

Tom Watson’s deputy leadership campaign was bankrolled by multi-millionaire former Monaco-based tax exile Max Mosley. Guido can reveal Mosley wrote Watson a cheque for £12,500 in August, also providing him with £27,554 worth of printing, a total of a cool £40,000. Mosley spent years avoiding tax in Monaco, returning to the UK in 2010 when he complained “I now have to pay tax here“. Don’t tell Jeremy Corbyn…
Watson’s campaign placed press regulation as his number one issue, putting Leveson front and centre of his website ahead of any other issue.
What was it about their shared Murdoch-phobia that convinced the German-themed spanking party enthusiast (Mosley) to open his chequebook?

^1987 Dr Michael Salmon paedophile paediatrician with Princess Diana
1990 Dr Michael Salmon was first jailed and convicted of abusing children
2001 The Aurelian Legacy by Dr Michael Salmon
Convicted paedophile paediatrician Dr Michael Salmon wrote a book on butterflies which has an introduction by Prince Charles’ gardening partner, Miriam Rothschild.
She was the sister of Nathaniel Mayer Victor Rothschild, 3rd Baron Rothschild, who was a good friend of Edward Heath, Blunt, Burgess, worked for MI5 during World War II and alleged to have been the ‘fifth Spy’.
She decoded German wireless messages for the Enigma decryption project at top-secret Bletchley Park
Dr Michael Salmon, far right
Dr Salmon worked at Stoke Mandeville Hospital with Jimmy Savile at the same time the paedophile Jim’ll Fix It star was attacking children there and Savile was visiting Prince Charles at Highgrove.
Dr Salmon’s son appeared on Savile’s Jim’ll Fix It show.
Did Dr Michael Salmon ever visit Highgrove? He worked at Stoke Mandeville where Jimmy Savile had an office and residence and Dr Salmon was a charity colleague of Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson
Dr Salmon was part of the Dreamflight charity – promoted by people like Sarah Ferguson (friend of convicted billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein), Jimmy Tarbuck and Cliff Richard.
He was asked to join the inaugural Dreamflight charity trip, co-founded by former British Airways cabin crew member Patricia Pearce in 1987, as chief medical officer.
There was a picture from Jim’ll Fix It hanging on Salmon’s consulting room wall. The black and white photograph, shown to the jury, showed a young boy holding a microphone from when Salmon’s eldest son Martin had appeared on the popular television show alongside Irish horse racing commentator and friend of the royal family, Peter O’Sullivan.
Both Sir Alfred Beit and Lady Beit, who was a cousin of the famous Mitford sisters, were at the heart of the British business, political and social establishment from the Thirties until their death.
Revealed: the secret Sir Alfred Beit diaries that may tell of British royal family scandals
Diaries believed to contain the inside story of British royal family scandals have been suppressed by the late Lady Clementine Beit to protect Queen Elizabeth II from embarrassment.
Do the diaries contain details of the royal family’s oft-cited links with the Nazi party in Germany before the war? Or is it something more personal, some sexual secrets of the royal family that Sir Alfred and Lady Beit want to keep hidden? Because of the “secret” clause in her will, we can now only guess.
As depicted in The Crown, Mounbatten is uncommonly close with Charles, taking him shopping for the Eton uniforms he never gets to wear, and urging him to open up emotionally.
Lord Mountbatten, known affectionately around the palace as the biggest queen in the royal family, had surrounded Charles with homosexuals during the period when he had been entrusted by Queen Elizabeth with her eldest son’s social upbringing.
Meanwhile, in New Zealand, there have been such newspaper headlines as, “‘Uncle Dickie’ the Sex Pervert” (N.Z. Truth, Sept. 8, 1987), since Mountbatten’s former chauffeur, Norman Nield, started revealing details of the late Lord Mountbatten’s alleged sexual exploitation of boys.
Paedophile Lord Louis Mountbatten
Edward Prince of Wales and his cousin Lord Louis Mountbatten “relax” in a canvas swimming pool on board H. M. S. Renown during their 1920 Empire Tour.
Lord Louis was a great grandson of Queen Victoria and the uncle of Prince Philip (consort of Queen Elizabeth II). Mountbatten was also a promiscuous bisexual who was famously rumored to have had an affair with Edward VIII (who was Prince of Wales at the time) when he accompanied him on his Empire tours (see photo above).
The Queen. Like any human being, she is subject to the influence of those around her. While he lived, Lord Mountbatten was a persuasive counsellor, and he formulated the plan for Prince Charles’s unusually rigorous education.
For some years allegations had circulated that the late Tory prime minister Edward Heath had been involved with the notorious Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE). Yesterday the IPCC (Independent Police Complaints Commission) announced that it would be investigating a possible cover-up by Wiltshire Police re complaints made against the former prime minster of sexual abuse. Today it was reported that a man alleged he was raped by Mr Heath when he was 12 years old. It is known as fact that Heath visited the Kincora Boys Home in Northern Ireland, the subject of ongoing investigation into child sex abuse (involving MI5, Ulster Unionist paramilitaries, etc). There was also the scandal involving a boys home on the Channel Islands – again a home that Heath regularly visited, together with Jimmy Savile, the entertainer who has been recognised as a serial paedophile offender. Now it has emerged that four separate police forces are investigating the allegations made against Heath: in addition to Wiltshire Constabulary, Kent Police (Operation Hydrant), Jersey Police (Operation Whistle) and the Metropolitan Police (Operation Midland) have each announced investigations.
Meanwhile, UndercoverInfo can confirm the name and serial number of the file regarding Mr Heath and his interest/queries re PIE and which was included in the infamous 114 ‘missing files’, believed to have been part of a dossier originally handed to the Home Office by Geoffrey Dickens and subsequently ‘lost’ by the Sir Leon Brittan, the former Home Secretary (and alleged paedophile).
Update: Hampshire Constabulary has announced it has opened a fifth line of inquiry (no further details at this stage).
A. The Heath file
The file that names Heath and his interest/queries re PIE is codenamed CRI 85 0472/0007/001 (see image below). There is no indication what the file on PIE covers; whether it is about questions, or whether it has evidence, or why it is associated with Mr Heath.
This file was eventually passed to the Government’s records office on 5 March 1990 and included in the ‘114 files’ that were either destroyed or went missing as part of what appears, in retrospect, to have been a concerted cover-up.
B. The cover-up
The ‘Westminster paedophile ring’ was first looked into as a result of a dossier presented by the late Labour cabinet minster (later, Social Democrat MEP), Baroness Barbara Castle. Ms. Castle said she had been given copies of classified documents from the Home Office, proving that there was a secret investigation underway into child sex abusers in Parliament. Castle apparently claimed that Heath was one of those implicated.
After Ms. Castle had collated the dossier, she handed it to Don Hale, the respected editor of her local newspaper, the Bury Messenger. Mr Hale later claimed that a “heavy mob” of Special Branch officers raided his office and confiscated the dossier a day after paedophile Liberal MP Cyril Smith had visited him to demand he bury the story. Labour MP Geoffrey Dickens then presented the Castle dossier (see ‘Appendix E’) to Sir Leon Brittan.
Some years later Leon Brittan claimed to have lost over 114 files that were alleged to have been about child sex abuse at Dolphin Square and Elm Guest House and PIE. (Brittan was named as an attendee at Elm Guest House by its late owner – Brittan’s Elm Guest House nickname was ‘Roger’.) These missing files were ‘disappeared’ or destroyed but may have been included in a larger list that were identified in a Government internal file that shows over 2000 files as being recorded ‘disappeared’ or missing.
However, a 23 page archived Government document includes details of all the 114 ‘missing’ files and lists the many MPs who raised questions about child sex abuse scandals.
Note: Scotland Yard is also reported to have handed to Leon Brittan a dossier naming 15 members of a notorious paedophile group. This file is still unaccounted for (it is not the same file given to Brittan by Geoffrey Dickens) – see here. It’s possible that this file is the same one labelled “Edward Heath… Re. PIE”.
C. IPCC
Yesterday the IPCC issued a statement re Mr Heath. It said:
“This is an investigation into allegations that Wiltshire Police did not pursue a criminal prosecution when a person threatened to expose that Sir Edward Heath may have been involved in offences concerning children. In addition to this allegation, the IPCC will examine whether Wiltshire Police subsequently took any steps to investigate these claims. The allegations were referred to the IPCC by Wiltshire Police following allegations made by a retired senior officer.”
Superintendent Sean Memory of Wiltshire Police, who is leading the investigation for the force, later added: “The allegation is that a trial was due to take place in the 1990’s and information was received in that trial that Sir Ted Heath was involved in the abuse of children, and the allegation is from the result of that information that the trial never took place. A retired senior police officer has come forward towards the end of 2014 indicating that they were aware of this information. So between then and March this year, we have worked tirelessly to establish the facts of that allegation to a point where in March this year, we have made a mandatory referral to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, which is leading the investigation into whether we did in fact mishandle that case in the 1990’s.”
D. Allegations
1. Jersey
Jersey Police has also said that it was investigating Mr Heath. In a statement it said: “Sir Edward Heath does feature as part of ‘Operation Whistle’, currently investigating historical allegations of abuse in Jersey.” This follows the Jersey care inquiry, which had been looking into allegations of abuse in the island’s care homes, including the Haut de la Garenne children’s home.
Sir Edward Heath visited Haute de la Garenne many times and reportedly would take young boys sometimes supplied by Jimmy Savile (another regular visitor to the home) for trips with him on his yacht, ‘Morning Cloud’.
From September 2007, Jersey police took 1,776 statements from 192 alleged victims, identifying 151 alleged abusers relating to the home, though only seven people have been successfully prosecuted.
The police investigation also examined allegations that children were murdered. In the course of the investigation a total of 65 teeth and around 100 charred fragments of bones were discovered. Most of the dental remains discovered have been identified as children’s milk teeth. Among more than 100 bone fragments found is a tibia from a child’s leg and what police believe is an “intact” adenoid bone from the ear of an infant. These were all retrieved from a fingertip search of the four cellars in the Home’s east wing. Shackles were also found in what was believed to have been a torture chamber.
2. Kent
Kent Police said that it had also received, today, an allegation of sexual assault by Heath in the 1960’s.
3. Westminster
According to Exaro, a sexually abused survivor, ‘Nick’, alleged that one of the perpetrators of abuse of which he was victim was the late Sir Edward Heath.
Heath was also a visitor to the notorious Kincora boys’ home in Northern Ireland, where child sex abuse was rife and was allegedly used as a blackmail tool by MI5.
So is Daily Mail’s “120%” an attempt to create an Exaroesque “credible & true” stick with which to beat investigation with later?
Mike VealeVerified account @wiltspoliceCC
Please find at http://www.wiltshire.police.uk a statement from me following stories in the media today re the investigation into Sir Edward Heath
Sir Edward Heath WAS a paedophile, says police chief: Astonishing claim is made that the former PM is guilty of vile crimes ‘covered up by the Establishment’
More than 30 people have come forward with claims about the former PM
And they are said to have given ‘strikingly similar’ accounts to Wiltshire Police
The county’s chief constable has said that the allegations are ‘totally convincing’
Pictures have emerged of Heath driving – despite it being claimed he didn’t have a car
19 February 2017
The police chief investigating claims that Sir Edward Heath was a paedophile is convinced the allegations are ‘120 per cent’ genuine, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
More than 30 people have come forward with claims of sexual abuse by the former Conservative Prime Minister, according to well-placed sources.
And they are said to have given ‘strikingly similar’ accounts of incidents to Wiltshire Police – even though the individuals are not known to each other.
The Mail on Sunday has been told that Wiltshire Chief Constable Mike Veale regards the allegations as ‘totally convincing’, and plans to publish a report in June.
Detectives have established that, contrary to claims that Sir Edward could not have committed the crimes as he ‘never drove a car’ and ‘always’ had a police driver with him, he did drive – and did have a car.
They have photographic evidence that shows he is a driver, and have established that he had a driving licence. He also bought a Rover 2000 after being deposed as Tory leader by Margaret Thatcher in 1975, when he was 58.
Astonishingly, Mr Veale is also understood to support claims that Sir Edward’s alleged crimes were reported to police years ago but covered up by the Establishment.
Some of those who said Sir Edward abused them are believed to have told police they went on to commit sexual abuse crimes themselves as a result.
The investigation into Sir Edward, called Operation Conifer, was set up in 2015 in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
Mr Veale came under pressure to abandon the inquiry last year after separate claims of a paedophile ring at Westminster involving former Home Secretary, the late Lord Brittan, and former Defence chief, Lord Bramall, were found to be groundless.
Allegations that Sir Edward was involved in satanic orgies have been dismissed as fantasy by an expert asked to review the case.
However, The Mail on Sunday has been told that Mr Veale believes the paedophile allegations are genuine. A source said: ‘Mr Veale believes in them 120 per cent and thinks they are totally convincing.
‘There are very close similarities in the accounts given by those who have come forward. The same names used for him, the same places and same type of incidents keep coming up.
‘What stands out is that the people giving these accounts are not connected but the stories and the details dovetail.
‘It contains disturbing stuff. Investigators have been shocked by what they have learned.’
Another source said: ‘The police were initially sceptical about the allegations, but now believe them. And they have come round to the view that they were covered up in the past because of who Heath was.
‘They will not be deflected by the rich and powerful trying to do the same now. Mike Veale is doing a great job and should be congratulated for his courage.’
The disclosures come after several senior politicians dismissed the allegations against Heath as absurd and unfounded. Former Tory Foreign Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind complained Heath’s reputation was being ‘besmirched’. Heath’s sexuality has been the source of much speculation over the years. Some believed he was gay, others said he was ‘asexual.’ At one point, he was being investigated by no fewer than five police forces – the Met, Wiltshire, Hampshire, Kent and Jersey.
Labour MP Tom Watson also said he had received allegations about Sir Edward. However the claims Mr Veale is investigating, which date from the 1960s to 1990s, are not linked to the discredited evidence of the man known as ‘Nick’, who alleged a high-level paedophile ring.
One of the key counter-claims made when the allegations first surfaced came from former Cabinet Secretary Lord Armstrong, who worked with Heath when he was Prime Minister. He said Heath ‘never drove a car’ and always had at least one policeman with him from 1970 until his death in 2005.
1950 to 1970 Ted Heath owned 4 cars. He clearly drove before he met Robert Armstrong. So why say he NEVER drove?
The fact that Sir Edward could drive was confirmed last night by a friend, who said the former Prime Minister bought a car in 1975, although Sir Edward was later given a chauffeur-driven car and police guard after IRA death threats.
Asked if Mr Veale believed the allegations against Sir Edward were ‘totally convincing’, a police spokesman said the Chief Constable was determined to ‘ensure the investigation is proportionate, measured and legal’ and that the job of the police was to ‘impartially investigate allegations without fear or favour and go where the evidence takes us. It is not the role of the police to judge the guilt or innocence of people in our criminal justice system.’
Further asked if Mr Veale had ‘120 per cent’ faith in the allegations, the spokesman declined to comment.
DO THESE PHOTOS UNDERMINE EX PM’S DEFENCE
Sir Edward Heath seen with his car in Weymouth, despite claims he never drove
These are the photographs that appear to disprove the notion that the allegations against Sir Edward cannot be true because he ‘never drove a car’ and was always accompanied by police.
Both were taken in October 1975. In the main picture on the right, Heath is standing by the driver’s door of the Rover 2000 he bought after Margaret Thatcher ousted him as Tory leader in February that year. In the picture on the left, he is seen arriving at the Tory Party conference in Blackpool – in the driver’s seat.
The Mail on Sunday has learned that Wiltshire Police has also obtained photographic evidence of him driving.
The issue was first raised by former Cabinet Secretary Lord Armstrong, who worked with Sir Edward in No 10. Lord Armstrong said Sir Edward – whom he described as ‘asexual’ – had a 24-hour police guard and driver from the day he became PM in 1970 to his death in 2005, and did not have his own car.
‘When he was at home he had two policemen on the gate, he had the personal protection officer from Scotland Yard in the house, he never drove a car himself, he always had an official driver,’ said Lord Armstrong. ‘It seems highly unlikely he could have escaped all that to do the kind of thing that is described.’
Sir Edward Heath again pictured driving, this time leaving leaves the conference for the sea breezes of Weymouth
Sir Edward bought the Rover after losing the chauffeur-driven car he was entitled to as Prime Minister, then Opposition leader.
A confidant of the former PM said: ‘He definitely could and did drive, though was a notoriously bad one. When he went to music concerts in Salzburg and hired a car, he was meant to drive it because his British police guards weren’t officially allowed to.
‘But they insisted as they were frightened he was going to crash.’
Mandarin who can’t help being economical with truth: Lord Armstrong at centre of accusations of child abuse cover-up
Senior civil servant in Thatcher government accused of ‘shocking’ attitude
Ex-Cabinet Secretary Lord Armstrong defended apparent abuse cover-up
Was warned by security services in 1986 that MP had ‘a penchant for boys’
Said he believed decision not to investigate claims was ‘correct at the tim
It has been revealed that he was urged by MI5 to help hush-up abuse allegations against a senior MP so as to avoid political embarrassment for the Thatcher government.
A document from November 1986 shows that Sir Antony Duff, then director-general of MI5, wrote to Armstrong about inquiries into one MP said to have ‘a penchant for small boys’.
Even today, despite years of official investigations into the claims and a top-level review into the loss of hundreds of Home Office files relating to the original allegations, Armstrong defiantly refuses to identify the suspect politician or even say if he is alive or dead. Can he really still believe that it is acceptable to be ‘economical with the truth’?
His attitude reflects an arrogant mindset that has for too long prevailed in Westminster and Whitehall.
The newly-unearthed files expose how protection of the Establishment took priority over the need to prosecute anyone suspected of paedophilia and over the safety of vulnerable young children.
In a letter to Armstrong about the suspected MP, Sir Antony warned that secrecy must prevail. ‘At the present stage…the risks of political embarrassment to the Government is rather greater than the security danger,’ he wrote.
In other words, if the rumours of a sex-ring were true and children had been abused, the welfare of the child must be subjugated to the national interest.
At the time, in 1986, there was little public discussion about the rumours. Whistleblowers were silenced, files mysteriously vanished and evidence which might have nailed the culprits was ignored.
New BBC paedophile scandal as ‘hero’ ex-chauffeur is unmasked as convicted child rapist
17 JUL 2016
Niven James Sinclair was so influential he sat in on BBC meetings – but Dame Janet Smith’s abuse probe in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal failed to identify him
A pervert with three child sex convictions worked as a BBC chauffeur for almost 30 years.
Niven James Sinclair drove VIPs including former Prime Minister Ted Heath and was employed to run BBC transport as a third party contractor. His firm supplied up to 150 cars.
He was so influential he sat in on BBC meetings and was involved with shows including Newsnight and Panorama.
And astonishingly, Dame Janet Smith’s probe into paedophiles at the BBC in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal failed to identify him.
Sinclair only stopped working for the broadcaster in 2005, aged 82, when his firm was still supplying 92 vehicles.
A glowing 2005 profile on the BBC website, still online tonight, was headlined: “A driving
Niven Sinclair, serial child abuser, appears to have died recently.
I first heard that it had been announced on the Clan Sinclair chatline that Niven Sinclair has died. [See comments on my post Niven Sinclair – Three times convicted Child Rapist worked for the BBC for 30 years[1] ]
I have also been sent a link to a Priory of Sion webpage, which has an obituary of sorts, and headed by this notice [2]
None of this of course officially confirms his death, but it appears probable.
@mwalkerdine has sent the following information and advice.
“NIVEN JAMES SINCLAIR AGED 93 of 58 PETWORTH ROAD, HASLEMERE GU27 3AU
If and when someone person dies you normally get buried within weeks unless inquest is done. If inquest is not done then a death certificate would be issued to the family or friends within days after buried etc.
For official confirmation it depends where he died. I contacted Surrey BirthsMarriagesDeaths. So far they don’t have a system in place that tells them who is dead. General Register Office has told me that their database has a 6 months gap from when councils provide the details of people getting born, married or died to be entered on their database.”
So if anyone finds official confirmation or any information, please put in comments below. This can be done anonymously if you wish.
Since I wrote the original Niven Sinclair post [1] almost exactly a year ago, I have been informed by multiple sources that Niven abused young boys whilst working for the BBC, including Panorama. This was obviously suspected, as he was a 3 times convicted multiple child rapist before joining the BBC, but has now been confirmed.
Niven Sinclair was also investigated by Operation Yewtree, which had I not previously realised.
As this is the case, it is almost inconceivable that the BBC did not know that fact. That raises even more questions about the BBC’s conduct – not only about when the abuse was being committed but also recently when they have been less than open about child sexual abuse at the BBC.
I also feel that they were less honest than they should have been in their answers to my Freedom of Information request [3].
For example “We are not aware of any complaint having been made to the BBC about him.”
Maybe but the BBC were surely aware of Operation Yewtree investigating Niven Sinclair, and therefore of abusing whilst working for the BBC. So this BBC comment appears designed to obfuscate and mislead.
Bizarrely, unprecedented in my experience of making FOI requests, the reply also included a statement of BBC spin that they wanted me to put into any story I wrote, – and this in a reply to a FOI request!
Just so that people can judge for themselves the BBC statement that the Ministry of Propaganda and Cover-up of Child Abuse wanted me to publish, I have placed it in Appendix 1. It is of the “all in the past, nothing to see now” variety.
All very shifty, BBC. Shifty. You are still not coming clean.
Furthermore there has been much publicity about Dave Smith, described as Savile’s chauffeur eg Jimmy Savile chauffeur Dave Smith was ‘prolific paedophile’ with 22 convictions Telegraph [25]
In fact my information is that Smith was not Jimmy Savile’s official chauffeur, as Smith actually worked for breakfast television when Frank Bough, Selina Scott and Debbie Greenwood presented it. They incidentally all knew him by name and were all on good terms with him.
I wrote, as conjecture in my last article on Niven –
Which company did Dave Smith, Jimmy Savile’s chauffeur work for? Did he work for Sinclair’s company, or were there two chauffeur companies used by the BBC that had child abusers?
I can reveal that Dave Smith did work for Niven, for 14 years. Even when he lost his driving licence he was kept on by Niven to work in the office.
So the BBC employed, to chauffeur their employees, clients and guests, Niven Sinclair’s company which was run by and also employed a convicted child rapist.
It is not a valid excuse for the BBC that Niven ran his own company.
The BBC must have had many contracts with the 3 times convicted child rapist. The BBC must publish them.
How did Niven Sinclair get a job with the BBC straight out of jail?
Who got him the job?
Why were checks not done? or why or were checks done and no abuse was found? or did checks find abuse but still Niven was still employed?
Were MI5 involved in vetting?
I wrote this in bold in my last article on Niven, the second part in bold is even more relevant now.
“If Niven Sinclair has not been identified as a convicted serial child rapist, or has been identified but that fact hidden from the public, the BBC has STILL not learnt the lessons. We still do not understand what went wrong in the BBC.”
This also raises questions about the Janet Smith review. Smith addressed the culture of the BBC at the time of Savile’s offending and she looked into various news articles yet she did not follow up on Dave Smith [25] – a 22 times convicted child abusing chauffeur in a BBC employed company.
Why did she not follow up on Niven Sinclair either? She must have known he was the subject of an Operation Yewtree investigation, and with basic research would have found out he was a 3 times convicted multiple child rapist who had worked for the BBC for 30 years surely worthy of mention in her Review. Did she do that research?
Janet Smith said “I have found no evidence that any one BBC employee above producer level could stand accused of complicity in Savile’s crimes in connection with his work at the BBC” [5]. She cleared the broadcaster as a corporate body of knowing about it. She found “no evidence that a senior BBC employee was complicit in Savile’s crimes”
I am not so sure. I think there is a great deal more to come out about abuse at the BBC.
I do not know at present what evidence she needed for a “corporate body to know about Savile’s crimes”, nor which positions are considered “above producer level”, nor what Smith might define as “complicity”. I suggest that senior positions may have been let off lightly so far.
If anyone does have more information on Niven or the BBC, please write in comments below, anonymously if you wish or to me in confidence at niven2@cathyfox.33mail.com
HT to the researcher who researched all the original Niven article as well as some of this one.
SIR Edward Heath’s ex-aide, Nicholas Edgar, killed himself after being arrested by cops investigating child abuse claims.
Nick Edgar, 40, put a shotgun to his head two days after questioning over images on his computer.
The father of three worked as ex-PM Sir Edward’s secretary in the Nineties. He was held by child abuse investigation police in April, 2010.
Edgar was quizzed again four months later (Aug 2010) but then shot himself near his parents’ Cambridgeshire estate.
The former Oxford University Union president got the job with Sir Edward in 1992 and worked for him until late in the decade, spending months at the politician’s Wiltshire home.
David Ainsworth, Wiltshire Police Deputy Chief Constable, was found hanged Mar 22 2011
He had previously served for 22 years with Kent Police, where he rose to assistant chief constable and was the Association of Chief Police Officers’ spokesman on vehicle crime before moving to Wiltshire in 2008.
In 2002 he headed a police task force for the Home Secretary on reducing bureaucracy.
Brian Moore, chief constable of Wiltshire Police, called in South Wales Police to investigate Mr Ainsworth’s conduct.
In June 1995 Heath’s private office, headed at that time by (alleged paedophile) Nicholas Edgar, was set the task of organising three days of lavish celebrations for our visitors at the most prestigious London venues.
Jan 1984 R v O’Dowd: Boy George’s uncle alleges photos of Heath with children exist & Cecil Parkinson attends the court case
From Sept 2014 Two ‘interesting’ allegations – Edward Heath: The Paedophile Prime Minister.
“the producer told me that years before when he was an assistant editor in a cutting room in Wardour Street he used to get his holiday photos developed at a shop in Wardour Street and one day the shop was raided by the police because the owner was dealing in pornography or at least that was the presumed reason. During the raid, a distribution list was discovered which had Ted Heath’s name on it also Patrick Moore’s and it was for “kiddie porn” as it was termed in those days. I do not know how he got this information about the list but apparently “everyone in Wardour Street” knew about it.”
It reminded me of a very strange court case involving Boy George’s uncle Kenneth O’Dowd in 1984 who alleged that he had compromising photographs of Edward Heath . The news reports do not describe what the photographs that included Ted Heath depicted however he says that his former mistress “appeared in pornographic photographs together with his two children”
.
According to The Glasgow Herald, O’Dowd produced a photocopied photograph of Edward Heath but it was “dismissed in court as a forgery”.
.
If you thought that was all very curious then I’m sure you’ll be intrigued about why Cecil Parkinson should take enough interest in this case to attend and observe part of the trial himself, as was John Stapleton and Nick Owen were…Intrigued
Below are two stories about the trial from The Times.
.
January 19th 1984
A woman denied at the Central Criminal Court yesterday that she had appeared in pornographic photographs with Mr Edward Heath, the former Prime Minister. The woman, a mother of three children, whose former boy friend has pleaded not guilty to raping and assaulting her, said she had never met Mr Heath, or been photographed in indecent positions with men or children. The man has asserted that the charges against him have been fabricated by the woman and the police. “He says they wish to muzzle his evidence to bring to book certain persons, including the woman, who he says appeared in pornographic photographs together with his two children”, the court has been told by Mr Stephen Mitchell, for the prosecution. The defendant had claimed he found photographs showing a man he recognized as Edward Heath and another man he has named as a Det Sgt Wallace. Mr Heath has denied being in the alleged photographs. The woman said in evidence yesterday that, although the defendant had taken some pictures of her undressed, they were of her alone. She said she had never been photographed with det Sgt Wallace or had sexual intercourse with him. Cross-examined by the defendant, she denied ever seeing a briefcase in her home with the initials “E.A.H.” on it. She also denied his allegation that she had been part of a prostitution ring. The trial was adjourned until today.
.
January 18th 1984
An accused man’s claim that he was framed by the authorities because he had discovered pornographic photographs of his lover, naked, In poses with Mr Edward Heath, the former Prime Minister, and a detective sergeant, were “wild and totally unfounded” the prosecution maintained at the Central Criminal Court yesterday. Mr Stephen Mlitchell, for the Crown, told a jury of seven women and five men that the allegations of the existence of such photographs had been made last October at the man’s first trial which was halted after three weeks and a new trial ordered. The defendant, aged 37, has pleaded not guilty to charges of raping and assaulting his former mistress, aged 32, a mother of three daughters. The defendant claimed he had discovered five colour photographs in the jewel box of the woman with whom he lived at their flat in 1976, while they were living at Woolwich, south east London. Their young daughters were looking on allegedly as the woman posed on her bed. Mr Heath was said to have been in two of the photographs, and the detective Sergeant, Brian Wallace, in three of them. But, Mr Mitchell said, no such photographs existed, although the jury would probably spent a great deal of time listening to comments about them. The defendant also claimed that he had found a black briefcase, bearing an MP’s initials, in a cupboard at his former lover’s flat. Some photographs did exist, Mr Mitchell said. The woman remembered that she had once posed nude and semi-nude. But the existence of “the odd dirty photo” whould not have any great influence on the case, he said. The man was accused of threatening his former lover with a knife and a hammer after breaking into her home in September 1982, and raping and assaulting her.

Group of women who say they were abused by Sir Edward Heath also claim their parents ran a satanic sex cult that was involved in SIXTEEN child murders
Feb 20 2017
They claim their mother and father – knew the former Conservative leader.
They allege that the politician was part of a satanic sex cult run by their own parents.
The women’s claims were dismissed by police in 1989 when they came forward. Sir Edward’s name was never mentioned to police at the time. It was only last year that he was named for the first time after one of the claimants said she had ‘remembered’ a man called ‘Ed’ was a prime mover in a network of paedophile abusers.
“They say that the cult regularly slaughtered children as ritual sacrifices in churches and forests around southern England (Wiltshire is considered part of Southern England) and also participated in similar ceremonies in Africa.”
[Africa : Richard Hoskins / John Smyth (went to Africa in 1984 – funded by Colman Family from 1989 on – Lady Colman – friend and relation of the royal family.]

Revealed: Ex-chief constable who says Cyril Smith cover-up went right to the top
Retired police chief reveals there was a ‘cover-up’ of Cyril Smith’s crimes
Former head of Lancashire Police, Albert Laugharne, says it was ordered by a top official
Albert Laugharne is highest ranking ex-officer to give details of a cover-up
Claims follow revelations on how Smith’s powerful friends hid his abuse
A retired chief constable has revealed that a ‘sinister cover-up’ of the crimes of paedophile MP Cyril Smith was ordered by a top official working for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Albert Laugharne, former Chief Constable of Lancashire Police, said that in the 1970s he was asked to lie about the politician’s alleged sexual abuse of a boy.
This newspaper has been told that a surveillance squad targeting a paedophile ring providing rent boys for orgies photographed Leon Brittan entering premises where the parties were believed to have been held on at least two occasions. At the time he was a minister in the Home Office.
A planned raid was called off at the last moment, allegedly on orders from senior Met command. Photographs and papers that could have been used as evidence then went missing, one officer who was part of the surveillance team has alleged.

…told to hand over all evidence they had gathered on Smith — including notebooks and incriminating video film — and to say nothing more of the affair.
If they did speak out they might be prosecuted under the Official Secrets Act.
Mr Laugharne was given, he says, a clear indication that Smith enjoyed special privileges as a predatory paedophile VIP.
Sir Tony Hetherington, the DPP at the time that the then Lancashire police chief Albert Laugharne was told by his office to shut up about Smith.
Sir Tony Hetherington, the DPP is dead, Cyril Smith andLeon Brittan are dead, as is Willie Whitelaw who had, while Home Secretary in 1980, allegedly blocked a police investigation into a Westminster paedophile ring.
However, former Met boss Sir David McNee is still with us.
Smith had been investigated by Lancashire police at least four times by then, going back to the Sixties. The investigations were all halted.
Cyril SMITH reviewed on charges 1998 and 1999 when 2 more allegations were submitted – went to same reviewing lawyer who again decided not to proceed – even tho in 1998 he had also said that a conviction would prob have been obtained against smith.

Lord David Steel (left) put Rochdale MP Cyril Smith (right) … for a knighthood, despite being told of abuse allegations against him.
The politician, now Lord Steel, was made aware of the reports that Smith had sexually abused young boys in his hometown of Rochdale, Lancashire, in 1979.
But dismissed the allegations – claiming: ‘All he seems to have done is spanked a few bare bottoms’.

Pervert MP Cyril Smith was pals with satanic child sex monster
Victim Michael Roberts reveals his devil-worshipping stepdad Michael Horgan organised abuse
Sept 3 2014
Paedophile MP Cyril Smith was in league with another appalling child sex abuser who set up satanic rituals and raped children as young as TWO.
Victim Michael Roberts, 40, today bravely puts aside his right to anonymity to tell for the first time how he was only six when he was sexually abused by 29-stone politician Smith.
Michael Horgan, who has also used the name Shaun O’Donnell, became known as the High Priest of Satan.
He organised outdoor “parties” for these activities on Saddleworth Moor, where child killers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley had buried their victims.
Youngsters from two to 13 were drugged, tortured and sexually abused during the satanic “ceremonies”.
He was jailed for 10 years and placed on the sex offenders’ register after he was found guilty of six sex abuse charges in 1992
The shock revelation over the satanist and MP’s friendship raises questions over any role Smith and Jimmy Savile may have played in Horgan’s paedo ring.
Horgan was also pals with Raymond Hewlett, the child rapist questioned in relation to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
Only last month they announced Brady letters will remain classified until 2051.
Prof Tom Clark, of Sheffield University, has been examining Hindley’s prison records for his serial killer book The Sociology of Evil, due to be published next year.
He said: “These are all letters that Brady and Hindley wrote to each other in prison knowing they would be intercepted.
“I would not have batted an eyelid if the request was refused on the basis Brady is not dead yet or because they mentioned someone still alive working in the prison service.
“But I am very surprised and intrigued by the suggestion the letters might contain information to find Keith’s body.
“Why should they want to keep the letters kept secret when the police have not done anything for years?
“The frustrating thing is we cannot actually see the letters so there is no way of finding out what was in them using the secret code.
“There was only an eye witness to the last crime and I have always suspected there was more to come out.
“There are still records which have been redacted, such as the second chapter of the autobiography Hindley wrote in prison.
“But they are usually blanked out to prevent identification of someone working in the prison service not because they would identify where a body is buried.”
He added that he thinks the letters should be published to solve one of the worst crimes in history.
25-year- old inquiry is reopened after NOW investigation
Two of Britain’s most evil paedophiles are to be quizzed over the sex murder of schoolgirl Lesley Molseed 25 years ago-after new evidence was uncovered by the News of the World.
The 11-year-old-known as Little Miss Chatterbox was appallingly assaulted, knifed to death and left on moors. The News of the World has now linked the horror to pink-haired Michael Horgan, Raymond Hewlett and a third man we are not naming.
A hardened detective, who keeps a photo of Lesley on his desk, has opened 148 new lines of inquiry into her murder as a result of our dossier. Det Chief Supt Max McLean glanced at the picture and said:
“I’ve been looking at it for some time. This is a case that stirs you to want to do your best. Your dossier’s been extremely helpful.”
Lesley, who had a heart defect, was killed in October 1975 while on an errand for her mum. She was sexually assaulted, knifed 12 times and dumped near her home town of Rochdale, Lancs. Educationally subnormal Stefan Kiszko was found guilty of the murder, but freed after 16 years when DNA evidence cleared him.
Our dossier indicates that satanic child-sex abuser Horgan-now 52 and with a Mohican hairstyle-‘groomed’ Lesley leading up to her death. On the afternoon of her disappearance, loner Horgan – now at a hostel in London’s Elephant and Castle-was spotted luring her away from the shops with a bag of sweets. Later that day he was seen with the distraught child clawing to get out of a car.
Early the next day he and the man we are not naming spent two hours meticulously scrubbing a blue van. We also discovered Lesley’s body was found five miles from a house where Horgan and other paedophiles subjected children to satanic abuse. He was a close friend of serial child sex offender Hewlett, at the time of the murder.
Tapes
We have tapes of meetings we set up between Horgan and his ex-wife Eileen, 63.
She quizzes him about Lesley. He replies:
“You’re putting me in a coffin.”
Horgan’s stepdaughter, a schoolpal of Lesley, vividly recalls Horgan bringing the 11-year-old back to their home. The 33-year-old stepdaughter said:
“My stepdad said, ‘Do you want some sweets?’ Lesley said, ‘Yeah’.”
Eileen recalls seeing Horgan leading Lesley away from a nearby sweetshop.
Horgan was convicted in 1992 of hanging children from hooks and sexually abusing them in satanic rituals.
Raymond Hewlett was living just an hour’s drive from where the Maddy McCann disappeared in the Algarve in May 2007 while she was on holiday with her parents
Hewlett has a string of convictions for abducting and raping young girls and has served long stretches in jail.
Note:
Raymond Hewlettwas considered to be the prime suspect in disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Questions have been raised regarding the McCann photofit of alleged abductor, bearing a remarkable resemblance to Hewlett as he appeared years younger than he was at the time of Madeleine’s disappearance.
Det Chief Supt Max McLean traveled to Germany to interview Hewlett prior to Hewlett’s death in German hospital.
July 2011 Questions are being raised regarding the earliest examples of the News of the World hacking phones. Was this article based on illegally obtained information?
Why did the News of the World provide details regarding Raymond Hewlett and Michael Horgan and yet protect the identity of the third man they suspect was involved in the Lesley Molseed murder?
Myra Hindley exposed as a ‘practicing WITCH’ whose occult links lead to Jimmy Savile
30th July 2017
MOORS murderer Myra Hindley has been accused of being a practicing witch who worshipped the occult alongside Ian Brady while the duo carried out their evil crimes.
At Ian Brady’s side, monstrous Hindley was responsible for the murder and torture of at least five children in the 1960s.But now it has emerged that the evil pair were versed in the occult, and took their child victims to Saddleworth Moor to carry out sadistic rituals.Hindley has been accused of taking on the look of the witch while Brady behaved as the alchemist, according to Moors murder expert Erica Gregory.Speaking exclusively to Daily Star Online, she said: “Myra was given a high status by Brady from the start.“This was his way of manipulating her into doing exactly what he wanted.“Myra took the role of the persecuted women in history while Brady was taking on the role of alchemist – they even found books on witchcraft in their house when police arrested them.“We have found evidence they were doing rituals on the Moors – we’ve seen knotted ropes, hare and sheep bones with evidence of large fires lit up around oak trees.”
Gregory even believes that the the murders were meticulously planned for ritualistic purposes – with the evil duo choosing to kill their victims on dates important within the occult calendar.“The murders were separated by four months – I believe Brady chose dates and times for his rituals,” she said.“Tommy Rhattigan, for example, was taken in November 1963 – the same day Margaret Murray died – who was a famous witch.“I believe her death, and the fact it was the anniversary of the Battle of Sheriffmuir was a trigger for Tommy to be picked up.”
It is no secret that witchcraft and satanic worshipping were big in the 1960s – with several high-profile Hollywood films airing in the era.And the Moors murderers even had links to infamous Alex Sanders – who rose to notoriety for attempting to raise a dead body in Alderley Edge and was a known friend of Jimmy Savile.“Brady and Hindley sought out Sanders when he worked at the John Rylands Library in Manchester which held books on occultism.“Sanders went on to work on films with Sharon Tate and he was friends with Savile, too – so there’s a clear link.”This comes after Daily Star Online exclusively revealed that Brady was accused of selling child pornography to the shamed former DJ.Hindley and Brady were given life sentences in 1966.Together, they killed Pauline Reade, John Kilbride, Keith Bennett, Lesley Ann Downey and Edward Evans between July 1963 and October 1965.At least four of them, including Bennett, were sexually assaulted.It comes after Daily Star Online exclusively revealed Ian Brady’s evil map that could cryptically lead to the location of Keith Bennett’s body – which has never been found.
Erica Gregory – who has devoted years of her life investigating the Moors murders – believes they even formed a twisted “paedophile ring”.
she said: “I believe they went to the BBC studio regularly to make a fuss and try to get in with Savile.
“Alongside David Smith, Brady was selling photographs of children to make money at this time – I believe Savile could have been one of his customers.
“It is well known that Savile visited them both inside. I believe they were in a ring of some sort.”
It doesn’t stop there, though.
In 2014, Dan Davies noted that Savile chillingly replied “I am the Myra Hindley story” when asked on his opinion of it.And Gregory believes that Savile continued to communicate with the killers after their incarceration – visiting them and using songs played on the radio to transmit coded messages.“Savile could have been using his radio for secret messages,” she said.“Brady used music in tapes and songs that he stated reminded him of the Moors.“And Savile knew that if he played a song at a certain time then those listening would get the message.”http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/624549/Moors-murders-Jimmy-Savile-Ian-Brady-Myra-Hindley-paedophile-child-killers-Saddleworth-BBCDavid Smith allegedly and conveniently committed suicide:

Lord Lexden, who proposed the debate, calls ‘Nick’, the man who made allegations in relation to Dolphin Square a “fantasist”, and the subsequent police investigation looking into the matter, “ludicrous”.
He minimises current child abuse allegations about Bishop George Bell by suggesting that a book written in his honour and Lord Lexden’s own involvement with Bell as a member of the George Bell Support Group to clear his name somehow confirm Bell’s innocence – and at the same time criticises the lack of due process in abuse investigations.
Lexden then suggests that the media should not be allowed to report on cases, alluding to allegations involving the church. (Like Butler-Sloss?)

Was owner of paedophile palace who kept list of secret VIP vistors murdered?
11 NOV 2017
The Elm Guest House owner was found dead in 1990 but newly released files have led people to question if she committed suicide, and a call for a fresh inquest
The discovery of files that police said were destroyed has cast fresh doubts on the suicide verdict at the heart of the Westminster VIP paedo scandal.
Campaigners are demanding a review of the coroner’s verdict into the death of Carole Kasir and a new inquest.
Mrs Kasir ran the notorious paedophile brothel Elm Guest House in South West London. She may have kept a dossier of the perverted visitors’ names and photos from the early 80s.
The newly found files reveal her GP’s surprise at her apparent suicide. They also say syringes and vials found next to her body had not been analysed.
One source believes a fresh probe may expose a cover-up and reveal that Mrs Kasir, 47, who was found dead in her bed in 1990, had been murdered.
The Kasir files were released to campaigners under freedom of information rules after London’s Met Police said they had been destroyed.
Andrew Bridgen, Tory MP for North West Leicestershire, is among those calling for another inquest.
He said: “There is a case for a fresh investigation into the anomalies raised by these documents. One is that her GP questioned whether she had committed suicide but there are also other anomalies.”
Among the prominent people said to have visited the guest house and engaged in sex – some with consenting adults and some with children – were a government minister, a high-ranking policeman, a member of the Royal Household, an MI5 officer, traitor Anthony Blunt and Sir Peter Morrison, the Parliamentary Private Secretary to Margaret Thatcher.
A police investigation in 2015 failed to prove claims Mrs Kasir had kept a list and picture of the visitors.
A source close to the original investigation said: “If there’s a fresh look at Carole’s death and a full investigation into what exactly was going on at the time then there’s a good chance these things could turn up. If that happens it will blow the lid off any cover-up and it could reveal that she was murdered.
“I don’t think there’s any doubt this place is at the centre of things. The fact these files were found after the Met said they didn’t exist shows there is information out there that we could get.”
The papers show diabetic Mrs Kasir, convicted in 1983 for possessing obscene videos and keeping a disorderly house, tried to kill herself previously and she was found with an overdose of insulin.
Pathologist Richard Shepherd said her death was “not due to natural causes” noting her profound low blood sugar consistent with excessive injected insulin. One abnormality raised in the files is a decision by the poison unit at New Cross Hospital in London not to analyse the syringes and vials found next to her body to see if they were connected to her death or to check her stomach contents. Experts say this should have been normal practice in a toxicology report.
Colin Peters, a Foreign Office barrister, was also named as an alleged Elm House regular. Notorious paedophile Sidney Cooke was linked to providing boys for VIP sex parties in London.
Elm House itself was said to be home to a sauna and a video suite where sick films could be made. A man who said he was taken there as a child claimed he was plied with drink and made to wear a fairy costume while abusers chased him.
The files even raise a question mark about Mrs Kasir’s home country. The official report says she was born in Germany as Carole Weitzman, based on evidence given to the inquest by her estranged husband Haroon Kasir.
But a close family member says she was born in London and may have had the surname Jones. A campaigner said: “The fact that there are question marks over the basics makes you wonder what else went wrong. The whole thing needs re-examining.”
Deputy Labour leader Tom Watson was told by the Metropolitan Police that all the documents relating to the inquest had been destroyed.
Now it has emerged that information is untrue. Hammersmith coroner’s court, which held the inquest has released redacted accounts of the coroner’s notes, seen by the Sunday People. Evidence given by David Walker, who was a GP from the practice where Mrs Kasir had been a patient for 14 years, cast doubt on whether she had killed herself.
The evidence said she had attempted suicide in 1982, when the guest house was raided, been hospitalised after an overdose in 1984 and had a drinking problem in 1989 and was a heavy smoker.
But he said: “When there are marital difficulties you see the patient in a depressed light. Sometimes she was cheerful and friendly. I would not expect her to commit suicide.”
The postmortem report and the poisons unit report both show she had no alcohol in her body at the time of

The postmortem report and the poisons unit report both show she had no alcohol in her body at the time of death.
Elm Guest House first came to public attention after MP Tom Watson raised questions in the House of Commons about a historic Westminster paedophile ring.
The house in Barnes, South West London, was said to have been used for child sexual abuse by VIP paedos in the 1980s. A 1982 leaflet published by the Conservative Group for Homosexual Equality said: “The facilities include a sauna, solarium and video studio.”
Just weeks later the guest house was raided by police. Carole and Haroon Kasir were convicted at the Old Bailey of running a brothel.
Visitors were said to have included the late Lib Dem MP and paedophile Cyril Smith.
Elm and the nearby former Grafton Close children’s home, run by Richmond Council, were subject to a police investigation, Operation Fernbridge, which led to the arrest and jailing of a Roman Catholic priest,Tony McSweeney, for three years in 2015.
John Stingmore, the former manager of the children’s home, was also arrested and charged and as the coroner’s papers show, was convicted as a paedophile after he left Richmond Council. Stingmore died just before he was due to face trial so one of the charges related to bringing a boy to Elm Guest House was never tested in court.
McSweeney’s offences did not involve the guest house.
In early 1983 Mrs Kasir was convicted with her husband Haroon Kasir of running a disorderly house.
Although the identities of many of the VIP visitors has been a source of speculation, police confirmed to a Channel 4 Dispatches programme that Smith – whose paedophile activities at Rochdale are currently being examined by the independent child sex abuse inquiry – did visit the guest house. The inquiry was also told that MI5 lied about knowledge they had he was a paedophile.
Who was running the show, when MI5 was apparently running boy brothels from one end of the UK to the other?
Lord Victor Rothschild (above) pulled the strings within MI5 and MI6.
Among the reported visitors to the Elm Guest House boy brothel were Victor Rothschild’s friend Sir Anthony Blunt of MI5 and John Rowe of MI5.
Lord Victor Rothschild was reportedly the power behind such Prime Ministers as Churchill, Heath and Thatcher.
The government minister responsible for MI5, Leon Brittan, reportedly visited Elm Guest House.
Terry Dwyer and John Rowe (MI5) persuaded Carol Kasir to change her guest house to a gay one.
Introduced her to a South African from Holland called Peter Glencross who runs a paedophile magazine called ‘Spartacus’.
Dwyer and Haddon were using the place to supply boys for sex.
Among those using it was Louis Minster, Director of Social Services, Richmond, Colin Peters QC, Donald Naismith, Director of Education Wandsworth and number of police.
Boys supplied by Neil Keir OIC (Officer in Charge) Grafton Lodge Childrens Home.

Just so people understand the links, it was during this court case that Proctor’s name arose. Proctor & Dwyer/Allen had been in a relationship in early 80s for 2 years. Dwyer then provided boys…
Dwyer would DELIVER boys to Proctor, or meet him at either Earls Court or Victoria Station to hand boys over for £35 a pop. Up to six boys a week…
Here is Proctor denying any responsibility for his own downfall. The sociopath blamed his conviction on the press and the boys involved. Sound familiar?
Note how his demeanour changes when Annette calmly tells him she has a piece of his bondage equipment at her house. Each to their own, but not with minors Harv, eh.
And just WHAT WAS Terry Dwyer/Allen doing at a @Conservatives cocktail party in Kent in 1983? (Which is where he first met Proctor).
Could Dwyer/Allen’s presence at a Tory party have any connection to Anthony Gilberthorpe’s claims that he was asked to procure young boys for MPs?
And why did Thatcher fail to act on the first hand evidence Gilberthorpe & Dickens provided? Was it because she was running out of political allies? Saved herself.
And why are so many of these depraved beings connected to Yorkshire? I dunno about you but I’m getting a bit sick and tired of being mugged off with barefaced lies.
Anyway, it appears the gauntlet has been thrown down to Proctor – take Nick to court and Nick will be supported and backed by those sold to Proctor as young ‘rent boys’. I hope Nick gets that message & knows he’s not alone.

Could someone please give me a valid reason why the owner of an agency that procured young vulnerable boys off the streets and sent them out to work as “rent boys”, was at a Tory cocktail party in 1983? Did @InquiryCSA question it? I’ve asked before but have never had an answer.
So one of the “rent boys” in the Harvey Proctor case was actually picked up by Harv’s boyfriend, Terry Woods, and then handed over to Harv, who took him back to his flat for six weeks. That’s thoughtful innit?
The insurance company Royal and Sun Alliance Insurance Group spent £750,000 pounds in legal fees to prevent paying out £200,000 to the victims of the abuse despite knowing that the claims were true:
The State placed the children in Bryn Alyn Community childrens homes and paid for the children to be abused by Allen and Staff and VIP paedophiles.
Since then the State, the Courts and all the people involved have made the children suffer further abuse and relive their childhood abuse over and over again whilst giving them nothing but grief in return.

Is it a coincidence that Peter Morrison’s constituency was surrounded by Neil Hamilton’s Tatton and (if he had won) by the paedophile Patrick Rock (Crewe/Nantwich) at the height of the Puddington Paedophile’s abuse?
Lord Margadale (Morrison) had previously entertained two other of Savile’s favourites:
Princess Alexandra (whose husband Sir Angus Ogilvy he’d been Vice-President to his Presidency of the National Association of Youth Clubs while Sir Harold Haywood reigned)
What more do we know of Sir Edward and his views on sexuality?
In 1998, at the age of 82 and three years before he left Parliament, he was one of just 17 Conservative MPs to vote in favour of lowering the legal age of consent for homosexual sex to 16.
Leading Westminster figures including ex-Home Secretary Leon Brittan named in Government documents
The documents name Margaret Thatcher’s former parliamentary secretary the late Sir Peter Morrison, former Home Secretary Sir Leon Brittan, former diplomat the late Sir Peter Hayman and former minister the late Sir William van Straubenzee
An open secret which only Thatcher and her sycophants knew nothing about …
Crime reporter Nick Davies twice received tip-offs from police who said Morrison had been caught with underage boys but had been released with a caution.
Are we still waiting for the report or was it deliberately forgotten and buried? @conservatives
The Conservative Party has confirmed it is investigating reports linking Morrison to the allegations.
Mrs. Sara Morrison:
“I later asked Ted and he effectively said that he was sexless. I forget the actual term he used…”
At 50, she proclaimed she was a virgin admitting to just one chaste romance back in the 1970s, with fellow Oxford student Colin Maltby. Then she described television and sex as the two things in life she did very nicely without.
It’s striking how often she feels the need to emphasise that this is her choice, that she has never felt anything less than fulfilled. Instinct tells you that such prickliness isn’t only a response to snide Daily Mail journalists; the spikes surely protect a complicated place that a less gauche and more emotionally able woman might just have been willing to visit.

Mr Heseltine it was who gave the Conservative candidate, Mr Patrick Rock, his political breakthrough by employing him as a research assistant in the late 1970s.
The defeat was a double blow for Mrs Thatcher because the Conservative candidate, Mr Patrick Rock, had worked in her private office at Downing Street and was well-known to the Prime Minister.
Thatcher, whom he first served as PPS in opposition (1975-79) immediately after her election as Tory leader, rated him more highly as a team player, promoting him to the privy council in 1984 and rewarding him with a knighthood in 1986.
Margaret Thatcher made him minister of state for industry under Sir Keith Joseph, switching him to Northern Ireland in 1981

Hatton Garden Bank heist -at the Baker Street branch of Lloyds Bank
Now, one of the men, in his 70s, has spoken to the Mirror from his home in Europe. The ex-gang member said he was terrified to discover one box belonged to the-then head of the judiciary.
He said: “It was owned by Quintin Hogg, the Lord Chancellor.
1963 He said: “When we opened it we dropped it on the floor like it was a time bomb.…the gang didn’t have time to go through all of the stash and ended up taking some sensitive material.
“When we got out we realised we had a lot more than we’d bargained for.“Princess Margaret is said to have taken snaps of “male friends” frolicking naked He said: “I can’t talk about that. But we did find a lot of guns.
And what was most disturbing was the child pornography we found.
We were disgusted and left it in their open boxes so police could trace the owners.”
Harvey Proctor’s fine was paid by Dai Llewellyn. He was a close friend of Sarah Ferguson, Jeffrey Epstein’s pal. Dai’s brother is Roddy who had an 8-year relationship with Princess Margaret.
Dai Llewellyn worked as a travel agent, journalist, male model and as the social secretary of the Clermont Club and the Dorchester club.[4]
Chris Dereham was a business associate of the late society figure Sir Dai Llewellyn and once helped him organise an aid convoy to Yugoslavia, but the two later had a disagreement over money.
Roddy Llewellyn goes swimming whilst on holiday with Princess
Margaret in Mustique in 1976Tennant borrowed Llewellyn’s camera and took a snap of the Princess with the stark-naked Llewellyn and Courtney on either side of her, the skirts of her swimming costume obscuring their private parts. In turn, the Princess took photographs of the three naked men performing comical poses together.
Nicky Haslam also had an affair with Roddy Llewellyn, who later became her lover (and, but for the fact that he was almost 18 years her junior, might even have become her second husband).In fact, Nicky and Roddy lived together for a year in a basement flat in Fulham, parted only by a lovers’ quarrel.
A sinister phone caller said that if we continued with our “campaign” against the kinky MP he would reveal compromising details of an alleged relationship between Mr Maxwell’s daughter Ghislaine and the son of a Duke. The anonymous male caller, who tried to get through to Mr Maxwell, told his receptionist:
“I will produce a story about Ghislaine and Lord Granby at Belvoir castle with incriminating pictures of them in compromising positions.”
Coincidentally, Harvey Proctor is now employed as Private Secretary to the Duke of Rutland at Belvoir castle.
“With the assistance of Maxwell, Epstein was able to sexually abuse Giuffre for years until Giuffre eventually escaped,” the lawsuit says. “As part of their sex trafficking efforts, Epstein and Maxwell intimidated Giuffre into remaining silent about what had happened to her.”
It was while working for Epstein, Roberts claimed, that she had sex with Prince Andrew. She also said she took part in an orgy that the Prince attended on the financier’s private Caribbean island. (The royal has strongly denied all her claims.)
Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell (top) and Virginia Roberts Giuffre (bottom)
The defamation trial against Epstein’s friend Ghislaine Maxwell was set to start Monday — more than a decade after the billionaire was first arrested for soliciting underage girls — but it has been postponed because lawyers are close to negotiating a settlement, sources say.
Virginia Roberts Giuffre is suing Maxwell, whose late father owned the Daily News, in Manhattan federal court because Maxwell called her a liar.
Giuffre — who was 15 and working as a towel girl at Mar-a-Lago when Maxwell met her — claims Epstein turned her into a slave and forced her to have sex with his friends, including Prince Andrew, Duke of York, who denied her allegations.
Since Epstein was also friends with Bill Clinton, and was defended by Alan Dershowitz, their names were dragged into the case, too. But sources say they were never going to be called as witnesses.
Now, in a big disappointment to journalists, anti-sex-trafficking activists and Clinton haters, there may be no trial.
“After 11 years and much high drama, [Giuffre’s lawyer] David Boies asked his client to settle the case,” one insider told me.
Giuffre has already collected a settlement from Epstein and sold her story to the UK’s Daily Mail, but her testimony was hotly anticipated.
The blonde was expected to tell in sordid detail how Maxwell routinely recruited young girls and taught them how to give erotic massages that led to sex and prostitution.
If they don’t settle, the trial is now set for May 25.
Parliament Lied to the Daily Mail to Cover Up Barclays’ Role in Pedogate while Judiciary Chief Paul Kernaghan investigated for his role in Ted Heath’s paedophile ring.
Staley was lobbied into his position by elite paedophile pimp Jeffrey Epstein.
UK’s Treasury Select Committee told the Daily Mail it would quiz Staley.
Parliament’s response to FOIA confirms Staley’s appointment was never challenged.
Staley threatened to have gold rigging lawsuit quashed against his bank.
Police files show Judicial Internal Affairs boss Paul Kernaghan, tasked with investigating corrupt judges involved in Barclays gold rigging cover up, was a named suspect in RAINS list, that identified Ted Heath’s and Cyril Smith’s paedophilia five years before it became mainstream news.
Former Lord Chief Justice, Baron Thomas, and former Lord Chancellor Elizabeth Truss MP, covered up a judicial paedophilia normalization programme, and allowed Kernaghan to keep his post while he was under investigation for his role in child abuse rings.
The current Lord Chief Justice, Sir Ian Burnett, appears to have nullified the gold rigging lawsuit within 24 hours of Baron Thomas being notified of Deutsche Bank’s involvement in its £65 billion money laundering operation.
Above left, Staley and wife. Above right, Epstein and Prince Andrew.
Readers of the SGT Report or The International Reporter may be aware of an article they kindly published for me in the Summer in which I reviewed some of Epstein’s links into the British banking system.
Of particular and personal interest to me is one Jes Staley, current CEO of Barclays, who threatened to have my lawsuit against his bank struck out of court. His bank appears to be incriminated by Deutsche Bank in a parallel lawsuit in New York.
The Daily Mail had published an article concerning Staley’s appointment, for it appears that the top position was gifted to him by his friend, the infamous paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was reported to have threatened the nation of Great Britain should the establishment have hired someone else.
Now while the Treasury Select Committee in that article told the Daily Mail and its readers it would grille Staley on these very serious allegations, a response to a Freedom of Information Act request told another story:
Mark Garnier MP and John Mann MP were both explicitly named in the Daily Mail article. I had written a letter to them shortly after the FOIA response came back (on the 26th July 2017) to ask why there was an apparent contradiction. Neither MP responded. Jeremy Lefroy, my constituency MP, said he would ask the head of the Treasury Select Committee for an explanation. Mr Lefroy is almost singular – a politician who provided the UK courts a letter of recommendation, advocating summary judgement against Deutsche Bank for gold manipulation. Precious metal rigging is up there with #pizzagate when it comes to discussion in mainstream politician venues. In the event that some ‘honest’ explanation is found, it will be published in a follow-up article.
As a side note, Staley is an executive of the Robin Hood Foundation, from which disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein resigned on the 10th of October 2017. Weinstein seems to be a sadistic sexual predator and is involved with the Clintons, the Democrats and Jeffrey Epstein – just like Jes Staley.
Diana Jenkins, the ex-wife of former Barclays executive Roger Jenkins (not to be confused with Barclays’ Anthony Jenkins) was recently alleged to have been running an elite paedophile ring in Hollywood circles. Diana Jenkins is involved with the Clintons, the Qataris and Haiti, having funded Sean Penn’s ventures into that country. Roger Jenkins is currently in custody and facing a trial for corrupt deals with Qatar. Qatar fund ISIS, who are known to swap arms for gold – the price of which Barclays’ cabal friend – Deutsche Bank – is known to have suppressed.
The FOIA implies Parliament’s Treasury Select Committee told an outright lie to the Daily
Mail and its readership suggesting the Westminster paedophile ring has agents therein. One may think that the Financial Markets and Services Group – another Parliamentary Quango – would be interested in a banker appointed at the decree of a convicted paedophile pimp Jeffrey Epstein. None of its members would reply to an email to them on these matters written in August of this year. Interestingly the father of a prominent member of that group is on the RAINS list, along with Ted Heath, Cyril Smith, Michael Winner, Paul Kernaghan and many others.
The RAINS List (Ritual Abuse Information Network and Support)
As a result of naming and shaming particularly insidious characters in the executive of the UK Judiciary, I have been contacted by people involved with their own battles against corruption against the very same people. Some of these are in the police and intelligence services, and they were kind enough to supply me with an internal memo, otherwise known as the RAINS list. Up to now it has been top secret and even Chief Constable Mike Veale was not disclosed a copy when he was investigating allegations of child rape against former Prime Minister Ted Heath. Mike Veale concluded that a number of independent allegations against Heath from the 1960s were entirely valid. Veale had been pressurized by many MPs to whitewash the investigation, some of whom have friends and colleagues named in the RAINS list. One famous Daily Mail columnist who railed against Veale earlier this month is also on the list.
The document was compiled between 2005 and 2007 – way before the allegations against Ted Heath and Cyril Smith caught the mainstream attention. It also named Michael Winner, the deceased executive from the same mould as Harvey Weinstein. It alleges a child abuse cult. Ted Heath was accused in it of wearing a set of fake claws when he molested his victims, which is the appendage of a sadists’ sexual fantasy. The fact that individuals named on that list have been determined to be guilty for the type of allegations made elsewhere gives very great credibility to its source. Not all of the names are suspects, some are informants, so it would be irresponsible to release the entire document.
The important message is that the RAINS list alleges a paedophile ring, not just names of
people under investigation, and that Cyril Smith and Ted Heath were part of the same ring. There are a number of MPs still living on that list, and some still serve in the House of Lords so its release is greatly feared by those culprits that know of its existence. In the case that I am suicided, arrested, dispossessed or my reputation ruined, the full list will go public. But I will expose one name here – perhaps the most serious entry on the list, for he is Paul Kernaghan, Judicial Appointment and Conduct Ombudsman – the man who judges the judges in the UK.
He was a former police chief, who retired early and given new life in the judiciary. He has been alleged to have covered-up paedophile rings while he served as police chief from several independent sources, and these have led to an ongoing investigation. His entry in the RAINS list claims he was involved in a Satanic Freemason ritual. The allegation would have come from detectives in the paedophile ring so we can figure those rituals would involve the abuse of children.
Kernaghan is known to me, because he let the former Lord Chief Justice, Baron Thomas, avoid recusal from office for violating the Data Protection Act. Thomas had refused to admit that his successor, Sir Ian Burnett, never had a transcript of hearing when Burnett dismissed over twenty allegations of misconduct against former Judge Simon Brown QC in my lawsuit against Deutsche Bank for gold rigging. In that lawsuit I alleged Deutsche Bank were involved in a Russian money laundering operation. Subsequently Deutsche Bank, RBS, Barclays and HSBC (all defendants in my lawsuit) are shown to be involved exactly as alleged to the tune of £65 billion. Email records show that Burnett closed the appeals 24 hours after my letter to Thomas arrived in his email folder.
Now it is unthinkable that Kernaghan could be under investigation not just for blocking a police investigation into paedophile rings, but under investigation for indulging in those vices himself as part of some perverted sub-cult of Freemasons, while the former Lord Chancellor Elizabeth Truss and the current Lord Chancellor David Lidington MP and the former Lord Chief Justice Baron Thomas and current Lord Chief Justice Sir Ian Burnett were never informed. They would have to know that Kernaghan was under investigation, and that he was named in the RAINS list. He was entirely unfit for office. At the very least he should have been suspended until the investigation was concluded.
Of course, if they did know, they would be in perfect position to blackmail Kernaghan, and Burnett would be sure to have kept his office and Thomas avoided disgrace for the cover up of the most serious financial frauds. Baron Thomas has personally put men in prison (Tom Hayes et al) for Libor rigging. For that matter, Julian Assange has spent more than half a decade holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy as a result of Thomas’ decrees. Wikileaks has released documents that showed gold rigging fraud was established at the national level. Liabilities for gold rigging are estimated to
be more than an order of magnitude higher than those of Libor manipulation.
Judge Simon Brown QC, before his early ‘retirement’ appears to have done judicial favours for businessman Alan Jackson who is involved with Acorns – a charity for dying children. Such a charity is a perfect vehicle for some special kinds of activity is it not? One wonders whether Brown’s payment involved visits to those dying children, and whether Kernaghan ever met Brown or Jackson at a Freemason ceremony, and if so, what were kind of rituals went on? Brown was administrating a charity for a boys’ school from 2002-2005.
In my latest hearing Deutsche Bank still claim to be undertaking their gold trading audits, they claimed in Reuters – even after they released 75 audiotapes incriminating themselves in the New York lawsuit. They refused to hand over receipts and would neither confirm nor deny destroying them. Anshu Jain’s lawyers claimed he was entitled to received enhanced damages due to the attack I made on the reputation of judges. Judge David James Worster awarded them £15,000 on that basis. Presumably Jain intends to distribute the winnings to Kernaghan and Burnett. Worster invited me to appeal his ruling that deemed my allegations of Deutsche Bank’s gold rigging as ‘totally without merit.’ The appeal would involve Kernaghan and Burnett, executives of the judiciary. The Birmingham Courts have refused my request for a copy of the court recording. Not a single lawyer from the New York lawsuit would help me, not one answered an email. It is ironic then that they have complained that the US Department of Justice had refused to disclose materials that would help them with their lawsuit. What comes around goes around.
I remind the reader that Truss and Thomas ran a paedophile normalization programme that failed miserably and led to the abuse, rape and murder of children. Kernaghan never reproached either for that. Well he wouldn’t would he?
In April 2015, the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company, an underground safe deposit facility in London’s Hatton Garden area, was burgled. The total stolen may have a value of up to £200 million,[1][2][3] the incident has been called the “largest burglary in English legal history.”
The heist was planned and carried out by four elderly men who were experienced thieves, all of whom pleaded guilty and received prison sentences in March 2016.[4][5] Four other men were also tried on suspicion of involvement; three were found guilty and sent to prison, while the fourth was cleared.[6]

Appears to be involved (with Lauder-Frost) in Manorial Society, War and Peace Ball and Monarchist Society.
Western Goals
Western Goals (UK) was the British branch of the American Conservative organisation, the Western Goals Foundation.
During its career, Western Goals had links to and supported the Contra rebels in Nicaragua, acting as a conduit for Oliver North’s funding of them according to a report of the Tower Commission. Its British subsidiary had links with the World Anti-Communist League, the British Anti-Communist League, the American Conservative groups the Conservative Action Foundation (CAF), the Committee to Defend the Constitution (CDC) as well as CAUSA, a front organisation for the Moonies, which supplied funds to the CAF. It also had links to the pro-Apartheid South African Conservative party, and also supported the Neo-Nazi German Republican Party and the French Front National, as well as El Salvador’s ruling Arena Party. There was also contact with the BNP, the League of St. George and David Irving’s Focus Group.
Western Goals (UK) parent organisation, the Western Goals Foundation, was set up in America in 1979 by Larry McDonald, an extreme Right-wing Georgia congressman with support from General John Singlaub. It was chaired by Linda Guell with Carl ‘Spitz’ Channell as its president. Western Goals (UK) was launched six years later May 1985, when Linda Guell visited Britain. By this time Western Goals also had a branch in Germany, and had run a series of TV adverts supporting the Contras. Both McDonald and Singlaub were linked to the Conservative Action Group, and Singlaub also had ties to the World Anti-Communist League.
Western Goals (UK) first director was the Young Conservative, Paul Masson. It also had a parliamentary advisor board, whose membership included the Rev. Martin Smyth, Patrick Wall, Nicholas Winterton, Neil Hamilton, Bill Walker and Stefan Terlezki, a former MP. Patrick Wall was also president of the British Anti-Communist Council, which was at the time a branch of the World Anti-Communist League. Peter Dally, another leading figure of BACC, was also president at the launch of Western Goals (UK). Terlezki was also a leading member in the British section of the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (ABN). In March 1986 the anti-Fascist magazine, Searchlight, reported that Paul Masson had become a member of the ABN’s International Youth Committee, and that a delegation had been sent to them by the Young Monday Club consisting of Masson, David Neil-Smith, A.V.R. Smith and Adrian Lee.
‘Spitz’ Channell and Tax Fraud
In late 1986 Western Goals (UK) split with its American parent. This was partly due to the scandal over the Tower Reports finding of its funding of the Contras. More importantly, ‘Spitz’ Channell had admitted tax fraud. Western Goals (UK) therefore separated from the Western Goals Foundation, which was effectively wound up and absorbed into the Larry McDonald Trust. The split was, however, a difference without distinction, as the supposedly independent Western Goals (UK) still retained links to the Larry McDonald Trust.
Attacks on ‘Left-wing’ Charities
In 1986 and 1987 Western Goals played a leading role, with other Right-wing organisations such as the anti-trade union Economic League, in attacking the charities Oxfam, Cafod and War on Want.They also produced a report attacking Christian Aid. In October the same year Western Goals (UK) also held a fringe meeting at the Conservative Party conference attacking the charities under the title ‘Alms for the Poor or Arms for Communism?’. In 1989 they sent a report on the above charities involved in Central America Week to the Charities’ Commission. The report was produced by Michael McCrone and Gideon Sherman, the childhood friend of the Right-wing blogger, ‘Guido Fawkes’.
Opposition to War Crimes Trials in Britain
In February 1989 Western Goals issued a press release criticising the proposal to allow war crimes’ trials in Britain. They condemned such trials as a ‘Communist disinformation ploy’. The statement was issued on notepaper listing the names of their vice-presidents, one of whom was the Unionist MP, the Rev. Martin Smyth. Smyth then resigned, as he had actively campaigned for the trial of Nazi war criminals.
Derby-Lewis and British Conservatives
When Derby-Lewis again visited Britain the following year, 1990, A.V.R. Smith arranged for him to attend WACL’s 22nd conference in Brussels as a Western Goals Institute delegate. Western Goals (UK) also claimed that he had met leading members of the Conservative party such as Lord Hailsham, the tennis player and Buster Motram, who had formerly supported the NF. They also claimed that he had addressed a meeting of the House of Lords Monday Club under Lord Sudely and a banquet of the South West Essex Monday Club, attended by Teresa Gorman, Teddy Taylor and Tim Janman. His speech at the banquet was praised for its ‘robust defence of European values and civilisation in Southern Africa’. He was also a guest at a ‘select’ dinner in Whitehall for Conservative MPs, Conservative candidates, councillors and party officials.
Oliver North was instrumental in secretly selling arms to Iran following the 1979 revolution, despite an embargo, and then using the profits to supply weapons to the right-wing Contra rebels in Nicaragua, even though Congress had forbidden military support
I’m trying to get this straight in my mind: The criminal Jonathan Denby had links to the Iranians. His close friend Bee Carthew writes to Enoch Powell about paying her attention to Weinberger and North. Now we learn that North was sanction busting.
Now why does Powell mate Carthew mention Oliver North and Weinberger? Did Proctor and Denby do business with them?
Lord Lexden Tory Party Historian named as a pedophile in Scallywag
In 1994, issue 24, a magazine called Scallywag published the following allegation:
― that on 14 November 1992 in Dolphin Square, Alistair Cooke (Lord Lexden) had taken active part in a ‘paedophile party’ that took place in the apartment of Robert Banks MP.
The magazine reported that Alistair Cooke was positively identified by Robert Banks’ researcher, Anthony Lillis, who was at the scene and who later became a whistleblower of sorts.
It was suggested that some or all of the “young boys” abused (some possibly aged just 14) were highly vulnerable residents or former residents of the ‘Bryn Alyn Community’ children’s homes in North Wales.
Boys whom John Allen, in conjunction with other paedophile ‘fixers’ in Westminster, had allegedly frightened or cajoled into prostitution/child prostitution.

Lord Lexden – honorary patron of Council of British International Schools COBIS
A letter written concerning Lexden’s role as patron:
….In light of COBIS’ special association with Lord Lexden (formerly Alistair Cooke), the CEO, Board, Honorary Vice-Presidents and Honorary Members of your organisation will wish urgently to make inquiries with a view to establishing:
Whether your Honorary Vice Patron, Lord Lexden,featured in police inquiries (whether at the time or more recently) related to alleged child sexual abuse or child trafficking?
Whether your Honorary Vice Patron, as a senior official at the heart of the Conservative Party in Westminster at the time, was aware of the alleged ‘Boys for Questions’ operations encircling Parliament?
Whether your Honorary Vice Patron was ever the subject of arrest or police caution?
(If yes to any of the above) How in the world did Lord Lexden OBE come to be an honorary patron of COBIS notwithstanding your safeguarding procedures and child protection duties, and what will be done about it?
Again, there is no suggestion by me that your Honorary Vice President, Lord Lexden is guilty of any wrongdoing. I simply wish to know, from a child protection standpoint, what the facts are.
I look forward to receiving a timely response to my concerns and questions from the CEO, Board, Honorary Vice-Presidents and Honorary Members of the Council of British International Schools.
The discussion was set to focus on abuse alleged to have taken place in the distant past, or ‘historic abuse’ as some Lords continue to call it, however Researching Reform refuses to use this term as we are aware that survivors and victims of child sexual abuse find it particularly upsetting and not reflective of the day to day reality of living with abuse long after it has happened.
On February 19 The Times reported that Ted Heath’s private papers, now in the Bodleian Library Oxford, had been impounded by the police who plan to go through them to establish whether they contain evidence that the former Tory leader was involved in child sex abuse.
Alistair Lexden commented on this extraordinary development in a letter published in The Times on February 20.
Sir, The voluminous Heath papers, bought by the Bodleian Library for a vast sum, are in a mess and need cataloguing (article and leader, Feb.19). The police would do a great service to scholarship if, instead of paying bobbies to become researchers, they gave the money to the Bodleian’s trained archivists who could read every document for signs of sexual depravity and sort out this major archive at the same time. That would salvage something worthwhile from this otherwise ludicrous enterprise.

Keith Vaz has since advanced to King of Sleaze, was caught red-handed with Romanian rentboys and is under investigation for sex abuse.
Ashby helped fund Proctor’s shirt shop and shared a bed Hague-style with a male doc in France.
Carlile was frequent visitor to highly questionable Manorial Society and has been hired to whitewash Bishop Bell.

Here’s the ‘Janner’ debate in Westminster from 1991 that @ciabaudo refers to. Keith Vaz refers to Janner as a great survivor! Carlile (Bell Report) also contributes whilst Patrick Cormack now Lord Cormack is a named supporter of the George Bell Group
I knew there was a reason why the Lib Dems might have wanted to part company with Carlile. How can he be impartial on Bishop Bell?
Not an impartial person to write a Report on Bishop Bell. I was impressed with Martin Warner’s response (current Bishop of Chichester) to being grilled this morning about Bishop Bell: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09jbrvn#play… Piece on Bell at start

Why do the Tories bankroll Proctor? His shop only existed because half the Tory party funded it. Which also begs the question: how can Proctor claim to have been a ‘loner’ in Westminster?
Bite Back Publishing, who published Proctor’s book ‘Incredible and Untrue’, owned by Dale AND Ashcroft. A very Tory affair.
Remember, @theresa_may is in hock to @LordAshcroft. He’s the biggest ever donor to the Conservative party – including £500k last year. And he’s defending Banks & Wigmore. But read the @nymag piece, this really isn’t hard. It’s collusion. And the silence at this point is deafening

TIA SHARP – PEDOPHILE RING
On 10 August 2012, 12-year-old girl Tia Sharp was found dead at a house in New Addington, in Greater London.
In August 2006, it was reported that more than a dozen children may have been raped and abused at a house in New Addington in Greater London.
The house, 107 Walton Green, was occupied by convicted paedophile Leslie Ford-Thrussell.
Police “believe the property was the base for a child abuse ring for 40 years.”
The Sun reported that Ford-Thrussell ran a paedophile ring from the semi-detached property with two other men, said to be Stephen Dedman and a man who cannot be named.
Stacey Dedman, 19, revealed four years of abuse in the house; Stacey was seven when the abuse first started.
She has said: “I really believe there are bodies in the garden.”
On 10 August, ‘the Police discovered Tia’s dead body in the loft of the grandmother’s house, after they had searched the loft for the fourth time.’[4][12]
The police arrested Stuart Hazell, a former boyfriend of Tia’s mother.
In May 2013, Hazell changed his plea from not guilty to guilty and he was sent to jail.
“Tia Sharp was ritually murdered on or about the 8th August 2012, the final night of Lammas.”
“Stuart’s legal representative has been announced, Lord Alex Carlile of Berriew, CBE, QC will be defending him. This guy normally charges £900 a day, but will be defending Stuart on legal aid.”
“I ran up to the Old Bailey the moment I heard that Hazell was switching his plea to guilty on Day 6 of the trial (Monday morning).
“The were just about to begin giving the forensics evidence, which would have exonerated him.
“Hazell is accused of committing a mad impulsive child sex murder, but Tia had not been sexually assaulted and his DNA was nowhere on (or in) her body.
“He loved that little girl. And she loved him even more…
“Tia died in an ancient woodland owned by the Corporation of London (The Guildhall) on the 10th Anniversary of the Double Event at Soham (those girls also died at midnight in ancient woodland.)”
40 years? A dozen victims? They searched a loft four times before they found a body?
This beggars belief. Shades of the inept-to-the-point-of-impossible behaviour of the police in Belgium when they kept failing to find anything in Dutroux’s cellar.
What bullshit. Such longevity of crime can only take place with official approval / complicity / aegis.
She wasn’t killed in the house, she was killed in the Woods 200 m to the East and planted there
… the Judge in the case was the same judge in the Met/Tomlinson unlawful killing trial and the same judge that made the (lack of) fingerprint evidence in the Dr David Kelly murder case go away.
Trying the case in the eye of the storm of British freemasonry, Court Number 1 of the Old Bailey.
And not Surrey or Southwark Crown Court,a s you might normally except….
Keith Vaz, also a frequent visitor to 104 Kennington, was also one of those in HoC who welcomed Janner back with open arms.

2014 Manorial Society Event
The Reign of King George II, 1727-1760 Foundation of the World’s first Superpower
by Jeremy Black
Foreword by HRH The Duke of York KG
Published by Smith’s Peerage Limited, a Company Registered in England and Wales No 02659551 for the Manorial Society of Great Britain
A Reception to launch the book was held on 10 April 2014 in the State Apartments of St James’s Palace in the presence of The Duke of York

Elizabeth Butler-Sloss
3 months after this event, she was appointed head of the IICSA
Baroness Butler-Sloss, a former senior judge, was appointed in July 2014 to lead an inquiry into allegations of historical child abuse but stood down before the inquiry started.
Her late brother, Lord Havers, had been attorney general in Margaret Thatcher’s government in the 1980s – leading some MPs to question whether she was the right person to investigate allegations of paedophilia from that time.
Downing Street said her withdrawal on 14 July – seven days after being announced as head of the inquiry – was “entirely her decision”.
Given her keen interest in the Cleveland scandal and @InquiryCSA , I find Barara Hewson’s closeness to the Havers quite intriguing…
The 3 Hs: Havers, Hetherington and Hayman. So was Hetherington a paedo, too?
Westminster child abuse exclusive: Geoffrey Dickens also gave copy of file to top prosecutor Sir Thomas Hetherington – so why did DPP also fail to act on evidence of paedophile ring?
One of several parliamentary trips to South Africa organised by Atkinson and Laud – all expenses paid, of course – took place in 1989 and included David Cameron, then an employee of Conservative Central Office, now Prime Minster.
When Cameron’s participation in this apartheid freebie was first publicised in 2009, Alistair Cooke (now Lord Lexden), Cameron’s boss at Central Office at the time, defended it as “simply a jolly. It was all terribly relaxed, just a little treat, a perk of the job. The Botha regime was attempting to make itself look less horrible, but I don’t regard it as having been of the faintest political consequence.”
Carlton Club members revolt as former royal aide, Major Simon Robinson, takes charge
Major Simon Robinson (2nd from left) with The Queen at the Windsor Horse Show in 2007
Robinson, who used to be commanding officer of the King’s Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, was one of the few aides permitted to telephone the Queen directly.
If he still has her number, will he invite Her Majesty for tea at the Carlton ?
Carlton Club members revolt as former royal aide takes charge
As the Crown Equerry, Major Simon Robinson was one of the Queen’s most trusted and favoured aides.
The Queen called regularly for tea at Robinson’s three-storey grace-and-favour house in the grounds of Buckingham Palace.
But then in March 2011, Major Robinson quit Buckingham Palace under something of a cloud, having split from his wife amid allegations, strongly denied, of an affair.
Now five years on, feathers appear to have been ruffled in his new post as secretary of the Carlton Club, the 184-year-old home to the Conservative Party establishment.
In the vitriolic letter, on Carlton Club headed notepaper, the dissenters wrote: “We are calling ourselves The Disgruntled Members of Carlton Club (TDMCC) and hereby would like to anonymously announce that we are not happy with the recent appointment of Major Simon Robinson to be heading this prestigious members’ club.”
It accuses Major Robinson of being of “ill repute”. The letter then lists the concerns with Major Robinson, including his departure from Buckingham Palace and the suitability for his new job given his subsequent roles – and finally calls on Lord Strathclyde to quit as chairman.
Lord Lexden, a historian who has written the definitive history of the Carlton Club, said: “Unity is the normal characteristic at the Carlton Club, not factionalism. I am aware of but surprised to hear these rumblings and find them difficult to understand.”
Those who complain about Major Robinson claim concern over his past, including the circumstances in which he left the Royal household.
They have even delved into a succession of jobs he has held since stepping down as Crown Equerry, suggesting his previous roles as director of public affairs for a company based in Bermuda, executive of a Chinese equestrian consultancy (Equex) and latterly as chief executive of a Russian-owned private members’ club in Mayfair (12 Hay Hill Club) are not sufficient to take on the role of secretary of the Carlton Club.

Equex’s UK operation is headed by Simon Robinson, who previously served as crown equerry, responsible for the queen’s equestrian interests at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Royal Stud at Hampton Court.
Major Robinson also formed his own private company called Major Simon Robinson Limited, which he registered at Companies House in November 2010 but which he wound up less than a year later.

New opening: The 12 Hay Hill club
An exclusive business and private members club offering £6,000-a-month serviced desk space and a restaurant run by a Michelin-starred chef is to open in Mayfair
The 12 Hay Hill club, which overlooks Berkeley Square, will be run by Crown Equerry and royal wedding planner Simon Robinson. Organisers say it will offer London’s “business elite” the ability to “work and play under one roof”.
Friends from their time in military service, they often team up on jobs and pool their extensive contact networks.I meet them in the smart but serious London members’ club 12 Hay Hill, their preferred venue for client meetings. Sharply dressed in Savile Row suits, they have impeccable credentials: Mann (whose father is Old Etonian mercenary Simon Mann, who spent five years in prisons in Zimbabwe and Equatorial Guinea for his role in a failed coup in the latter) attended Stowe and Bristol before joining the Blues and Royals and serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Glancy was sponsored through Oxford by the Royal Marines and served with them for 10 years, receiving the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross in 2013 for undisclosed operations. When he and Mann left the armed forces, the obvious next step was to set up their own risk-management firms, using their expertise and connections to provide protection for anyone who needs it – and can afford it. Prices for bodyguards start at £400 per day and go up into the thousands.
Major Simon Robinson lost his coveted ‘job for life’ as Crown Equerry amid rumours of an extra-marital affair which he continues to deny furiously.
His wife has walked out on him with their two children and started divorce proceedings.
In a move which prompted claims of a cover-up, the suave 44-year-old major was handed a new role in the office which is drawing up plans for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
He delighted in inviting her and Prince Philip for tea at his three-storey house in the grounds of Buckingham Palace.
He was one of only a handful of staff who were able to phone her directly. He was also close to the Duke of Edinburgh, and the pair would go shooting together.
Allegations of misbehaviour first surfaced in 2009, but it was not until October 2010
In July that year he was allegedly offered a pay-off equivalent to a year’s salary of between £60,000 and £80,000, and told to depart by December 31.
But the Queen, who was kept closely informed about the matter, is understood to have intervened.
The major was temporarily allowed to keep his grand house just inside the gates of the Royal Mews, where he paid a subsidised rent, and continued to work while challenging the decision.
His responsibilities were gradually reduced but it was not until October 2010 that he left his job,moving to the post of Assistant Comptroller in the Lord Chamberlain’s Office.
This comes with new accommodation at Kensington Palace, Princess Diana’s former home, until he leaves in March.
Mrs Robinson, who works for a children’s charity, declined to comment when approached by the Mail.
He is very close to the Queen – he loves her and she thinks the world of him.’
A Royal Household insider said: ‘The palace is supposed to be saving money, but they have moved a senior member of the Royal Household sideways into another job and taxpayers are paying about £80,000 a year. Why would they be wanting to cover this up?’

Church of England colluded with bishop who abused boys, says Welby
Report about bishop Peter Ball, finding collusion over 20 years, is ‘harrowing reading’
Collusion: Secret or illegal cooperation or conspiracy
Senior figures in the Church of England colluded for a period of 20 years with a disgraced former bishop who sexually abused boys and men, a damning independent report has found.
The archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, said the report on the church’s handling of former bishop Peter Ball made “harrowing reading”.
“The church colluded and concealed rather than seeking to help those who were brave enough to come forward. This is inexcusable and shocking behaviour,” he said.
“To the survivors who were brave enough to share their story and bring Peter Ball to justice, I once again offer an unreserved apology. There are no excuses whatsoever for what took place and the systemic abuse of trust perpetrated by Peter Ball over decades.”
Two former archbishops of Canterbury, George Carey and Rowan Williams, apologised to the victims of Peter Ball after being criticised for their failures in relation to him.
Ball, the former bishop of both Gloucester and Lewes, was jailed in October 2015 for the grooming, sexual exploitation and abuse of 18 vulnerable young men aged 17-25 who had sought spiritual guidance from him between 1977 and 1992. He was released from prison in February after serving 16 months.
His trial heard that after Ball was first accused in 1993, a string of senior establishment figures – including Carey, an unidentified member of the royal family, cabinet ministers and a high court judge – came forward in his support, writing letters to the police and Crown Prosecution Service.
Ball was cautioned by police. He resigned his post as bishop and retired to a rented cottage on the Prince of Wales’s Duchy of Cornwall estate butcontinued to officiate in 17 public schools until 2007. A fresh investigation was opened in 2012 which led to his conviction.
One of Ball’s victims, Neil Todd – the first to come forward with allegations of abuse – attempted suicide three times before killing himself in 2012.
Welby ordered an independent review of the church’s handling of the case, chaired by Dame Moira Gibb, former chief executive of Camden council.
The report said Ball’s case was dealt with at the highest levels within the church. He “was seen by the church as the man in trouble who the church needed to help”.
Ball was portrayed as a victim, and the review found “little evidence of compassion for Neil Todd even though from the outset it was clear that he was a vulnerable young man who had come to harm”.
It added: “The church appears to have been most interested in protecting itself.”
In the foreword to her report, An Abuse of Faith, published on Thursday, Gibb said the serious sexual wrongdoing of Ball “is shocking in itself but is compounded by the failure of the church to respond appropriately to his misconduct, again over a period of many years”.
“Ball’s priority was to protect and promote himself and he maligned the abused. The church colluded. The church colluded with that rather than seeking to help those he had harmed, or assuring itself of the safety of others.”
The report added, “progress has been slow and continuing, faster improvement is still required”.
Gibb made 11 recommendations in her report, including improving support to survivors of clerical abuse and taking steps to “demonstrate the individual and collective accountability of bishops”.
Peter Hancock, the C of E’s lead safeguarding bishop, who received the report on behalf of the church, said it had failed Ball’s survivors. “Having read the report I am appalled and disturbed by its contents … As a church we colluded, we failed to act and protect those who came forward for help. There are no excuses. We accept all the recommendations and are working to action them.”
Rowan Williams: ‘It is clear I did not give adequate priority to sorting out the concerns and allegations surrounding Peter Ball.’
He added: “For the survivors, it may feel this is all too late.”
According to the report, Ball intimated “on many occasions, to Lord Carey and others, that he enjoys the status of confidant of the Prince of Wales” and “sought to exploit his contact with members of the royal family in order to bolster his position”.

However, Dame Moira Gibb’s report went on, it “found no evidence that the Prince of Wales or any other member of the royal family sought to intervene at any point in order to protect or promote Ball”.
Carey was criticised in the report, which said he “set the tone for the church’s response to Ball’s crimes and gave the steer which allowed Ball’s assertions that he was innocent to gain credence”.
In a statement responding to the report, Carey said it made “uncomfortable reading” and he accepted its criticisms of him. “I apologise to the victims of Peter Ball. I believed Peter Ball’s protestations and gave too little credence to the vulnerable young men and boys behind those allegations.”
Carey said he regretted not putting Ball’s name on the Lambeth List – names of people whose suitability for ministry is under question – after he was cautioned.
Under the leadership of Williams, the church began reviewing past cases, a move which ultimately led to the criminal case against Ball being reopened, the report said. However, he was criticised as being “lamentably slow” in making change.
In a statement, Williams said: “Having read the report and reflected on its details, it is clear I did not give adequate priority to sorting out the concerns and allegations surrounding Peter Ball at the earliest opportunity. I recognise such a delay is likely to have increased the pressure and distress experienced by the survivors of his abuse and I am sincerely sorry for this.”

Bonner Pink and Emery-Wallis were on the Council Childrens Committee and the Finance and General Purposes Committee together. Mr and Mrs Prosser were appointed to the posts of Warden and Matron of the Reception Centre by the Council.
Bonner Pink is named by his adopted daughter as a child abuser. Emery Wallis was convicted of 5 counts of indecent assault dating back to the 1960s and 1970s and Peter Prosser has been the subject of 3 child abuse investigations in 1961, 2006 and 2008, and one since? Prosser has been the subject of 3 police investigations in 1961, 2006, 2008.
Gwendoline Round and Francis John Bone were also convicted of indecent assault and indecent behaviour respectively. Mr Brackstone, a childrens home houseparent was investigated by the Home Office for getting a 14 year old pregnant and running away with her.
All of these child abusers were councillors or employed by Portsmouth City Council.
Prosser bought an old RAF club in Wales as a childrens home and subsequently sold it to Portsmouth City Council. Bonner-Pink and Emery-Wallis were on the Finance and General Purposes Committee which enabled them to ensure this property was bought by the Council.
Rita Pink, Bonner’s wife, was the local chairperson for the NSPCC
Stevens book Heartless is of increasing significance, because it was published way before the mass of information about child sexual abuse came out, it has links to MPs and prominent people, it names names, it deals with Broadmoor and Rampton from the point of view of an “inmate” of which little is known and it also details drugs used in drug abuse on children which I think will become a more important issue as the links of the phamaceutical industry to child abuse become more widely known. For misuse of drugs on children see also Teresa Coopers book Trust No Oneand description [15] on [2]

Alistair Lexden is the Conservative Party’s historian. He was political adviser to Airey Neave from 1977 to 1979 and regularly discussed Ulster politics with Ian Gow (over the inevitable White Lady cocktails) in the years that followed
…Father Michael Seed, Tony Blair’s priest who was up to no good with Archbishop Eugenio Sbarbaro (Aside from his time in the Washington Embassy and Tax Havens of the Carribean, Sbarbaro knighted Nadhmi Auchi):
In November 2008, a London-based friar of the Franciscans of the Atonement, Fr. Michael Seed, using “American corporate strategist” Kalman Sporn as a go-between, approached Israeli arms dealer, Hezi Bezalel, promising Bezalel that he could arrange introductions to “influential Balkan politicians” including “the man who looks after all arms for the region.” Seed said this arms trader was a friend of Archbishop Eugenio Sbarbaro, the papal nuncio to Belgrade, who would handle the introductions. The cost to Bezalel would be a contribution to Sbarbaro’s charity.
Fr. Seed met Archbishop Sbarbaro while Seed was a student in the early 1980s at the Catholic University of America located in Washington D.C. and Sbarbaro was the charge d’affaires at the Vatican embassy. Seed is currently honorary chaplain to the International Committee on Human Dignity based at the European Parliament in Brussels.
In January 2011, the archbishop flew to London to help Seed celebrate the 25th anniversary of his ordination. Party guests included “millionaire benefactors who had flown in by private jet.” Seed said he lives for free in a London flat owned by Gregory King, a Scottish corporate money lender whose fortune is estimated at £200 million.
The Mail noted that Seed, “who regularly celebrated Mass for Tony Blair [recent Catholic convert and Bush ally in invading Iraq],” has many well-connected friends. Among them is Xuelin Black, a Chinese national “developing business and political interests” in London and also an advisor to Lord Wei, appointed by who Tory Prime Minister Cameron as head of the British equivalent of the U.S. Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Black accepted a check from Seed for £34,000 drawn from his religious order’s charity bank account and later deposited the money into Seed’s personal account.

The only remarkable part of the above news article that a priest with rich friends and Tory connections, along with a papal nuncio, would be involved in an attempted arms trade in a politically unstable part of the world is that it was found out and reported. History tells us that cooperation among Catholic officials, big money and rightwing politicos has produced not only scandals but the deaths of millions.

Queen Elizabeth turns out to be quite a fan of father Seed, making beelines for him through crowded receptions in order to share her thoughts with him about such matters as his converting so many of her clergy to the Roman faith.
We find Fr Seed rubbing shoulders with a dazzling range of celebs –

The UK police, authorities and MSM (media) should really be putting these reports together. However, seeing as though these same bodies are also CRIMINALS (and gatekeepers to the paedo elite), we shouldn’t expect them to start anytime soon.
Time to unveil the UK for what it really is – an establishment/elite paedophile factory, posing as a nation:
New search for remains of schoolgirl Moira Anderson to begin – 60 years after she disappeared
19th February 2017
Specialists will search Monkland Canal in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire in attempt to solve one of the longest-running mysteries in Scottish criminal history
A NEW search for the remains of schoolgirl Moira Anderson will start next month – 60 years after she went missing.
Forensic specialists from across Europe will begin the search at a Lanarkshire canal in the hopes that they can solve one of the longest-running mysteries in Scottish criminal history.
The new search is expected to take place across two weeks at a site near Monkland Canal in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire.
Moira’s eldest sister Janet Hart will return to Scotland from Australia for the first time in two decades to make a visit to the site on the 60th anniversary of her sister’s disappearance.
Moira was 11 years old when she went missing after she left her grandmother’s home in Coatbridge to run an errand at the shops in blizzard conditions.
It has been long believed that convicted paedophile Alexander Gartshore murdered 11-year-old Moira. He was the last person to see her in 1957.
Cops were never able to pin the murder on the child rapist, who died a free man in 2006 aged 85.
But prosecutors now believe that they have enough evidence to bring a case against him in court – if he was alive.
The police chief leading the hunt, Detective Superintendent Pat Campbell, said: “We want to find Moira and bring her back.
“We’ve already had a site visit and a meeting where we had 18 experts from various authorities across Europe, many of whom were there of their own accord, such is the interest in trying to find Moira.
“The investigating team will use sonar and ground-penetrating radar as well as magnetometry, where magnetic properties of soil can be measured and mapped.”
The team will include Professor Sue Black from Dundee University who was previously involved in the exhuming of Old Monkland Cemetery in 2013 as well as a number of specialists from the James Hutton Institute in Aberdeen and Queen’s University in Belfast.
DS Campbell said: “We feel it’s proportionate to search there.
“Of course, it’s extremely challenging to find remains of a child in water after 60 years and if we do search we need to know we can find something.
“Would the body have degraded to such an extent there is nothing left? Specialists tell us there would still be skeletal remains.”
He added: “Due to technology, we can carry out lots of non-invasive searches for anomalies, too.
“We are 60 years down the line, people are getting on, and that’s a challenge.
“I remain convinced there is someone out there who has information they haven’t shared. We want to bring closure to this.”
This will be sister Janet’s first return home in 16 years, but she has never been far from the story.
Janet – who named her daughter Moira – said: “I still think of her every day.
“I pray each night that she’s found and I still have nightmares, although not so often now.
“It’s something I have to do. All we want is closure.”
The sister of Moira Anderson, the schoolgirl who went missing in 1957, said she was sexually assaulted by the man suspected of her sister’s murder.
Janet Hart told BBC Scotland that Alexander Gartshore, who died in 2006, attacked her two years after her 11-year-old sister vanished in Coatbridge.
She said police spoke to her after the incident, but nothing more was done.
Ms Hart now lives in Australia, and has come to Scotland to mark the 60th anniversary since Moira disappeared.
She told BBC Scotland she was out during her lunch hour from school when a man called her over to his car.
“He had the bonnet up at the side,” she said.
“He told me to hold his dipstick, and under he went and up – groping me.
“I dropped the dipstick and ran.”
She said she turned back to note down his registration plate.
Two policewomen came to the school and spoke to Ms Hart, but she said “nothing more was heard”.
“Wouldn’t you think something would have happened then?” she said.
Afterwards, the school rector spoke to pupils and advised them to go around the community in pairs, she said.
“That was Alexander Gartshore, I identified him, I remembered him so clearly,” she said.
“Luckily I was in an area I could get away – it was broad daylight.
“Unfortunately Moira was trapped on his bus.”
The last time Moira was seen, she was boarding a local Baxter’s bus. But detectives appear to have failed to follow it up properly at the time.
Had they done so, they would have discovered that the bus driver was Alexander Gartshore, who was on bail at the time facing charges of raping his children’s babysitter.
Later that year, he was convicted and sentenced to 18 months in prison for the rape of the babysitter.
Cops probe sex beasts in the town where she vanished
COPS hunting schoolgirl Moira Anderson’s body are probing claims a child sex ring operated in the town where she vanished.
Detectives are pursuing links between the 11-year-old’s suspected killer Alexander Gartshore and other paedophiles in Coatbridge, Lanarkshire.
It is hoped the new clues could lead to the remains of Moira being found 56 years after her slaying.
DCI Pat Campbell said: “There are allegations about Gartshore and other children, and about his friends and associates being involved in similar behaviour.”
Campaigner Sandra Brown — who accused her dad Gartshore of Moira’s murder before his death in 2006 — said: “I’ve no doubt there was an organised paedophile ring in Coatbridge possibly revolving around the bus depot where he worked.”
A grave was exhumed in the town three months ago in a vain bid to find Moira’s body.
23 April 2006.A SECRET dossier said to identify members of a paedophile ring could be published within weeks, after the intervention of the Scottish information commissioner.Kevin Dunion has been asked by the family of Moira Anderson, a schoolgirl who disappeared almost 50 years ago, to review a decision by Strathclyde police not to release the document that may identify her abductors.The 11-year-old was last seen boarding a bus in Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, in 1957 during a heavy snowstorm. She was on her way to the shops to buy a box of chocolates for her mother’s birthday.The dossier, written by James Gallogley, a convicted paedophile who died in Peterhead prison in 1999, is said to implicate senior public figures in the abuse of children in Strathclyde during the 1950s and 1960s.
It is also believed to list vehicles and safe houses used in Glasgow, Monklands and Paisley where children were hidden before being taken to sex parties.Strathclyde’s chief constable has refused to release the document, saying its publication could destroy any chance of solving the case.However, relatives argue it could help to identify those responsible for Anderson’s abduction and recover her remains.Her sister Janet, 63, who lives in Australia, has appealed to the information commissioner to order its release. A decision is expected in the next few weeks.Her call is backed by Sandra Brown, the founder of the Moira Anderson Foundation, who believes her late father, Alex Gartshore, was responsible for the crime.In an interview with The Sunday Times this weekend, Brown said her father, a former bus driver and convicted sex offender from Coatbridge, was part of a paedophile ring whose members she will recognise when she sees Gallogley’s dossier.
She said that Gartshore and Gallogley, who were friends, lived close to Fred West, the notorious serial killer, in Coatbridge during the early 1960s. Both Gartshore and West moved out of the area in late 1965.However, Gartshore, who was on bail accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl at the time of Anderson’s disappearance, denied any involvement in the crime. He died earlier this month at the age of 85.
According to Brown, who has spoken to former police officers involved in the investigation, Gallogley’s dossier describes how “wee Moira” was subdued with chloroform, abused by Gartshore and “one other” and placed in the boot of Gartshore’s bus.
It claims her body was dumped in the Tarry Burn in Coatbridge, an area that has never been thoroughly searched.
The dossier was handed to police by a former cell mate four years after Gallogley’s death. It prompted a review of Anderson’s disappearance but failed to throw up any meaningful leads.
“Pressure needs to be brought to bear on Strathclyde police,” said Brown.
“Who is being protected and why is there a problem with transparency? I understand Gallogley’s dossier reveals names in his confession. It indicates Moira was not the sole victim of this ring and gives details of parties where children were abused.
“Those named could help lead us to Moira’s remains. There’s unwillingness by officers to share information.”
However, Strathclyde police said inquiries were ongoing. “We regularly review any investigations and the disappearance of Moira Anderson is no exception,” said a spokesman. “Any new evidence and information will be the subject of further investigation in an effort to resolve her disappearance, ” said a spokesman.
Documents relating to the disappearance of a schoolgirl nearly 50 years ago will not be released following a decision by the Scottish Freedom of Information Commissioner.
Mr Dunion’s decision states: “I know that my refusal to accede to this request will be very disappointing to family members and to friends who, understandably, are desperate to solve the mystery of Moira Anderson’s disappearance.
“However, that would not justify setting aside the privacy to which those making statements to the police are entitled to expect. Nor can I justify the real damage to the integrity of conducting police investigations which would entail.”
Janet Bates, 62, said yesterday her late husband Terry Crick was racked with guilt when police took no action against West who went on to kill at least 12 people.
She believes his death was due to a campaign by West Mercia and Gloucestershire Police, who she claims failed to act because West was a police informant and officers used the brothel at their home.
Her late husband had reported West in 1970 after he showed him gruesome images of body parts and surgical instruments, which West said he used for illegal abortions.
She said: “Terry had been shown disturbing images and went straight to the police but when they didn’t do anything he felt responsible.
The late father-of-two apparently reported West again when he saw his face on the front of a newspaper in the early 1990s. West and his wife and Rose were finally apprehended and charged in 1994. West committed suicide in 1995 before going to trial.
Rose was convicted of 10 murders in 1995 and is serving life in jail. Many of the murders occurred from 1973 to 1979 in the Wests’ home in Gloucester.
Ms Bates said: “Terry asked how many girls could he have saved if they had listened to him?
She alerted the Independent Police Complaints Commission in May this year claiming her late husband was “bullied and harassed” as part of a cover-up by officers’ involved with the Wests. The allegations are still under investigation.
She said yesterday: “We believe Terry is dead because of the way senior police misused their powers. I did not pursue it as I was afraid that what happened to Terry would happen to me.
“I had two young children at the time but now they are older and they want this mistake acknowledged. This is for them.”
He was a witness at the trial of Rose West in 1995
Gloucestershire Police were accused by another woman of using the Wests’ home as a brothel but the claims were dismissed in 1996.
The case has been referred to Dyfed-Powys Police.
Gloucestershire and West Mercia Police refused to comment.
Notorious madam/dominatrix, Cynthia Payne came up to Ann Widdecombe and asked if she was “a friend of Dot”.
Thinking this was a reference to an obscure acquaintance, Ann replied “Of course,” to which Payne said enigmatically, “I thought you were.”
Ann had not realised that “a friend of Dorothy” was code for a lesbian. Later she makes clear that, despite some rumours from gay rights campaigners, she has never had lesbian instincts.
Her only serious romance, as she recounts, was with a male student at Oxford.

The former leader of a pro-paedophile campaign group claims he stored material at the Home Office, according to an account seen by the BBC.
Steven Adrian Smith had clearance to work as an electrical contractor at the Westminster building in the late 1970s and early 1980s when he chaired the Paedophile Information Exchange.
The Home Office declined to comment on Smith, who was jailed in 1991 and 2011.

Dr Ray Wyre
Ray Wyre credited as a child protection expert and a sex crime consultant. He began his current career as a probation officer trained in social work in UK prisons, in his past he trained to become a Baptist Minister. It is during his time at HMS Albany, that Wyre began to branch away from accepted methods for handling those convicted of sex offences.
Ray Wyre, a child protection/ paedophile expert was also involved as an adviser/ pundit in the Madeleine McCann case.
Hers was a high-class establishment. The clients at her afternoon “parties” – as the police found when, just before Christmas in 1978, they kicked her nice front door down—vicars, barristers, bankers, an MP and “a peer of the realm”.

Cole writes some of the most graphic stories of human criminal depravity. Perhaps that is why her books are the most requested from prison libraries.
One of her books, Broken – in which she explored child abuse in a disturbing and authentic way – had been banned from one prison I was in to avoid upsetting inmates who had been abused as children and to deny stimulation to those who were child abusers.
She says she writes in her own genre because she writes crime stories from the point of view of the criminal. “That’s because I knew more about that point of view,” she says, laughing.
The paedophile scandal that we are slowly watching unwind, day by day, over the last couple of months, would seem not to be out of place in a novel written by a crime writer like Martina Cole
What may seem unbelievable we realise now is true, and what once we thought was real, is actually an elaborate fiction.

Tory ‘Lord’ Cormack recently claimed the reputation of Edward Heath has been TRASHED and TRADUCED by investigations into allegations of paedophilia. Let’s have a look at some of the people Cormack associated with as this sheds light and puts this ankle-biter into context.
Lord Cormack was a close friend of Enoch Powell, a paedophile with connections to the Kincora boys home in Belfast. He even spoke at his funeral in 1998 and criticised the CoE for passing the MP’s name to the police.
‘Lord’ Cormack and Enoch Powell were fellow church wardens at St. Margaret’s of Westminster, Parliament’s parish church. Patrick Cormack served there from 1978-90. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk/politics/56914.stm…
Patrick Cormack was the Conservative MP for Cannock, 1970-74. Prior to 1970, Cormack was a member of the Bow Group and the Monday Club, hobnobbing with the likes of Harvey Proctor and Jonathan Denby, both men with convictions and aides to Enoch Powell.
Patrick Cormack’s Cannock seat for the Conservatives was won from Jennie Lee, Nye Bevan’s widow. Jenny Lee was the one who rushed to secure bail for the paedophile Colin Peters when caught ferrying young lads from Naples for the pleasure of Establishment figures on the islands.
It comes as no surprise that Cormack, then MP for Staffordshire South, roundly defended the paedophile Greville Janner, together with the usual crew like the washing machine salesman Keith Vaz and Alex Carlile.
Cormack, again together with a group of very predictable friends, was a named supporter of George Bell, a man of the cloth who faced massive and credible allegations of paedophilia.
Cormack entered Parliament the same day as Greville Janner and remained friends. Both worked together to form the committee for the release of Soviet Jewry. Janner was first secretary and Cormack the first chairman. No wonder he cheered him back!
Patrick Cormack, like fellow Heath defender John Selwyn Gummer, were both members of the Ecclesiastical Committee of Parliament. Consequently, it is only fair to ask him the same questions re. abuse in the CoE I asked in this Gummer thread:
So Cormack was PPS to Keith Joseph while the paedophiles’ friend Barbara Kahan was Joseph’s senior advisor re. children in care, the same Kahan who authored the Pindown report and solicited the views of the serial paedophile Peter Righton.
In fact, members of the Synod on the whole seem to have been a rum and randy bunch. Take Synod member Barnaby Miln, for example, who ran a gay prostitute ring from a flat he shared with the General Secretary of the Church of England, Sir Derek Pattinson.

DETECTIVES investigating child sex abuse claims at the Dolphin Square apartment complex in London have questioned trustees of the block, including a former Lord Mayor of Westminster.
Alan Bradley
Officers from the Metropolitan Police’s Operation Midland have been interviewing residents to see if there is any truth in the rumours of a VIP paedophile ring.
They have visited current and former trustees, including Alan Bradley, who lives in the plush riverside development in Pimlico. He was questioned two months ago.
They asked the former councillor, who retired last May after 36 years, if he was aware of any abuse. Mr Bradley said he had been the target of unsubstantiated rumours that he had attended sex parties in the 1930s block.
He said he knew nothing about paedophile rings and added that the allegations against him “had not one shred of evidence” and were the result of a “vendetta”. He was not arrested and was not interviewed under caution.
Mr Bradley, who held the title Lord Mayor of Westminster in 1995?1996, is also a former vicechairman of the Dolphin Square Trust and is a director of residents’ group Dolphin Square 2005.
Mr Bradley said: “A couple of officers came to see me about the time they were interviewing a few other trustees who have lived here since the 1970s and beyond.
“They were primarily concerned with what I knew, if I’d ever seen or heard anything untoward or was aware of any reports of improper behaviour in my role as a trustee.
“I told them I’d known nothing of that sort of happening here.
“They asked whether I knew of some allegations made about me attending parties. I replied that I did know about the rumours but that there was not one shred of truth in them.
Prince Andrew, seen here with friend, convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein
Prince Andrew’s secret Palace talks with controversial priest, Father Seed, who converted Tony Blair and the Duchess of Kent to Catholicism
It seems unlikely that Andrew, whose mother is Supreme Governor of the Church of England, would consider going over to Rome,so what was Fr Michael doing at the Palace?
‘I really cannot make any comment as I am a priest,’ he tells me.
Adding to the intrigue, the meetings were not recorded in the Court Circular, the official record of royal engagements.
Fr Michael Seed, who is one of Britain’s most prominent Catholic priests, hit the headlines five years ago when he admitted arranging papal knighthoods for wealthy businessmen for money.
Papal knighthoods are awarded to laymen and women for conspicuous service to the Church and society.
They are among the highest honours the Pope can bestow.
Fr Seed... held the party to launch his memoirs, Sinners And Saints: The Irreverent Diaries Of Britain’s Most Controversial Priest, at Stringfellows strip club in Soho. And he marked the 25th anniversary of his ordination with a champagne party at a racy club, with entertainment provided by men dressed as nuns.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman refuses to discuss Andrew’s meetings with Fr Michael.

Tony Blair’s Priest Parties With Transvestite ‘Nuns’
Father Michael, who is the Secretary of Ecumenism of the Archdiocese of Westminster, was personally congratulated by the Prior of the British and Irish Delegation, His Eminence Cormac, Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor, Archbishop of Westminster
He is the best-known Catholic priest in Britain after Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, the former Archbishop of Westminster.
So it was only fitting that Father Michael Seed, 53 — the man who helped convert former Prime Minister Tony Blair to Catholicism — should mark 25 years in the priesthood with a mass at the Church Of The Immaculate Conception in Mayfair earlier this month.
So far, so acceptable. I can reveal, however, that Seed also had a second, rather less devout celebration — a champagne-fuelled party with entertainment provided by transvestites dressed as nuns.
A close friend of Father Seed’s arranged the bash at the Pigalle Club — housed in a pink basement in London’s Piccadilly and known for racy floor shows — to mark the anniversary of the well-connected priest’s ordination into the Franciscan Friars Of The Atonement.
The 200 guests – many of them were fellow clergymen.
Party-goers — who ranged from clerics from the Diocese of Westminster to millionaire benefactors who had flown in for the celebrations by private jet
The 6ft ‘nuns’ proceeded to give what can only be described as a rather unsuitable cabaret act. ‘
Despite all this, Father Seed — who once acted as unofficial chaperone to Blair’s daughter, Kathryn — is currently setting up the Catholic Church’s committee on human dignity.
Why did the CPS abandon investigation into Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor?
19 Mar 2015
As the full scale of the British Establishment’s cover-up of child sex abuse becomes apparent, Alistair McBay argues it is time for the Crown Prosecution Service to make public its reasons for dropping the investigation into Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor 12 years ago.
It’s hard to know where to begin in writing about the issue of child sex abuse in Britain. As Home Secretary Teresa May said earlier this month, the abuse is “woven, covertly, into the fabric of British society”. She warned that “what the country doesn’t yet appreciate is the true scale of that abuse” but might have added “or the scale of the cover-up.”
Retired leader of Roman Catholic church in England and Wales was appointed cardinal by pope in 2001
Tony Blair, who turned to Catholicism in 2007, paid tribute to Murphy-O’Connor. A statement on behalf of Blair and his wife Cherie said: “Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor was a wonderful advertisement for Christianity and the Catholic church.
Justin Welby, the archbishop of Canterbury and head of the Anglican church, paid tribute to the cardinal
In the Vatican, he was a close ally of fellow cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who was elected as Pope Francis in 2013
Soon after succeeding Basil Hume as the Catholic leader in England and Wales, Murphy-O’Connor became embroiled in controversy over his handling in the 1980s of a paedophile priest, Fr Michael Hill, in his previous diocese of Arundel and Brighton.
After receiving a complaint about Hill concerning a minor, Murphy-O’Connor ordered him to undergo counselling, and later appointed him chaplain at Gatwick airport, where he abused again. Hill was jailed for five years in 1997.

‘MP told me to destroy file on Knowl View sex abuse cover-up’ says former aide
Deborah Doyle claims ex-Rochdale MP Liz Lynne told her to bin dossier supplied by whistle-blower – which included allegations Cyril Smith knew about it
I just wanted to know what Mr Carmichael knew as Chief Whip about Cyril Smith. I wondered if Nick Clegg spoke to him about solicitors’ letters he refused to answer, the ones requesting the party’s files on what had gone on. It all happened not that long ago. We wondered if it might have explained that vote in the House of Commons when the Government refused to give whistle blowers that defence.’
When did you first learn about Cyril Smith’s criminal activities as an MP?
When you were chief whip and requests for information from victims were received, were you involved in the decision to not answer the letters?
What files has the party held on Cyril Smith? Where are they now? If they were destroyed, on whose orders?
What advice did you give Nick Clegg on how to handle the situation?
Did David Steel know about the system that was in place that enabled Smith to make one phone call to get out of trouble?
David Steel’s unwillingness to act enabled Smith to continue his activities. Will you disassociate yourself from him?
What practical support will the party offer the people Smith victimised as an MP?
Did Liz Lynne ever tell you about the conversation she had with Martin Digan in 1996? The one she does not remember and is alleged to have burned the files over?
What is the difference between a cover-up and refusing to release the information?

I therefore grew up surrounded by the school. It was my home as well as my school so you will understand that I feel a considerable affection for the place, and indeed for the excellent former Headmaster, John Thorn, a good and wise man who is now in his 90s.
As far as I know I never met Smyth, although in the late 1970s his name was certainly familiar to many people in the school community. Within the college there was an organisation of evangelical Christians called “Christian Forum” with which Smyth was in some way associated, although how formally I have no idea. He was not a teacher at the school, although his name would crop up from time to time. Some of my more evangelically-minded contemporaries used to receive invitations to Sunday lunch at his house. I never received any of this hospitality, if that is the correct term, so I certainly cannot speak to the truth of his “infamous shed” or of the canes with which he is said to have administered savage beatings
Martin Scott, who died aged 76, was for 17 years Second Master of Winchester College.
a Royal Marine Commando
His first job schoolmastering was at Clifton College, where he taught from 1950 to 1962, making lifelong friends among both his colleagues and his pupils. It was here, too, that he met his wife Mary, the elder sister of one of his first pupils.
In 1962 he moved to Winchester, where, as Second Master, he was in charge of the 70 scholars in College
Scott’s features still gaze down on the present generation of scholars in Chamber Court in the shape of a strikingly lifelike stone gargoyle for which he sat as model; it is one of only two created for the college in the last 600 years.
After stepping down as Second Master, he continued to teach at Winchester for several years before retiring in 1986 to a farmhouse on the North Yorkshire Moors.
Winchester College knew in 1982 about allegations of sadomasochistic abuse at the hands of John Smyth

He was jailed last year after admitting filming 130 children over 16 years
New report reveals three headteachers ignored parents’ complaints
Parents complained as early as 1998 about ‘unsuitable rewards’ including beer, pizza and computer games nights held at German teacher’s home
16 August 2016
A court heard he hid cameras at different places around the school and was found with 2,500 hours of video and 1,400 indecent images on 330 tapes.
In July he had six months added to Thomson-Glover’s sentence after he admitted a string of further sex offences against children while he was teaching in Winchester.
He pleaded guilty to three counts of gross indecency involving a boy under 14 and one count of inciting a boy under 14 to commit a grossly indecent act.
The abuse took place at some point between 1987 and 1992, probably when the boys were about 12-years-old.
Winchester’s head of English, the sixth former and a ‘compromising situation’
4 October 2006
A female teacher at one of Britain’s most prestigious public schools has been disciplined after being caught in a “compromising situation” with one of her sixth-form pupils.
Lucia Quinault, the head of English at Winchester College, who is in her late 30s, was found with an 18-year-old boy after a celebratory dinner at the school.
Mrs Quinault, who is married to a senior civil servant in Whitehall and has three children, received a “severe warning” but kept her job.
It is the latest in a string of troubles at the 600-year-old school, including the 2003 arrest of an ex-housemaster over sex abuse allegations, which were later dropped.
According to a school insider, the incident happened after a leavers’ supper at a school boarding house with the nickname Hopper’s.
Winchester headmaster Ralph Townsend interviewed the teacher and the case was investigated by the school’s child protection officer.
Her husband, James, Director of Managed Migration at the Home Office, was this year caught up in a row over the number of asylum seekers at large after admitting National Insurance numbers were given out ‘like Smarties’.
When approached by The Mail on Sunday at the home he shares with his wife in the Hampshire town, Mr Quinault shouted ‘**** off’ and slammed the door.
The incident is the latest problem at the £25,000-a-year school – motto Manners Makyth Man – which regularly tops league tables.
Three years ago, the school’s head, Nick Tate, resigned after complaining of a campaign of vilification against him by the school’s “dons”.
In the same year, the school was caught up in allegations of fee-fixing with other schools.
It was later found guilty of anti-competitive practices by the Office of Fair Trading.
The scale and severity of the practice was horrific…

Former Bailiff Sir Philip Bailhache paid tribute to the work Mr Wavell did on Jersey’s behalf. He said:
“He was one of the first to realise the importance of community relations in the island and he was one of the first to build up links with Madeira,”
“I went there with him and his family on an official visit and it was clear that his enthusiasm and his friendship towards the Madeiran people was very much appreciated.”
Heath’s close friend Mike Wavell later was in charge of Jersey’s police force. Wavell bought the Aquila Road chapel and turned it into a youth club and adopted a daughter from Sri Lanka. Wavell welcomed many celebrities to the Waters Edge Hotel.
Variety the childrens charity of Jersey was started in 1968 at the The Waters Edge Hotel[96]…the hotel was owned by Mike Wavell
Their first event was held in a full size circus tent, which was obtained from a carnival company. A local newspaper artist caught the spirit of the occasion and for the front cover of the menu he sketched a typical circus barker, a broad-chested individual wearing a frock coat, a checked waistcoat, winged collar and a top hat. This barker, with full moustache and mouth wide open as he barked the customary circus jargon, became the official insignia of the organisation and is now recognised throughout the world as the copyright trademark of the Variety Club. Hence, all members are called ‘Barkers’ and The Variety Clubs around the world are known as ‘Tents’. Word soon travelled around the globe and Variety Club Tents popped up in all four corners of the world. There are over 50 Tents worldwide, and Jersey is Tent 52. International President Ralph W. Pries presented the Variety Club of Jersey – Tent 52 with its Charter at an inaugural luncheon held at The Waters Edge Hotel, Bouley Bay on Wednesday 17th July 1968. Our first Chief Barker was Leonard Matchan and those named in the Jersey Charter were Sir Billy Butlin MBE, Deputy Cyril Tanguy, Jack Harrison, George Evans, Peter Wood, Vincent Cimattai and Maurice Smith.
And Savile had a place in Bouley Bay………the villa was called ‘The Reef Villa’ and it was available to rent. It was in Bouley Bay but not at the ‘The Water’s Edge Hotel’ or their chalets. It was a small rental villa just up the hill past the chalets and tucked in beside the cliff pathway. Very private and all that.
The hotel’s owner, Mike Wavell, welcomed many celebs who wanted private trips away, including the Beatles.
Mr Wavell died in 2011 and his obituaries were full of praise for his charitable work.
They revealed how Mr Wavell was an orphan, raised by his two sisters who fostered children.
He went onto run the Guardian Nursing Agency on the island and shared a love of music with Mr Heath.
The Methodist spent 18 years as a member of Jersey’s parliament becoming the equivalent of our Home Secretary.

Mr Wavell later became President of the Defence Committee, in charge of Jersey’s police force.
Heath loved the isolated area so much he went on to moor his yacht off the cliffs of Bouley Bay and returned to the hotel in the weeks before he died in 2005.
A local resident, who did not wish to be named, confirmed: “Ted Heath stayed at the Waters Edge Hotel penthouse for six months in the early 70s.
“He was recovering from an operation and spent time in the Black Dog pub next door.”

Edward Heath fixed it for Jimmy Savile to receive OBE
Edward Heath backed paedophile Jimmy Savile for a royal honour – two years after the previous Prime Minister warned the Queen against it, reports the Sunday People.
Savile was passed over for an MBE a month before the former Conservative leader moved into No10, the Sunday People can reveal.
But less than two years after Heath took office, the TV presenter – exposed after his death as a serial child-sex abuser – was awarded the HIGHER honour of an OBE in 1971
1971 – Establishment paedophile Peter Hayman knighted.

The rector’s highly successful fund-raising campaign on (satanist) Mr Derry Mainwaring Knight’s behalf won the backing of the Bishop of Lewes, the Right Reverend Peter Ball.
On first meeting Mr Knight, he told the court, he thought him “a most evil man,” but after a second meeting he concluded that he was really “quite nice”
Records show how Savile was put forward for the more prestigious OBE honour half way through the former Tory leader’s stint as prime minister.
Savile’s nephew, Guy Marsden, alleged that Sir Edward abused a boy of 14 at a London party.
The unnamed victim is said to have been picked up by Savile and targeted by the politician just over a year before he became Prime Minister.
The man claims he recognised his alleged abuser as Heath only when he saw the politician on TV several years later.
Earlier it was revealed a man had come forward to claim to police he had been abused by the ex-PM at the age of 12 in a flat in Mayfair, central London, after he was picked up as a hitch-hiker when he ran away from home in 1961.

1.12.1965 Keele University: Princess Margaret confers honorary degree on Queen Mother at Keele University
Portrait of a Princess – Memories of Margaret Rose
HRH Princess Margaret, younger sister of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, was President of the University College of North Staffordshire and Chancellor of Keele University from 1962 to 1986.
In 1962 the college was awarded the Royal Charter to become the University of Keele and Margaret became the Chancellor of Keele University.
She had been appointed President in 1956 of its progenitor, the University College of North Staffordshire at Keele.
Princess Margaret was a dedicated and distinguished servant of Keele University and visited the campus frequently for the conferral of awards at graduation ceremonies and for special occasions until 1986. She is the longest serving Chancellor in Keele’s history.
We asked former Keele students to send their stories and memories of Princess Margaret to paint our unique Portrait of a Princess.
President of the Students Union in 1960-61
At the time Princess Margaret was portrayed in parts of the popular press as cold, snobbish – and a drinker.
I have a photo of Princess Margaret arriving at my graduation ceremony with other dignitaries and a photo of me (and also photos of all my friends) each curtseying in front of her to receive our degrees, as a friend was one of the official uni photographers on graduation day in 1983! I have even disco danced with Princess Margaret at a Student Union ball once, as again another of my friends was assisting security around the VIP entourage on the top floor of the Union building when she was officially opening the ball. She started the ball (I cant remember if it was summer or Christmas) with a dance with the SU president and then came up to me and one of my friends with me and held out her hand and said, “come on join in with me”. So we shuffled around the dance floor with her for a bit to some disco song of the era – Diana Ross maybe! Caroline Sene (1983)
Princess Margaret arrives at Keele in 1957, accompanied by Vice-Chancellor George Barnes.
HRH was not well thought of in my time. At the time Keele was having to contend with a one third cut in its UGC budget. The Student’s Union hoped HRH would perhaps use her influence on our behalf. This was not forthcoming. So. A friend of mine, Mark Bartholomew, and myself in the summer term of 1982, drafted a motion to a Union General Meeting calling for the Keele SU to unilaterally withdraw recognition of HRH as the University Chancellor and mandating the Union to organise an election for a successor. It got all sorts of ‘negative’ press (Daily Mail, Daily Express etc frothing at the mouth) and resulted in the then Vice-Chancellor David Harrison writing to me informing me that he held me ‘personally responsible’ for the publicity. I think a lot of us at the time were a little embarrassed that HRH had any association with Keele at all.
She pulled out of the 1981 summer graduation ceremony due to a ‘cold’ so unfortunately I never did get to see or meet her. I believe the then Vice-Chanceller confired my degree. However, I recall the real reason was due to perceived indiscretions by either herself or other members of the royal family
On official visits, her reputation for being aloof and difficult was beginning to take root. A former student leader told me how he saw her at Keele University, of which she was President, and got the impression that she would rather have been almost anywhere else on earth. The apparent hauteur may have been unintended, but that didn’t make the perception less real.

Cognita became embroiled in a major sexual abuse scandal when it emerged that one of its teachers, William Vahey, at its Southbank International School had systematically sexually abused at least 60 pupils at the school over a period of years. Vahey taught at the school from 2009 to 2013. Woodhead was the chairman of the school board.
Woodhead lived with Amanda Johnston, a former pupil of Gordano School, for nine years.[16] They insisted that their relationship had begun after they had left the school[5][17] but in 2015, immediately after his death, it was reported that his former wife disputed this version of events and stated that she had been asked to consider a ménage à trois with Johnson when the latter was just 17,[18]

Ex-Deputy Leader of Islington Council Jack Straw MP and “friend” paedophile Daren Pedley
Abraham Jacobs had worked at both Islington and Lambeth Care Homes and was known to Margaret Hodge, Jack Straw and Ted Knight.
The leader of Islington Council was forced to admit the town hall was “culpable” for the horrific kids’ homes abuse scandal that blights the borough’s past.
28 Sept 2017
Accounts were also heard for the first time of paedophiles hand-picking boys, who were not in the care system, from Islington schools to go on holidays abroad where they were molested.
One man described being taken out of school after being chosen to go on a week-long trip and repeatedly abused. He said another boy subjected to the same trauma had gone on to commit suicide.
The public meeting was held to order a new independent inquiry into allegations that a senior Islington councillor who oversaw social services at the time when the scandal came to light was once a member of a pro-paedophile organisation.
Mr Straw moved to London and studied for his Bar exams. In 1972, and still involved with the Labour Party, he became in rapid succession a councillor on Islington Council, where he served alongside an Alderman called Ted Castle, husband of the legendary Labour Cabinet minister Barbara Castle, and deputy leader of the Inner London Education Authority.

Plymouth sex offender banned from unsupervised contact with children
A SEX offender has been banned by a court from having unsupervised contact with children.
Plymouth magistrates put a sexual offences prevention order on 63-year-old John Youatt after hearing teenage boys had been visiting his home in Ernesettle.
Youatt, of Coltishall Close, did not contest the order, which will run indefinitely.
He was sentenced to five and a half years in jail in 1999 by a judge at Exeter Crown Court for indecency with a 12-year-old in Plymouth.
Magistrates ruled an order was necessary to protect the public from serious sexual harm.
The four prohibitions ban him being in the company of anybody under 18 in public or in private, excepting on public transport.
He is also prevented from contacting or attempting to contact anybody under that age by any means save in the course of a ‘legitimate business transaction’.
Youatt must not ‘sleep, remain or reside’ in any home where there is a child unless with the express permission of the authorities or the parents — and those parents must have prior knowledge of his previous convictions.
He is also banned from taking part in any recreational or voluntary activity which is likely to lead to unsupervised contact with boys under the age of 18.
Tom Bradnock, applying for the order on behalf of Devon & Cornwall Police, told the court that Youatt had ‘been in the company of teenage boys at his home address’.
Andrew Cooper, for Youatt, confirmed he would not contest the order.
Youatt is already signing the Sex Offenders’ Register.

His friend, John Youatt, 39, of Exeter, Devon, was jailed for three years.
He was acquitted of plotting to murder boys, but convicted of the other charges.

Paedophile killer ‘was murdered’: Post-mortem examination confirms child rapist was strangled in jail cell
19 October 1993
LESLIE BAILEY was serving a life sentence after being convicted in 1989 of the manslaughter of a male prostitute Jason Swift, 14, and admitting the murder of Barry Lewis, aged six. Both boys were kidnapped and subjected to gang rapes by a group of east London paedophiles, who police believe may have been involved in several more child murders.
Bailey was given two additional life sentences after pleading guilty to the manslaughter in June 1984 of Mark Tildesley, from Wokingham, Berkshire. The boy’s body has never been found.
Newly uncovered UK government files show that, in 1986, the then MI5 director general Sir Antony Duff wrote to the then Cabinet Secretary Sir Robert Armstrong about serious child abuse by top people..dailymail.
The files name former MI6 deputy director Peter Hayman, former Home Secretary Leon Brittan, Margaret Thatcher’s close aide Peter Morrison and Conservative Member of Parliament William van Straubenzee.
The files refer to the Kincora children’s home in Northern Ireland where boys were abused.
1998 Police last week confirmed that the late MP Peter Morrison had been picked up twice and never brought to trial. There appeared to be no trace of either incident in official records.

TED HEATH IN 5 COLOUR CHILD PORN PHOTOS
Boy George was born George O’Dowd in Bexley, in Kent.
Edward Heath was the member of Parliament for Bexley in Kent, and was born in Broadstairs in Kent.
In 1984, Boy George’s uncle, Kenneth O’Dowd, alleged that he had compromising photographs of Edward Heath .
He said that his former mistress Rita Lambert “appeared in pornographic photographs together with his two children.”
Kenneth O’Dowd claimed that he was framed by the authorities because, in 1976, he had discovered five colour photographs in the jewel box of Rita Lambert with whom he shared a flat in Woolwich, in London.
Heath was said to have been in two of the photographs, and the detective Sergeant, Brian Wallace, in three of them.
According to The Times, 19th January 1984:
Rita “a mother of three children, whose former boy friend has pleaded not guilty to raping and assaulting her, said she had never met Mr Heath…
“She denied ever seeing a briefcase in her home with the initials ‘E.A.H.’ on it.
“She also denied his allegation that she had been part of a prostitution ring.”
1990s – A criminal trial is allegedly halted after the defendant threatens to expose Sir Edward as a paedophile. According to a whistleblower, who was serving with the force at the time, senior officers quietly dropped the case in order to protect the former Prime Minister.
Confirmation on Kenneth O’Dowd marriage no 2 to Rita Lambert
Kenneth O’Dowd since his birth he as had at least 7 names and as done some serious crimes including poisoning and kidnapping and rapes including the plot to blackmail Edward Heath and George Wallace and his wife Rita Lambert who was involved another crime
The 47-year-old former Culture Club star, whose real name is George O’Dowd, was found guilty of handcuffing male escort Audun Carlsen to a radiator during a drug-fuelled photoshoot and beating him with a chain
The “Heath Pictures Case” was one in which a person who was accused of rape, Kevin O’Dowd produced a photocopy of a photograph of Sir Edward Heath.

Nick Hurd (Conservative), who voted against it, has a demonstrable relationship to Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire child abuser from the USA who is at the the heart of an ongoing child sex abuse scandal implicating Prince Andrew.
Epstein has been on the sex offenders register since 2008 after serving thirteen months of an eighteen month sentence for soliciting an underage girl for prostitution, and is currently facing allegations that he recruited a 15-year-old girl to act as a sex slave on a private jet for his friend and client, Prince Andrew.

Arthur Henry Ashford Wynn (22 January 1910 – 24 September 2001), was a British civil servant, social researcher, and recruiter of Soviet spies.Recruited by Edith Tudor-Hart in 1936, Wynn was the well known Soviet spy “Agent Scott” of the KGB. Wynn created the less prominent Oxford spy ring, the University of Oxford counterpart to the infamous Cambridge Five.
Recruited to the NKVD’s British team, Wynn started sending reports on Oxford members of the Communist Party. These were related to recruitment of spies, of which he listed 25, for which later screening – which Wynn himself was subjected to – five were considered highly suitable. These included an individual code-named “Bunny”, who has never been identified.[2]
This team Wynn recruited became the basis for the Oxford spy ring. Wynn also identified and offered to recruit students from the University of Cambridge and the University of London, but his handlers urged him to be more “selective. There should be no mass recruitment.”

For many years, George Carman practised out of the limelight on the Northern Circuit. But in 1971, shortly after Carman took Silk, the solicitor Sir David Napley saw him at the Old Bailey defending a manager of Battersea Funfair. The man was charged with the manslaughter of four children after the Big Dipper collapsed. Carman secured a verdict of Not Guilty, having, in Napley’s opinion, “mesmerised” the jury. Napley determined to make use of him.
Carman was still in chambers in Manchester, however, and Napley briefed him only intermittently during the 1970s. Then in 1978 Napley telephoned Carman to tell him that the leader of the Liberal Party, Jeremy Thorpe, was probably going to be committed for trial on charges of conspiracy to murder and that he was going to retain him.

In the first and third parts Davis appeared alone doing snatches of his cabaret act and a joy it was to watch too. The middle part however was the best of all. Tesler took his cameras away from the studio to Battersea Fun Fair… it was a shade overlong and could have been trimmed by a couple of minutes… still, the sight of Davis leading the children around like a Pied Piper was a sheer joy to watch, especially the final shot of them skipping one by one across a bridge which seemed to dissolve into the distant trees. (EDIT: Battersea Bridge Road??) This sequence was followed by Davis going into a hat shop in search of a typically British outfit. Aided by Lionel Blair, who was at his best, we had a sequence rich in comedy and movement” (Note- thankfully this show survives in the ABC archive)”
“Yes, that’s Sammy Davis, Jr. between (Michael) Aquino and Anton LaVey (who was a well known Satanist). Here’s a clip from 1971 featuring Sammy in a show called; “Poor Devil”.

Sir Robert Armstrong, now Baron Armstrong of Ilminster
However, the papers did contain a “striking example” of how crimes against children were treated much less seriously than they would be now. The lawyers cited a document written in November 1986 about an unnamed MP accused by two sources of having a “penchant for small boys” by the then head of MI5, Sir Antony Duff, and sent to Sir Robert Armstrong, now Baron Armstrong of Ilminster but then Secretary of the Cabinet under Margaret Thatcher.

We showed these to Mr Proctor and asked if they had been taken inside his flat in Fulham High Street.
He replied very quietly “Yes, it certainly look like it.”
But he denied the pictures were his, or part of any collection he owned. Mr Proctor is a leading member of the high Tory Monday Club. Jackson said that on one date Proctor took him to the House of Commons for dinner.
He described how they met at the Central Lobby and went through a security machine.
“Harvey suggested we had a bit to eat. We went into a canteen. Leon Brittan was sitting there alone,” he said.
“Another time I went to the Commons to pick up some keys and wore a jacket he bought me.”
Jackson also described how he and another rent boy took part in games at Proctor’s flat.

After months of police refusing to name key figures involved in the inquiry, the public statement by the former Conservative MP has ended the anonymity for potential suspects, some of whom are dead.

Dr. Bill Thompson
Truthseeker1@thewakeupcall09
Dr. Bill Thompson Advisory Board of the British False Memory Foundation, so must of known Barbara Hewson.
Born in Pompey (AKA Portsmouth) of Australian parentage, Bill Thompson brings a wealth of real life experience (including market street trader, museum archivist and barristers clerk) and study to his teaching and research at Reading for his courses on Mass Media, and Human Sexualities.
While teaching Sociology and Enlightenment philosophy at Essex, and Sociology and Political Science at Cambridge, Bill concentrated upon the sociology of law creation, morality, and sexual minorities; and, in 1987, conducted a major Minority Rights Survey for Southampton City Council.
Since coming to Reading, Bill has specialized in the sociology of sexually orientated material, false allegations of sexual assaults, and False Memory Syndrome. His advice has been sought by barristers, solicitors and Guardian Ad. Litum’s; and he has appeared in over 20 court cases as an expert witness. Being a practicing associate of the British Academy of Experts makes him – a real-life ‘cracker’.
He is probably best known for his research in debunking the Satanic Ritual Abuse myths and for his ethnographic study of the Orkney case. His work on interview techniques reopened the Ayrshire Case, and helped secure the collapse of the prosecution in Bishop Auckland. He also authored half a dozen teaching monographs for social workers dealing with multiple ‘abuse’ claims, including a full scale simulation.
You have probably seen Bill on TV or heard him on the radio, being one of most popular media sociologists, covering subjects ranging from ‘Child Sex Abuse’ to the ‘Princess of Wales’. His work urban legends, bogus social workers, and lying has also been featured in the academic, regional and national press.
Bill aims to produce research and publications with a practical pay off. Apart from the media, his research has been submitted to the Law Commission and Home Office, lead to a place on the Advisory Board of the British False Memory Foundation, helped alter the law, informed Public Inquires, and helped many individuals – including securing the release of Patrick Nichols who had spent 23 in jail for a murder than never happened!
His publications include: articles on Moral Crusades and Media Censorship, Britains Moral Majority, Gay activism, How to present academic research in the media, and the Social and Political Impact of Charismatic Christianity; and the books Soft-Core: Moral Crusades Against pornography in Britain and America., and Sadomasochism: Painful Perversion or Pleasurable Play.
This eclectic background makes Bill a very popular teacher and sought after dissertation supervisor. Former students have gone on to conduct important research into HIV, and suicide.

Bar this troll: Human rights barrister accused of vile rants against child sex victims
10 Feb 2018
Law chiefs are looking into claims against Barbara Hewson, 56, following complaints from survivors about foul-mouthed posts on social media
A probe has been launched into a top human rights barrister after she was accused of trolling a string of child sex abuse victims online.
Law chiefs are looking into the claims against Barbara Hewson, 56, following complaints from survivors about foul-mouthed posts.
Messages sent on social media sites from various personal accounts in Hewson’s name have seen her brand victims “lunatics”, “manipulative”, “dangerous”, “cowardly” and “nutwings”.
One outraged victim said: “This can’t go on. She has to be stopped.”
In other posts, Hewson tells those sharing their horrific experiences with others to “shut the f*** up”.
She appears to brand one alleged victim “as vulnerable as a lorryload of gravel” and criticises victims “whinging” about their ordeals.
The Sunday Mirror has also seen a post in which an account in the lawyer’s name refers to an official from the Bar Standards Board as “c*nty” and discloses her home address.
The Bar Standards Board, which was set up to regulate barristers, is one of the bodies investigating complaints against Hewson.
Victim Clare Sheahan has called for the lawyer to be struck off.
Clare, who says she was attacked by a paedophile at 10, told officials that Hewson has trolled her and others on Twitter for two years.
The 62-year-old said: “She has made people’s lives hell. I wish she could see the effect her messages are having on people who are already vulnerable.
“She’s in a position of power and people look up to her but I believe her posts will discourage people from reporting abuse or sharing their pain.
“What if someone self harms, or even commits suicide, because of what she has said? If she’d experienced the complete and utter terror that a child feels when being attacked by a paedophile I’m sure she’d take a different view.”
London-based Hewson rose to prominence after speaking out against the investigation into celebrities that followed the Jimmy Savile scandal.
She has also called for the age of consent to be lowered to just 13.
Hewson got a harassment warning from police last March following a report from fellow lawyer Sarah Phillimore.
The Bar Standards Board also looked at claims by law student Mehul Desai, a supporter of Phillimore, that he had received death threats from Hewson, which saw her receive a harassment warning from the Met Police.
She left her chambers at 1 Gray’s Inn Square the following month and is now self-employed.
Clare said Irish-born Hewson has described her as a “lunatic” and a “fishwife” and questioned her claims to have been abused as a child on holiday in the 1960s.
Clare, from South London, who has spent many years campaigning against child sex abuse and reached out to other survivors online, said she was targeted by Hewson after disagreeing with a point the lawyer made on Twitter.
She said: “I asked her why she was saying such nasty things about child sex abuse survivors. I didn’t understand why, as a barrister, she’d do that.
“That’s when the onslaught started. I eventually blocked her but friends told me that she continued to slag me off.”
Clare is one of at least two people who have complained to the Bar Standards Board. She has also contacted police.
She said: “I’m lucky to have a good support network of family and friends to pick me up. Others aren’t so lucky.”
Barrister Barbara Hewson fails in JR of harassment warning over tweets to fellow counsel
15 March 2018
A barrister involved in a public spat with another barrister has failed in her attempt to judicially review a police decision to issue her with a prevention of harassment letter (PHL), which she claimed breached her human rights.
Barbara Hewson, who describes herself as a barrister and author, and in the past has stirred controversy over her views on lowering the age of consent, claimed that in issuing the PHL under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, the police had breached her article 8 right to a private and family life, and article 10 right to free expression.
Ms Hewson admitted directing strongly worded tweets at Sarah Phillimore (called ‘the complainant’ in the case), a family barrister at St John’s chambers in Bristol.
Though initially they were in dispute over “their differing opinions in relation to legal issues”, Mr Justice Dove recorded, Ms Hewson used words such as “malicious crackpot”, “unhinged” and “evil” on Twitter to describe Ms Phillimore.
But she submitted they had been made in the context of a more complex issue related to her being cyber-stalked, in which she contended Ms Phillimore had become involved, and she said the Bristol barrister also sent her own tweets using strong language – her actions were, in effect, a ‘tit for tat’ retaliation.
The judge said Ms Hewson claimed that Ms Phillimore “deployed the PHL in a media strategy designed to cause her serious reputational harm” and national newspaper coverage that followed cast Ms Phillimore as the victim.
The police can issue a PHL if they are satisfied a person is engaged in a “course of conduct” which amounts to harassment. However, it does not imply guilt and has no legal standing in itself.
Wiltshire police issued Ms Hewson with the PHL in March 2017 after Ms Phillimore complained about the social media comments. An attempt to interview Ms Hewson before its issue was unsuccessful.
Dove J dismissed her application for judicial review, concluding that the PHL was lawful.
The judge acknowledged a PHL could have an impact on the recipient’s reputation and that the case involved a “public dimension, to the extent that publication of views on social media are in the public domain”.
However, he cited Moore-Bick LJ in R (Catt) v ACPO [2015] AC 1065, who concluded a PHL “did not involve any formal determination of any kind”.
Dove J continued: “It is simply a record that the allegation has been made, and a warning in respect of future conduct.”
That a police officer had issued it “on the basis of the need to seek to extinguish the claimant’s persistent use of social media involving communication about the complainant” was, in his view, “proportionate”.
He ruled that the fact Ms Hewson had not had a chance to dispute the allegations against her was not relevant.
“[The officer] was not being called upon to adjudicate in relation to who might be the wronged party in the lengthy dispute between the claimant and the complainant…
“The purpose of the PHL was to provide the claimant with notice of the allegation which had been made against her, and the opportunity to consider her position and, if so advised, avoid any further investigation.
“Providing her side of the story would not necessarily have obviated the justification for the issuing of a PHL.”
Any interference with Ms Hewson’s article 10 rights was similarly proportionate, the judge added.

Interesting that Enoch Powell corresponded both with Ball and Montagu who were both let off the hook by Skelhorn.

MI5 knew of cover-up over Cyril Smith child abuse, inquiry hears
9 Oct 2017
MI5 knew the country’s chief prosecutor had covered up a sex abuse inquiry into Cyril Smith but did nothing because it was not its job to expose paedophiles, an inquiry has heard.
Files released by the intelligence agency show it was aware that the Director of Public prosecutions (DPP) had lied to a newspaper over its decision not to prosecute Smith. But it decided not to make the information public because its duty was to ‘defend the realm’ rather than to expose a prominent politicians accused of being a paedophile.
The disclosure came during the first day of hearings into how Smith, the former Liberal MP, was able to abuse boys at Cambridge House hostel and Knowl View residential school in Rochdale. Smith died in 2010, having never faced prosecution.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) last night released an MI5 briefing note which showed how Sir Thomas Hetherington, the then DPP, had lied to a local newspaper about the existence of a 1970 police inquiry into allegations of gross indecency made against Smith.
Had the DPP admitted Smith had been under investigation, it would have led to a new inquiry and Smith being put on trial in his lifetime.
Hetherington had called a legal adviser in the intelligence agency to inform him of the press interest from David Bartlett, a journalist with the Rochdale Alternative Press. The briefing note states: “After consultations, the DPP’s press representative had untruthfully told Bartlett that they had no record of this case. In fact their file closely accorded with the details given by Bartlett.”
The memo, from the MI5 legal adviser and written in April 1979, goes on to suggest that the South African intelligence agency had been “trying to obtain compromising information about political figures” and that Smith was one of them.
The police investigation into Smith had been closed nine years earlier in 1970 by Hetherington’s predecessor Sir Norman Skelhorn who decided it was unlikely to lead to a prosecution.
Skelhorn’s decision was made despite a senior detective warning that the “sordid” accusations against Smith “stood up”.
Brian Altman QC, IICSA’s lead counsel, told the inquiry: “The documents show that the Security Service’s legal adviser was informed of the false representations to the press from the DPP’s office.
“Based upon their review of the information they hold, the Security Service considers they took active steps to ensure that those involved in investigating allegations of child sexual abuse against Smith were made aware of all information of relevance to their inquiries.
Was Thomas Hetherington told by Geoffrey Dickens in 1983 that Cyril Smith was a child sex abuser?
Westminster child abuse exclusive: Geoffrey Dickens also gave copy of file to top prosecutor Sir Thomas Hetherington – so why did DPP also fail to act on evidence of paedophile ring?

Government files reveal far more than a former PM’s interest in a paedophile group
Wiltshire Police’s Operation Conifer has reported that, if the late Conservative prime minister Sir Edward Heath was alive today, he would be questioned under caution in relation to allegations of child sex abuse. But a government-archived collection of files actually flagged up, some decades back, Heath’s interest in the ‘Paedophile Information Exchange’. And many more of those files flagged up other alleged child sex abuse cases.
The allegations
A summary by The Guardian of the allegations that Operation Conifer [pdf] believed to merit follow-up includes:
1961: Heath allegedly raped and indecently assaulted an 11-year-old boy during a paid sexual encounter in a private dwelling. London.
1962: Heath in the company of an unknown male allegedly indecently assaulted a 10-year-old boy during a chance encounter in a public place. Kent.
c1964: Heath allegedly indecently assaulted a 15-year-old male during three paid sexual encounters. Sussex and London.
1967: Heath allegedly indecently assaulted a 15-year-old male not known to him in private during a chance encounter in a public building. Guernsey.
1976: Heath allegedly indecently assaulted over clothing an adult male during a chance encounter at a public event. Jersey.
c1992: Heath allegedly indecently assaulted an adult male after consent was withdrawn in what had been a paid consensual sexual encounter in a hotel. Wiltshire.
These allegations are also listed in a table [pdf, p80].
A decision is yet to be made as to whether the allegations will be referred to the Crown Prosecution Service. And Wiltshire Police stated:
It is critical to stress that no inference of guilt should be drawn from the fact that Heath would have been interviewed under caution.
Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE)
PIE was a lobby group that supported paedophilia. A 2014 BBC article described how it:
wanted the government to axe or lower the age of consent. It offered support to adults ‘in legal difficulties concerning sexual acts with consenting ‘under age’ partners’. The real aim was to normalise sex with children.
What is not generally known is that the government possessed a file on Heath’s interest in PIE. The file forms part of the notorious 114 ‘missing’ files on child sex abuse. That list can now be seen in full and provides an insight into the range of alleged child sex abuse cases the authorities were aware of.
Heath’s entry on the list is number 77. The metadata (heading) for the file shows his interest in PIE and that the file is “presumed destroyed”:
Heath reportedly attended several PIE meetings at Westminster, though the precise nature of his interest in that organisation is unknown.
Secret dossiers
A government document [pdf, p2] provides some statistics on the number of child sex abuse files for 1979-1999. A total of 2,188 (85%) of these files were either destroyed or went ‘missing’. Details of some of the inquiries are also listed [pdf, p3-4]. .
A dossier of child sex abuse allegations, including details of PIE meetings, was handed to then Home Secretary Sir Leon Brittan by Conservative MP Geoffrey Dickens. Brittan later claimed he passed on the dossier to the Home Office for investigation, but that it was subsequently destroyed.
Scotland Yard also handed Brittan a second 40 page dossier, which named 16 high-profile people involved with PIE. Labour MEP and veteran MP Barbara Castle provided a copy, which included Dickens’ dossier, to Bury Messenger editor Don Hale. Hale went on to claim that Special Branch officers raided his office and confiscated the documents, only one day after Liberal leader Cyril Smith MP visited him to demand he bury the story.
More files resurface
Another government document quotes [pdf, p9-10] a letter from Richard Heaton (Permanent Secretary and First Parliamentary Counsel) to Peter Wanless (head of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) and Richard Whittam QC, where reference is made to certain files:
“The first is the PREM [Prime Minister’s office] file about Sir Peter Hayman [the British High Commissioner in Canada]…”
“[The] second, a PREM file about Sir William van Straubenzee [Tory MP] was identified in late January 2015… On review my team noted that the file contained references to the Kincora Boys’ Home…”
“The final group of papers about Peter Morrison [close aide and adviser to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher], Leon Brittan, Peter Hayman, William van Straubenzee and Colin Wallace’s [former Army intelligence, Northern Ireland] allegations about Kincora were found in a separate Cabinet Office store of assorted and unstructured papers...”
Special Branch officers reportedly saw former MI6 head Sir Maurice Oldfield associating with boys from Kincora Boys’ Home. And former intelligence officer Brian Gemmell alleged that MI5 used Kincora as a blackmail lever.
The letter adds [pdf]:
In finding some other papers about Hayman we also found papers about van Straubenzee, Brittan and Morrison… we created a full catalogue of the collection, deploying a special team for this task. As a result, Roger was able to show you some other papers that largely related to Morrison, Brittan, Hayman, and Maurice Oldfield.
Thatcher implicated
There was also a National Archives report that includes a letter from Thatcher to then Attorney-General Sir Michael Havers. In the letter, Thatcher says:
So that there be no doubt, I leave to your judgment whether or not you are interviewed on media or TV about the Hayman matter.
The memo is the final entry in the file, and was released to the National Archives as: “PREM 19/588 SECURITY. Sir Peter Hayman: allegations against former public official of unnatural sexual proclivities; security aspects”.
In 1981, following a question raised by Dickens, the Attorney-General admitted that Hayman was a subscriber to PIE.
A former civil servant also accused the Home Office of giving tens of thousands of pounds of public money to PIE at the request of Special Branch. And according to a source with “inside knowledge of Scotland Yard in the early 1980s”, Thatcher ‘personally covered up’ child abuse allegations against senior ministers.
Other allegations
Former Conservative activist Anthony Gilberthorpe alleged he found “rent boys” for top Tory politicians, and that Thatcher knew about it.
David Cameron’s adviser on child abuse further claimed that a “Westminster Chumocracy” protected itself from paedophile allegations. Also, a former child protection manager alleged that up to 20 prominent public figures were part of a paedophile ring covering parliament and the judiciary.
Westminster scandal
Operation Conifer examined some of the allegations raised against Heath. And in response Heath’s former Cabinet Secretary Lord Armstrong of Ilminster said:
All those who knew Sir Edward Heath or worked with him are, without exception, convinced that the allegations of child abuse will all be found to be groundless.
But many more allegations of child sex abuse have been raised against other prominent Westminster figures. And government archived files and other documents raise more questions than answers.
The Canary asked the Home Office for comment, but no response was received by the time of publication.

Edward Heath, Clockwork Orange and the Frolik Affair
Oct 6 2017
Wiltshire Police yesterday reported on a series of sexual abuse allegations against former Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath, covering a period between 1956 and 1992. Theirreport concludes the evidence would have warranted interviewing him under caution if he were still alive.
This finding raises significant questions about the stories about Heath’s private life that were circulating during his lifetime and indeed during his premiership.
Some of these stories appeared to circulate from official sources. For example, Heath’s name came up in the notes compiled in the mid-1970s by Army information officer Colin Wallace, on the basis of briefings by an MI5 officer using the pseudonym John Shaw. [1]
This material was part of Operation Clockwork Orange, which according to MI5 officer Ian Cameron”was the title of a project involving the ‘planting’ of an account of the organisation and activities of the PIRA purporting to have been written by a PIRA deserter”. [2]
Wallace’s notes, authenticated to the mid-1970s by forensic expert Dr Julius Grant, allude to material that would only have been known to MI5 at that time.[3] They are key evidence that Clockwork Orange became the vehicle for right-wingers in the security services to target British politicians.
Heath’s family have called for an inquiry to clear his name. Any such investigation should examine the provenance of the Clockwork Orange and Frolik material and their influence on later allegations.
Well, folks, it would appear Peter McKelvie was right after all as seen her from his letter to David Cameron:

Margaret Thatcher gave MP knighthood despite knowing child sex abuse claims against him, inquiry hears
The honour for then Rochdale MP Cyril Smith allowed him to continue to exploit his victims because he used the title to maintain ties with children’s organisations, investigators said.
The revelation came as the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse heard witness statements as part of its probe into how Smith was allegedly able to abuse young boys at Cambridge House hostel and Knowl View residential school in Rochdale.
The inquiry panel was told that the MP’s knighthood was awarded despite people “at the very highest level of politics” being aware of multiple allegations he had sexually abused at least eight boys.

By 1970 Powell even had his own supporters’ magazine, the Powellite. The name was a pun on the anti-fascist magazine Searchlight, and solidified the link between the Tory and the fascist Right. The magazine was edited from the home of close Powell confidant Beryl ‘Bee’ Carthew, who joined the National Front in 1975. Her same home address would later be listed as the headquarters of a West London branch of the Front. Powell wrote to her saying he would never condemn her abandoning the Conservatives, and told her he did not consider the Front dangerous. His only objection to the National Front appears to be that he was ‘obstinately … parliamentarian’, and saw no future in the smaller parties.
Bee Carthew’s apartment had been the headquarters of the Powellite – a (Powellight) association – would by 1976 become the address of a West London branch of the National Front,
G.K. Young was a merchant banker working for Kleinwort Benson. He had been a member of secret intelligence then became deputy head of MI6, the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) that works overseas.

QUEEN’S BENCH DIVISION (COMMERCIAL COURT)

How much would Harvey Proctor have known about his mate Jonathan Denby’s shipping deals? Were his shirt shop donations to stop him blabbing?
Just look at the names of Proctor’s shirt shop backers! All Tories, many involved in sex scandals and many with strong military links...
Mark Thatcher and Hewson cousin Jonathan Denby were both into cement deals at around the same time. Did their paths cross perchance?
alun:
In the days leading up to Jonathan Denby’s run-in with the Police as getaway driver to the two Callaghans, Denby is known to have been tailing David Whitworth of Bulk Cement International Ltd.
David Whitworth of Bulk Cement Marketing International LTD…Jonathan Denby allegedly begins tailing him following claims against him by his former partners.
Years before, Whitworth had been a good friend of Denby’s and even assisted him in setting up a numbered account in Geneva. That account is presumably where Denby stashed the ‘boodle’ Bee Carthew told Enoch Powell he couldn’t get his fingers on.
It can hardly be a coincidence that Sir Victor Henry Goodhew MP was a director of Bulk Cement Marketing International. He was a Monday Club member, whip and ardent supporter of Enoch Powell, the man Jonathan Denby was aide to.
Interestingly enough, Goodhew’s money came from family firms which controlled 30 restaurants, including St Stephen’s, formerly opposite the House of Commons.
Gregory Lauder Frost campaigned for Victor Goodhew, at St Albans, and again for his successor, Peter Lilley, in 1983. Lauder-Frost was an early member of McWhirter’s Freedom Association and became a Vice-President of the conservative Western Goals Institute.
Another Western Goals man, Robert McFarlane was involved in ContraGate and on the board of Aegis, Soames’ defence company. Soames (Wardrobe with Little Key) is of course a close friend of Denby mate Proctor and likely facilitated his St. (V)Ermin’s PR conference.

While McFarlane was busting sanctions, Denby was in trouble with the Iranians and Denby friend Bee Carthew was making references to Weinberger and North, Harvey Proctor was being invited to Reagan’s second inauguration.
Background info re: Bulk Cement Marketing International
but it seems SIR VICTOR HENRYGOODHEW MP was a director of Bulk Cement Marketing International -He was a Monday Club member, Ted Heath made Goodhew a whip and Goodhew was a supporter of Enoch Powell
When the Conservatives returned to power in 1970, Ted Heath appointed Goodhew as an Assistant Government Whip in June 1970, and he was promoted to a full government whip, as a Lord Commissioner of the Treasury, in October 1970.

I’d need to reread my notes. Something to do with Blue Circle. Massive concern of a company…
BLUE CIRCLE CEMENT
Dame Alun Roberts@ciabaudo
Jonathan Denby, nephew of Sir Richard Denby and cousin of Barbara Hewson!
craftymuvva
He (Denby) set up a deal with the Russians
Blue Circle was embroiled in the Lord Lambton scandal.
Hanora Mary Russell aka Norma Levy – Raised in a devout Irish Catholic family in Co. Cork, one of her aunts was the mother superior of a convent and an uncle was a monk.
B orn in Limerick on June 4, 1947 — died, aged 60, at the Bridgepoint Health Centre, Toronto
She almost brought down Edward Heath’s government… call girl who brought down the Government: Norma Levy destroyed the careers of two Conservative ministers. And now she’s taken secrets of a THIRD Tory grandee – who’s still alive – to her grave
Nora Russell’s brother and sister flew to Britain to hide her notebooks
It contained exact dates and activities of her sexual encounters with clients
Scandal: Antony Lambton, formerly 6th Earl of Durham and known before 1970 as Viscount Lambton, Lord Lambton resigned as an MP in 1973 after a scandal involving prostitute Norma Levy
The Defence Under-Secretary Lord Lambton and the leader of the House of Lords, Lord Jellicoe, were just two of the high-profile figures who used the services of the society madam who hired her.
Others included members of the nobility, film and pop stars, business tycoons and at least one more Tory minister, who somehow escaped the great scandal and is now among the party’s respected elder statesmen.
And in an A4-sized notebook she kept in her apartment in Maida Vale, North-West London, Levy had recorded not only the names of all her clients, but the dates when she serviced them, the fees they paid her and even their sexual peccadilloes.
During our conversation, she never made it clear if she had retained this documentary dynamite.
But according to her closest friend and confidante, Sharon Carter, who was too ill to visit her in the hospice, Levy’s oil executive brother Jack Russell and sister Mary, an eminent physician, were taking no chances with that secret notebook.
…taken on the books of Jean Horn, then the madam of choice for the rich and famous.
…her client list, she mentioned the Greek shipping magnate Stavros Niarchos, the Shah of Iran, the head of an oil-rich Middle Eastern state, a fraudster who funded Richard Nixon’s presidential campaign and the brother of a former Lord Mayor of London.
There were more we cannot identify for legal reasons. A girl from Horn’s stable entertained a pop singer who remains a household name. Surely her weirdest customer was oil tycoon Jean Paul Getty.
Summoned to his Surrey mansion, she was paid the modern-day equivalent of £600 to wear a white robe and lay in an open coffin for an hour, pretending to be a corpse as he gazed down at her.
She became London’s most sought-after dominatrix.
The truth behind the Lambton affair has never been established.
What is known for sure is that it happened a few months after Norma met and quickly married Colin Levy, a London cabbie who apparently owned a yacht in the South of France and moved in shadowy circles.
Was he — as some suggest — working for MI5, who might have wanted to expose Lambton’s use of prostitutes to remove him from the Department of Defence and warn off other misbehaving ministers?
Or was he an agent of the Left, which wanted to damage the reputation of the Heath government at a time of political strife?
By the late Nineties, she ran one of the biggest call girl agencies on the U.S. East Coast, employing students from Princeton University desperate to pay off their college fees.Inevitably, the law caught up with her again. Her £1.5 million assets, including a mansion, were sequestered and, after serving 18 months in jail, she was deported (for the fifth time) to Ireland.
Lord Lambton scandal in 3 parts – has Barbara Castle (Tom Driberg sucked up to her big time writing her biog – if he was MI5 he was ensuring she was neutralised!) and Sir Nicholas Fairbairn – Esther’s ex in it
Lord Lambton Scandal. Link to Child Abuse. Who was the third man?
To add to the intrigue a German “hostess operator” Hans Ulrich-Altoff was tried for pimping in Germany [1] and had claimed to work with Norma and that they had an arrangement to swap girls between English and German outfits [1]. Part of the charges against Hans were that he tried to entice children to pose for erotic pictures, which he denied [1].
In 2004 the BBC stated that “Documents released by the National Archives on Thursday under the 30-year rule show MI5 feared a scandal and Mr Heath had ordered a Security Commission inquiry into the implications of the affair” [7].
Colin Levy, Normas husband, has been described as a taxi driver ‘I never saw him drive any cab,’ she scoffs. In fact, she says, he never seemed to do much work at all, but he always had plenty of money, and a yacht in St Tropez. He also travelled extensively, went out at strange times, and mingled with mysterious people, prompting Norma to believe he was somehow involved with the security services.[5]
Heath has also slept with prostitutes[11] so depending on the timing of his use, could have been lucky to get away without scrutiny. The cabinet also had Reg Maudling, who previously had to resign in the Poulson affair and Keith Joseph who has been linked to child sexual abuse[12]
This leaves many questions some of which are below.
What is in the National Archive Document PREM 15/1906?
Who was the third minister named by Norma Levy? and who the possible fourth?
Was the Heath cabinet stuffed with users of prostitutes?
What were the results of the Report of the Security Commission inquiry?
What happened to Hans Ulrich-Altoff, what were his links to photographing children and his links to English pimping and prostitution?
At the time of Altoffs trial Heath was on a private visit to Bavaria -what was he doing, especially in view of the allegations about him being a DVD agent? [9]
What was the role of Colin Levy?
What was the role of MI5, especially given all the indications of the “elite” child sexual abuse paedosadism scandal that MI5 oversee it for blackmail purposes?
Time for the citizen sleuths to dig out more…

Why on earth would Thatcher’s gov’t take charge of Denby’s case with Iran after the Denby v. Iran verdict? Handling hot goods?
Absolutely massive! Why would Gov’t otherwise take charge of his Iranian affairs. Does he have special protection?
…
I asked J. what he plans to do with the rest of his life if freed. He told me he wouldn’t …go back to the old life which he says he didn’t really enjoy. I got the impression that while he has some boodle tucked away he has been unable to get at it while ‘on the run’. He is also in trouble with the Iranians – not his clients who, he says would help him if they could, but with the govt because the govt has vitually taken charge of the case.
We may never learn the truth about “corrupt” deals involving Margaret Thatcher and her son Mark after another “establishment cover-up”.
The National Archives are releasing hundreds of government records and notes of Cabinet meetings under the 30-year-rule, covering 1986 to 1988, the middle of Margaret Thatcher’s reign at No10.
But two entitled “Cementation contract: Mark Thatcher and the Omanis” covering the period from 1981 to 1988 are listed as being “retained” for 65 years – meaning they will not be released until 2053 when Sir Mark would be aged 99.
Two others – one entitled “Mark Thatcher and the Omanis; other allegations against Mark Thatcher” and “Request by Electronic Data Systems to employ Mark Thatcher” have been “temporarily retained” with no date for release.
The decision to keep the files closed was ultimately taken by former Culture Secretary John Whittingdale,who served as Mrs Thatcher’s political secretary in the last months of her tenure in No10 and who signed off on the secrecy.
From 1982–84, Whittingdale was head of the political section of the Conservative Research Department. He then served as Special Adviser to three successive Secretaries of State for Trade and Industry, Norman Tebbit, 1984–85; Leon Brittan, 1985–86, and Paul Channon, 1986–87. He worked on international privatisation at NM Rothschild in 1987 and in January 1988, became Political Secretary to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Upon her resignation Whittingdale was appointed OBE and continued to serve as her Political Secretary until being elected to Parliament in 1992.[5]
Did Whittingdale’s lifestyle make him easy to blackmail into closing files relating to the son of the woman he served under?
The files cover Sir Mark’s time working as a consultant for Cementation International, a subsidiary of the construction and engineering conglomerate Trafalgar House.
When details of a deal to build a new university in Oman emerged in the 1980s, it led to allegations Mrs Thatcher had used her influence with the pro-British Sultan of Oman to secure the contract for her son’s firm.
“There is no legitimate reason for these papers to not be in the public domain and I urge the Cabinet Office to think again.”
In the furore over the Oman deal, it was decided that Sir Mark should leave the UK for America.
Among the other files listed as being retained is a series of No 10 papers about the Royal family, including one entitled
“Career of Prince Andrew Duke of York“, another entitled
“The Prince of Wales’ Special Projects Unit”
and a third marked “Procedures for the Royal Family taking up jobs and other commercial appointments”.
“The tentacles of a paedophile ring, in North Wales and elsewhere, spread to penetrate every important section of the establishment, including, quite prominently, the biggest wigs in the Tory party…
“Right at the top of our dishonour’s list was Lord McAlpine, former fund raiser to the Tory party, and one of their die-hard heavyweights.
“We named him because we knew at the time that he was under investigation by a police force who had been bought in to find out the complicity of various police officers who were either part of the filthy ring, or involved in extensive cover-ups.
“We have always alleged, now more so, that the whole rotten affair had a predominantly freemason perspective.”
“Fraud Squad officers were alerted to investigate allegations that while McAlpine was a fund-raiser he not only created a slush fund, but got into amoney laundering operation, using Tory party bank accounts.
“Our sources claim that much of the slush fund was used to help cover-up the activities of his fellow conspirators in the gay- paedophile ring, and other impending sex scandals.
“But a new question mark now hangs over the money laundering allegation.
“Is this where Mark Thatcher managed to ‘cleanse’ his dirty- dealing money?”
At his office in London, journalists were regaled with gossip and generous lashings of Chateau Latour, and he became a favourite of even such papers as The Independent and The Guardian.
Rotund in loud but well-cut Savile Row suits and bilious pink and green Garrick Club ties, he would lunch prospective donors (and journalists) at the Club.
Money was never discussed directly, but the follow-up letters left recipients in little doubt about what was expected and the funds poured in.
McAlpine was thought to have raised about £100 million.
When party treasurer, McAlpine would discreetly invite some fellow captain of industry or commerce to lunch – usually at the Garrick Club.
He would ensure the invitation went out on the treasurer’s headed writing paper to avoid any misunderstanding. Over lunch and lashings of his favourite Chateau Latour he would, as a social equal, breach the topic of money to fund the forthcoming election campaign.
Often, as McAlpine described these occasions, the victim would splutter and comment that even the Thatcher government was made up largely of ‘villains’. At which point McAlpine claims he’d say: ‘I rather agree with you. But have you looked at the other shower?’
This usually did the trick, although in 1987, McAlpine thought that something more brutal was required. He assembled what a friend described as a collection of Loony-Left literature, including ‘Labour-supporting, glad to be gay’ stuff. His idea was to mail it to selected tycoons along with an appeal for funds. McAlpine was warned that he might be prosecuted for sending pornography through the post. This so delighted him that he made it his business to spread the tale of Labour’s suspect supporters. In addition, he sent copies of the Labour manifesto to 200 leading industrialists. Money rolled in.

The following day, September 21, sees the ship in Cunard’s spiritual home, Liverpool, where the company was based from 1839 to 1967. QE2 will be one of the first ships to tie up at Liverpool’s new cruise ship terminal, due to be opened that day by His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent – who will come on board after the ceremony for lunch on QE2.
A spectacular highlight takes place that afternoon when there will be a magnificent Celebration Concert at the Anglican Cathedral, to be attended by all QE2 guests and local civic leaders. The concert, starring soprano Lesley Garrett, Scottish tenor Nicky Spence, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir, the Liverpool Cathedral Choir and the Band of the Scots Guards, will be a rousing mixture of patriotic and popular music guaranteed to stir the emotions. Tributes will be paid to QE2 by regular guests Sir Jimmy Savile and Carol Thatcher.
Baroness Margaret Thatcher (L) and her daughter Carol Thatcher depart the QE2 at Southhampton Docks on for a trans-Atlantic crossing to New York.

FINGERS IN THE PIE: Express chairman Victor Matthews (right) starts the first run of the Daily Star
LORD MATTHEWS (former head of Express Newspapers) and Lady Matthews celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary with 80 close friends at the Ritz Hotel, London, at the weekend.
In the picture with, them, cutting the cake are (left-to-right): Eric Parker, Reg Varney, Bill Cotton Jr, Jimmy Savile, Nlgel Broackes, Sir Douglas Bader, Lord George Brown, and Denis Compton.)
The cake was surrounded by 40 different motifs showing Lord and Lady Matthews’ various Interests in business and leisure.
Matthews, who according to the Independent newspaper was a natural Thatcherite and claimed to be the biggest individual donor to the Conservative Party after he had realised that you could give money in the name of a company rather than as an individual, died at his retirement home on JERSEY in December 1995.
So who’s who out of the above motley crew.
Mathews, Parker and Broackes were long time business partners. Tellingly, Broackes was one of Slaggy Thatchers favourites. Unsurprisingly, both Broackes and Parker were knighted by the Queen.
In 1995, all three were partners in the Trafalgar House conglomerate, which was part of the Jardine Matheson group, for whom Cameron was a ‘ship jumper’. Trafalgar was at that time a laughing stock, although, no doubt all manner of skulduggery was taking place:
The latest annual survey in Management Today of 250 top British firms slated Trafalgar as “Britain’s least admired company”. In a damning five out of nine categories – management, financial soundness, product quality, innovation and long-term investment value – Trafalgar ranked last against nine of its biggest peers.

Lord George Brown was a Labour Cabinet Minister in Harold Wilson’s Government.
Reg Varney was an English actor most famous for his role as Stan in the long running sit-com ‘On the buses’.
Denis Compton was a cricketer.
Sir Douglas Bader was a highly decorated fighter pilot.

Talk About A Tea Party! My Life Will Never Be The Same
By Jimmy Savile OBE
The Daily Express. Tuesday June 17th 1980
I struck the real jackpot when I met Victor Matthews.
IF the Government fastened a lead from Victor into the national electricity grid, he could run all the machines in Britain.
He gave me the Daily Express and one of his top BUILDING companies, Trollope and Colls, who will build the new unit for no profit. He runs the Cunard Line and the QE2, but I’ve not got round to borrowing that yet.
Victor Matthews has promised him full involvement – of the Express newspapers and, even more important, of the building components of the Trafalgar Group (Trollope and Colls and Cementation).’
Savie.…about the extent of his relationship with the royal family, and how he put it to use in persuading Victor Matthews, construction magnate and proprietor of the Daily Express , to come on board with the bid to rebuild the facilities at Stoke Mandeville.
I left his office and phoned the palace. I got the Duke of Edinburgh’s secretary to write a letter to him saying, “I understand you are going to help Jimmy Savile build Stoke Mandeville Hospital. This is a wonderful thing and will be much appreciated by the country. Philip.” ‘When I went round … to see the Duke of Edinburgh, he said, “The letter: it’s gone.” He said to me, “Do you know the geezer?” And I said, “No, never met him before in my life.”’ Savile told me he’d received a telephone call the very next day. Matthews told him that he’d got the letter and realised Savile had ‘put an arm up his back’. Matthews put it to Savile that he had dictated the letter. It was an accusation he didn’t deny. As
‘What was in it for him?’ Savile asked rhetorically, having polished off his eggs on toast. ‘Well, he was still a mister at the time. I’m not saying what I did was get him a title or anything like that but he finished up in the House of Lords.’ A dedicated Thatcherite, Matthews was indeed awarded a peerage by the prime minister towards the end Savile, given that he was now persona non grata with P&O.
The extent of Savile’s blossoming relationship with Prince Charles became clearer in the same note sent by Gerard Vaughan to the prime minister: ‘Even more encouraging, though again confidential at this stage, Jimmy Savile tells me that the Prince of Wales has agreed to be Patron of the Appeal.’ The relationship with Prince Charles was sanctioned and fostered by the Duke of Edinburgh who viewed Jimmy Savile as someone who might be useful for his eldest son
…in 1980, as Jimmy Savile was being feted by the prime minister and calling in favours from the Duke of Edinburgh, he was summoned by West Yorkshire Police to provide a cast of his teeth.
Bite marks had been found on the bodies of two victims of the Yorkshire Ripper, the serial killer then believed to be responsible for the murders of 11 women. The third

SIR Jimmy Savile has pulled off his own personal “fix it” by persuading the bosses of cruise liner Queen Mary 2 to sail it past his home and salute him.
Sir Jimmy, 78, will wave at the ship from the balcony of his flat in Scarborough when its whistle is sounded.
He was in Southampton six weeks ago to celebrate QM2’s introduction as flagship of the Cunard fleet. …
I have already seen Jimmy Savile OBE in a shell suit carrying a rucksack, Esther Rantzen asking a man in a long red cassock and carrying a crook who he was (“Madam, I am the Bishop of Wincester,” came the reply) and Angela Rippon’s famous legs, albeit clad in a trouser suit. Southampton football manager Gordon Strachan’s legs were far more impressive – he was wearing a kilt.
Last Thursday’s launch party was a chance for Cunard to entice its regulars and court new contacts. Among the throng of floor-length taffeta ballgowns and dinner jackets were John Prescott, Charles Kennedy, Valerie Singleton, Michael Burke, Mary Nightingale and Esther Rantzen.
We noted that Jimmy Savile (38 times QE 2 veteran) was sporting an NHS swipe card in the name of Al Pacino alongside his gongs.
Sir Jimmy Savile, OBE pictured aboard the Queen Elizabeth 2 during the liner’s 1992 world cruise.
The disc jockey and radio and TV personality was “Running around the world”, raising money for Stoke Mandeville and other charities.
Cruise company Cunard has cancelled plans for the latest addition to it’s fleet, the new Queen Elizabeth to pay tribute to the broadcaster. The liner had been due to sail past Scarborough, and Savile’s grave, at 15:00 BST on 1 August 2013.
Savile, who has been at the centre of numerous allegations of child abuse, was a frequent traveller with Cunard.
In January, a Cunard spokeswoman had described Savile as “a true friend of Cunard”. His last voyage was aboard Queen Elizabeth on her maiden Round Britain trip in September 2011, a month before his death. Savile died at the age of 84 on 29 October 2011 and was buried in Scarborough, where he had had a home for 40 years, a week later.
The allegations he had abused children were first aired in an ITV documentary on 3 October.
A senior Scotland Yard detective described Savile as a “predatory sex offender” who had a “predilection” for young girls.
Cunard Head of Public Relations Eric Flounders – close friend of Jimmy Savile
Eric joined Cunard as public relations manager in 1984, a post he held until he retired. He has given regular talks on the history of Cunard in schools, company seminars, universities, clubs, travel agents, Carnival UK Staff and societies as part of his public relations post for Cunard. He has lectured on board QE2 several times and was a local councillor for 16 years.
Cunard president and managing director Peter Shanks:
At the time of the sad passing of Sir Jimmy Savile I wrote a brief blog to say how much all of us at Cunard would miss him. He hailed from Scarborough – as does our Head of Public Relations Eric Flounders.Eric was a close friend of Sir Jimmy and he attended both the funeral and burial – both as a friend and to represent all of us at Cunard Line. As you can imagine being in Public Relations, Eric has a very special way with words and he has written of his experience up in Leeds and Scarborough and I want to share it with you all……
………………………………………
Thank you so much Eric. As a small tribute and to make sure Sir Jimmy remains special to Cunard, we have decided to place a framed picture of a smiling Sir Jimmy up in Churchills Cigar Lounge on each of our ships. He spent many hours with us in Churchills and we shall never forget him.
Savile (like many others) had a thing for Churchill
This framed image belonged to him and was sold as part of his estate.
Crowley, Fleming, Churchill, Royalty, MI5, MI6, MI7b, A.A. Milne, Pooh Bear and Ashdown ForestIf you go down to the woods today:…thefamous people gathering in Ashdown Forest to conduct a black magic ritual using an effigy of Rudolph Hess. They would later be joined by prominent members of the royal family as well as hundreds of British and Canadian soldiers all wearing black hooded robes over their uniforms. That is according to Amado Crowley, son of the Great Beast 666.
The revelations that A.A. Milne worked for MI7b during the First World War adds intrigue to the suggestions on the controversial series of blogs created on Blogger several years ago purported to be by former MI6 whistleblowers that many famous children’s authors and television programmes have been used by the spooks to shape the minds of children in a certain way, to enhance an agenda and to pass on coded messages to field agents through things like ISBN numbers and passages of published stories.
Whilst remaining highly sceptical of ‘ex’ intelligence and ‘former’ military viewpoints, particularly if the source is undisclosed we are able to investigate the negative space of such things that are unknown and also retrospectively evaluate information based on data as and when it becomes available.
The revelations that A.A. Milne, as well as the cream of English literature at the time, were covertly working for MI7b with the intention of quelling a popular uprising against the Great War in order to extend hostilities is a case in point. Children’s authors, journalists writers and even poets were doing the bidding of the war machine coordinated by military intelligence unit 7b according to dox not supposed to still exist but that recently turned up out of the blue having been found in the proverbial ‘skip’ or ‘great aunt’s attic’ (pre-internet anonymous drop-boxes or simply devices for the authorities to release files unofficially).
Arguably the Second World War, which was really a continuation of the First World War was different. The type of person working for SOE during the war were well aware if Hitler or indeed the Soviets conquered Britain their class would be wiped out. Their survival and Britain’s survival as a whole were co-dependent.
So what can we make of Milne and other writers employed by MI7b during the Great War to write propaganda with the aim of continuing one of the most futile and deadly wars in history against the wishes of the people? Were they made to think defeat in the war was a worse proposition than the continuation of the war itself?
According to a BBC News report
Mr Arter said MI7b was established to sustain support for the war at a crucial time when the numbers of soldiers killed were rising and social unrest threatened to undermine the military effort.
The unit’s stories were published by friendly newspaper proprietors and editors.
Notice too, obviously, how sections of the ‘free press’ were also compromised by ‘the war effort’.
In more recent times Ashdown Forest has also been linked to black magic sects who are alleged to have used the forest to conduct their own black mass rituals.
Nearby East Grinstead is the cult capital of Britain. The psycho-geography of this area of Southern England appears to have a mysterious attraction.
Ashdown-Forest-Pooh-Corner
A.A. Milne wrote the Pooh series of stories in Cotchford Farm in Ashdown Forest. This is also where The Rolling Stones Brian Jones was found dead in a swimming pool.
According to his son, Christopher Robin Milne, in his book ‘The Enchanted Places’ the reason his father left their home in Chelsea and moved to Hartfield was Ashdown Forest.
“Anyone who has read the stories knows the Forest and doesn’t need me to describe it. Pooh’s Forest and Ashdown Forest are identical.”
The Enchanted Places by Christopher Robin Milne
Operation Mistletoe
So what can we deduce from the apparent utilization of Aleister Crowley and Jimmy Savile during the Second World War by British Intelligence?
Does this give a hint as to why Savile was awarded the freedom of the UK after the war as well as an honorary green beret and explain Prince Charles cryptic note to Savile that read ‘Nobody will ever know what you have done for this country Jimmy’?
Much like Obi Wan Kenobe used black magic to control the mind of a storm-trooper at Mos Eisley spaceport, Djerba, Tunisia, in order to secure passage to the Alderaan system – was black magick used by the British … it would appear this included Crowley style magick and other forms of sorcery.
It is suggested the Nazi’s were scouring the earth for ancient artefacts including the Ark of the Covenant during the war so both the Allies and the Axis powers were trying to militarise magic to be used against each other.
If the account of the Magickal Battle of Britain at Ashdown Forest is based on fact was it a case of fighting fire with fire, with two negatives making a positive or was it simply darkness within darkness all contributing to the chaos of the times?
The imprisonment of Hess and his subsequent death is subject to further intrigue that will be the subject of a future post as it is beyond the scope of this document.
“So they went off together. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the Forest a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.”
Key paragraphs exposing Robert Boothby MP (later Lord Boothby of Buchan and Rattray Head) as a paedo:
“But once the Old Bailey trial of the Krays was over, people around them talked more freely, and I found out more about the curious relationship between Ronnie Kray and Robert Boothby. There was considerably more to it than I suspected.
Lord Boothby, Ronnie Kray and Leslie Holt
Not only did they share a love for teenage boys, which Ronnie Kray provided, but Boothby clearly had a fascination for dangerous company, coupled with a reckless disregard for its consequences. ”
“As well as boys there were East End orgies and sex shows involving criminals. One account described Boothby lying under a glass-topped table while boys were made to defecate above him. Another described him sitting naked in a room with a number of criminals and boys around him, and “love beads” protruding from his anus.”
“Only a few weeks earlier, two Conservative back-benchers had reported to the chief whip that they had seen Lord Boothby at a dog track importuning boys with none other than his friend Tom Driberg.”
If these allegations are true, it’s pretty clear that Robert Boothby was a paedo.
The article discusses Boothby’s friendship with paedo Tom Driberg MP, and also mentions how Boothby was saved from being exposed in the newspapers by the creepy Lord Arnold Goodman and Lord Gerald Gardiner QC.
Interestingly, Boothby was a Tory, whereas Arnold Goodman and Gerald Gardiner were Labour.
They blackmailed, intimidated and killed – for many years with impunity thanks to their powerful cronies in the Establishment. Working with all five main Mafia families in New York, they were expanding their business worldwide when they were imprisoned for murder in 1969. Just weeks before their trial, “the Firm” would move into sophisticated drugs. Ron knew someone in the Pakistani Embassy who could use his diplomatic immunity to bring heroin into Britain, and clearly saw this as only the beginning.
However the Krays held a dark and depraved secret. Ronnie Kray was an active homosexual paedophile who sexually abused many young teenage boys on an organised and huge scale in the 1950’s and edforce and had contacts with prominent members of parliament…
… great documentary on Ronnie Kray & Boothby with a great insight into press & political collusion.

I met Jimmy Savile many times. When I retired from journalism I was invited by Cunard to lecture aboard its liners. Savile was a regular feature on those ships too.He always travelled first class and for free. He boasted that he was so famous the QE2 couldn’t sail without him.Unlike other first-class passengers he refused to dress for dinner. Instead he wore his multi-coloured polyester shellsuits.Each evening after dinner he dragged a big red armchair, like a throne, into the carpeted corridor outside the casino where he sat smoking one of his eight-inch Havana cigars.After he was knighted he always wore his beautifully enamelled Order of Knighthood on a ribbon around his neck.http://www.express.co.uk/expressyourself/349976/The-disgusted-captain-who-threw-Jimmy-Savile-off-a-cruise-ship

Mark Thatcher files stay secret ‘to spare blushes on arms deal’
A Downing Street decision to refuse to release files relating to the controversial business affairs of Sir Mark Thatcher was condemned last night as ludicrous.
The papers concern his dealings with Oman, which caused a scandal for his mother when she was prime minister and led to him leaving Britain.
Under public records legislation, official files are released to the National Archives in Kew, west London, after 20 years unless there are specific reasons for them not to be disclosed.
The Pilgrims Society, founded on 16 July 1902, is a British-American society
Shultz was a Pilgrim, Weinberger a Pilgrims executive, and Helms was a Pilgrim through his brother and father. Arguably all three, not just Helms, were CIA.
The latest release includes two files entitled “Cementation contract: Mark Thatcher and the Omanis” covering the period from 1981-88. They are listed as being retained for 65 years, meaning that they will not be released until 2053.
Jonathan Denby’s $133k bribe was small fry compared with the $5m Iran could potentially recover. So what was the damaged cargo, pray?
That said, though, they were ‘only’ expecting to recover $3m!
Now why would Barbara Hewson’s cousin Denby pay the Callaghans £500 (several £k by today’s standards) to leave country. What is he hiding?
Why would Denby ask a Mr Palmer to transfer the ownership of Euro Shipping Ltd. to him?
And why did Palmer receive payment for this favour?
Mmmh, our Jonathan obviously lied about the existence of a numbered bank account in the Denby v. Iran case.
The bank itself wrote: On confirmation we are prepared to credit P.J. Denby account number XXXXY.
Why did Denby say that Euro Shipping Ltd owned 50% of his house called Seascape which he owned with his brother. Would Ginny know?

Intrigued as I am by unusual names, my interest was naturally piqued when I stumbled across a man by the name of John Chance Palmer of Chancery Lane overlooking the Law Society, … Sir John no less!
John Chance Palmer was the son of the Parliamentary Correspondent of the News Chronicle. He was also a contemporary of Edward Heath at Oxford and, like Heath, a bit of a sailor, gaining a Sailing Blue.
In 1978/79, John Chance Palmer was president of the Law Society, successor to Richard Denby, uncle of convicted criminal Jonathan Denby, with whom he ran a legal practice, and the barrister Barbara Hewson, most famous for her car-crash C4 interview.
In 1981/82, John Chance Palmer, a close friend of Lord Denning, was a member of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board. Further members around the same time were Barbara Hewson/Jonathan Denby uncle Richard Denby and Alun Talfan Davies (1976/85).

North Wales operated in west Wales throughout the years that Alun Talfan Davies practised as a barrister. Two weeks later five witnesses to the abuse of children in care in north Wales were killed by fire caused by a petrol bomb. The man who allegedly confessed to starting the fire was found dead days later.
One man who survived claimed that victims of the paedophile gang in north Wales were being murdered – he was later found dead after having given evidence, days before he was due to receive a payment from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board.
At the time of the police raids in Wrexham the Home Secretary was Kenneth Baker and the Secretary of State for Health was William Waldegrave. At the time of the arson attack which killed the five witnesses, Ken Clarke was HS and the SofSt for Health was Virginia Bottomley.

John Chance Palmer had extremely strong sailing connections: He was chairman of trustees for the London Sailing Project, a charity that takes disadvantaged children on sailing holidays. He was also involved with cadets. He was also an early member of the Tiverton Sea Cadet Unit, where he served as chairman. Also: – President of Shaldon Regatta – Trustee of James Myatt Memorial Trust (patron Prince Michael) – Member of the Royal Yacht Squadron and Royal Naval Sailing Association.
Palmer was selected to succeed Derick Heathcoat-Amory in the commons but declined. The nephew of Derick Heathcoat-Amory is of course David Heathcote-Amory, one of the funders of Proctor’s shirt shop. Proctor was best mates with Jonathan Denby and both were aides to Enoch Powell.
Indeed, Sir Richard Denby, uncle to Barbara Hewson and Jonathan Denby, seems also the have had a very fine working relationship with Heathcoat-Amory:
John Palmer also seems to have been exceedingly close to the Heathcote-Amorys. He was a trustee of their charitable trust and presided over grants to the NSPCC and Tiverton Girl Guides:
now that we have established that the Denbys, particularly ‘Sir’ Richard Denby, Barbara Hewson’s uncle, were very close to John Chance Palmer,… consider my next question:
In the Denby v. Iran court case it came to light that a large sum of money was transferred to Euro Shipping Ltd, a part of which was siphoned off to buy a property called Seascape. Denby then transferred this company for safekeeping to a Mr. Palmer.
Was the Mr. Palmer who assisted Jonathan Denby in concealing some of the proceeds of Denby’s criminal Iran deal in fact Sir John Chance Palmer, like Richard Denby president of the Law Society? And who would have doubted such an honourable man?
Because if Sir John Chance Palmer did Jonathan Denby a favour, perhaps on the intervention of his good friend Sir Richard Denby, we have one president of the Law Society obstructing the course of justice and aiding and abetting the criminal nephew of another law society president
Oh, and don’t forget, David Napley, Proctor’s solicitor (when he wasn’t being represented by his camp buddy Jonathan Denby) was also president of the Law Society, just prior to John Palmer and Richard Denby:

Weinberger was indicted on several felony charges of lying to the FBI stemming from the investigations into the Iran/Contra Affair, though in 1992 he was given an official pardon by President George H W Bush.
After leaving the Pentagon, Weinberger became publisher and chairman of Forbes magazine, where over the next decade he wrote frequently on defence and national security issues.
Weinberger was a trustee of the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust, and was co-chairman of the Winston Churchill Travelling Fellowships Foundation.
Harvey Proctor was lifelong friends with an ardent Republican supporter, Wylma Wayne –
They went to several fundraising events together.
Wylma Wayne was a valued friend of Lady Sarah Churchill.
Her art gallery specialised in Rembrandt etchings and Churchill paintings. She visited Belvoir and Proctor buried her ashes there.
Harvey Proctor spent a wonderful evening at the American embassy in Grosvenor Square on the night of Reagan’s first presidential victory. (1980)
From Proctor’s memoir:
Another friend who visited Belvoir was Wylma Wayne, Terry’s art dealer friend. She had continually featured in my life as a friend.
She lived at times in Arlington House near to one of the Rutland’s historic houses, and the Ritz Hotel.
At other times, Wylma lived in Catherine Place, Victoria, by the other side of Buckingham Palace. When she died, all her belongings were taken swiftly to the United States by her famliy, but not her remains.(?!)
A small group of us buried her on Thanksgiving Day in 2013 on the Belvoir estate
Lady Sarah was thrilled to tell Curtis that the very exclusive, Wilma Wayne Gallery, on Old Bond Street, had just sold one of his prints (War Child) for £10,000, which was an enormous amount, over 30 years ago, for a single print from a living artist, which also meant that the complete editions were selling for millions.
Later, Curtis went to the Wilma Wayne Gallery, and Wilma was delighted to tell Curtis that it was Elizabeth Taylor who purchased it for her art collection.
Lady Sarah, from time to time, would come back to the United States to Curtis’s studio where they would both hand sign their pencil signatures. They always did the signing and numbering together to make sure each edition was complete and authentic. Later, due to her increasing health problems, Curtis took some of the final editions he had just created, to England, so she could co-sign them. However, on his last visit, it took her a long time to sign, and so he left her a few final prints. Sadly, she passed away not long after. Sometime after her death, her sister, Lady Mary Soames, invited Curtis to tea at her home in London, where she gave Curtis the final few prints that Lady Sarah had managed to co-sign before she died. (Curtis still has those in his collection).
Some time later, Curtis was commissioned to create a painting of Queen Elizabeth II and was asked to take a portfolio of works to Buckingham Palace for the Queen to see. Knowing the Queen was a great admirer of Sir Winston Churchill, he included a selection from the Churchill series, a study of the “Democracy” painting, as well as some other works. Her Majesty took them to Windsor Castle for the weekend, to look them over. She was pleased with the work and Curtis was informed, a few days later, that the Queen would pose for him at Buckingham Palace for the new government commission.

In Plain Sight: the Life and Lies of Jimmy Savile
A little further along was another signed photograph. It was of Savile’s hero, Winston Churchill. One of Savile’s friends later told me that the way he held his cigar was directly copied from Churchill.
In 1965, Savile had queued up for hours to see the body of the great wartime leader lying in state at Westminster. ‘This one here is one of the only pictures of Winston Churchill that’s signed by him,’ he said proudly.
‘Now, his daughter Mary wanted me to do her a favour and I said, “OK, get me a signed photo of your Dad.” She said he didn’t sign anything so I said, “Tough. No favour.” She said, “Leave it with me”.’
He opened the glass door of the cabinet and removed the small, signed photograph. ‘Look what it says on the back.
“Jimmy Savile. From Mary Soames. My thanks and in memory of someone we both admired.”’
Quite the favour, that Jimmy Savile was doing for Mary Soames

Pedophile Andrew Boeckman ex Eton Public School with a millionaire lawyer dad MADE CSA images of small children but escaped jail or the proceeds of crime
Pedophile Andrew Boeckman who was tried under the false name of Andrew Picard
Eton College student, Andrew Boeckman was ‘caught with more than 2,000 indecent images of children which he MADE. He encouraged youngsters to strip for him on a webcam’ … Children as young as 2 were filmed raped by dogs. But he was spared jail, not put on the sexual offences register, not investigated under the proceeds of crime act and :-
Pedophile Andrew Boeckman was tried under the false name of Andrew Picard by an agreement with the Police and the Crown Prosecution service and the Court in order to protect him and his family from exposure. Why you may ask? Isn’t it a criminal offence to be tried under a false name? because Andrew Boeckman had a rich dad who was part of the so exclusive legal fraternity.
The only shock here is that they charged him at all. Perhaps they were unable to avoid it!
Andrew’s Father Philip Boeckman is a partner in the firm CRAVATH, SWAINE & MOORE LLP earning a staggering figure of more than one million pounds a year. Philip Boeckman is a bankers lawyer getting then out of jams and arranging million pound deals.
The ‘Firm’ has other pedophile connections. Another of their top rich lawyers is also a convicted pedophile.
His pedophile son is a former Eton student who made and distributed more than 2,000 ‘appalling’ indecent images of children from his computer in his college bedroom has been spared jail.
News reports say:- “Andrew Picard, from Westminster, London, was found with thousands of pornographic images of children on his computer at the prestigious college near Windsor.
The 18-year-old was caught when he shared material with an undercover police officer through a chat room. Picard was arrested at Eton after his IP address was traced to the school.
He admitted ten counts of child pornography and was given a ten-month prison term, suspended for 18 months, at Oxford Crown Court on Thursday.
He was let off jail after his work with doctors in the past year to address his offending was taken into consideration.” We say:- What a complete load of bullshit. His dad paid for expensive doctors so the pervert escapes justice.
Boeckman had made indecent images of youngsters and shared them via chat messages on Skype in January and February last year. He made CSA images of children. The clips were SO APPALLING that Judge Peter Ross could not bring himself to describe them.
Before moving to Eton College, Andrew Boeckman and his siblings attended the £17,000 per annum Upper Latymer School in Hammersmith. (Their parents Philip and Erin Boeckman are named in the following report.)

1978: MPs Successfully Campaign For The Release Of Sadistic Paedophile William Pate.
I wonder what the names are of the ‘all-party group of MPs’ who campaigned for the release of paedophile William Pate ? Convicted of horrific crimes against children, and despite doctors at Broadmoor believing him to be ‘a danger and not fit for release’, the campaign was successful. In 1984 he was convicted yet again for paedophilia and ‘sadistic homosexual practices’ after imprisoning a young boy for 12 hours and abusing him.
I think it is a reasonable question to ask which MPs campaigned for his release, don’t you?
Mr. Christopher Price
Chris Price MP“I am disappointed that the Government do not intend to change the law in regard to section 65. There are times when one’s civil rights could be more greatly eroded by being called a patient than a prisoner. Along with the hon. Member for Chertsey and Walton (Mr. Pattie), I recently took the case of William Pate to the Ministry. That case has had a lot of publicity and there is no harm in mentioning the name. Had this man been convicted of the offence with which he was charged, he could not have been in custody for more than two and a half years. He has been in custody for nine years and it is difficult to transfer him even now to a less secure unit. He is being kept in custody because he had the misfortune to be sent to a hospital instead of a prison.”Two and a half years for kidnapping and raping children!dpack

Mr. Christopher Price
He was the son of Stanley Price, a pioneering educational administrator who helped introduce the first large-scale day-release schemes in Britain. His mother, Katherine Thornton, was the daughter of a remarkable Wesleyan missionary Alfred Saville, who became loved by the people of Huahine Island near Tahiti. In 1982 Price visited to receive an independence medal awarded to him by the islanders in recognition of his grandfather’s missionary service and his grandmother’s kindnesses to the Polynesian women. Price’s sister Helen Jackson, MP for Sheffield Hillsborough (1992-2005)
Praise came from an unexpected quarter: Sir Keith Joseph, Leeds MP and former education minister, said to me, “your friend is doing really good work, bringing into higher education many of those whose parents left school at 14. I had doubts about his appointment; now I admire what he is achieving.”
One of his greatest achievements, working initially with the National Council for Civil Liberties, was to secure the re-opening of a 1972 case on the murder of Maxwell Confait
Price made his name as a civil liberties campaigner over the imprisonment of a constituent, Colin Lattimore, for the 1972 murder of Maxwell Confait, a homosexual transvestite found strangled in his blazing bedsitter. Two other youths were convicted; Lattimore had confessed, but Price reckoned he had a cast-iron alibi and persuaded the home secretary, Roy Jenkins, to review the case.
In 1975 the Lord Chief Justice ordered Lattimore’s release. A judicial inquiry concluded that his confession to arson was probably true, but that the other youths had persuaded him falsely to admit the killing.
In 1980 the Attorney-General, Sir Michael Havers, declared all three men innocent of the murder.
Price’s ties to the New Statesman involved him in a second cause célèbre: the “ABC” trial of 1978, which greatly embarrassed the Callaghan government. Crispin Aubrey of Time Out, Duncan Campbell of the New Statesman and former Cpl John Berry of the Royal Signals were tried for breaching the Official Secrets Act. “Colonel B”, an intelligence officer not identified in court, was the main witness; three periodicals named him, prompting contempt proceedings from the Attorney-General, Sam Silkin.
Sensing an attack on free speech, Price and three other Labour MPs earned a rebuke from the Chair by naming “Colonel B” in the Commons. All three accused were convicted, and given minimal sentences. Price launched a campaign to reform the Act, which Clement Freud took up after winning the ballot for Private Members’ time; his Bill fell with the defeat of the Labour government.
Price sought an emergency debate when Harriet Harman, legal officer to the National Council for Civil Liberties, lost her appeal to the Lords against her contempt of court conviction for allowing a journalist to see confidential Home Office documents disclosed to her in a legal action.
Price chaired the New Statesman in 1994-95. He was alsochairman of the National Youth Bureauand Yorkshire Arts; co-chairman of the Freedom of Information Campaign and a member of the Arts Council.
He was one of the MPs who, in November 1979, enabled Margaret Thatcher, by then prime minister, to reveal that Sir Anthony Blunt, the art historian who was Surveyor of the Queen’s Pictures, had been, with Philby, Burgess and Maclean, a member of the Cambridge spy ring in the Thirties and Forties. Blunt was named after Price tabled questions in the Commons about the case.
He was also vice-chairman of the Conservative Party in 1990[10]
From 1959 through 1966, he served with the Queen’s Royal Rifles (now 4th Royal Green Jackets TA) and achieved the rank of Captain. He is currently serving as Honorary Colonel of the 4th Royal Green Jackets since January 1996.[11]
Business
Sir Geoffrey was a director at advertising agency Collett Dickenson Pearce from 1966 until 1979, as managing director from 1969 to 1973. During the 1990s he held several senior marketing positions in companies belonging to GEC plc, including Marconi Defence Systems and was Marketing Director of the group itself from 1997-99.[5] He is currently the senior partner of government relations consultancy Terrington Management. He is also President of Strategic Communication Laboratories, a strategic communications company.

The great British Brexit robbery: how our democracy was hijacked
A shadowy global operation involving big data, billionaire friends of Trump and the disparate forces of the Leave campaign influenced the result of the EU referendum. As Britain heads to the polls again, is our electoral process still fit for purpose?
May 7 2017
What’s been lost in the US coverage of this “data analytics” firm is the understanding of where the firm came from: deep within the military-industrial complex. A weird British corner of it populated, as the military establishment in Britain is, by old-school Tories. Geoffrey Pattie, a former parliamentary under-secretary of state for defence procurement and director of Marconi Defence Systems, used to be on the board, and Lord Marland, David Cameron’s pro-Brexit former trade envoy, a shareholder.
Steve Tatham was the head of psychological operations for British forces in Afghanistan. The Observer has seen letters endorsing him from the UK Ministry of Defence, the Foreign Office and Nato.
SCL/Cambridge Analytica was not some startup created by a couple of guys with a Mac PowerBook. It’s effectively part of the British defence establishment. And, now, too, the American defence establishment. An ex-commanding officer of the US Marine Corps operations centre, Chris Naler, has recently joined Iota Global, a partner of the SCL group.
This is not just a story about social psychology and data analytics. It has to be understood in terms of a military contractor using military strategies on a civilian population. Us. David Miller, a professor of sociology at Bath University and an authority in psyops and propaganda, says it is “an extraordinary scandal that this should be anywhere near a democracy. It should be clear to voters where information is coming from, and if it’s not transparent or open where it’s coming from, it raises the question of whether we are actually living in a democracy or not.”
Spencer Lee Batiste (born 5 June 1945) was the British Conservative MP for Elmet from 1983 until his 1997 defeat by Labour’s Colin Burgon. He served as Parliamentary Private Secretary to Lord Trefgarne, Sir Geoffrey Pattie and, latterly, for European Commissioner and former Home Secretary Sir Leon Brittan. After this, he was employed as an immigration adjudicator for the Immigration Appellate Authority and later a chairman of the Immigration Appeal Tribunal which later became the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal.

Holloway Prison
HC Deb 13 May 1983 vol 42 c511W 511W
§ Mr. Christopher Price
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement about the exclusion of the head of the education department by the governor of Holloway prison from that institution on the grounds that he was in contact with a former inmate; and what is his policy about such contacts.
§ Mr. Mellor
As part of their general responsibilities for assisting prisoners in preparing for release prison education officers sometimes maintain contact with former prisoners after release. But under rule 81 of the Prison Rules they are required to make the governor aware of such contacts, and it is open to the governor to prohibit them if in the particular case he considers it advisable to do so in the interests of good order and discipline. I understand that in the case to which the hon. Member refers the governor considered it necessary to prohibit contact by the education officer with a particular prisoner and instructed him to give a formal written assurance that he would comply with that instruction. When the education officer failed to give that asssurance the governor requested his employer, the Inner London Education Authority, to withdraw him from the prison pending a formal hearing of the case as provided under his conditions of service.

Sir Keith Joseph, seated next to Margaret Thatcher. Thatcher later referred to Joseph as her closest political friend
In July 2014, Joseph was named by former activist, Anthony Gilberthorpe, as one of a number of senior Conservative Party politicians who he had seen having sex with boys at cocaine-fuelled romps, in private rooms at seaside conferences. Gilberthorpe claimed he handed a 40-page dossier to Margaret Thatcher, in 1989, detailing Cabinet ministers who took part in the sex parties but says he was warned off by William Hague and a senior civil servant.
Social Services
In opposition, Joseph was spokesman on Social Services, and then on Labour under Edward Heath. He was one of twelve founder members of the NCSWD, the National Council for Single Woman and Her Dependants on 15 December 1965. According to Tim Cook in his book The History of the Carers’ Movement, he and Sally Oppenheim were critical in raising funds from the Carnegie Trust and other organisations, which enabled the carers movement to succeed and thrive through their formative years.
Trade spokesman
Despite Joseph’s reputation as a right-winger, Heath promoted him to Trade spokesman in 1967
Price & Peter Morrison re: arrangements for looking after children
§ Mr. Christopher Price
asked the Secretary of State for Employment what general guidance he has given to the Manpower Services Commission over the training of women with children and the provision of child care facilities in training centres.
§ Mr. Peter Morrison
I have approved the commission’s plans for the training for women wishing to return to work. I have also made clear my view that before218W a person of either sex responsible for looking after children embarks upon a course of trifling at public expense, it needs to be established what arrangements can be made for looking after the children, not only during the training but also in subsequent employment.

Bush Pardons 6 in Iran Affair, Aborting a Weinberger Trial; Prosecutor Assails ‘Cover-Up’
December 25, 1992
Bush Pardons 6 in Iran Affair, Aborting a Weinberger Trial; Prosecutor Assails ‘Cover-Up’
ix years after the arms-for-hostages scandal began to cast a shadow that would darken two Administrations, President Bush today granted full pardons to six former officials in Ronald Reagan’s Administration, including former Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger.Mr. Weinberger was scheduled to stand trial on Jan. 5 on charges that he lied to Congress about his knowledge of the arms sales to Iran and efforts by other countries to help underwrite the Nicaraguan rebels, a case that was expected to focus on Mr. Weinberger’s private notes that contain references to Mr. Bush’s endorsement of the secret shipments to Iran.In one remaining facet of the inquiry, the independent prosecutor, Lawrence E. Walsh, plans to review a 1986 campaign diary kept by Mr. Bush. Mr. Walsh has characterized the President’s failure to turn over the diary until now as misconduct.Decapitated Walsh EffortsBut in a single stroke, Mr. Bush swept away one conviction, three guilty pleas and two pending cases, virtually decapitating what was left of Mr. Walsh’s effort, which began in 1986.Mr. Walsh bitterly condemned the President’s action, charging that “the Iran-contra cover-up, which has continued for more than six years, has now been completed.”Mr. Walsh directed his heaviest fire at Mr. Bush over the pardon of Mr. Weinberger, whose trial would have given the prosecutor a last chance to explore the role in the affair of senior Reagan officials, including Mr. Bush’s actions as Vice President.‘Evidence of Conspiracy’Mr. Walsh hinted that Mr. Bush’s pardon of Mr. Weinberger and the President’s own role in the affair could be related. For the first time, hecharged that Mr. Weinberger’s notes about the secret decision to sell arms to Iran, a central piece of evidence in the case against the former Pentagon chief, included “evidence of a conspiracy among the highest ranking Reagan Administration officials to lie to Congress and the American public.”The prosecutor charged that Mr. Weinberger’s efforts to hide his notes may have “forestalled impeachment proceedings against President Reagan” and formed part of a pattern of “deception and obstruction.” On Dec. 11, Mr. Walsh said he discovered “misconduct” in Mr. Bush’s failure to turn over what the prosecutor said were the President’s own “highly relevant contemporaneous notes, despite repeated requests for such documents.”The notes, in the form of a campaign diary that Mr. Bush compiled after the elections in November 1986, are in the process of being turned over to Mr. Walsh, who said, “In light of President Bush’s own misconduct, we are gravely concerned about his decision to pardon others who lied to Congress and obstructed official investigations.”
Reagan’s secretary of defense from 1981 to 1987, Caspar Weinberger, was a Pilgrims Society executive. Then again, despite not having a traditional Eastern Establishment background, Weinberger was very much devoted to the Anglo-American cause. He also came from Bechtel, where he served under Reagan’s secretary of state and fellow-Pilgrim, George Shultz.
Remember that inquiry that William Hague ordered into NWales abuse? A court of law has – yet again – exposed its abject failure to uncover the truth. Now why would an inquiry miss not just one, but numerous offenders?!

Napley, by the by, worked for several prominent figures caught up in sex scandals.
They included former leader of the Liberal party Jeremy Thorpe, Conservative MP Harvey Proctor, and diplomat Sir Peter Hayman, a member of the Paedophile Information Exchange, a 1970s lobby group dedicated to legalising sex with children.

Trans World Communications was the investment vehicle of businessman Owen Oyston. It operated radio stations and played a part in the Miss World Beauty Pageant.

And her husband, a judge in KENYA liked a bit of VICE….
News of the World 17 July 1988
“The News of the World carried an article about Butler-Sloss’s husband.
Under the front-page headlines “Cleveland Judge Sex Scandal” and “Dame’s randy spouse frolics with vice girls” was an article reporting that he was a judge in Kenya and was ‘associating’ with prostitutes.”
Over a curried-chicken lunch in the Kenyan capital, the white-haired judge admitted paying for sex at Nairobi’s notorious Starlight Club.
He confessed in a taped conversation:
“It’s not really the done thing for judges to be seen in those places, but I enjoyed myself quite often. There are other places now, but I really can’t go there. There are lots of girls and they will gather around.
“It’s not at all expensive. You pay 300 Kenyan shillings (£10) and they ask you for ten bob (30p) for the white man.
“I can’t take girls to my home because it would create a scandal. You have to go to a hotel. They offer to take you to their place, but you have to be careful.“
Of the AIDS risk, he said: “You have to take some precautions, but the girls are very nice.”
Butler-Sloss listed some of the perks of his Kenya job.
“I am supplied with a car and a driver,” he said.
“This means you can go to a party and come home rolling drunk and be bundled into your bed.”
Most judges in Kenya are paid £6,000 a year. But those appointed from overseas receive a £20,000 supplement.
“I was appointed n England so I can be quite independent,” said Butler-Sloss.
Charisma.
“When I’m told my time is up, I’ll just go.”
A Nairobi court colleague of Butler-Sloss told of the frisky judge’s trips to clubs.
“He has a lot of charisma, and the girls seem to like him very much,” the colleague said.
“He’s white and a High Court judge, so that makes it easier.
“He’s here without his wife, but I’ve seen him when she comes.
“The wife comes through the front door and his girls go out the back.
“He is very discreet with her around because he doesn’t want scandal.”
Joseph Butler-Sloss, a High Court judge working in Nairobi, Kenya, has confessed that he regularly pays for sex with local hookers.
His Honour, 61, who has been married to Dame Elizabeth for 30 years, admitted: “I rather like prostitutes. I like them in England and I like them here.
“You pay your money and you get what you want. There is no humbug. They are some of the most honest people you meet.
“They are very nice. They treat you well.”
Butler-Sloss, a former Midlands circuit judge, was appointed to the Kenya High Court in 1984.“
“I don’t get lonely for my wife,” he said. “She comes here on holidays at Christmas and Easter.“
“I’ll go on until I’m rumbled. I love the weather and the lifestyle.”
His wife Dame Elizabeth, 54, is Britain’s first and only woman Appeal Court Judge. She is the sister of former Attorney General Lord Havers, TV cad Nigel’s father.
She was appointed to head the Cleveland child abuse probe by Health Minister Tony Newton with the full backing of Mrs. Thatcher.
The Premier is one of her greatest admirers.
Dame Elizabeth lives at the marital home, a farmhouse in six acres near Exeter, where her hunting husband served as joint master of the East Devon Foxhounds.
The couple – who have two grown-up sons and a daughter – also own a London flat.
Lady Butler-Sloss criticised for giving evidence for defence in child rape trial
Retired high court judge also gave character evidence in 2007 assault trial of Philip Chard, who was convicted this month of raping 13-year-old girl
24 August 2015
A prominent retired high court judge, who specialised in family matters, has been criticised for giving evidence for the defence in the case of a man accused of raping a girl – though she knew he had a previous conviction for violence.
Lady Butler-Sloss, a former president of the high court’s family division and now a working peer, had told a jury she was astonished by the allegations against Philip Chard, the son of her long-serving cleaner. Despite her evidence, Chard was convicted of raping a 13-year-old girl and faces a long jail term.
Since then, the Guardian has learned that Butler-Sloss gave character evidence supportive of Chard at another trial eight years ago when he was accused of assaulting a man while working as a nightclub bouncer. Chard was also convicted for that offence, but on that occasion escaped being sent to prison.
Chard’s victim from the 2007 case and his family have expressed anger that Butler-Sloss, who last year stepped down as chair of the independent historical child abuse inquiry, was again prepared to apparently back him in court. Daniel Potter, who sustained a broken jaw in the nightclub attack, said: “She is someone who is very high up. It seems like she has tried to help him twice.”
Potter’s father, Steven, who was in court when Butler-Sloss gave her character evidence, said he had been surprised at the time she had testified given how violent the attack was. “It was strange to see this very powerful person supporting someone who had acted like this. The CCTV made it clear what had happened. Now she’s stood up in court again and tried to help him. I can’t understand it.”
Butler-Sloss was appointed by the government to chair the child sex abuse inquiry but she stood down after it was claimed that there was a conflict of interest because her brother, the late Sir Michael Havers, was attorney general during the 1980s – one of the periods that is to be examined by the panel.
Butler-Sloss said she had known Chard for 20 years because his mother, Valerie, was her cleaner at her home in east Devon. Chard, from Lympstone, near Exmouth in Devon, often took his mother to Butler-Sloss’s farmhouse home and sometimes stayed there for a couple of hours.
Butler-Sloss also said she knew that Chard went shooting and she had acted as a referee for his gun licence.
Baroness Butler-Sloss is a church-going Anglican. In 2002, she chaired the Crown Appointments charged with the selection of a new Archbishop of Canterbury.
Hewson was a founder-member of the Association of Women Barristers (AWB) in 1991.[8] The same year, Hewson was elected to the Bar Council of England & Wales. As Press Officer for the AWB, she became known for commenting on a range of issues concerning women and the law in national media.
BARBARA Hewson’s first few days as chair of the Association of Women Barristers couldn’t have been more tempestuous.
She is angry at the way her claim that “a number” of CLE students were promised pupillages in return for sexual favours was seized upon by the national media.
But she will inevitably be accused of naivete by some for failing to appreciate the explosive nature of her claims. Nobody seriously believes senior barristers make a habit of offering pupillages in exchange for sex. But who would have thought the Law Society would continue to back John Young as its president-in-waiting after reports of sexual harassment it viewed as “disturbing”?
It’s not just the abusers that need to be exposed. It’s their collaborators and useful idiots in the media who have promoted “witch hunt”, “moral panic” and “false memory” victim blaming for decades.

It would appear that most those accusing victims of ‘false memory syndrome’ are ‘false reporters’ or ‘friend(s) of the perpetrator(s)’.
British False Memory Foundation
Ralph Underwager was a member of the foundation’s scientific advisory board in 1993 when his comments from a 1991 article in Paidika: The Journal of Paedophilia came to public awareness. The article contained statements which were interpreted as supportive of paedophilia.[17][18][19]

Former chairman of the West Yorkshire Police Authority had a ‘library of child abuse images’
Neil Taggart – who is also former Lord Mayor of Leeds – has been sent to prison for 32 months
4 July 2017
Neil Taggart, 65, a city councillor for more than 30 years and also former Lord Mayor of Leeds was also chairman of the West Yorkshire Police Authority between 1998 and 2003.
Leeds Crown Court heard officers executed a search warrant at his home in Garforth, Leeds on September 23 last year while he and his family were abroad on holiday.
They seized a desktop computer, five hard drives and two USB memory sticks on which more than 35,000 indecent images had been downloaded.
Files recovered also showed he had shared some of the images with other perverts and chatted online and in phone calls with some of them.
aggart admitted three charges of making indecent images of children, three of distributing indecent images, one charge of possessing prohibited images and one of possessing extreme pornography.
Anthony Dunne, prosecuting, said 5,488 images including 856 movies were found at Category A, the most serious involving adults and children as young as four and one involving a baby aged eight to 12 months.
There were also 4,580 still and moving images at category B and 25,935 at Category C. Also found were 30 images involving adults and animals classified as extreme pornography and 431 indecent computer images, some dating back to 2010. Deleted data suggested it might have gone back to 2007.
Jailing Taggart, Judge Robin Mairs said his offending had gone on for a prolonged period.
He said: “Behind those arithmetical totals the reality was this, they were children, pre-pubescent children, one was a baby eight to 12 months,…Girls described as aged four to six years of age.”
He said some of the children were shown in pain, in distress, restrained or gagged.
Taggart acknowledge his “deviant sexual interest” in looking at images.Taggart became Lord Mayor of Leeds in 2003.

Evidence is mounting that the DJ wielded worrying influence over West Yorkshire Police
The Flying Pizza and his nearby penthouse apartment overlooking Roundhay Park were, until his death two years ago, the centre of Savile’s Leeds empire. He would swan in at least once every few weeks, boasting to regulars of his celebrity status. It was like he had the “keys to the city”, one recalls. What seemed at the time like mere celebrity bragging is now known to be much, much worse.
…the extent to which the police appeared to have enabled Savile to claim he was untouchable. A retired Leeds policeman has claimed that “there wasn’t a copper in the city who didn’t know Savile was a pervert”.
The ex-Leeds City Police officer, speaking under the alias Paul Leonard, said that in 1965 he had come across Savile’s Rolls-Royce parked in a secluded lay-by near Roundhay Golf Club. The then DJ and fledgling television presenter reportedly warned: “I’m waiting for midnight when she turns 16… so p–s off if you want to keep your job.” After reporting the incident to a sergeant, Leonard says he was told: “Shut up, son. He’s got friends in high places.”
The serial paedophile told detectives he had not done anything wrong in 83 years and boasted of “senior police persons” who came to visit him every week at his flat in Leeds in what was known as the “Friday morning club”.
The influence Savile claimed to wield over the police is shocking, but was no secret at the Flying Pizza, where the TV presenter would talk of his “hotline” to officers. “He used to come in here on his own and talk about the Friday meetings,” says Francis, a 63-year-old retired doorman who knew Savile well from the late Sixties onwards.
At least eight West Yorkshire Police officers are thought to have attended Savile’s Friday morning clubs, which ran for almost 20 years. Inspector Starkey and Matthew Appleyard, a sergeant serving in Wetherby police station, were previously named as members by Savile’s biographer. Neither could be reached for comment yesterday. West Yorkshire Police will not release the names or ranks of the other officers who are known to have attended.
Speaking for the first time, he says: “He used to take great delight in telling people that if he had any problems, his friends at Millgarth [the former city centre West Yorkshire Police headquarters] would sort it out. He would say: ‘If I think I’ve got a problem, all I’ve got to do is make a phone call.’ ”
Francis’s friend Steve, who was also a doorman, recalls: “He would say it specifically to us because he knew what we did for our jobs. Basically, he had the keys to the city.”
It is known that Savile made a number of financial contributions to charities linked to West Yorkshire Police.
At one point the force invited him to be the voice of a new anti-burglary campaign.
Savile’s behaviour were mishandled a number of times, includingin 1998 when West Yorkshire police failed to properly record an anonymous letter that made sexual abuse allegations about the late Top of the Pops host.
The letter was forwarded by a Metropolitan police officer from its clubs and vice unit, who told Operation Newgreen that it was “common knowledge within the team in the late 1980s and early 1990s that Savile was a paedophile”.
On one occasion in 1983, Savile attended a monthly official lunch at Millgarth with six senior officers and guests who included judges, barristers and business leaders.He tried to dominate the conversation and “hold court”
The incident is mentioned in an internal report compiled by West Yorkshire Police into Savile’s relationship with the force, which is currently being assessed by the IPCC.
“This would have been approximately 1983. These lunches were held monthly at Millgarth police station in Leeds, with a cooked lunch being served to a group consisting of six senior officers and six invited high profile local people.
He stated that his guests included the Bishop of Leeds, the regional head of British Telecom, Judges, barristers, local heads of business, and on one occasion Jimmy Savile. The retired officer stated that Savile `held court` and dominated conversations.”
4.4 In the past, members of the WYP Officers Mess6 would arrange dinner events that were funded by current and retired officers and often invite an external guest speaker to provide a personal view on issues linked to policing.
In March 1998, Savile was invited to attend one of the evenings and he gave a speech on his business interests in Northern Ireland and his upbringing in Leeds. He also spoke about how he felt policing had changed since his youth.
He did not receive any payment for attending the evening but he was provided with transport home by one of the Assistant Chief Constables (now retired).
4.5 Savile made financial contributions to a number of charitable causes linked to WYP, an example being the fund started after the tragic murder of PC Ian Broadhurst in 2003 to which he donated approximately £10007.
4.6 Due to the location of Savile’s home in Roundhay Park and the elevated view from the balcony across the grounds, Savile offered WYP the opportunity to use it when policing major events in the park. An example of this was the Robbie Williams concert in 2006 which was attended by approximately 90,000 people. This offer was not taken up by the police on this or any other occasion.
4.7 In 2008 Savile attended an ‘open day’ at the Force’s Operational Support Service Department (OSSD)8. This event was organised for the families of police officers and staff to gain an understanding of the work undertaken by OSSD. Savile did not attend in any official capacity but was invited as a friend of a serving police officer and did not fulfil any official role.
Savile offering his services as an intermediary for the police, should the ‘Ripper’ wish to make contact.”
“The information held was his name, date of birth, home address and various reference numbers. It was not possible to establish the relevance of the reference numbers as a large proportion of the investigation paperwork had been destroyed in the 1980s.”
Jimmy Savile was asked to front West Yorkshire Police (WYP) crime prevention campaigns despite an awareness of sex abuse allegations and rumours among officers he was a “pervert”.
An internal report into West Yorkshire Police’s relationship with the former Jim’ll Fix It presenter showed that police were still asking him to promote campaigns in 2008 despite receiving warnings from Surrey Police that he could be a sex offender.
West Yorskhire still asked Savile to help front local crime prevention campaigns, including a ‘Hand in a Handler’ campaign and a Talking Signs campaign. A recording of Savile’s voice was broadcast through speakers attached to lamp posts which gave local students and residents crime prevention advice.
A retired officer from the Leeds Vice Squad also believed that the unit had conducted an investigation into allegations of indecent assault by Savile on two girls in the early 1980s. There is no evidence from WYP that this investigation took place, but the matter has been passed on to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
Born in the Birmingham suburb of Tyseley, Neil Taggart gained a degree in Music from the University of Leeds, where he was elected as President of the University Union 1974-5.
He was a Labour member of Leeds City Council 1980-2014, winning ten elections out of ten, occupying leading roles on Race Equality, Environment, Highways & Transportation, Recreation Services and Planning. He was Lord Mayor of Leeds 2003-4.He served on West Yorkshire Police Authority 1985-2003 (also Chair 1997-2002) and the National Crime Squad Service Authority (1997-2002). He also served as Chair of West Yorkshire Joint Services 2009-13.
His hobbies include railways and railway history, theatre, film, music and indulging his grandchildren.
A police report into its relationship with Jimmy Savile has been branded a whitewash and condemned
The West Yorkshire Police (WYP) report examined the history of the DJ and TV presenter’s relationship with the force, including how officers attended his well-known Friday Morning Club at his Leeds flat.
It disclosed that the disgraced BBC star’s services was used in the force’s crime prevention campaign in 2007 despite allegations despite warnings from Surrey Police that he may be a sex offender.
However the inquiry, dubbed Operation Newgreen, concluded that there was no evidence he was shielded from arrest and protected from prosecution by his relationship with the force.
Yorkshire Ripper hoax tapeRecording of a tape sent to George Oldfield of West Yorkshire Police in 06/79 by a man purporting to be the Yorkshire Ripper. (The tape was later discovered to be a hoax and the man identified as John Humble).
On 3rd June 1986 during a routine check, two Metropolitan Police officers were ambushed in Down Street, Mayfair, by two gunmen , who were then driven away at speed by a third man.
The two gunmen were named as brothers Philip and James Callaghan and the getaway driver was named as Jonathan Peter/Peter Jonathan Denby, a solicitor from North London and former secretary to Enoch Powell.
Mr Denby went on the run for a year before being apprehended following a Crimewatch appeal in 1987, James Callaghan died whilst in custody and Philip Callaghan was eventually jailed for eight years over his part in the crime.
I am interested in the police investigation in to this crime and would be grateful for as much of the following information as you can supply in your time restraints:
1) A copy of the report into the investigation.
2) The name of the police investigation in to the crime.
3) The officer/s in charge of the investigation.
4) Mr Denby’s abandoned Jaguar car was blown up by the Metropolitan Police ‘blue beret’ D11 firearms squad and reports at the time state that this was due to police fears he had become embroiled in arms dealing for terrorists. What gave the police cause to think he was dealing in arms?
5) Why did James Callaghan never appear in court to formally face any charges alongside his brother between his arrest on 20th June 1986 and his death on 31st March 1987? If he did, please give dates and details.
6) How long could a person who police believed was involved in possible terrorism, be held without charge in 1986-1987?
7) The date on which Mr Denby was eventually apprehended, and whether he voluntarily gave himself up or whether he was found by police when contacted by a garage owner who recognised him from the Crimewatch appeal.
8) Was Mr Denby remanded in custody like the Callaghan brothers until his trial in 1988, or was he eventually released on bail until his trial?
9) How much of their sentences did they subsequently serve (8 years for Callaghan and 6 months for Denby), and in which prison/s?
If you are unable to provide any of this please advise where these records are retained and who I should contact?

Very interesting that @AnnaRaccoon2017 is not retracting her claim that the Gin Goblin (Barbara Hewson) met with Amanda McKenna, Savile’s niece, in Leeds!
Equally interesting that the Gin Goblin has NOT denied that this meeting took place.
Alun:
So the Gin Goblin (Hewson) met up with Savile’s (niece Amanda?) who has boxes of savile’s correspondence
LazerLight@Lazer_Light23
Hewson was meeting Savile’ s niece, Amanda? Why would she do that? What interest for an Irish barrister?
Dame Alun Roberts
Ah, got it! The Bin Goblin was never a close friend of @AnnaRaccoon2017 after all! Don’t we know!
LazerLight@Lazer_Light23
Gosh, and didn’t she only last month, travel up to Norfolk, with gifts and sit at her bedside? Lot of trouble for a ‘non friend’.
Alun
She was her biggest cheerleader by far. She must be frantically scared of what Anna knows and has passed onto others. Watch this space!
Sir Richard Denby has been elected as president of Bradford and Bingley Building Society. He is senior partner of A. V. Hammond and Co., solicitors, Bradford, and is currently chairman of Parkland Textile (Holdings)
Don’t forget Sir Richard Denby, uncle of the criminal shipping lawyer Jonathan Denby and fallen barrister Barbara Hewson, became Chairman of the Bradford & Bingley in 1982
Not long after ‘Sir’ Richard Denby died (was it precipitated by Jonathan Denby’s criminal activities?), the granddaughter of the RMS Titanic’s Second Officer, Charles Lightoller, joined the board of the Bradford & Bingley.
Louise Patten, whose grandfather was the only surviving officer on Titanic
Oh, I forgot to say the granddaughter of Titanic’s second officer and the new board member at Bradford & Bingley was Louise Patten, wife of Tory politician John Patten.
She was a non-executive director of Bradford & Bingley when the company failed and was nationalised in 2008. She has remained on the board and is now an NED of UK Asset Resolution, which combines the run-down mortgages of the former Northern Rock and Bradford & Bingley.[2]
Hewson’s uncle, ‘Sir’ Richard Denby, was Chairman of the Bradford & Bingley.
Some time later John Patten secured his wife Louise a cushy post as non-executive director at the B & B. Interesting that the paedophile Brittan should want John Patten as his PPS.

well done… that circle includes Colin Sampson and Keith Hellawell..and Peter taylor….try to connect merlyn rees…..and Tony Benn..dover…currently his son..hilary benn dover…sits there…not sure hes as asmart as his dad
Go for the papers……connecting..waddinton..patten….and Bob Fordham..then u got MURDER….I pay for pattens papers connecting Bob Fordham….Ive got the originals here….but getting them from ur side…connects MURDER
It was probably as an avowed hanger and flogger that Lord Waddington was best known, delighting Conservative Party conferences with his calls for the reinstatement of the death penalty
When Hellawell came to write his memoirs, he could not list any other cases because West Yorkshire Police refused him access to his own papers on the grounds that they were ‘confidential’. Such was the force’s determination to keep secret the extent of Sutcliffe’s crimes and its failings.
By the time Sutcliffe ended their meetings, Hellawell had been promoted to Chief Constable – which should have led to new charges being laid. But in 1993, Barbara Mills QC, then Director of Public Prosecutions, decided it was not in the public interest for Sutcliffe to face further charges.
Sutcliffe, Savile, Frank Bruno
Even in a country where secrecy is endemic, the Yorkshire Ripper saga stands out due to the dogged official cover-up.
The most complete record is held at the National Archives in Kew. But a terse note on the case papers of Peter William Sutcliffe commands that the dossier remains closed until January 1, 2045 – nearly 64 years after he was convicted. The official reason is that the documents contain personal information, grounds for an exemption to the Freedom of Information Act.
The Lady Patten to give her her full title, the wife of former Tory Education minister, Lord (John) Patten, though her own career as one of the first women board directors of a FTSE 100 company, and as a successful author of financial thrillers
There are loads of names from the past mentioned in this document, one of which was Dr Pamela Mason’s. Mason is described as being the Director of the Mental Health Division in the DHSS. Things were certainly not going well in the Mental Health Division. Not only was Pamela presiding over the chaos and criminality in the north Wales mental health service, but this Bulletin reminded me of a few other problems from that time.
John Patten MP, a Minister in the DHSS, had announced that the DHSS was funding three studies into solvent abuse.
One of those studies was to be undertaken by Professor R.H. Anderson at that den of corruption, StGeorge’s HospitalMedicalSchool.
In 1985 Oliver Brooke who was later imprisoned for the possession of huge quantities of child porn was still employed as the Professor of Paediatrics at StGeorge’s. The rest of the crooks who covered up for Dafydd et al in 1990/91 were busy down there as well.
Tooks was hosting some unscrupulous hypocrites of the highest order. Helena Kennedy QC worked there – the Helena who worked closely with corrupt psychiatrist Professor Nigel Eastman from St George’s Hospital Medical School.
Eastman was not only concealing and colluding with wrongdoing at St George’s and Springfield Hospital (the psychiatric unit attached to St George’s), but he also colluded with those we know and love in north Wales in 1991 when he was faced with evidence of their criminal activities (see post ‘Some Very Eminent Psychiatrists From London…’). Helena also will have known about the abuse of women patients in the special hospitals, many of whom had already been abused as kids in care and as mental health patients – no, she didn’t say a word. I bet she knew about Jimmy Savile’s activities at Broadmoor as well. Please read my post ‘Eve Was Framed – As Were A Lot Of Other People’ for further details regarding St Helena.
Chair of the BBC was Chris Patten who angrily refused to shoulder any responsibility at all when Jimmy Savile and the Newsnight allegations regarding the abuse of children in north Wales exploded in his face.
^ Padophile Patrick Rock was PPS to Chris Patten
This is the Patten who was Chair of the Conservative Party when Sir Peter Morrison was busy with kids in care in north Wales, the Chris Patten who’s wife Lavender was the Patron of the Oxford Mindfulness Centre that was established and run by Professor Mark Williams. Not only was Patten himself Chancellor of Oxford University at the time, but Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy was based on a research fraud that Williams had carried out whilst he was working as a clinical psychologist in Bangor in the late 80s/early 90s (see post ‘The Biggest Expert Of The Lot’). Whilst patients killed themselves and were left destitute. Williams’s ‘fieldwork’ was carried out by the notoriously abusive Arfon Community Mental Health Team, whose colleagues were some of the social workers responsible for the abuse of children in care in north Wales.
“In 1987 a Cheshire MP, Mr Peter Morrison, was taken off a train in Crewe following an allegation of abuse of a young male on the train. The MPs name is on the list of those involved with North Wales Child abuse.”
Lavender Patten is also on the International Committee of the Leonard Cheshire Foundation, a charity that works for the disabled and is a patron of Hope for Children (a small charity that helps poor children in the developing world).
Peter and Virginia Bottomley
Within a year of entering Parliament in 1984,Virginia Bottmley became a parliamentary private secretary to Chris Patten, and then to Geoffrey Howe. By 1988 she was a junior minister at the Department of Environment; by 1989 she was a health minister under William Waldegrave.

Louise Patten – charity supporter of First Story charity
Katie Waldegrave is Director of Now Teach. She is the founder of First Story, the literacy charity, which she ran from 2007 to 2015, by which time it had helped thousands of children learn to write. Katie studied history at Oxford, after which she trained to teach with Teach First. She went on to be Head of History at Cranford Community College and has also taught at Ashoka University in Delhi. She has a PhD in creative writing.
When Katie Waldegrave gets back from India later this week, she will be able to focus once more on running a remarkable charity, First Story, where she is executive director.
Her job is to get well known authors to visit schools and conduct writing workshops in an effort to foster “creativity, literacy and talent” in deprived children.
This seems to be an idea worth introducing in India as well. The dream would be to get slum children, for instance, to write their own film scripts.
Katie, 28, has been in Jaipur for the Indian part of her wedding to Indrojit Banerji. The couple met at Oxford where Katie read history, Indrojit politics, philosophy and economics. Wedding part II will take place near her parents’ home in Somerset.
Katie’s father, Lord (William) Waldegrave, just appointed Provost at Eton College, was a cabinet minister under Margaret Thatcher and John Major. Indrojit works for Gordon Brown’s policy “delivery unit” at 10, Downing Street.
Katie’s mother, Caroline Waldegrave, is a well known cookery writer and managing director of Leith’s School of Food and Wine. Should there ever be a tiff between the new bride and groom, it could trigger the first recorded instance in history of a Bengali boy running not to his mother but his mother-in-law.
First Story is also the name that my goddaughter has chosen for the charity she launched two years ago. When Katie Waldegrave (daughter of former cabinet minister William Waldegrave and food writer Caroline Waldegrave) finished her degree at Oxford, she went to work in the “Teach First” programme, which gives young graduates the chance to teach for a couple of years at comprehensives. Based on this experience, she launched First Story in September 2007 with the aim of placing writers in state schools across the country. The first was William Fiennes. By this autumn there should be 20 of these writers-in-residence, who encourage creative reading and writing among students. It has been a great success and deserves more help and encouragement, not least from publishers. Our schools minister, Mr Balls, might like to give it a pat on the back too.

There are a disproportionate number of cases of paedophilia at private and offshore radio stations
Martin Allen : how case of London teenager missing for 35 years could be linked to the Elm House paedophile ring
14 May 2015
The brothers grew up in a council flat in Hornsey, where their mother was a secretary at Tufnell Park Primary School. They spent weekends ice skating at Alexandra Palace.
When Allen was 14 and Martin 12, their father started working as chauffeur to the Australian High Commissioner and they moved to Kensington, where neighbours included Monday Club member Winston Churchill and the De Beers (Esther Rantzen-linked) jewellery family.
Margaret Thatcher and Ted Heath were regular visitors to the street.
“It was quite a change from our council flat,” says Allen. “There were garden parties over the fence from us; Thatcher knew my Dad to say hello to.”
Gordon Dawson child sex abuse case reopened by police
Jan 4 2017
Police are re-investigating child sex abuse allegations against a farmer who shot himself shortly after he was told he would be questioned.
Gordon Dawson, from Dalby, Lincolnshire, was found dead with a gun at his side in 2007.
His accuser, known only as David, criticised police over the original investigation and for telling the farmer he was about to be arrested.
Lincolnshire Police said it was now acting on new information.
Supt Rick Hatton said: “The force has reviewed the original file and spoken further with the victim.
“As a result of this, investigations are ongoing into the original allegation and further details that have come to light.”
David claimed Mr Dawson had repeatedly abused him from the age of 15 after the farmer befriended his family and started taking him for shooting lessons.
David reported the farmer in 2007, but said his alleged abuser then killed himself the next day as police failed to remove his guns, despite warnings.
“It was tough when I heard he had taken his own life – I just couldn’t believe they [the police] would warn people,” he added.
According to Lincolnshire Police, the first allegation against Mr Dawson was made in 1999 but no action was taken due to “insufficient evidence”.
In 2006 police arrested Mr Dawson after four other men came forward claiming they were also abused as children between 1964 and 1986.
An investigating officer phoned Mr Dawson on 23 March 2007 to tell him he would be questioned further and a few hours later he was found dead at his home.
After Mr Dawson’s death the investigation was dropped but David later complained to the police about the way it was handled.
Tragedy of SMart’s Mark Speight – and conspiracies swirling around his strange death
Beloved children’s TV presenter Mark Speight was found hanging at Paddington Station 12 years ago – and wild conspiracies regarding the BBC, Rolf Harris and the coroner still surround his death
7 Apr 2020
Mark Speight, presenter of children’s TV show SMart, was found dead 12 years ago aged 42.
He was found at Paddington train station and appeared to have hanged himself.
His death came shortly after he was arrested on suspicion of murdering his fiancée, Natasha Collins.
She was found dead in the bath with burns and a “significant” amount of cocaine in her system along with sleeping pills and vodka.
Speight was released without charge, and an inquest determined Collins died of a drug overdose and “severe” burns.
Heartbroken and consumed by grief, Speight moved in with Collins’ mother, and had planned to meet her in Covent Garden for a coffee on April 7, 2008.
He was dropped off at Wood Green station, but never arrived for their catch-up.
He had missed an appointment with his counsellor, but that was over confusion with dates.
Two police officers who spoke to Speight described him as “vacant” “distracted” and “deep in thought”, but he refused their help.
He was captured on CCTV taking cash out at Queen’s Park station, and then he boarded a southbound train on the Bakerloo line.
The next day, Speight was reported missing,and his family, along with Collins’ mother, made a public appeal for him to make contact.
Sadly, his body was found on April 13, hanging from the roof of MacMillan House, adjacent to Paddington Station.
He had been dead in the building for six days before he was found, and had written two notes, one in his pocket and one to his parents at his home, where he explained he could not “contemplate life without [Collins]”.
An inquest found he had hanged himself, but bizarre and wild conspiracies have since emerged regarding his employers, the BBC.
Speight had volunteered for Childline, which has been dubbed – a “cover” for a paedophile ring involving senior members of the BBC including Jimmy Saville, and members of the royal family.
Theory peddlers have claimed Childline is used to track down victims of the paedophile ring, and that Speight “knew too much”.
Convicted paedophile Rolf Harris made an emotional speech at Speight’s funeral, and even performed.
And another claim the theorists make is that the coroner for Speight’s death was untrustworthy.
Paul Knapman was in the charge of the inquest, but he had been heavily criticised in the past when he oversaw the inquest into the Marchioness riverboat disaster in 1989.
Chris Pond MP told The House of Commons: “For some unexplained reason, Knapman horrifically allowed the victims’ hands to be cut off and their body parts and tissues to be removed without permission and treated concerned family members with utter contempt.”
Speight is also not the only person connected to the BBC to die in strange circumstances, as Crimewatch presenter Jill Dando was shot on her doorstep in 1999, and the killer has never been found.
She had reportedly been investigating an alleged paedophile ring at the BBC and, according to reports, had been told DJs, celebrities and other members of staff were involved in organised abuse.
She is said to have made a complaint to senior management and asked them to investigate it, but they never did.
Because of this, wild conspiracy theories claim Dando was assassinated by a hitman.
MirrorOnline has reached out to the BBC and Paul Knapman for comment.
Martin Allen, the son of the chauffeur of a Australian high commissioner, went missing aged 15 from King’s Cross on his way to home in Kensington in November 1979.
His brother Kevin, 51, has said he was called by Detective Chief Inspector Diane Tudway of the Metropolitan Police on Friday, who told him she was investigating whether Martin’s disappearance is linked to an alleged ring made up of MPs and senior figures of authority.
Jeffrey Allen said the detective who led the case in 1979 had told his family that there were “high-up people involved” and that they should stop talking and “not take it further because someone will get hurt”.
The brothers grew up in a council flat in Hornsey, where their mother was a secretary at Tufnell Park Primary School. They spent weekends ice skating at Alexandra Palace. When Allen was 14 and Martin 12, their father started working as chauffeur to the Australian High Commissioner and they moved to Kensington, where neighbours included Winston Churchill and the De Beers jewellery family. Margaret Thatcher and Ted Heath were regular visitors to the street.
“There were garden parties over the fence from us; Thatcher knew my Dad to say hello to.”
The Australian High Commission used a chauffeur firm that had employed the notorious Sidney Cooke, who has been convicted for molesting children. Jimmy Savile’s chauffeur, David Smith, who last year committed suicide before standing trial on sex charges is also believed to have connections to the company. Police say “no update will be made available relating to this case at this time”.
Churchill’s daughter repaid a favour to Sir Jimmy Savile
Savile (like many others) had a thing for Churchill
This framed image belonged to him and was sold as part of his estate.
In Plain Sight: the Life and Lies of Jimmy Savile
A little further along was another signed photograph. It was of Savile’s hero, Winston Churchill. One of Savile’s friends later told me that the way he held his cigar was directly copied from Churchill.
In 1965, Savile had queued up for hours to see the body of the great wartime leader lying in state at Westminster. ‘This one here is one of the only pictures of Winston Churchill that’s signed by him,’ he said proudly.
‘Now, his daughter Mary wanted me to do her a favour and I said, “OK, get me a signed photo of your Dad.” She said he didn’t sign anything so I said, “Tough. No favour.” She said, “Leave it with me”.’
He opened the glass door of the cabinet and removed the small, signed photograph. ‘Look what it says on the back.
“Jimmy Savile. From Mary Soames. My thanks and in memory of someone we both admired.”’
Quite the favour, that Jimmy Savile was doing for Mary Soames
Coroner for Marchioness disaster – Paul Knapman
£1bn mystery of the Marchioness: Magda Allani survived the disaster 22 years ago. Now she asks whether her tormented friend Antonio held the key to the tragedy
It is 22 years this weekend since the Marchioness disaster on the Thames claimed 51 lives. Among them was the charismatic young financier Antonio de Vasconcellos, a Portuguese aristocrat, who was hosting a glamorous birthday party on board. Magda Allani, one of his closest friends and a survivor of the tragedy, says that even today she is haunted by the catastrophe – and the many disturbing questions it still raise.
He had been working at investment bank Warburgs until, two years earlier, he had been headhunted by Spanish financier Javier de la Rosa to run the London offices of Torras Hostench, a brash new Spanish conglomerate, and he was working hard. I remembered a strange call from Italy, the previous week, when he rang to say hello.
His voice was troubled in a way I had never heard before. Antonio had been a close friend since Cambridge; he confided almost everything to me, but he hung up before I could ask what the matter was.
I remembered something else I had been told – about the gunman seen by Luis, Antonio’s lodger, a few days before the party. ‘We saw Luis just afterwards,’ said a mutual friend. ‘He was in such a state. He said the gunman had made all sorts of threats and he had told the police.’
Why, in that phone call from Italy, and then later on board the Marchioness, had Antonio been so troubled? In the days immediately after the sinking of the Marchioness, there was no sign of my friend Antonio. He had been slightly embarrassed by his choice of career.
By 1989, Antonio was wearing a haunted look, camouflaged, but indisputably there. ‘Have you heard of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?’ he asked me one afternoon. ‘Berlusconi, Agnelli, Gardini, Benedetti?’ I replied.
I meantSilvio Berlusconi, the Italian Prime Minister; Gianni Agnelli, the all powerful owner of Fiat; Raul Gardini, the late industrialist; and Carlo de Benedetti, head of Olivetti, manufacturers of computers and business technology.
They were the four most powerful men in Italy, with reputations for mounting hostile takeovers, particularly of foreign-owned companies.
Antonio hinted that he had been meeting one of the horsemen about a merger and acquisition deal. ‘The only way to reach people like them is to let it be known via their intermediaries you have something they might want,’ he said, adding: ‘Javier de la Rosa. He’s quite a character.’
I wondered at what point Antonio had realised that he had been playing the unwitting Oliver to the Fagins of corrupt finance.
He had been privy to sensitive information and maybe he had discovered the truth.
The 1995 inquest ruled that all deaths were ‘unlawful killings’ caused by drowning.
…
Allegations even emerged that the KIO had channelled money to the Conservative Party via an offshore property firm, Blackford Holdings.
It was a tangled web. Javier de la Rosa was sentenced to more than 15 years in a Spanish prison for embezzlement and falsification of documents after a series of trials linked to the KIO case and the collapse of Grupo Torras. He is now a free man.
Although Margaret Thatcher promised one in front of cameras filming body bags being hauled from the Marchioness, it transpired that she had later met Michael Portillo, then Minister of State for Transport, and determined no public inquiry would be held.
Radio 270 had close ties with the Tory Monday Club and Harvey Proctor.
Savile’s friend Burnett worked at both Denby’s Pennine Radio and 270 Offshore from where Harvey broadcast. Ricchard Denby was Babsy’s uncle
It seems the Tory Monday Club instrumentalised Radio 270 for their own vile purposes:
It was 2 members of the Monday Club (Commander Anthony Tosswill Courtney, OBE and Sir Henry Victor Alpin MacKinnon Raikes KBE) who gathered the info in the Dickens Dossier)
I suspect Victor Raikes and Anthony Courtney held office in Monday Club with GK Young, who @JohnMannMP has mentioned before.
Cassandra Cogno@CassandraCogno
(21.10.15) “The files that are there, I know are valuable to their ongoing investigation.”
what did Op Midland do?
John Mann said that the file was handed to him by the same individual who had provided it to Mr Dickens in the 1980s, after it was compiled by former Tory MPs Sir Victor Raikes and Anthony Courtney – both now dead.
“There were two files that Geoffrey Dickens gave to Leon Brittan in 1984, this is the second file and the person who gave it to Geoffrey Dickens has now given a copy to me,” Mr Mann said.
“Two questions now arise. Firstly, why were the contents of the file not investigated? Secondly, why was the Prime Minister unable to find this file when he instigated the Wanless Review last year?
Mr Mann said the dossier included a list of alleged paedophiles, including “a small number of names which would be recognised by people who follow politics”, but declined to reveal the identities of those named.
“There are also background documents which will be of interest to police now and would have been of interest to police at the time,” he said.
Mr Mann said that he was “confident” that the dossier was genuine and that the person who passed it to him was the same individual who provided it to Mr Dickens and would be willing to speak to police now.
“The files that are there, I know are valuable to their ongoing investigation,” he said. “It may lead to new investigations as well. I would be surprised if it didn’t, but that is a decision for them to make, not me.”
GK Young dossier is annotated with “authenticated handwriting”. Is it Dickens’? Does it state to be handed to Brittan?
Anthony Courtney
Colin Forster@colinwforster
Was Courtney in Naval Intelligence? Did he inherit safe seat from a man ruined in a gay sex scandal?
Courtney was chosen to follow Ian Harvey as Conservative candidate for Harrow East in early 1959. Harvey had been forced to resign over a homosexual scandal in which he was found in flagrante delicto with a guardsman in St. James’s Park. Courtney kept the seat in a by-election.

INTELLIGENCE IN RECENT PUBLIC LITERATURE
SAILOR IN A RUSSIAN FRAME. By Cdr. Anthony Courtney. (London: Johnson. 1968. 256 pp. 35s.)
“I’m not a Profumo, but …” was the title on the illustrated handbill, with photos to match, which was sent to the British press and the wife and political friends and enemies of retired Royal Navy Commander Anthony Courtney, Conservative Member of Parliament for Harrow East, in August of 1965. Before a year had passed, Courtney had lost his wife, his seat, and most of his business as a result of a KGB political action operation in the heart of London. His book is the story of why the Soviets “framed” him and how he fought back, and almost won. The episode vividly exemplifies how the Soviets employ assiduous data collection and personal provocation in political action.

Western Goals (UK), had established a parliamentary advisory committee of Conservative MPs which included Sir Patrick Wall, Nicholas Winterton, Neil Hamilton and Bill Walker, as well as Martin Smyth of the Ulster Unionist Party.
Patrick Wall was one of a number of Tory MPs associated with Radio 270, an offshore radio station broadcasting off the Yorkshire coast in the 1960s.
He was a friend of the Rhodesian Prime Minister, Ian Smith, and fully supported him. After Rhodesia’s UDI in 1965, he joined forces with Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 5th Marquess of Salisbury, to lead the Tory revolt against their party’s support for the Labour administration’s sanctions policy.
Sir Patrick Wall was an early member (1963) of the Conservative Monday Club, sat on several of its committees, served on its Executive Council, and was National Club Chairman 1978–80. He collaborated on many papers and publications for the Club, and spoke for Club policies and concerns in the House of Commons.
As University Groups Parliamentary Liaison Officer, he was active in supporting the 55 Monday Club groups formed in universities and colleges
Patrick Wall was one of a number of Tory MPs associated with Radio 270, an offshore radio station broadcasting off the Yorkshire coast in the 1960s. On 11 May 1967 the station gave Conservative candidates in local elections at Scarborough airtime which the candidates had paid for themselves, and on 14 May it broadcast a programme made by the York University branch of the Monday Club, in which Patrick Wall spoke on Rhodesia.
Wilf Proudfoot was Member of Parliament for Cleveland, his secretary, Christine Holman (the future Christine Hamilton)
Radio 270 was also attacked in Parliament. Mr Proudfoot had previously been a Conservative MP and, as someone with an interest in politics, offered late night airtime on his station to various politicians. Harvey Proctor, a student at the University of York and Chairman of the University Conservative Association, was invited to produce a number of half-hour political programmes for Radio 270.
Right-wing Tory MP Patrick Wall took part in one show during which he spoke in favour of recognising the illegalSmith regime in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Government MPs were incensed but Mr Proudfoot defended his actions by saying that Labour representatives had been offered equal time, but had turned it down. The political broadcasts continued. Harvey Proctor later became an MP himself, representing Basildon from 1979 to 1983 and Billericay from 1983 to 1987, before a sex scandal ended his Parliamentary career.
Heath’s autobio covers the fact that he used Young Conservatives for ‘information gathering and propoganda’ assistance.

But not everyone wants to be entertained. IRA chiefs Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness once enjoyed a day out from Long Kesh prison for negotiations with Channon and Willie Whitelaw when they were Northern Ireland ministers. Channon laid on special supplies of his family stout to please his Irish visitors but they refused to touch it, not because they might get tiddly but because they thought it might be drugged.
Michael Willis, aged 69, of Barnsdale Close, Loughborough, pleaded guilty at Leicester Crown Court on nine counts of downloading indecent images and movies between 2006 and 2013.
He was in possession of the images while standing as a Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate for Loughborough at the 2010 General Election.
The election saw him secure nearly 10,000 votes from local residents.
Willis, who went under the stage name Steve Merike when he was a disc jockey, was a BBC Radio One DJ in the 1970s. He was also a DJ on the famous pirate station Radio Caroline.
In the 1975 he was a presenter on the television show called Pop Quest and interviewed stars such as T-Rex’s Marc Bolan.
The court heard that he also lectured for 15 years at New College Nottingham and Nottingham Trent as well as being the governor at a number of schools.

Journalist who was Harold Wilson’s No 10 press secretary
Gerald Kaufman writes: I first got to know Trevor Lloyd-Hughes when I went to work at 10 Downing Street in 1965, as Harold Wilson’s political press adviser. Those were innocent days, when at No 10 politics was stringently divided from the civil service. I was brought in to help after the Labour government lost the Leyton byelection and Wilson (on the advice of his Hungarian guru, Tommy Balogh) decided he needed someone who could talk politics to the press, which Trevor would never have thought of doing.
Lloyd-Hughes’ influence at the highest level of government was considerable. He travelled with Harold Wilson on all his important missions and on his overseas trips – especially the crucial meetings regarding the future of Rhodesia on HMS Tiger – and he was present at vital meetings on European membership, the economy and industrial relations. Trevor Denby Lloyd-Hughes was educated at Woodhouse Grove School and Jesus College, Oxford, where he read modern history. That was interrupted in 1941 when he was commissioned into the Royal Artillery in 1941. He saw service in North Africa, Sicily and Italy with the 75th Shropshire Yeomanry and was among the first Allied troops to enter Rome in 1944. On being demobilised he returned to Oxford, completed his degree and captained the Jesus rugby XV. In 1949 he joined The Liverpool Daily Post, remaining there until he went to Number 10 in 1964.
He formed a lobbying company, Lloyd-Hughes Associates, which specialised in government-industry relations.
Trevor Lloyd-Hughes Associates claimed royal support for their ventures
03 Feb 1982
Trevor Lloyd-Hughes Associates had organised the opening of a major installation by the Queen and they claimed they could organise meetings with eminent personalities including the Queen’s principal private secretary, Cabinet Ministers, former British ambassadors, and men at the very top of the UK diplomatic and home Civil Service.
The offer of the firm to act as a go-between for Buckingham Palace and business executives was introduced by a private member’s bill in the Commons.
Bee Carthew of the Swinton Circle acted as a go-between for fugitive solicitor Jonathan Denby and Harvey Proctor.

Not much is known about Trevor Lloyd-Hughes (TLH) despite his importance to the various matters surrounding child abuse.
Here is a summary of what this blog has found to be available on TLH, so far, before I publish a persons story who knew TLH in a couple of days.
Trevor Lloyd-Hughes (TLH) according to the News of the World, was found in the address books of at least two teenage boy prostitutes and also by anti corruption detectives investigating links between gay police and a firm of private detectives.
This raises many questions, amongst which are –
Was TLH gay?
Was he corrupt?
Was he involved in sexual abuse?
Who were the firm of private detectives and what were the links with gay police?
Why was the young officer suspended?
What was this “secrets for gay sex scandal” and who was involved?
Was TLH heading Operation Circus?
What was the truth about TLH being investigated by anti-corruption police?
Was TLH’s death suspicious?
Can we trust the NOTW story?
The News of the World was owned by Rupert Murdoch and not perhaps the most trustworthy newspaper.
Alex Marunchuk has had his own credibility problems getting stories from phone hacking
Marunchuk it turns out was also working as a Ukranian interpreter for the police [13]
Tom Crone the NOTW lawyer, of course had the usual lawyerly blind eye that phone hacking was even happening.
TLH apparently claimed he was not gay, told his solicitors to sue if this was published. He then died and libel not being an option, his wife complained to the IPCC about the NOTW article which appeared shortly after his death. (click to enlarge)
The Press Council report says
Solicitors said TLH was never subject to formal investigation or suspension as a result of allegations, which had come to attention of senior officers
Mr Ellis for Deputy Assistant Commissioner DJ O’Dowd denied that TLH was under formal or informal investigation about any of the NOTW revelations.
DM Williams acting Assistant Director Director of Public Prosecutions, said there was no suggestion that TLH was involved in gay police investigation private investigators scandal in which police swapped sexual favours for information from police computers. Also that TLH’s home telephone number was not found in the address book of the suspended homosexual officer
TLH allegations had come to attention of senior officers. How?
Thus there is conflicting information and also some that may appear conflicting but may be carefully drafted to deceive.
Note also that the DPP at the time was Thomas Hetherington who has form for not prosecuting child abuse and was also said to have obstructed Operation Countryman [15]
So where do we find the truth?
I am not going to speculate and try and find the truth between a whole bunch of poor quality, conflicted, biased sources and some malevolent actors.
However tomorrow I shall release the story from a person who knew TLH and it throws further light and information on Lloyd-Hughes and some of the issues.
There is also this Mail article from 2016 which covers Lloyd-Hughes – 2016 Jan 23 Daily Mail Scotland Yard detective: I was told to ignore ‘meat rack’ VIPs during paedophile probe [5]
Former Chief Inspector Howard Groves claims he was told to ignore VIPs during a paedophile probe now being investigated by the police watchdog. He believes that the order came from Lloyd-Hughes who the paper says the Operation was led by Trevor Lloyd-Hughes.
Police have refused to give much information at all out about Operation Circus, indicating it is a sensitive area that they may wish to keep hidden from the public eye eg 2013 WDTK FOI Operation Circus [9] 2016 WDTK FOI Operation Circus [8]
This Mail article is confusing, and it invites a few questions.
Was Lloyd-Hughes the senior investigation officer (SIO) for Operation Circus or something else to do with the operation? If so what?
Was TLH pulling strings in whatever form in Operation Circus (Operation Circus in the 1980s was investigating homosexual involvement in child abuse at Piccadilly Circus)….
….whilst being investigated by anticorruption police (who were investigating links between gay officers and a private investigations firm and a gay sex for secrets scandal involving the police national computer)?
Further research needs to be carried out on this.
It would however explain why Police seem even more reticent than normal not to give out information on Operation Circus. As they refuse to give much information about Operation Circus we cannot tell.
Between 1985 to 1988 approx the Met ran a police operation called Circus which certains suspects were convicted of abusing children at King’s Cross and Piccadilly Circus, London.
Can you confirm which Security Services provided information for your police operation to get convictions was it MI5 or MI6 or was it Special Branch within The Met.
Can you confirm that former MET Commander Sir Trevor Lloyd-Hughes was suspect who lived at 14 Westminster Gardens, Victoria, London during his time at The MET and was this the reason the security services were involved in Operation Circus.
Can you confirm if that any members of the House of Commons staff were suspects and if so how many were arrested, charged and convicted and what were the charges relating to each person and also the ages of each person and what were the prison sentences for each.
How many other suspects were charged and convicted including ages and what were the prison sentences for each.
Who made the decision to close down Operation Circus and what was the reason for it to end was it cost of manpower or was it other factors etc.
Why would Op Midland travel the length of Britain to obtain a statement from a convicted criminal on his convicted paedophile buddy?
2.35 – Tom Watson / PMQs / D-Notice / Leon Brittan / Harvey Proctor
[CHRIS] the one interesting thing above all else, when Tom Watson asked a question in the House of Commons recently, as you know
[BILL] Member of Parliament
[CHRIS] Member of Parliament, he also asked about the use of D-Notices. D-Notices are notices that they’re supposed to be advisory, but basically the government doesn’t like a story in the newspapers about to print, it’ll slap a D-Notice
[BILL] A D-Notice is a gagging order
[CHRIS] is a gagging order. Now when Mary Moss and I left the coroner’s court the entire world’s press was outside, obviously it was a very, very big story
[BILL] Absolutely
[CHRIS] Because we’d stood in the witness box, we’d named Leon Brittan we’d named Harvey Proctor, we’d told the inquest all the evidence we had about who’d been involved at the Elm Guest House, so by any stretch of the imagination it was big news story. When we got outside the coroner’s court there was, they were all there, BBC, ITV, Channel Four, Sky, you name it.
[BILL] Yeah
18.15 – Eric Kasir / Neil Kier / Carol Kasir
[CHRIS] I knew who to complain to, how the system worked. Now, when the police, because they thought, they knew that Carol Kasir’s son, Eric, was 10, was living there. They also suspected and their own words ‘that other children might be present’ they approached Richmond Services, told them about the raid. Now procedure dictates that normally you would have got, say, the local field social worker in the local office who would have come in with the police on the raid. Any children present, they would have taken, they would have taken them into care. However, on the day of the raid, the man from Kingston, err from Richmond Council, who, who was on the raid with the police was Neil Kier, the officer in charge of Grafton, who took Eric into care.
[BILL] That’s her son Eric?
[CHRIS] That’s her son Eric. So you can understand why Carol was so angry.
[BILL] So, so, she knew, she knew that all the kids were coming from this children’s home. Then what they done on the night of the raid was took her own child and put her own child in that children’s home.
[CHRIS] Not only that, but with the very guy who had been one of the people supplying the boys, so Carol knew full well what that meant.
A minibus took boys to the Elm Guest House. The children did not sign the guest book. They were taken to a back room
Who drove the the minibus bus to EGH, was it John Stingemore or Neil Keir (see pic), maybe someone else ?
Anthony John Wixted@TrojanManifesto
Another member of staff who has never been implicated usually drove the bus… As far as I know Keir was never at Elm…
…but was up to other things and covered up Stingemore and Elm…
That is Keir in the background doing the barbecue the photo was taken on my first day at Grafton,many months after Stingemore was paid off
The photograph was taken by the only girl at Grafton…
Operation Fernbridge used her photo album and also a snoopy diary that she wrote in every day…
.as vital evidence in convicting McSweeney…
…unfortunately Stingemore died a few weeks before the court case.
…I am sure Stingemore drove the boys to Grafton himself in his bright red Ford Cortina mk3 estate…
craftymuvva@craftmuvva
He used his car to ferry them to his home in Bexhill.
Anthony John Wixted@TrojanManifesto
He would stop off on the way to pick up McSweeney… his German shepherd “Sheba” would be in the backseat…
He would only ever take two boys at a time… they would be forced to travel in the boot…
When Stingemore got the boys back to Grafton he would give them new clothes and burn the old ones…..the black marks in the tarmac were where he burnt the boys clothes…
Truthseeker1@thewakeupcall09
Systematically buggered by Neil Keir
Anthony John Wixted@TrojanManifesto
Yes there is no doubt Keir had links to pimps (regarding kitty)
He worked for Teddington park girls school while he was deputy at Grafton b4 Stingemore was sacked….
Then he became OIC of Grafton until he left (all of a sudden) b4 Elm raid…
Do you think it feasible that he was given a new ID? There were claims he was living in Truro
Anthony John Wixted@TrojanManifesto
Who knows… The death certificate of Neil Keir died in Wandsworth was that of his father..
The Neil Keir that was OIC Grafton close was actually Andrew Neil Keir...They were both born in Truro…Andrew Neil Keir had a house there when he worked for Grafton close and De La Pole hospital until he retired…His pension that was paid out to his address in Truro has never been taken out…
From my investigations he was in the Royal Navy with Stingemore in the early 70s…Linked to Ray Wyre on HMS Albany…
Linked to Kincora….I think Neil keir was part of the RMP that protected the royal family…
And John Stingemore was part of the Royal auxiliary police force that protected military and MI5 members……that were connected to the royal family…
I am pretty sure that is John Stingemore at the trial of Peter Sutcliffe..linked to Savile..linked to McSweeney…
Truthseeker1@thewakeupcall09
Alan Delaney, Shirley Drive, Hounslow, lived just 2 miles & Victor Burnett, Hanbury Road, Acton, 4 miles from Grafton Close Children’s Home.
What is new is the location concerning these two people as this was not revealed to me when I made FOI request to Northampton Crown Court PREVIOUSLY but was mentioned during a telephone call today by a source who I will not name yet
Benjamin Britten should have been exposed instead of exalted by the queen for his sadistic stories of abuse & murder of boys at sea…reminiscent of Edward Heath perhaps?
he was an open “boy-lover” famous for having boys sleep over, kissing them, showering with them, discarding them once they hit a certain age. No actual accusations though of sex abuse itself so far. His opera Peter Grimes based on a sadistic boy murderer. Very sick guy.

The Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust
The Trust is a Registered Charity, number 273400
In 1967, the Governing Body of St Peter’s College agreed to support the project. Other supporters were Edmund Blunden, Benjamin Britten, Richard Burton, Sir Maurice Bowra, Nevill Coghill, Christopher Fry, Graham Greene, Rt Hon. Edward Heath, Harold Hobson, Henry Moore, John Osborne, Harold Pinter, John Piper, Kathleen Raine, Jon Stallworthy, Peter Ustinov and Arnold Wesker.
Benjamin Britten was interviewed under caution by Scotland Yard at least twice during the investigation of paedophile rings in the late 1960s, and again following the suicide of a close colleague who was involved in procuring boys.
Benjamin Britten was known to the police as a pederast, and was questioned by them as part of the Suitcase inquiries.
Colin Peters, caught in Bay of Naples ferrying lads to British elite paedophiles on the islands.
Peters, a protected species…
Colin Peters was originally found guilty in a 1989 trial with others. In other words the state allowed him to go on abusing for 22 years.
Yes, Peters is a prime example of the Establishment protecting one of their own so he could continue abusing.
Peters also has very close links to Chelsea FC. One client ment’d on his Vatattack website is Grange Farm.
Convicted paedophile Colin Peters was involved with Chelsea Football Club via the owner Ken Bates.
I wonder why David Mellor chose a Chelsea kit?
@IICSA_media must look into why Colin Peters was given work by gov’t authorities as child sex offender. Massive coverup!

Carole Kasir ran the Elm Guest House in London during the 1970s and 1980s
VIP clients of the facility included Cyril Smith as well as MI5 officers and spy Anthony Blunt
Child welfare campaigners believed that children were abused in the guesthouse
Kasir kept logbooks and photographs of her VIP clients
Her body was found by several vials of insulin and an inquest determined suicide
The local property owner ‘Patsy’ Puddles was identified at the inquest as one of those who had allegedly threatened her. His name had also appeared with Cyril Smith on the ‘VIP’ list of alleged customers at Elm House.
The coroner decided that the ‘conspiracy allegations threw doubt on the accuracy of the suicide notes’, and adjourned the inquest for further investigations.
Could Carole Kasir have been murdered?
In terms of the mechanics of her death, while an insulin overdose has been used as a means of suicide by diabetics (it causes a fatal drop in blood sugar), the administration of a lethal overdose by another person would be relatively easy in the case of an alcoholic diabetic in poor health such as Carole Kasir.
Certainly the coroner was concerned about the circumstances surrounding her death.
David Issett, who says he had split with Kasir some time before she died, admitted to us that he had been forced to attend as a witness when the inquest reconvened for a second hearing, ‘on pain of arrest’.
David Issett, who denied any wrongdoing, was interviewed twice last year by Operation Fernbridge officers and, he said, gave them a statement.
He told us: ‘They kept firing names of Carole’s friends at me to see if I knew them.’ He said his old boss ‘Patsy’ Puddles ‘might have known’ Carole, but vehemently denied Puddles would ever have been involved in child abuse. Puddles has been dead for a number of years.
And yet when we visited the address where Kasir died, a former neighbour said that the police had, in fact, set up a secret surveillance post in one of the nearby flats, albeit some time before the death.
Christine Keeler, Anthony Blunt and Roger Hollis Director General of MI5
Dolphin Square, Christine Keeler, Hannah Tailford, Anthony Blunt
21 September 2016
Chapter 2 – Dolphin Square
In February, 1961, Ward and Christine Keeler moved to 17 Wimpole Mews in Marylebone. According to Christine Keeler’s autobiography, The Truth at Last, Anthony Blunt and Roger Hollis, the Director General of MI5, were regular visitors to the flat. She should know and she was right.
It was Blunt who carried out the ‘clean-up’ operation after Ward’s arrest, wandering in to the Museum Street Gallery in Holborn one afternoon in July 1963 and purchasing, via a banker’s draft, all of Stephen Ward’s sketches then on display in the gallery. These works revealed nothing in themselves; however, they betrayed the extent of the circles in which Ward moved.
Princess Margaret by Stephen Ward The sketches were of extremely prominent people and were a virtual ‘who’s who’ of the infamous Thursday Club; of whom both Blunt and Ward were members as were Prince Philip and his uncle, Louis, Lord Mountbatten. Indeed, Ward supplied the girls for the Thursday Club.
The Duke of Edinburgh by Stephen Ward These sketches, as well as documents and photographs, would find their way into the hands of the Russian KGB and, it is said, contained ‘material which was devastating for the British Royal Family’.
Knowledge of this cache, coupled with his 1945 trips to Germany to retrieve sensitive information sent to Kaiser Wilhelm and to Adolf Hitler by prominent royals, enabled Anthony Blunt to avoid the same public skewering that befell Ward or, indeed, Blunt’s fellow Cambridge spies.
Besides which, who knows how much material was still available by the time the exhibition opened? In the book I Couldn’t Paint Golden Angels by Albert Metzler the author recalls that the Ward exhibition had been organised by a pornographer named Freddie Reid and that:
‘Before opening there would be a private sale and the public could come in on the Monday after. There was a stream of limousines to Museum Street that week as the great and good bought compromising pictures of themselves at high prices. It is a joy to think that they may have included some responsible for blacklisting the man now blackmailing them’.
Not all of Ward’s material though was obtained by Anthony Blunt for Ward shrewdly, or so he believed, deposited some of his archive with his solicitor David Jacobs.
I suspect some of you may be thinking that all of this is bordering on the unbelievable, well, let us examine some of the circles within circles and how they all interconnect.
The aforementioned David Jacobs, who represented Ward at his trial, was somewhat of a solicitor to the stars given that he also worked on behalf of celebrities including Brian Epstein, Diana Dors, Judy Garland and John Vassall. The importance of these names shall be revealed as we go, but first, let us start with Vassall.
William John Christopher Vassall was, according to Wikipedia, ‘a British civil servant who spied for the Soviet Union under pressure of homosexual blackmail’. Prior to embarking upon his civil service career, however, Vassall, the son of an Anglican vicar, had been a photographer for the RAF. Vassall had been lured to a KGB arranged party in 1954 where he indulged in some sort of ‘compromising activity’ with another male.
This activity was secretly photographed and the classic ‘honeytrap’ was sprung. Vassall was now entirely in the hands of his KGB tormentors and would go on to provide a steady supply of high-class, confidential material for his Soviet paymasters. This work would prove lucrative; indeed lucrative enough for him to be able to purchase a luxurious flat at Dolphin Square, near the River Thames in Pimlico in London, from where he would throw lavish parties.
Dolphin Square was at one time home to some 70 MPs and 10 Lords and its other notable residents have included Princess Anne, Harold Wilson and David Steel as well as the odious fascist Oswald Mosley. MI5 would take full advantage of Dolphin Square’s facilities and use it as a deluxe pied-à-terre for its undercover agents. Generally undercover agents could expect to find themselves having to blend in to just about any environment, so it is telling in the extreme then that MI5 felt the best place to locate them was at the very heart of the great and the good of the British Establishment! The MI5 operative, MP and journalist Tom Driberg reported back all his secrets to MI5 top-cheese Maxwell Knight – codenamed M – via a flat in Dolphin Square.
Another Dolphin Square resident, and fellow Thursday Club member, was the photographer Anthony Beauchamp and he, like Vassall, was also fond of throwing the odd soiree, or two, from within its gilded environs. Beauchamp was the husband of Sarah Churchill who was the daughter of Britain’s wartime leader Sir Winston Churchill who, in turn, had been a client of Dr Stephen Ward and his healing osteopathic hands. Moreover Beauchamp had been the appointed keeper of the Thursday Club records, which included numerous drawings, notes and pictures capturing the sordid shenanigans of the clubs illustrious members.
Beauchamp and Churchill
Beauchamp also photographed Vicki Martin who was one of Ward’s early protégées and who had been engaged to the Maharajah of Cooch Behar before she died in a dreadful car crash. Martin was also the best friend of Ruth Ellis, who had embraced infamy herself when she became the last female to be hung in Britain. Ellis was yet another member of Ward’s extraordinary stable of girls and we shall return to both Vicki Martin and Ruth Ellis in due course. Anthony Beauchamp, however, would commit ‘suicide’ in 1957 after overdosing on sleeping tablets.
A recurring theme throughout this narrative will be the alarming insouciance the dramatis personae displayed toward their own mortality. Far more than can be coincidental will die, supposedly, at their own hands.
But back to Dolphin Square; that we have established was synonymous for its resident’s wild parties, its A-list clientele and its convenient proximity to the Palace of Westminster; however, one might even conclude that it was also a hub for all that was sick and perverted about the more powerful movers and shakers of the twentieth century.
Indeed, this conclusion may gain further validity when we factor in that two of its more famous ex-residents include my old friends Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies. Now whatever else Chrissie and Mandy may have been, powerful movers and shakers they were most certainly not. So, why were they there? …
Blair Peach: After 31 years Met police say ‘sorry’ for their role in his killing
Previously secret report concludes that Blair Peach ‘almost certainly’ died after blow from member of special patrol group.
The Cass report was suppressed in 1980 by the late Dr John Burton, the coroner who oversaw the inquest into Peach’s death.
October 1979 After reviewing the Metropolitan police’s internal investigation, the director of public prosecutions, Sir Thomas Hetherington, says there is insufficient evidence to charge any officer.
“It was alleged at the time by Scallywag magazine that Stephen Milligan was originally approached by the security services to attempt to dissuade a well-known footballer coming towards the end of his career from continuing to hawk his story of gay sex sessions with two then serving cabinet ministers around Fleet Street.
“Milligan was a well respected MP and part time journalist.
Milligan allegedly approached the footballer who was not prepared to drop his attempts to sell the story.
“Milligan allegedly reported back to the security services who informed Milligan that unless the footballer did keep matters quiet he would be eliminated.
“Apparently there was more to the story than simply the gay sex aspect, the introduction of the footballer to the cabinet ministers was allegedly arranged by a third party who had very close links with an extremely powerful paedophile ring.
“The implication was that the cabinet ministers may also have been involved with the paedophile ring although this was not confirmed in the Scallywag report, however it was very clearly hinted at…
Geoffrey Dickens, Conservative MP for Huddersfield West
In 1983, he asked Home Secretary Leon Brittan to investigate paedophilia in the royal Court, at Buckingham Palace, and in the diplomatic and civil services. He claimed to have extensive private information on this: “I am going to give him a glimpse indise my private files, where people have written to me with information.” In one case, involving a civil servant, “there appears on face value to have been a cover up”(Times, November 24, 1983).
In 1986, he used parliamentary privilege to name a doctor and a vicar, both of whom were said to be involved in sexual offenses against the young (Times, March 15-21, 1986).
Alleged Sexual Offences (Private Prosecutions)
HC Deb 17 March 1986 vol 94 cc48-9W 48W Mr. Dickens asked the Attorney-General if he will now prosecute Dr. Raymond Colin Birt in respect of sexual offences involving an eight-year-old girl in Chelmsford.
The Attorney-General : No. The file prepared by the Essex police was first considered by the county prosecuting solicitor who, having had the benefit of counsel, advised the chief constable that the evidence was insufficient to justify the institution of criminal proceedings. Following an expression of intent by the mother of the child concerned to institute a private prosecution, the county prosecuting solicitor sought a second opinion from the Director of Public Prosecutions. He was also of the view that the evidence was insufficient and I agree with him.
Dr Colin Birt, was an anaesthetic SHO in the department from 1961-62. He subsequently became a consultant in Southend, and helped Bob Young in establishing the obstetric epidural service in Portsmouth (Bob Young served an attachment in Southend in 1974). Colin remembers how helpful Jim Hamer-Hodges was when he had problem cases out of hours.
John Bercow MP, began his Parliamentary career working as a researcher for Michael Clark.
Dr Michael Clark MP said in regards to Geoffrey Dickens ‘had earlier raised a point of order about the use, and possible abuse, of parliamentary privilege.’
Margaret Thatcher Edward Ted Heath and Baron Norman St John Stevas Lord Fawsley
Truthseeker@thewakeupcall09
Lord Norman St John-Stevas MP branded Geoffrey Dickens ‘a disgrace’ for naming doctor that raped an 8 year old girl. The girl suffered ‘horrific’ internal injuries & continued to suffer from psychological damage. The doctor is still alive and well, justice needs to be severed.
The girl’s mother had originally gone to Norman St John-Stevas,the Conservative MP for Chelmsford, for help.
I gave Lord St John Stevas name to Geoff Dickens…he was a peadophile vunerable to blackmail..his mate was Lord Robin Maugham who had a flat on the tottenham ct road where they brought young 13 yr old boys and then on to Brighton in st johns roller
2 March 1998
SECRET Service agents bugged and tailed a Conservative MP who later became a Cabinet minister, according to a potentially explosive book by a former agent now living in Australia.
Anthony Holland, who describes his work as an MI5 and MI6 “asset”, claims that the MP was targeted because he was thought to be having a gay affair with the Tory peer Lord Robin Maugham, nephew of the author Somerset Maugham.
If true, his revelations will further embarrass the security services and result in calls for tighter controls on their activities. Last year, the Labour government was rocked to its core by the revelations of former MI5 officer David Shayler, who described surveillance operations on potential “enemies of the state” – who included John Lennon, several Labour MPs and a young Jack Straw, now the Home Secretary.
In Mr Holland’s book, which is due to be published in the summer by a small Melbourne-based publisher, he describes operations in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Iran, Venezuela and Saudi Arabia. Working as a freelance agent for MI5 and MI6, Mr Holland, 54, claims his real skills as an engineer allowed him to be placed in sensitive areas by the security services.
During one period in 1969, he was found a job at the Rossing uranium mine in South West Africa in order to find out whom it was supplying. He says he reported that it was feeding the Israeli nuclear programme, and even describes one meeting he had with General Moshe Dayan, the Israeli defence minister.
“At that time, we were well aware what they were up to,” Mr Holland claimed from his Melbourne home. “They weren’t supposed to be developing their own bomb, but we helped them by turning a blind eye.”
In Britain, his most audacious operation involved gathering evidence of the MP’s alleged affair with Lord Maugham. He says the MP was regarded as a future minister and a potential security risk, although Mr Holland suspects the evidence was gathered to be used as leverage at a later date. Lord Maugham, who was openly homosexual, died in 1981.
The book, which is known only as “Project 21” at Geoff Coxon Publishing in Melbourne, describes how two addresses in London and Brighton, East Sussex, were put under round-the-clock surveillance. “By the time I joined the operation, most of the groundwork was done,” Mr Holland says in the book.
“They [MI5] had Maugham’s flat bugged throughout and the telephone tapped, and they had two miniature television cameras wired into the ceiling lights in the main bedroom and the lounge, so we could watch the show in comfort.”
The former minister denied the affair when approached by The Independent this week. He said he had no knowledge of ever having been put under surveillance.
Other chapters include details of a spying operation that Mr Holland says he conducted on a German project to help Iran develop a nuclear weapon.
Mr Holland wrote the book as the latest stage in a campaign to clear his name of a crime he says he did not commit. He was jailed in 1981 at Bradford Crown Court for allegedly receiving stolen goods amounting to pounds 250. He claims that he was framed by the security services.
Although it was his first offence, he was jailed for 12 months. Before his term was over, however, he was freed and sent to a new life in Australia, allegedly with the complicity of MI6. Melvyn Hodgson, the man he allegedly persuaded to steal for him, was found hanging in a prison cell in 1992.
His case has been taken up by Australian politicians and is being examined by the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
Dr John Illingworth, a Leeds city councillor, has examined the evidence against Mr Holland and described it this week as “preposterous”. He added: “I don’t believe he would be convicted today. It is difficult to check the rest of the claims in the book, but those that can be checked are accurate.”
Mr Holland said: “The only man who could clear me was Melvyn Hodgson because I believe he made a false confession. Once I heard he had been found hanging, I decided to blow the lid off these guys.
“I still don’t know why they framed me, but I had been associating with a suspected IRA commander and perhaps they thought I was going over.
Once the book is published, I know I’ll never be able to return to England. I just want to clear my name. I simply can’t let them win.”
Geoff Coxon, Mr Holland’s publisher, is hoping to avoid the kind of legal fight that resulted in Peter Wright’s book Spycatcher being dragged through the courts.
“If it is published in Australia, your Official Secrets Act does not apply,” he said.
“We are publishing in Victoria because in New South Wales truth is a defence, and we have gone to great lengths to prove the veracity of Anthony’s claims.
“You might have a bit of difficulty getting it over there, but if it goes well, we hope to launch it on the American market next year.”
The Home Office said it would not comment until it had seen the material. It never discusses operational matters.

Peter Clarke:
Peter Clarke: Former private secretary to the late Enoch Powell and an adviser to Sir Keith Joseph and a tutor at Swinton Conservative College
Peter Clarke was a right wing former special adviser and journalist, formerly with the Scotsman. In 2006 he was a columnist with the Southern Reporter weekly newspaper in the Scottish Borders.
Political Secretary to Enoch Powell 1972-1975
Mr Clarke, who lived at historic Kirkhope Tower near Selkirk, is a former private secretary to the late Enoch Powell and an adviser to the late Lord Joseph (Margaret Thatcher’s education minister, Sir Keith Joseph). However, in 1986, Mr Clarke opted to stand down as a candidate because of what he claims were attempts to get his then employer, Lord Hanson – a major donor to the Conservative Party – to sack him.
This, Mr Clarke believes, was because of ‘poison pen letters’, sent to the Conservative Party, containing allegations that he advocated sex with children as acceptable. The allegations had surfaced shortly after Mr Clarke agreed to donate £200 to the Federation of Conservative Students to help pay for the printing of a pamphlet that included proposals concerning changes to Scots law on incest.
He was educated at Loughborough Grammar School and spent a year at the University of Bradford before signing on for PPE at the University of Leeds and taking a masters at Balliol College, Oxford.
He became a tutor at Swinton Conservative College near Ripon, North Yorkshire, and in 1973 was selected as the Tory candidate for the safe Labour seat of Houghton-le-Spring, Co Durham, although did not stand at the 1974 election.
In 1972 he had been appointed political secretary to Powell and spent some time at Ulster Unionist party headquarters, from whence came his views on Thatcher’s “treachery”. At various times he worked for the BBC, Private Eye and The Scotsman.
Other libel actions had to be dropped by Mr Clarke due to lack of funds and, despite the win over The Independent, Mr Clarke and his late wife Gillian were left with debts of £600,000, forcing them to sell their then home at Kirkton Manor in Peeblesshire. Even a plea by Lord Joseph to the then Conservative Party chairman at Westminster, Sir Norman Fowler, proved fruitless, despite Lord Joseph stating that Mr Clarke’s “life, finances and career are in danger of being destroyed simply because of a series of misunderstandings”.
ONE of the Conservative Party’s most popular elder statesmen, Sir Teddy Taylor, has thrown his weight behind the campaign of a former political colleague, trying to clear his name of child sex allegations. Conservative Party bosses are still refusing to publicly discuss the predicament of their former candidate, Peter Clarke.

THE MET POLICE RESPONSE TO MY FOI REQUEST ON MARY MOSS FILES
DECISION
In accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act) this
response represents a Refusal Notice for this particular request under
Section 17(1).
REASON FOR DECISION
You have asked for information relating to what happened to the 49 boxes that were seized by The Met Police at Mary Moss address and neighbouring garden shed suggesting names she obtained by Carole Kasir saying that VIP’s were involved in child abuse at Elms Guest House in Barnes from 1978 to 1982. The MPS can neither confirm nor deny that it holds any information relating to this request by virtue of the following exemptions:
Section 23(5) Information Supplied by or concerning certain Security
Bodies
Section 30(3) Criminal Investigations
Section 31(3) Law enforcement
Section 40(5) Personal Information
Should it be held, constituents of this information would attract Section 23, others Section 30, others Section 31 and other constituents would attract Section 40 of the Act.
It should not be surmised that should the information be held by the MPS that we would be applying Sections 23, 30, 31 and 40 to the same pieces of information.
Please see the legal annex for the sections of the Act that are referred to in this response.
Section 23 is a class based absolute exemption and there is no requirement to consider the public interest in this area.
Section 30 Investigations and proceedings conducted by public authorities Section 30 is a class based qualified exemption and consideration of the public interest must be given as to whether neither confirming nor denying the information exists is the appropriate response.
Section 30 Factors against maintaining a neither confirm nor deny stance To confirm whether or not the MPS holds information relevant to your request would satisfy the public need to know about Police operations.
This would allow them to exercise their rights to access such material and would allow the public to be better informed.
The release of such information would provide an insight into the police service and enable the public to have better understanding of
effectiveness of the police. The release of information could allow the public to make informed decisions about how police gather intelligence.
This would greatly assist in the quality and accuracy of public debate, which would otherwise likely be steeped in rumour and speculation.
Section 30 Factors favouring maintaining a neither confirm nor deny stance By confirming or denying your nine questions relating to what happened to the 49 boxes that were seized by The Met Police at Mary Moss address could hinder the prevention or detection of crime. The MPS would not wish to reveal any details that may or may not have happened at the Mary Moss address as this would clearly undermine the law enforcement and
investigative process.
Peter Glencross is apparently still alive and living in Brighton, Sussex, England.
Actor Peter Dolphin, allegedly charged with Child Pornography Offences, was on the EGH list
Apr. 3, 1967 – London, England, U.K. – Singer TOM JONES, wearing ‘It’s the Talk of the Town’ suit, accompanied by PETER DOLPHIN wearing, ‘We’ll Gather Lilac’ stage outfit, went along to Mark Russell to see the Tom Jones Collection designed by Gloria.
Peter Dolphin was an actor, originally from Birmingham. He was a regular on British television, including a 1961 appearance in the legendary Danger Man series (an episode called ‘Sabotage’) and was in Dixon Of Dock Green a number of times. In 1966, in a gap between acting jobs, he briefly joined Radio City as a newsreader. Unfortunately it was not a good time to be on the station. Only a few days into Peter’s offshore career, the station was silenced by a raid on the fort. This dramatic event led to the death of station boss, Reg Calvert. Radio City was kept off the air for a week and, by the time it returned, Peter had decided that there were safer ways to make a living. He left the fort and returned to acting. In the seventies he appeared in Gerry Anderson’s series U.F.O (an episode called ‘The Psychobombs’) and, in the eighties, he was in another science fiction series Tripods. He moved to France in 1992. A French website has reported that he died on 1st May 2009, aged 73. (Photo provided by Peter. Research into his acting career from UFO – The Series, The Actors of British Science Fiction, Fantasy & Cult TV Shows and IMDB.)

“What does Norman Lamont know about the suicide of Jocelyn Cadbury MP, his former Parliamentary Private Secretary, less than a month after Elm Guest House was raided?”
Jocwlyn Cabury was the younger brother of Sir Adrian Cadbury. He was educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated with a degree in Economics and Anthropology. Alongside his academic studies, he was a keen rower.[2]
In 1970, he began working at Lucas Industries in Birmingham, as an industrial relations officer. From 1974, he worked for Cadbury.[2]
Adrian Cadbury became a leading expert on “corporate governance”, and chaired a committee of inquiry whose findings, published in 1993, were universally known as the Cadbury Code.

Government ‘denying sexually abused children compensation’
Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority refused payments to almost 700 children on grounds they gave consent, say charities
18 July 2017
Sexually abused children as young as 12 are being denied compensation by a government agency on the grounds that they gave consent, according to a coalition of charities.
The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) has refused payments to almost 700 child victims even if their attackers have been jailed, freedom of information requests have revealed.
Five charities – Barnardo’s, Victim Support, Liberty, Rape Crisis and the National Working Group (NWG) – have written to the justice secretary, David Lidington, demanding he reviews CICA guidelines.
It is illegal to have sexual activity with anyone under 16 but CICA does not automatically make payments to all victims.
‘I was warned off’ says detective involved in historic paedophile probe

He recalled: “I put up a proposal asking that if we had an obscene publication unit, why can’t we afford a team to focus more on a proper intelligence led approach.

Pedophiles arrested
‘more powerful than the Mafia
by Mark Burdman
On Feb. 2 , in London’ s Old Bailey court, four men were convicted for running a ring of pedophiles-adults who sex usually use children-which had recruited at least 150 young boys , some as young as nine, for repeated sodomic abuse.
It is the biggest ring of pedophiles yet uncovered in Britain.
British newspapers Feb. 3 said it had been run as a “Mafia like conspiracy. ” One man arrested was too frightened to testify, declaring that the ring was “more powerful than the Mafia. “
According to experts on child abuse in Britain, this case is only the beginning. Interviewed on British television Feb. 3 , Dianne Core, head of the Childwatch organization, stated that “people in high places” were involved in pedophiliac activities , and that the whole matter would “explode” during the coming months.
The London Daily Telegraph’s crime correspondent reported Feb. 3 : “Despite the convictions , police believe there is still a flourishing pedophile network in Britain, with a sophistication said to resemble the Mafia. “
The most prominent figure in the ring, Colin Peters, was trained at Oxford, and was formerly a senior adviser in the British Foreign Office. Following his Foreign Office work, he prosecuted cases for the British Customs and Excise.
Investigators working on the case had interrogated at least one senior member of the House of Lords , one vicar in West London, and officials in Whitehall , “but the police did not have sufficient evidence or manpower to pursue their suspicions ,” the Telegraph reported.
Alan Delaney, the official head of the ring, is a cleaning company director. Delaney would procure young boys for pedophiles , by putting job advertisements in the press .
The ring would also procure boys who were members of a junior soccer team.
Many of the youngsters had been at special boarding schools for educationally below-normal children.
Others were runaways , who were caught up by members of the Delaney-Peters ring, who would roam” the streets of London scouting for boys .
According to the Feb. 3 Telegraph account, the young boys were “passed around its members for sexual degradation and, when the attraction faded, abandoned to a life of prostitution, drugs , and petty crime . . . . The boys were tempted off the unfamiliar London streets with promises of food, accommodation, money, and a sympathetic ear. Some were plied with drugs, including cocaine, and sexually assaulted while under their influence.”
When he was brought before presiding Judge Pownall for sentencing Feb. 3, Colin Peters was told: “On your own admission, you found boys to satisfy your lust. You were prepared to encourage them to drugs or to lace their drinks and you have made matters worse by trying to get witnesses not to attend court. You did that to save your own skin. That was disgraceful. You of all people should have known that. “
‘A permanent conspiracy’ British deputy police superintendent John Lewis , who oversaw the investigations , is calling on Scotland Yard to create a special squad to deal with pedophile rings. Lewis declared Feb. 2 that “these people are as organized and sophisticated as any other criminals, and are involved in a permanent conspiracy which is renewed daily as they hunt for new boys. They need to be targeted like bank robbers. It
is important that we should not feel complacent. Positive policing should be continued.”
British police investigators were reportedly angered by the light sentence meted out to Peters , Delaney, and their two collaborators. The four received, in total, only 34 years of sentences. Peters received only 8 years, for combined charges of conspiracy to commit buggery (sodomy), buggery and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. Delaney was jailed for 1 1 years , on conspiracy to commit buggery, indecent assault, taking indecent photographs , indecency with a child, and attempted buggery. One of the four was given only 6 years.
A senior British police officer told the Daily Express Feb.
4: “It should have been more. The damage these people have
done to young lives is very severe.”
In an editorial entitled, “Is This Justice?” the Express Feb. 4 called the sentences “woefully inadequate . . . weighed against the enormity of their crimes and the emotional and physical damage they did to their victims , some of whom were only nine years old. “
Moncini and the Satanist track
The London case has refocused attention on another recent case, in Trieste, Italy, involving one Alessandro Moncini, a businessman nabbed by law enforcement in the United States and convicted in 1988 for importing child pornography (although he received a paltry one-year sentence and was released “on good behavior” after serving less than three months in jail).
Investigators in Trieste working on the Moncini case have recently been to the United States, attempting to accumulate more information on what they believe to be a “most exclusive ring of international pedophiles.”
Informed sources in Britain believe that the Delaney Peters ring and the Moncini-linked networks are connected,
and that both are part of an international pedophile conspiracy.
U. S. law enforcement officials have in their possession tapes of Moncini attempting to procure a young girl, for Satanic-ritual abuse purposes.
Experts on ritual abuse stress that pedophile rings , as horrifying as they are in and of them selves , are actually fronts for, or extensions of, hard-core Satanist cults , for whom the pedophiles provide young boys.
In Britain, however, the Home Office has repeatedly indicated its opposition to allowing the matter of satanism to be pursued by police and in the courts.
Should this attitude continue, it will be impossible to crack the command-structure controlling powerful pedophile rings.
Investigative leads
Experts in pedophilia and Satanism report to EIR, that
that the dossiers on previously publicized cases of European
based pedophile rings have never been fully closed, and may
now be reopened. These involve pedophile rings that were
either cracked or exposed in the 1 986-87 period. Three of
them are worth noting:
• On June 1 8, 1987, the head of the Belgian national office of UNICEF was arrested for involvement in a large scale child pornography and pedophilia ring. Ring leader Jozef Verbeeck had used his influential position in UNICEF to procure children, often from broken homes, some as young as eight months old, for some 400 wealthy clients across Europe. The basement of UNICEF in Brussels was used to store pornographic pictures of children.
• In spring-summer 1987, Dutch authorities uncovered
one of the worst cases of collective child sex abuse in record
ed history. In a small town called Oode Pekala, during the
Easter holidays , a gang of pedophiles , dressed as clowns,
lured more than 70 children into taking part in pornographic
movies.
• On Aug. 3, 1986, the Sunday Times of London “Insight Team” exposed the activities of a secretive organization called the Spartacus Club, based near Amsterdam in Holland, which sent pedophile literature to 25 ,000 subscribers in Great Britain, and which specialized in procuring boys from the Philippines for pedophile activity. Headed by one John Stamford, the club was part of Spartacus International, which published homosexual literature and the Paedo Alert News, “a magazine about boy love. ”

OPERATION HEDGEROW: PART TWO
LONDON GANGS, A COVER UP & THE TRIESTE CONNECTION
“Don’t open the box, you will never get the lid back on.”
Following on from my previous blog post regarding Operation Hedgerow, Colin Peters and Alistair Laing, I’ve done further research in to some of the missing details of the case and have collated all my findings here for reference. The picture is far more complex than I originally blogged.
COLIN PETERS
Colin John Meredith Peters (aka John Meredith Colin Peters) was born on 10th May 1943 in Inverness.
1967: Arrested alongside Alistair Laing in Naples for child abuse. Robin Jasper of the Foreign Office British Consul in Naples gave them legal assistance. No charges were brought. (View)
Became Secretary General of British Chamber of Commerce in Casablanca, Morocco. (View)
1974: Returned to the UK to study law, then specialised in ‘indirect tax’. (View)
1975: Called to the bar (BA Oxon) (The Times, 26 Nov 1975)
1980: Abused a 15 year old boy who had runaway from his home in Glasgow, in the sauna in his home. The boy had been picked up within 10 minutes of arriving in London and was used and abused by Peters for four years.
1982-1987: Operation Hedgerow
1987: Arrested and charged for his part in one of the biggest paedophile rings the police had ever busted, which spanned Brent and Ealing.
1988: Trial begins at the Central Criminal Court
1989: Jailed for eight years.
1990: Disbarred for disciplinary reasons in October.
As you can see from his website, Peters omits to mention quite a number of key details of his depraved life:
How has this man continued to obtain work from the government despite decades of depravity?
OPERATION HEDGEROW
Operation Hedgerow was overseen by two senior detectives – DCI’s John Lewis and Roger Gaspar under Commander David Stevens. It was kickstarted after a 10 year old boy told his foster parents that he had been abused by Kenneth Martin. When police began looking into the allegations, they uncovered a huge paedophile network, including at least two overlapping. Detectives believed the ring stretched across continents, but were refused funding or extra manpower in order to investigate fully. Gaspar has subsequently said that elements of the investigation were shut down after it became too close to senior officials.
Stats:
This was a huge police operation and the investigation involved some staggering numbers:
20-23 people were eventually charged under Operation Hedgerow (there is some discrepency over the final figure);
The operation culminated in three trials;
18 victims gave evidence from behind a screen during the Peters trial;
The trial against Peters etc was the first in the UK to allow children to provide video evidence in court, so as to lessen the distress of recounting the abuse they have suffered, as well as preventing them having to face their abusers;
It lasted three months (13 weeks);
Police obtained 653 complaints of abuse against hundreds of children;
It is believed the ring was international, but funds were not given to allow them to investigate fully.
Victims:
Victims of the paedophile ring came from across the UK, including:
Youngsters were taken from Victoria Station, as well as three special needs schools (two in the West Country, and one in the South East).
Areas:
The accused came mainly from London areas including:
Kilburn
Harlseden
Stoke Newington
Twickenham
Willesden
Hackney
Acton
As well as Hastings in East Sussex and Brighton in West Sussex.
KENNETH MARTIN
Martin was central to the Brent element of the paedophile ring. He was a depraved individual, whose offending record stretched back to 1942. He was also sentenced for abuse during the Playland trials in 1975 – at which time he was a hot chestnut seller living in Dansey Place, Soho.
As you’ll notice throughout this blog post, the names of all those convicted in the Playland investigation have – like so many others – mysteriously never been made public, but piecing together news articles and online information, I was able to collate a list:
Basil Andrew Cohen
David Archer, Forest Gate
Cyril Clapp
Theodore Raymond John Mules Brown, Kew
Walter Richard Cowell, Knightsbridge
Charles Hornby, Montague Square, Marylebone
Kenneth Martin, Soho
Andrew Novac, Marylebone
Malcolm Raywood, Wandsworth
By 1981, Martin was living in a flat provided to him by the Paddington Churches Housing Association (based at 296 Willesden Lane, NW2), just streets away from where he had abused 11 year old children for which he was under a two year suspended sentence. (Bernard Stewart Deane of the PCHA charity claimed background checks were made on all tenants.)
At the time of Operation Hedgerow, Martin was a street trader, who ran a market stall at the Sunday Brick Lane Market selling toy trains etc, which enabled him to befriend, groom and lure boys. His home was full of items that would appeal to children – such as train sets, snooker table, sweets etc.
INVESTIGATION
Lewis, Gaspar and their team undertook surveillance on Kenneth Martin’s house, and at the same time they worked closely alongside members of the social services department at Brent Council – in particular David Divine, the director, who designated a team of social workers to assist the police. They then took on the mammoth task of collating information about who was visiting the property, as well as interviewing over 150 children, whilst ensuring no children were put at risk at any point during the investigation. Many of the children had been terrified by Martin, and so a lot of time was spent gaining their trust, with interviews taking place in more relaxed atmospheres, such as McDonald’s. The police continued their surveillance on Martin’s home, tailing visitors to see where they went, but two months into the surveillance it was clear a boy was staying the night at Martin’s home and they were forced to raid it. There they found Martin and the boy naked in Martin’s bedroom.
A designated telephone hotline was set up by Brent Council for children to report abuse which was manned by social workers.
In one single raid, 20 arrests were made and by December 1987, 21 men and two youths had been arrested. Fourteen adults and one youth from Brighton had been questioned, three adults and three youths had been released without charge, and three men had already appeared in court. Police envisaged further arrests were likely.
Due to concerns about the disappearance of one boy named ‘Mark’, Martin’s flat (provided for him by the Paddington Churches Housing Association – a charity funded by government and local councils) was searched more rigorously after police received information that a new ornamental fountain had recently been installed in the grounds.
Operation Hedgerow ran at the same time as police were investigating other major paedophile rings within London, so Gaspar and Lewis’s team liaised with other detectives who were working on some of the most depraved paedophile rings, including:
Dirty Dozen: Croydon, South London
John Thornton, 36, New Addington
Edward Talbot, 47, Luton
John Stead, 23, New Addington
Lennie Smith, 33
Daniel Paine, 33, Kentish Town

OPERATION HEDGEROW: PERPETRATORS
Of the 20-23 perpetrators finally bought to justice, the full list of names is not publicly known. However, using newspaper reports and online information, I have collated as much information as I can.
(Ages given as of 1988/89)
Colin John Meredith Peters, 43 – Barrister – Chepstow Road, Bayswater, London – Known as ‘Mother Hen‘.
Ernest Frank Whittington, 63 – Caretaker – George Lansbury House, Harlesden, London – Known as ‘the Chocolate man‘.
Alan Herbert Delaney, 47 – Company director – Shirley Drive, Hounslow, London and Kilburn Park Road, Willesden – where he was a trainer of a North London youth football team.
Victor James Burnett, 42 – Trainee cab driver – Hanbury Road, Acton, London – Known as ‘Mother Hen‘.
Many of the children abused by the ring were subsequently trafficked into prostitution, some became procurers themselves (like Patrick and Sean Norris), whilst one was so psychologically damaged he was detained in Broadmoor indefinitely.
Comment left on a blog from someone who had the misfortune to encounter Peters:
Perpetrators
As for the perpetrators, further details of what became of some of them can be found in Part one but this is too extensive a post to include further details here.
FOLLOWING ON FROM THE TRIAL
Roger Gaspar and John Lewis wrote an internal report entitled ‘People Not Property‘, which highlighted the need for a specialist unit to investigate crimes against children as there were many different elements that they couldn’t investigate – namely, connections to people in high places. It was presented to the Association of Chief Police Officers, but, surprise surprise, was shelved.
Despite evidence and concerns the tentacles of the ring also stretched internationally (one article claimed boys were trafficked from the Far East), the team were refused further funding or officers, so another important element of this case was never investigated.
THE MONCINI NETWORK – SATANIC RITUAL ABUSE
One of those elements was a link to the Alessandro Moncini network in Trieste, Italy, which was uncovered by US law enforcement in 1988. This network involved satanic ritual abuse.
In a scenario similar to that of Operation Ore, where extensive investigations weren’t carried out following information provided by US officials, a tip off in 1988 about the Moncini connection couldn’t be investigated due to lack of funds and manpower.
Interestingly, a Freedom of Information request regarding Operation Hedgerow in 2013 was refused by the Met Police of a number of grounds – one of them under Section 23(5): Information Supplied by or concerning certain Security Bodies being a security issue.

Pedophiles arrested ‘more powerful than the mafia’
On Feb. 2 , in London’s Old Bailey court, four men were convicted for running a ring of pedophiles – adults who sexually use children which had recruited at least 150 young boys, some as young as nine, for repeated sodomic abuse. It is the biggest ring of pedophiles yet uncovered in Britain.
British newspapers Feb. 3 said it had been run as a “Mafia like conspiracy.” One man arrested was too frightened to testify, declaring that the ring was “more powerful than the Mafia.”
According to experts on child abuse in Britain, this case is only the beginning. Interviewed on British television Feb. 3 , Dianne Core, head of the Childwatch organization, stated that “people in high places” were involved in pedophiliac activities, and that the whole matter would “explode” during the coming months. The London Daily Telegraph’s crime correspondent reported Feb. 3 : “Despite the convictions, police believe there is still a flourishing pedophile network in Britain, with a sophistication said to resemble the Mafia.”
The most prominent figure in the ring, Colin Peters , was trained at Oxford, and was formerly a senior adviser in the British Foreign Office. Following his Foreign Office work, he prosecuted cases for the British Customs and Excise. Investigators working on the case had interrogated at least one senior member of the House of Lords, one vicar in West London, and officials in Whitehall , “but the police did not have sufficient evidence or manpower to pursue their suspicions,” the Telegraph reported.
Alan Delaney, the official head of the ring, is a cleaning company director. Delaney would procure young boys for pedophiles by putting job advertisements in the press. The ring would also procure boys who were members of a junior soccer team. Many of the youngsters had been at special boarding schools for educationally below-normal children. Others were runaways, who were caught up by members of the Delaney-Peters ring, who would roam the streets of London scouting for boys .
According to the Feb. 3 Telegraph account, the young boys were “passed around its members for sexual degradation and, when the attraction faded, abandoned to a life of prostitution, drugs , and petty crime . . . . The boys were tempted off the unfamiliar London streets with promises of food, accommodation, money, and a sympathetic ear. Some were plied with drugs , including cocaine, and sexually assaulted while under their influence.”
When he was brought before presiding Judge Pownall for sentencing Feb. 3, Colin Peters was told: “On your own admission, you found boys to satisfy your lust. You were prepared to encourage them to drugs or to lace their drinks and you have made matters worse by trying to get witnesses not to attend court. You did that to save your own skin. That was disgraceful. You of all people should have known that.”
‘A permanent conspiracy’
British deputy police superintendent John Lewis , who oversaw the investigations , is calling on Scotland Yard to create a special squad to deal with pedophile rings. Lewis declared Feb. 2 that “these people are as organized and sophisticated as any other criminals, and are involved in a permanent conspiracy which is renewed daily as they hunt for new boys. They need to be targeted like bank robbers. It is important that we should not feel complacent. Positive policing should be continued.”
British police investigators were reportedly angered by the light sentence meted out to Peters , Delaney, and their two collaborators. The four received, in total, only 34 years of sentences. Peters received only 8 years, for combined charges of conspiracy to commit buggery (sodomy), buggery and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. Delaney was jailed for 1 1 years , on conspiracy to commit buggery, indecent assault, taking indecent photographs , indecency with a child, and attempted buggery. One of the four was given only 6 years.
A senior British police officer told the Daily Express Feb.4: “It should have been more. The damage these people have done to young lives is very severe.” In an editorial entitled, “Is This Justice?” the Express Feb. 4 called the sentences “woefully inadequate . . . weighed against the enormity of their crimes and the emotional and physical damage they did to their victims , some of whom were only nine years old.”
Moncini and the Satanist track
The London case has refocused attention on another recent case, in Trieste, Italy, involving one Alessandro Moncini, a businessman nabbed by law enforcement in the United States and convicted in 1988 for importing child pornography (although he received a paltry one-year sentence and was released “on good behavior” after serving less than three months in jail).
Investigators in Trieste working on the Moncini case have recently been to the United States, attempting to accumulate more information on what they believe to be a “most exclusive ring of international pedophiles.”
Informed sources in Britain believe that the Delaney/Peters ring and the Moncini-linked networks are connected, and that both are part of an international pedophile conspiracy. U. S. law enforcement officials have in their possession tapes of Moncini attempting to procure a young girl, for Satanic-ritual abuse purposes. Experts on ritual abuse stress that pedophile rings , as horrifying as they are in and of themselves , are actually fronts for, or extensions of, hard-core Satanist cults, for whom the pedophiles provide young boys.
In Britain, however, the Home Office has repeatedly indicated its opposition to allowing the matter of satanism to be pursued by police and in the courts. Should this attitude continue, it will be impossible to crack the command-structure controlling powerful pedophile rings.
Investigative leads
Experts in pedophilia and Satanism report to EIR, that that the dossiers on previously publicized cases of European based pedophile rings have never been fully closed, and may now be reopened. These involve pedophile rings that were either cracked or exposed in the 1986-87 period. Three of them are worth noting:
• On June 18 , 1987, the head of the Belgian national office of UNICEF was arrested for involvement in a large scale child pornography and pedophilia ring. Ring leader Jozef Verbeeck had used his influential position in UNICEF to procure children, often from broken homes, some as young as eight months old, for some 400 wealthy clients across Europe. The basement of UNICEF in Brussels was used to store pornographic pictures of children.
• In spring-summer 1987, Dutch authorities uncovered one of the worst cases of collective child sex abuse in recorded history. In a small town called Oode Pekala, during the Easter holidays, a gang of pedophiles dressed as clowns, lured more than 70 children into taking part in pornographic movies.
• On Aug. 3, 1986, the Sunday Times of London “Insight Team” exposed the activities of a secretive organization called the Spartacus Club, based near Amsterdam in Holland, which sent pedophile literature to 25 ,000 subscribers in Great Britain, and which specialized in procuring boys from the Philippines for pedophile activity. Headed by one John Stamford, the club was part of Spartacus International, which published homosexual literature and the Paedo Alert News, “a magazine about boy love.”

CHILD SLAVES, By Peter Lee-Wright

An interesting annotation was left under the above FoI request giving an insight in to Howard-Edmund on 27th August 2015:
Bryan Howard Edmunds was described as a market trader. I knew him in the early 80’s.
He was employed by a firm building motorways definitely on the M11 and others, and lived in a touring caravan parked on the motorway site, which was devoid of electricity and running water. He was known as ‘Gummy’ due to having no teeth, and his personal hygeine was deplorable. He was filthy.
I can remember at least one young boy staying in his caravan. This boy was passed off as his nephew. We could not understand how anyone would allow their child to stay with such a dirty individual. We thought Howard Edmunds to be the perfect model of a pervert, with his thick-lensed spectacles, but in those days paedophilia was not really suspected nor reported on in such a scale as to arouse any suspicion.
BBC embroiled in further scandal as executive ‘filmed Dutch child abuse movies‘
DETECTIVES are investigating claims that a retired BBC executive abused young boys at his home in Amsterdam.
He is said to have owned a three-storey property near the city centre in the Eighties. Boys from British care homes were allegedly ferried there to take part in sex films.
Police have been told that the BBC employee was involved in the abuse and played a key role in distributing the films.
The news comes as Dutch police prepare to re-open an investigation into child sex, which may be broadened to include British paedophiles operating in the Netherlands.
A whistleblower tipped off the BBC Investigations Unit two weeks ago about the man, who has since retired from the Corporation.
The information was passed to the Metropolitan Police’s Operation Yewtree, the unit set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal to look into historic sex crimes.
Although the Sunday Express knows both the identity of the alleged abuser and his former address in Amsterdam, we have decided not to print the details to avoid jeopardising any police investigation. Scotland Yard refused to comment but the BBC last night confirmed it had alerted the Met.
A spokesman said: “Where allegations of criminal wrongdoing are received by the BBC, we pass them on to the police. We cannot comment on individual cases.”
Former social worker Chris Fay, who advised the National Association of Young People In Care, has shown a picture of the former BBC executive to an alleged victim.
Mr Fay said: “He confirmed that this was one of the men who abused him at the flat in Amsterdam when he was a boy.
“The man apparently owned the building. He let the bottom flat to a known British paedophile, kept the middle residence for himself and used the attic for filming pornographic films involving both adults and children.
“He is said to have travelled back and forth between London and Amsterdam, playing a key role in the distribution of the videos throughout Britain and Europe.” Last week, Dutch prosecutors confirmed they are to investigate the Netherlands former justice ministry secretary-general Joris Demmink for allegedly raping two Turkish boys.
Demmink will be questioned over allegations that he raped the boys, aged between 12 and 15, while visiting Istanbul in the mid-Nineties. He denies the claims and says he was not in Turkey at that time.
In 1998, his name came up during a Dutch inquiry, called the Rolodex Affair, into an Amsterdam paedophile network. The probe was shut down shortly afterwards, prompting accusations of a cover-up.
A spokeswoman for the Office of Public Prosecutions in The Hague said the Demmink case might trigger a wider investigation into British paedophiles in Amsterdam. She said: “The investigation will initially focus solely on the allegations made by the two Turkish boys.
“Whether the investigation starts to look at other things at a later stage, we don’t know, it’s too early to say.”
However, sources revealed Dutch and British police met last summer on the Isle of Wight.

Vile paedophile Eddie Heath
FA discovers file documenting football paedophile Eddie Heath’s ‘trail of terror’ between clubs
Jan 14 2017
Ex-Charlton Athletic youth player Russell Davy, who has told of his abuse at the hands of Heath, says an FA safeguarding officer told him they have ‘recovered a personal file’
The latest development in the football scandal emerged as ex- Charlton Athletic youth player Russell Davy flew from his home in Lanzarote to give evidence to police.
The ex-goalie, now 50, told the Sunday Mirror last month how he had warned the FA of Heath’s attacks on him more than 30 years ago. Now he reveals his lawyers sent a “letter of claim” to Charlton when the scandal broke, documenting abuse.
But he has heard nothing from the League One club. “I want to know why I was left alone with him for so long so he could abuse me,” said Mr Davy. “They haven’t even contacted me. It’s disgusting.”
He also claims the FA has so far failed to recover a letter he sent to them about the abuse in 1986. He never got a reply and his life spiralled into a nightmare of drink, crime and drugs, at one point fighting a £600-a-week cocaine addition.
Accusations by more than 350 alleged victims are being investigated by police, with 155 suspects identified, involving 148 clubs.
Last night a Charlton spokesman said the club had “launched an internal investigation” into Mr Davy’s allegations, adding: “The club has contacted police.”
It is understood his teenage son was also on board and died at the scene along with the aircraft’s pilot Stephen Holdich, 49, and Jonathan Waller, a friend of Mr Carter’s.
Mr Carter, a lifelong Chelsea fan, was a close friend of Matthew Harding, the club’s former vice-chairman and major benefactor, who also died in a helicopter crash 11 years ago in similar circumstances. Both Mr Carter and Mr Harding were travelling in twin-engined Squirrel helicopters
Nick Scheele, who was chairman of Jaguar at the time, Duncan Sutherland, the former city council’s development director, and PR guru John Clarke got together to raise funds for a new NSPCC centre in Coventry.
The committee which kickstarted the campaign included more than 20 of the leading figures in the city at the time time including MPs, trade unionists, business and industrial leaders.
Nick Scheele stressed at the inaugural meeting in the Jaguar Browns Lane board-room that the objective of the NSPCC Coventry Kids Appeal was to raise over #400,000 to fund an NSPCC centre in Whitefriars Street, on land opposite the existing cramped NSPCC offices situated above a wine bar – and the aim was to do it in just three years.
The appeal committee not only met that target but topped it thanks to a generous #50,000 cheque from former Chelsea FC vice-chairman Matthew Harding, just months before his premature death in a helicopter crash on the way back from a soccer match in Lancashire.
The NSPCC centre was built on time and opened by Princess Margaret, the NSPCC president, in 1996
Jill Dando was friends with Chelsea boss Matthew Harding who was linked to Mandelson and Blair and realised that Mossad was running blackmail-paedophile rings to trap politicians and celebs.
While the detective leading the inquiry into the television presenter’s murder says the case will never be solved, Byline Times reveals a crucial clue the police missed.
As Graham Johnson and Dan Evans of the Byline Investigates team have exclusively revealed today, detectives investigating the murder of Jill Dando 20 years ago overlooked an important clue about her killing. In 1999, Scotland Yard investigated evidence that someone purporting to be her brother tried to access personal details from utility companies three months before the BBC presenter was killed.
Operation Oxborough came to the conclusion this was most likely the result of tabloid journalists trying to track down her new address after Dando announced her engagement to Alan Farthing.
Byline Times can reveal…. voice mail interception is the most likely way Dando was targeted by her killer.
Byline Times can reveal…. voice mail interception is the most likely way Dando was targeted by her killer.
But thanks to expert analysis from former Sunday Times investigator turned whistle-blower John Ford, it is possible the detected blagging operation was to obtain mobile phone billing in order to access Dando’s voicemails.
The police were not to know at the time, but phone hacking was rife in the late 1990s among private detectives and journalists working for Britain’s tabloid press. Looking back, former detective Jacqui Hames, a co-presenter of Crimewatch with Dando and a victim of phone hacking herself, told Byline Times: “There was a lot going on in her private life. I’d be shocked if Jill wasn’t being hacked around the time of her murder.”
Byline Times can also reveal something even more disturbing about phone hacking beyond the privacy intrusion: voicemail interception is the most likely way Dando was targeted by her killer.
Timeline of the Hit
Jill Dando was killed with a single shot to the head from a 9mm semi-automatic pistol within seconds of parking her car and approaching the door to her flat in Gowan Avenue in Fulham on the morning of 26 April 1999. Police have consistently been mystified about how her killer could have known she was coming, as the 37-year-old presenter did not live there anymore, having moved in with her fiance in Chiswick months before.
Despite exhaustive searches of CCTV and eye witness reports, detectives could not discover any evidence Dando was followed when she left her new home around 10.00 am before arriving at the doorstep of her old flat at 11.30 am. The only eye-witness evidence is from a postman delivering to her house in Fulham around 10.00 am who said he believed that he was being watched by a man in a dark suit.
However, analysis of Dando’s phone billing records reveals the most plausible way any killer could have known she was coming – voicemails.
At the time of Dando’s murder, the ‘dark arts’… were deployed by private detectives who worked simultaneously with Fleet Street, corrupt police, and underworld gangs
Dando’s agent, the Roseman Organisation in Chiswick, had been pressing her to change the ink and the paper of her fax machine of her house in Fulham as an important contract was failing to come through. Allasonne Lewis from the agency left a voicemail on her phone at 10.09 am that morning, which Dando retrieved two minutes later.
Dando then drove to the Kings Mall shopping centre near to her new home, calling her agent back around 10.30 am as she bought fax paper from Rymans before trying to find an ink cartridge for her fax machine at Dixons. Her agent’s assistant left another voicemail on her phone at 10:44 am
Dando’s BMW was last caught on CCTV en route to Fulham around 11.10 am. On Fulham Road, she stopped to buy two fillets of sole from Copes Fishmongers. The last call on her mobile was at 11:42 am from the passerby who found her body and used her phone to call the ambulance.
Jill Dando was declared dead at Hammersmith Hospital an hour and a half later.
Stalker or Assassin?
Because of the near impossibility of anyone following or tracking Dando’s movements on the morning of the 29 April (as far as they knew then), lead detectives in the murder investigation soon began to gravitate to the idea that an obsessive stalker was the most likely suspect in the murder.
“I’d be shocked if Jill wasn’t being hacked around the time of her murder.”
Dando’s friend and colleague, former detective Jacqui Hames
Within a month, they brought in the forensic psychologist Dr Adrian West who eventually provided three offender profiles. Though the first concluded a ‘lone stalker’ was just one of many possibilities, the second moved closer to the theory.
A third offender profile was drawn up after police charged Barry George with Dando’s murder in 2000. The 33-year-old suffered from a number of mental disorders and learning difficulties and had an IQ of 75. George was convicted in 2001, but his conviction was quashed due to the unreliability of the evidence six years later.
Had the police known what we all know now about the vulnerability of voicemail messages and the industrial use of phone hacking at the time, it’s unlikely they would have relied so heavily on the obsessive stalker theory, and instead would have turned to a different set of suspects.
Now it looks more likely that Dando’s voicemail was hacked, and that could have given away details of her whereabouts to her murderer(s), the focus turns to organised crime and its media connections.
Criminal Media Nexus
There is no suggestion that any tabloid newspaper would have deployed phone hacking in order to target Dando for anything but salacious gossip. But their failure to admit what they were doing could well have obstructed the original police investigation.
According to John Ford, the ‘omerta’ or code of silence around phone hacking in Fleet Street meant the police back then had no idea Dando’s mobile could have been targeted. If they had, detectives might have checked if her voicemails had been intercepted and tracked the number of whoever intercepted it.
At the time of Dando’s murder, the ‘dark arts’ of obtaining confidential records by deception (‘blagging’), phone and computer hacking were deployed by private detectives who worked simultaneously with Fleet Street, corrupt police, and underworld gangs.
Though there’s no suggestion they were at all involved in the Dando murder, the notorious detective agency Southern Investigations in South London was a prolific supplier of confidential information to journalists at both the News of the World and the Mirror Group at the time of Dando’s murder.
At this time, in 1999, a bug had been placed in its Thornton Heath office by specialist police investigating the axe-murder of the founder of the detective agency, Daniel Morgan, 12 years earlier. The surveillance tapes caught his former partner, Jonathan Rees, boasting to journalists about his personal contacts in the Dando investigation, and telling a senior Mirror journalist that everything they were doing was ‘illegal’.
Had the police known what we all know now about the vulnerability of voice mail messages… it’s unlikely they would have relied so heavily on the obsessive stalker theory
Meanwhile, Rees and his partner Fillery were reported to have worked for several underworld organisations, including helping to track down an undercover officer who had caught the South London gangster Joey Pyle importing heroin. According to an undercover informant and former police officer, Derek Haslam, Rees told him once that he had helped track down someone from Eastern Europe who was later assassinated.
But Southern Investigations was only one of many organisations involved in tracing, hacking and blagging around the end of the millennium. A top secret report into police corruption in North London Operation Tiberius notes that, in 2000, a major trafficker of Class A drugs was using a contact at The Sun newspaper to obtain ex-directory numbers and ‘checks’ to see if he was under police surveillance.
While the hunt for Dando’s killer is not resolved, and with eyes turning away from the lone obsessive to the possibility of an organised hit, the links between phone hacking, corrupt private detective agencies and London’s criminal underworld should not be ignored.
THIS is the gay funeral director who was arrested in the Jill Dando murder inquiry.
James Shackleton, the self-styled Earl of Kensington, has been on a murder charge before and quizzed over the Wimbledon Common stabbing of Rachel Nickell and a series of gay killings
Shackleton has also called himself the Duke of Salisbury and Lord James Shackleton. In fact he runs the family undertaking business, founded in 1703, from his home in Shepherds Bush, west London.
He said: “I’ve been to lots of society events at Hampton Court and Lambeth Palace.
“I’ve never actually met the Queen but she was at some of these functions. So was Princess Margaret and her son, Viscount Linley.
“I’ve dined out on the title at The Ivy restaurant in London several times.”
Shackleton, 43, spent two days with police this week. He was released without charge on Friday night on two weeks’ bail.
He says he was near the murder scene in Fulham, west London, collecting wood to make coffins on the day Jill Dando was shot dead on her doorstep five weeks ago.
Police were tipped off that he could have been the man seen sweating at a bus stop.
“I was really sweaty and dressed in a suit,” he said. “I was the police’s number one suspect, now that’s been ruled out they haven’t got anything.”
A former rent boy, Shackleton was accused of stabbing a gay man in the neck with a broken bottle in 1986. Last-minute DNA evidence cleared him. He once tried to con his way into a prison job so that he could talk to mass murderer Jeremy Bamber.
He has also had his flat raided by police because of alleged involvement with child pornography.
A local undertaker, James Shackleton, brought a coffin to lay on the trestles for the photographers. He didn’t have a pauper’s coffin in stock, so brought instead their oldest, which has been in the company’s stores since 1922 when it was made for his grandfather, the Polar explorer Ernest Shackleton. Shackleton died of a heart attack onboard his final expedition ship, and the elaborate coffin was never used because the decision was taken to bury him in South Georgia rather than repatriate him.
So far, police have only arrested one person after an anonymous tip-off. He was released on bail on 28 May.
It emerged later that the man questioned was funeral director James Shackleton, known to police as a hoaxer who had been arrested and released over other high-profile murders such as the Rachel Nickell case.
“This man is of no interest to this inquiry,” said Det Insp Horrocks, who added that the police had a duty to follow up all possible leads no matter how dubious they seemed.
The inclusion of Lord Mandelson and an office address for Tony Blair has raised questions about the extent of his relationship with the Labour government.
By a strange coincidence Esther Rantzen is a trustee of the NSPCC.
The ‘Pied Piper of Paedophiles’ caught after 15 years on the run: Britain’s most wanted child abuser who kidnapped and sold young boys is arrested at Heathrow
Warwick Spinks, now 48, was caught in the Czech Republic after international manhunt
Horrifying back catalogue of abuse led to his nickname ‘the Pied Piper of Paedophiles’ after he bragged he could arrange sex with young boys for as little as 10p
NEVER forget Warwick Spinks list of clients & their sexual peccadilloes. Such as KEITH in FULHAM who liked corporal punishment...

‘Most violent’ paedo freed by loophole …and back ogling teens
A VIOLENT child sex predator recaptured following an international manhunt quaffs champagne on a luxury boat — after he was freed by a loophole.
Evil Warwick Spinks, dubbed the Pied Piper of Paedophiles, was extradited from the Czech Republic in November after 15 years on the run.
He should have then served the last 18 months of his five-year jail term. But when he was caged back in 1995 the law only allowed officials to make offenders serve part of a sentence before automatically freeing them.
That loophole was closed for absconders last year but it cannot be enforced retrospectively.
So officials had to free Spinks FOUR MONTHS after his recapture.
The pot-bellied paedo, who now calls himself property tycoon Willem van Wijk, celebrated his freedom and 49th birthday with a bash for 14 pals, including toyboy Vladimir, 34.
The Sun watched as he:
SIPPED champagne with pals at a luxury floating restaurant.
UNWRAPPED creepy presents including an edible thong.
WRITHED with male go-go dancers, saying: “You’re only as young as the boy you’re feeling.”
CAVORTED starkers in a glass-sided plunge pool with a Slovak lad in front of other perverts.
A source said: “Spinks should be behind bars. Many people in Prague were shocked to see him back so soon acting as if nothing had happened. He is cocking a snook at British justice.”
Spinks was first identified as a dangerous child abuser in 1992. He divided his time between England and Amsterdam, introducing sex tourists to young boys.
He told one undercover cop he could arrange sex with boys in Germany, Prague and Poland for as little as 10p. He was also secretly taped offering to supply a “snuff” video in which a boy, ten, was killed for kicks.
In 1995 he was jailed for seven years at Lewes Crown Court, East Sussex, for several offences against underage boys.
His sentence was cut to five years on appeal but when let out on licence in 1997 he fled the UK, violating his probation conditions.
1- Steven Adrian Smith aka Steven Freeman-paedophile,
PIE chairman, electrical contractor working in the Home office where he had his own office and wrote PIE letters on Home office paper. He also appeared in the infamous “Bjorn” child torture movie, which we now know was filmed by Warwick Spinks. Not only that, but “Bjorn” was in fact an English boy, who was in the care of CROYDON SOCIAL SERVICES.
2- Warwick Spinks.
Notorious paedophile, he made at least 5 child snuff movies between 1986-1991…and many many child torture videos,
Spinks is currently a free man. He has used many aliases including Andrew Spinks.
3-Russell Howard Tricker.
Originally sold boys to Don busby. Later he sold them to Warwick Spinks.
It was Tricker who was caught at customs with the LB video,and the GB video.The GB video was catalogue number ten of British boys available to paedophiles…
Tricker later fell out with Spinks. Tricker also ran Toffs travels and Toffs apartments in Amsterdam,providing travel and accommodation for both paedophiles and procured boys. Tricker recently worked at bluebell railway.
4-Colin peters
The barrister behind the sickening dial a child business. Kids were frightened of him. He worked at the foreign office in the late 1960s.
Papers on him at the national archives have a closure order until 2057. WHY IS THAT? Peters also recently ran the company VATATTACK.co.uk
5-Bovver boots casting agency.
A front for child porn films. One of their photographers had a small regular role in Eastenders.This was mentioned in the film the boy business.
The met police were aware of child snuff movies as early as 1992, but in 1997, they were still denying their existence,as is seen in the boy business documentary.

A Paedophile Ring In Amsterdam
The Guardian, March 1997:
By Nick Davies, Eamon O’Connor
and Melanie McFadeyan
It is an ordinary flat. The camera pans around the room
catching sight of a bookshelf full of paperbacks, a desk
which is untidy with letters and files, a couple of paintings
on the wall, a chair or two, and then the doorway, the blank
open doorway, and, as the camera waits, a man suddenly
appears there. The only sound is the quiet crackle of the video
tape.
In himself, this man is as ordinary as the flat. The camera
carefully avoids his face, but his build suggests that he is
in his 20s, slim, strong, casually dressed. His feet are bare.
He is carrying something across his arms and, as he walks
slowly towards the camera it becomes clear that it is a small
boy, probably seven or eight years old, dressed in jeans and
a tee-shirt. The boy is utterly limp, his lower legs trail
downwards over the side of the man’s right arm, his head lolls
gently backwards over the crook of the other arm. But it is the
boy’s head which catches the camera’s eye and stops the heart.
It is hooded.
The man walks confidently across the room. The camera follows.
The man tips the faceless boy into a wooden chair and pushes
him into a sitting position. He takes the boy’s wrists, lays them
along the arms of the chair and carefully straps them into place.
Then he yanks off the hood, and the camera closes in on the baby
sweet face of the blond haired boy, slumped helpless in his bonds.
And no-one needs to see a single minute more of this film to know exactly what is going to happen next to this child.
This film is known as the Bjorn Tape after the boy who is its
central character and victim. It has been sold to paedophiles
all over Western Europe and it is the subject of an intense police
inquiry. It was made in Holland in March 1990. The man on the
tape is English, though nothing is known about the man behind the
camera. Neither they nor Bjorn have been identified. Stills from the
tape have been released by Scotland Yard’s Paedophilia Unit to
ITV’s Network First documentary, The Boy Business, to be shown
on Tuesday (April 8).
For the last two years, we have been investigating the
activities of a group of British paedophiles who exploit
children ruthlessly – as sex objects for their own pleasure
and as a source of profit in the international sex industry.
They have based themselves in Amsterdam…they have imported
their “raw material” from abroad – from the economic chaos of
Eastern Europe and from the poverty-stricken streets of the inner
cities of England.
Most disturbing, in a story of grotesque pain, we have found compelling evidence that up to five children have been
abducted, tortured and then killed in front of the
paedophiles’ camera.
Three British men who lived in Amsterdam in the early
1990s have spoken quite independently of each other of
their knowledge of paedophile “snuff movies”. All agree
that they were made in Amsterdam by British paedophiles.
….The world of Warwick Spinks was based in Amsterdam,
where scores of British paedophiles settled after a police
crack-down in London in the 1980s. When the Dutch police
reviewed all their intelligence on child pornography in 1985,
they found there was almost nothing in the whole of Amsterdam.
In four years, they had come across only three cases. Seven years
later, after the arrival of Spinks and his friends, they repeated the
exercise and found that nearly 250 people in the city were involved
in the industry, most of them foreign; they seized 6,000 videos.
Spinks was not the only British man one who was procuring
boys in this way. One of his friends in Amsterdam, Peter
Howells, was involved in a particularly effective honey trap. He owned a theatrical agency for children, with offices
in London and Amsterdam. It was called Bovver Boots.
Howells is a convicted paedophile who has also been named
in police statements by children from Hackney in north
London who say that they were abused, photographed
and filmed.
While men like Peter Howells were content to treat
children as sex objects, Warwick Spinks and some
of his Amsterdam friends broke new boundaries in
treating them also as marketable goods. Some of
those most closely involved have spoken of a
house in North London where boys, aged between
11 and 14, were bound and buggered for the camera
by two of the Amsterdam paedophiles. They say that boys were imported to Amsterdam for more film-making.
They recall Spinks trying to charge £4,000 for a video of an
eight-year-old boy being sexually abused and tortured by two
men and, most alarming, they describe him showing a video in
which a pre-pubescent boy was tortured, castrated and murdered.
…the allegations that Spinks was distributing such films is
supported by others and, most significantly, by the words
of Warwick Spinks himself. The undercover police officer
asked Spinks if he could get him a sado-masochistic video
involving some very young chickens. Unaware that his every
word was being record, Spinks said he thought he could.
“How young is young?” he asked.
“Pretty young,” said the officer.
“What? Ten?”
“Yes, that sort of age.”
“I know people in Amsterdam,” said Spinks.“I might
even have one myself. I’ll have a look… I think I might
have one hidden away in my cellar downstairs.”
The officer went on to tease more out of Spinks,
telling him that some friends of his had been offered
a snuff movie, in which someone was tortured to death,
for £6,000. Spinks spoke with the voice of an expert.
“They’re not six grand,” he said. “I know, well I knew
some people who were involved in making snuff movies
and how they did it was, they only sold them in limited
editions, made ten copies or something, ten very rich
customers in America, who paid $5,000 each or something
like that – which is a lot of money to watch some kids being
snuffed.
This is a confiscation notice put out by what was then the Customs & Excise service in August 1982:
It identified the owner of the material quite clearly as R H Tricker. This is Russell Howard-Tricker, still with us and resident in Amsterdam. He is a paedophile pimp and paedo-porn distributor of some note:

Ron Oliver & Greg Potter Paedophile had links with child photographer (1997)
Ron Oliver, whose pictures of children are lauded by the art world but frowned upon by police, used the services of Greg Potter while Mr Potter was on the run from South African police for molesting children and taking pornographic photographs of them.
Mr Oliver, 37, became a cause celebre in 1993 when police raided his studio in west London, seized more than 20,000 photographs and arrested him on suspicion of taking indecent pictures of children under 16.
He is an established portrait photographer who specialises in taking pictures, some of them nude, of the children of mainly wealthy professionals.
Advertising in Vogue and Harpers & Queen, he numbers members of the House of Lords, whom he will not name, among his clients. .
Mr Potter, 39, was arrested at Mr Oliver’s studio during the initial raid. Mr Potter was questioned by police but released on bail. He, too, jumped bail. Since then, another warrant has been issued for his arrest on suspicion of sexually assaulting three children in Britain.
While in South Africa, the Zimbabwe-born Mr Potter was wanted by police for allegedly taking pornographic pictures of children and for sexually assaulting them.
Exposed: We snare celebrity photographer on the run from child porn rap (8.4.01)
News of the World, 8th April 2001
A SOCIETY photographer on the run from child porn cops for seven years may be extradited to Britain after the News of the World tracked him down to a French mountain hideaway.
Ron Oliver, 41-whose clients once included comic Les Dennis -fled the UK after Scotland Yard’s obscene publications squad raided his studio and seized 20,000 photos.
Since then a warrant has been issued for his arrest and cops want to question him over allegations that he took indecent pictures of children aged six to ten.
Before dad-of-four Oliver became a fugitive from justice, he was the darling of British high society, charging £4,000 a time to snap the children of lords, MPs and stars.
He even bragged to police about working for Michael Heseltine -a claim the top Tory strongly denies.
we traced Oliver to the French Riviera, where he lives in a £500,000 villa and STILL works as a child photographer
There is no suggestion that Oliver harmed Les Dennis’s son when the star commissioned him to photograph his boy. But Les, 46, was horrified to hear about the photographer’s flight from justice, saying: “I am shocked and dismayed.”
Mr Heseltine was also shocked to hear about Oliver’s claim that he had once worked for him.
The former cabinet minister told the News of the World: “I have no knowledge of this man at all and have never heard of him. He did not take any photographs of my family.”
Oliver’s successful west London business collapsed when he was arrested in 1993, along with his assistant Greg Potter and artists Graham Ovenden and Terence Walters. (PIE member)
The arrests followed the discovery of an alleged child porn ring involving hundreds of young victims. Police swooped on addresses in west London, Kent and Cornwall and seized photographs, letters and diaries.
It then emerged that Potter, who comitted suicide last year, was a convicted child molester who had sexually assaulted nine children in his native Zimbabwe.
Oliver, who was on police bail, fled to Holland and later moved to Paris. He has always insisted his work is “art” and once spent Pounds 30,000 having a book of his pictures of naked children published.
In a bid to drum up support, he sent copies to several peers.One, Lord Renton, wrote: “I am shocked by some of the photographs. I do think that anyone who publishes them deserves a jail sentence.”

A NATIVE of Barnoldswick featured in the Craven Herald 50 years ago when her life story made the medical journal Pulse. Pulse, which launched in 1960 and is still the leading publication for the country’s GPs, profiled 27-year-old Dr Christine Pickard, who had decided to turn her back on GP work and become a science writer for the London Evening Standard. Dr Pickard was a former pupil of Skipton Girls’ High School and a daughter of retired Barnoldswick GP Dr John Pickard. She told Pulse at the time she was not interested in people’s bodies, but she was interested in people, which led her to leave medicine and go into journalism. As a young woman, and after training to be a doctor, she had taken a course as a teacher in English and gone to Algeria before hitch-hiked to Egypt with a friend. It was there that she entered journalism as a feature writer for Middle East Features Service. On her return to London, where she had been working as an emergency doctor, she landed herself a job with the London Evening Standard.

In November 1990, three months after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, Aitken flew to Oman as guest of the Sultan. He was attending a meeting of the Cercle, a secretive right-wing group run by former intelligence agents. Alan Clark, Aitken’s predecessor as arms procurement minister, was a fellow guest. ‘There is a distinguished list,’ Clark wrote. ‘And Jonathan Aitken, who knows absolutely everybody in the world has, amusingly and indiscreetly, guided me through it.’ The Cercle meets twice a year, once in Washington, once elsewhere. It invites to its meetings serving security and intelligence agents, as well as parliamentarians. Aitken is its current chairman.

Double lives – a history of sex and secrecy at Westminster
It is ironic that the Macmillan cabinet that resisted implementing Wolfenden seems to have contained more “closet queens” than any other of the century. During the years 1959-60, for example, it contained the following homosexual or bisexual members: the chancellor of the exchequer, Derick Heathcoat-Amory, who narrowly avoided scandal after engaging in frolics with “teddy boys” at Margate; the foreign secretary, Selwyn Lloyd, who was in love with his handsome godson and personal assistant Jonathan Aitken; and the colonial secretary, Alan Lennox-Boyd, who though married with three sons conducted a longstanding relationship with a major in the Coldstream Guards.
The cabinet also included the health secretary, Enoch Powell, who as a classics professor in Australia before the war had written to his parents about his infatuation with his male students; and the minister of labour, the unmarried and misogynistic Edward Heath.
In 2001 the Purdews of Champneys (friends of Sir Jimmy Savile and Keith Vaz) briefly acquired Inglewood health hydro from agents of Saudi prince Mohammed bin Fahd. Inglewood had been the scene of allegations, published in the Guardian six years earlier, that then defence minister Jonathan Aitken, a director of the spa, had tried to arrange girls for a Saudi prince and his entourage.
The report led to the notorious libel action brought by Aitken ultimately culminating in his being sentenced to jail for perjury.

Richard Hoskins – the man of many faces
The source of the fundamentally misleading article in the Mail on Sunday was Richard Hoskins, a criminologist who was hired by police as an ‘expert’ on Operation Conifer.
Hoskins claims that he was acting as a whistle-blower, but his disclosures related to a tiny part of the operation that police did not rank as the most crediblee.
Wiltshire Police strongly condemned him, and a spokesman said that Hoskins had been removed from the National Crime Agency’s list of recognised experts.

Police: If Ted Heath was alive today we’d quiz him under caution on child abuse claims
Operation Conifer inquiry into Edward Heath will be made public on October 5
Findings will reveal about 40 people made paedophile claims against Sir Edward
Chief Constable Mike Veale’s report will say seven of which are ‘credible’ claims
Sir Edward died in 2005 aged 89 – if alive today he’d be interviewed under caution, says the MoS
Child sexual abuse claims made against Sir Edward Heath by seven of his alleged victims are serious enough that police would have questioned him under caution if he were still alive.
That is the astonishing verdict of a controversial two-year investigation into the former Tory Prime Minister, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
The explosive findings of the Operation Conifer inquiry into Sir Edward, led by Wiltshire Chief Constable Mike Veale, will be made public on October 5. It is believed the findings will reveal that about 40 people made paedophile claims against Sir Edward, who died in 2005 aged 89, covering five decades.
According to Whitehall sources, Mr Veale’s report will say seven of the alleged victims are ‘credible’ and describe the same pattern of behaviour by their ‘abuser’.
A Government source said an ‘interview under caution’ is, in effect, the strongest action that Mr Veale could recommend with regard to Sir Edward.
After an ‘interview with caution’ police would send a file to the Crown Prosecution Service, which would decide whether to prosecute. ‘It was never the task of Operation Conifer to decide whether Sir Edward was guilty, and clearly there was never any question of recommending prosecution in this case,’ a Government source said.

An ‘interview under caution’ usually takes place at a police station with the consent of the accused. If they refuse to attend, they can be arrested.
Mr Veale’s report will say testimonies by around a dozen more ‘victims’ cannot be relied on because they may have been ‘damaged’ by their experiences; a further dozen involve so called ‘third party’ allegations, where people have come forward to describe the alleged abuse of others.
A number of claims have been dismissed as bogus or fantasy.
Mr Veale has faced fierce criticism from senior Tories and mandarins who worked for Heath when he was in power in the 1970s.
They have accused police of wasting £2 million of public money on the inquiry, claiming the allegations are ‘fantasy’. Others said it would have been impossible for Sir Edward to commit such crimes when for much of his career he was accompanied by police protection. Only last week, former Director of Public Prosecutions Lord Macdonald said Mr Veale’s investigation was a ‘tragi-comedy of incompetence’.
But Mr Veale received a major boost yesterday as two fellow senior police chiefs, who are thought to have been briefed on progress by Operation Conifer, fired a warning shot at his powerful detractors.
Norfolk Chief Constable Simon Bailey, who supervises all UK historic child sex investigations, and Durham Chief Constable Mike Barton, who supervises national police operations, cautioned against attempts to ‘undermine’ Mr Veale.
In a statement to the MoS they stressed police must be able to investigate ‘without fear or favour’, adding: ‘They should be able to carry out investigations with complete independence without commentary which threatens to undermine the process.
‘While we await the findings of the Sir Edward Heath inquiry, it would be wrong to speculate on its content or the actions of individuals who have conducted the investigation.’
It was vital that police were given the funds ‘to conduct what can be complex and time-consuming inquiries’, they added.
The Mail on Sunday can also disclose that earlier this year a review of Mr Veale’s inquiry was undertaken by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary, which ruled it was ‘reasonable and proportionate’.
In another apparent vote of confidence in Mr Veale, Home Secretary Amber Rudd last week signed off a £1.1 million payment to help fund the investigation into Sir Edward – a blow to Tory MPs who wanted her to refuse to pay. Significantly, she signed off the payment shortly after receiving a summary of Mr Veale’s findings.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse also said it would study Mr Veale’s findings after being briefed on his report.
Mr Veale’s view that allegations against Sir Edward would be serious enough to justify interrogation under caution were he alive is likely to spark a major row and calls for him to resign by some Tories convinced Sir Edward is innocent. A similar investigation into claims of a Westminster child sex ring involving 1980s Home Secretary Leon Brittan and others, by the Metropolitan Police – Operation Midland – collapsed last year after it was revealed the key claims were made by a fantasist. But there have also been allegations of an Establishment cover-up.
Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen, who has staunchly defended ‘courageous and honest’ Mr Veale, said: ‘Having set up the inquiry it would have been appalling if the Government had refused to pay for it.
‘Mr Veale must be allowed to present his findings free of abuse or intimidation, and that includes my fellow Conservative MPs. Just because Operation Midland was a failure does not mean Operation Conifer should be ignored.
‘There are powerful forces in the Establishment that always want to cover things up.’
This newspaper revealed in February that Mr Veale believed some of the claims concerning Sir Edward were ‘120 per cent’ genuine.
Some confusion about the word credible & shreddable evidence! me thinks
Hoskins discrediting the Heath investigation Conifer, despite Mike Veale saying previously:
Dec 2016
Mike Veale:
Fact: The recent media coverage regarding a confidential report that had been commissioned by Wiltshire Police as part of the investigation, through a recognised National Crime Agency registered expert, referred to satanic ritual sex abuse.
This part of the investigation is only one small element of the overall inquiry and DOES NOT RELATE TO SIR EDWARD HEATH
Telegraph and Mail tried to rubbish Ted Heath inquiry by citing criminologist Rachel Hoskins.
Crime fiction writer Rachel Hoskins:
Sir Edward Heath accuser is a ‘satanic sex fantasist’:
Police warned by OWN expert that ritual abuse claims are false – including how the former PM ‘went to candlelit forest for paedophile parties’
Dr Hoskins has been analysing witness statements submitted to Operation Conifer related to Ted Heath, since September.
Dr Hoskins said: ‘The Heath inquiry rests, like the Westminster VIP inquiry, on over-active imagination.’
Wiltshire Police insisted evidence examined by Dr Hoskins was just a small part of their inquiry, known as Operation Conifer, but she says it is a central plank of the investigation.
Although I often work with the police as an expert – I am registered with the National Crime Agency – my specialist subject is religious ritual. You might know of my work identifying Adam, the African boy whose torso was found in the river Thames in 2001.
Heath paedophile investigation plunged into further chaos as detective in charge goes off with stress
Superintendent Sean Memory went on long term sick leave last month, just weeks after being put in overall charge of Operation Conifer – the £800,000 probe into allegations that the late former Prime Minister was a paedophile.
Sources said Mr Memory’s decision to take time off with stress was the result of “combination of factors” but said it had followed a period of intense pressure.
The Telegraph has also discovered that Mr Memory is facing a disciplinary investigation, although it is understood it is connected with his work on Operation Conifer.
The spokesman said: “It is very important that we stress there is no risk to Operation Conifer due to this set of circumstances. To ensure continuity in this complex investigation, it continues to be overseen by Assistant Chief Constable Paul Mills and has been, and will continue to be, subject to regular scrutiny through a Gold Group meeting structure which reviews actions and activity.
“The Force has every confidence in how the investigation has been conducted to date. Supt Steve Kirby (an experienced investigator who has worked on this case from the outset) has been appointed as SIO for Operation Conifer.

Sir Edward Heath WAS a paedophile, says police chief: Astonishing claim is made that the former PM is guilty of vile crimes ‘covered up by the Establishment’
More than 30 people have come forward with claims about the former PM
And they are said to have given ‘strikingly similar’ accounts to Wiltshire Police
The county’s chief constable has said that the allegations are ‘totally convincing’
Pictures have emerged of Heath driving – despite it being claimed he didn’t have a car
19 February 2017
The police chief investigating claims that Sir Edward Heath was a paedophile is convinced the allegations are ‘120 per cent’ genuine, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
More than 30 people have come forward with claims of sexual abuse by the former Conservative Prime Minister, according to well-placed sources.
And they are said to have given ‘strikingly similar’ accounts of incidents to Wiltshire Police – even though the individuals are not known to each other.
The Mail on Sunday has been told that Wiltshire Chief Constable Mike Veale regards the allegations as ‘totally convincing’, and plans to publish a report in June.
Detectives have established that, contrary to claims that Sir Edward could not have committed the crimes as he ‘never drove a car’ and ‘always’ had a police driver with him, he did drive – and did have a car.
They have photographic evidence that shows he is a driver, and have established that he had a driving licence. He also bought a Rover 2000 after being deposed as Tory leader by Margaret Thatcher in 1975, when he was 58.
Astonishingly, Mr Veale is also understood to support claims that Sir Edward’s alleged crimes were reported to police years ago but covered up by the Establishment.
Some of those who said Sir Edward abused them are believed to have told police they went on to commit sexual abuse crimes themselves as a result.
The investigation into Sir Edward, called Operation Conifer, was set up in 2015 in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
Mr Veale came under pressure to abandon the inquiry last year after separate claims of a paedophile ring at Westminster involving former Home Secretary, the late Lord Brittan, and former Defence chief, Lord Bramall, were found to be groundless.
Allegations that Sir Edward was involved in satanic orgies have been dismissed as fantasy by an expert asked to review the case.
However, The Mail on Sunday has been told that Mr Veale believes the paedophile allegations are genuine. A source said: ‘Mr Veale believes in them 120 per cent and thinks they are totally convincing.
‘There are very close similarities in the accounts given by those who have come forward. The same names used for him, the same places and same type of incidents keep coming up.
‘What stands out is that the people giving these accounts are not connected but the stories and the details dovetail.
‘It contains disturbing stuff. Investigators have been shocked by what they have learned.’
Another source said: ‘The police were initially skeptical about the allegations, but now believe them. And they have come round to the view that they were covered up in the past because of who Heath was.
‘They will not be deflected by the rich and powerful trying to do the same now. Mike Veale is doing a great job and should be congratulated for his courage.’
The disclosures come after several senior politicians dismissed the allegations against Heath as absurd and unfounded. Former Tory Foreign Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind complained Heath’s reputation was being ‘besmirched’. Heath’s sexuality has been the source of much speculation over the years. Some believed he was gay, others said he was ‘asexual.’ At one point, he was being investigated by no fewer than five police forces – the Met, Wiltshire, Hampshire, Kent and Jersey.
The claims, some of which have been proved false, include alleged links to a convicted brothel keeper known as Madame Ling-Ling. A paedophile dossier compiled by Labour peer Baroness Castle said he offered young boys trips on his yacht, and in a separate incident one man claimed Sir Edward picked him up hitchhiking in Kent as a 12-year-old in the 1960s and lured him to his Mayfair flat.
Labour MP Tom Watson also said he had received allegations about Sir Edward. However the claims Mr Veale is investigating, which date from the 1960s to 1990s, are not linked to the discredited evidence of the man known as ‘Nick’, who alleged a high-level paedophile ring.
One of the key counter-claims made when the allegations first surfaced came from former Cabinet Secretary Lord Armstrong, who worked with Heath when he was Prime Minister. He said Heath ‘never drove a car’ and always had at least one policeman with him from 1970 until his death in 2005.
The fact that Sir Edward could drive was confirmed last night by a friend, who said the former Prime Minister bought a car in 1975, although Sir Edward was later given a chauffeur-driven car and police guard after IRA death threats.
Asked if Mr Veale believed the allegations against Sir Edward were ‘totally convincing’, a police spokesman said the Chief Constable was determined to ‘ensure the investigation is proportionate, measured and legal’ and that the job of the police was to ‘impartially investigate allegations without fear or favour and go where the evidence takes us. It is not the role of the police to judge the guilt or innocence of people in our criminal justice system.’
Further asked if Mr Veale had ‘120 per cent’ faith in the allegations, the spokesman declined to comment.
DO THESE PHOTOS UNDERMINE EX PM’S DEFENCE
Sir Edward Heath seen with his car in Weymouth, despite claims he never drove
These are the photographs that appear to disprove the notion that the allegations against Sir Edward cannot be true because he ‘never drove a car’ and was always accompanied by police.
Both were taken in October 1975. In the main picture on the right, Heath is standing by the driver’s door of the Rover 2000 he bought after Margaret Thatcher ousted him as Tory leader in February that year. In the picture on the left, he is seen arriving at the Tory Party conference in Blackpool – in the driver’s seat.
The Mail on Sunday has learned that Wiltshire Police has also obtained photographic evidence of him driving.
‘When he was at home he had two policemen on the gate, he had the personal protection officer from Scotland Yard in the house, he never drove a car himself, he always had an official driver,’ said Lord Armstrong. ‘It seems highly unlikely he could have escaped all that to do the kind of thing that is described.’
Sir Edward Heath again pictured driving, this time leaving leaves the conference for the sea breezes of Weymouth
Sir Edward bought the Rover after losing the chauffeur-driven car he was entitled to as Prime Minister, then Opposition leader.
A confidant of the former PM said: ‘He definitely could and did drive, though was a notoriously bad one. When he went to music concerts in Salzburg and hired a car, he was meant to drive it because his British police guards weren’t officially allowed to.
‘But they insisted as they were frightened he was going to crash.’
Mandarin who can’t help being economical with truth: Lord Armstrong at centre of accusations of child abuse cover-up
Senior civil servant in Thatcher government accused of ‘shocking’ attitude
Ex-Cabinet Secretary Lord Armstrong defended apparent abuse cover-up
Was warned by security services in 1986 that MP had ‘a penchant for boys’
Said he believed decision not to investigate claims was ‘correct at the tim
It has been revealed that he was urged by MI5 to help hush-up abuse allegations against a senior MP so as to avoid political embarrassment for the Thatcher government.
A document from November 1986 shows that Sir Antony Duff, then director-general of MI5, wrote to Armstrong about inquiries into one MP said to have ‘a penchant for small boys’.
Even today, despite years of official investigations into the claims and a top-level review into the loss of hundreds of Home Office files relating to the original allegations, Armstrong defiantly refuses to identify the suspect politician or even say if he is alive or dead. Can he really still believe that it is acceptable to be ‘economical with the truth’?
His attitude reflects an arrogant mindset that has for too long prevailed in Westminster and Whitehall.
The newly-unearthed files expose how protection of the Establishment took priority over the need to prosecute anyone suspected of paedophilia and over the safety of vulnerable young children.
In a letter to Armstrong about the suspected MP, Sir Antony warned that secrecy must prevail. ‘At the present stage…the risks of political embarrassment to the Government is rather greater than the security danger,’ he wrote.
In other words, if the rumours of a sex-ring were true and children had been abused, the welfare of the child must be subjugated to the national interest.
At the time, in 1986, there was little public discussion about the rumours. Whistleblowers were silenced, files mysteriously vanished and evidence which might have nailed the culprits was ignored.
New BBC paedophile scandal as ‘hero’ ex-chauffeur is unmasked as convicted child rapist
17 JUL 2016
Niven James Sinclair was so influential he sat in on BBC meetings – but Dame Janet Smith’s abuse probe in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal failed to identify him
A pervert with three child sex convictions worked as a BBC chauffeur for almost 30 years.
Niven James Sinclair drove VIPs including former Prime Minister Ted Heath and was employed to run BBC transport as a third party contractor. His firm supplied up to 150 cars.
He was so influential he sat in on BBC meetings and was involved with shows including Newsnight and Panorama.
And astonishingly, Dame Janet Smith’s probe into paedophiles at the BBC in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal failed to identify him.
Sinclair only stopped working for the broadcaster in 2005, aged 82, when his firm was still supplying 92 vehicles.
A glowing 2005 profile on the BBC website, still online tonight, was headlined: “A driving
SIR Edward Heath’s ex-aide killed himself after being arrested by cops investigating child abuse claims.
Nick Edgar, 40, put a shotgun to his head two days after questioning over images on his computer.
The father of three worked as ex-PM Sir Edward’s secretary in the Nineties. He was held by child abuse investigation police in April, 2010.
Edgar was quizzed again four months later but then shot himself near his parents’ Cambridgeshire estate.
The former Oxford University Union president got the job with Sir Edward in 1992 and worked for him until late in the decade, spending months at the politician’s Wiltshire home.
In June 1995 Heath’s private office, headed at that time by Nicholas Edgar, was set the task of organising three days of lavish celebrations for our visitors at the most prestigious London venues.
Jan 1984 R v O’Dowd: Boy George’s uncle alleges photos of Heath with children exist & Cecil Parkinson attends the court case
From Sept 2014 Two ‘interesting’ allegations – Edward Heath: The Paedophile Prime Minister.
“the producer told me that years before when he was an assistant editor in a cutting room in Wardour Street he used to get his holiday photos developed at a shop in Wardour Street and one day the shop was raided by the police because the owner was dealing in pornography or at least that was the presumed reason. During the raid, a distribution list was discovered which had Ted Heath’s name on it also Patrick Moore’s and it was for “kiddie porn” as it was termed in those days. I do not know how he got this information about the list but apparently “everyone in Wardour Street” knew about it.”
It reminded me of a very strange court case involving Boy George’s uncle (you really couldn’t make some of this stuff up) Kenneth O’Dowd in 1984 who alleged that he had compromising photographs of Edward Heath . The news reports do not describe what the photographs that included Ted Heath depicted however he says that his former mistress “appeared in pornographic photographs together with his two children”
.
According to The Glasgow Herald, O’Dowd produced a photocopied photograph of Edward Heath but it was “dismissed in court as a forgery”.
.
If you thought that was all very curious then I’m sure you’ll be intrigued about why Cecil Parkinson should take enough interest in this case to attend and observe part of the trial himself, as was John Stapleton and Nick Owen were…Intrigued
Below are two stories about the trial from The Times.
.
January 19th 1984
A woman denied at the Central Criminal Court yesterday that she had appeared in pornographic photographs with Mr Edward Heath, the former Prime Minister. The woman, a mother of three children, whose former boy friend has pleaded not guilty to raping and assaulting her, said she had never met Mr Heath, or been photographed in indecent positions with men or children. The man has asserted that the charges against him have been fabricated by the woman and the police. “He says they wish to muzzle his evidence to bring to book certain persons, including the woman, who he says appeared in pornographic photographs together with his two children”, the court has been told by Mr Stephen Mitchell, for the prosecution. The defendant had claimed he found photographs showing a man he recognized as Edward Heath and another man he has named as a Det Sgt Wallace. Mr Heath has denied being in the alleged photographs. The woman said in evidence yesterday that, although the defendant had taken some pictures of her undressed, they were of her alone. She said she had never been photographed with det Sgt Wallace or had sexual intercourse with him. Cross-examined by the defendant, she denied ever seeing a briefcase in her home with the initials “E.A.H.” on it. She also denied his allegation that she had been part of a prostitution ring. The trial was adjourned until today.
.
January 18th 1984
An accused man’s claim that he was framed by the authorities because he had discovered pornographic photographs of his lover, naked, In poses with Mr Edward Heath, the former Prime Minister, and a detective sergeant, were “wild and totally unfounded” the prosecution maintained at the Central Criminal Court yesterday. Mr Stephen Mlitchell, for the Crown, told a jury of seven women and five men that the allegations of the existence of such photographs had been made last October at the man’s first trial which was halted after three weeks and a new trial ordered. The defendant, aged 37, has pleaded not guilty to charges of raping and assaulting his former mistress, aged 32, a mother of three daughters. The defendant claimed he had discovered five colour photographs in the jewel box of the woman with whom he lived at their flat in 1976, while they were living at Woolwich, south east London. Their young daughters were looking on allegedly as the woman posed on her bed. Mr Heath was said to have been in two of the photographs, and the detective Sergeant, Brian Wallace, in three of them. But, Mr Mitchell said, no such photographs existed,although the jury would probably spent a great deal of time listening to comments about them. The defendant also claimed that he had found a black briefcase, bearing an MP’s initials, in a cupboard at his former lover’s flat. Some photographs did exist, Mr Mitchell said. The woman remembered that she had once posed nude and semi-nude. But the existence of “the odd dirty photo” whould not have any great influence on the case, he said. The man was accused of threatening his former lover with a knife and a hammer after breaking into her home in September 1982, and raping and assaulting her. He was als
Do you think a man transitioning into Rachel Hoskins, likely under a psychiatrist’s supervision, should be Wiltshire police’s best choice?
Wiltshire Police should have known that there would be issues with RR Hoskins
Quote from 2012 regarding Richard Hoskins:
“It is totally unacceptable that an expert instructed in the course of care proceedings should disregard his professional duty of confidentiality in what would appear to be a cynical attempt to promote his book. We have written to him asking him to stop discussing this case publicly.
All eyes on Stephen Wright of The Mail, waiting for his next article of disinformation. Who pays the piper?
Mar 3 2017
Daily Mail forced to admit Peter McKelvie’s claims weren’t baseless after all. It would seem the lying Daily Mail has had to back down over false reporting on Peter McKelvie claims! What a colossal backdown!
On the very day, 24th October 2012, that Tom Watson asked you a PMQ re. the possibility of a link between a very large and highly organised paedophile ring and No 10, you made a number of quotes to the mainstream media.
You were in fact referring to the Savile/BBC/NHS scandal.
I made a note of some of those quotes :-
”The Government will do all it can do, other institutions must do what they can do, to make sure that we learn the lesson of this and it can NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN”
“Collusion should NEVER happen again ”
”The measure of how our society is, is how we treat its most vulnerable members”
There are no more vulnerable members of our society than children who have been taken in to care and then re-abused by the very people charged with the responsibility of caring for them and protecting them,and even worse then passing them on to be further abused by the very people who make the laws in this country and are expected to lead the way on the moral compass of that society.
I have no doubt that you have watched or been made aware of Channel 4′s Dispatches on 12th September and the allegations that arose from it regarding the role of senior politicians, the security services and the Crown Prosecution Service in covering up the horrendous abuse carried out by Cyril Smith over 5 decades.The overlap with Savile in terms of who knew about this abuse were laid bare.
I also have no doubt that you are aware that your colleagues in your party, Edwina Currie, Gyles Brandreth and Rod Richards have made very damning statements of how well known in Westminster circles it was that Peter Morrison was a dangerous paedophile, and yet his career was unaffected as he rose to be Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party, Mrs. Thatcher’s PPS in 1990 and her campaign manager that same year despite this knowledge having been around for many years.
I also have no doubt that you are aware of the statement of Tim Fortescue,Edward Heath’s Chief Whip from 1970-73, made public on Michael Cockerell’s BBC Documentary in 1995 called “Westminster’s Secret Service “.
Talking about the role of the chief whip, Fortescue said ” For anyone with any sense who was in trouble would come to the whips and tell them the truth ………….. it might be erm erm a scandal involving small boys ……….. we would do everything we can because we would store up brownie points ……. and if I mean, that sounds a pretty,pretty nasty reason, but it’s one of the reasons because if we could get a chap out of trouble then,he will do as we ask forever more.”
I don’t need to tell you of the revulsion I feel towards our political masters having worked with sexually abused children for over 30 years when I heard of how the Whips ran the Dirt Book system.
Your colleague, John Whittingdale, in his role as Chair of the Culture Committee, put himself forward as the moral voice of Parliament in the days following the exposure of Savile on national TV. He lost no opportunity to appear on every news channel for many days to demand in effect the head of the Director General of the BBC. To date I have not heard you or Mr. Whittingdale demand such investigations in to your own institution despite the mountain of concern a small proportion of which I have referred to above.
Just on Savile alone without looking any further why was there no investigation along the lines of the many BBC inquiries in to why a British Prime Minister was so close to Savile that he allegedly attended 13 consecutive New Year’s Eve parties at Chequers and why the same Prime Minister allegedly persevered for many years in insisting that such an evil man long identified as having a deviant sexual history should get a knighthood,ignoring the advice of her closest advisers. Why was the same man so welcome in Prince Charles’s properties despite the security services and similar vetting institutions having enough opportunity to tap in to the ” gossip” about Savile that was around for decades.
I would dearly like to go in to more detail but until the Metropolitan Police’s Operations Fernbridge and Fairbank are completed then for obvious reasons I can not.
In the aftermath of the Lord McAlpine affair I was extremely disappointed by the confusion you attempted to create by making accusations of gay witch-hunts. There is no connection whatsoever between being gay and being a paedophile. This is about and only about people who abuse young children regardless of whether the abuser is heterosexual or gay.
There is no witch-hunt against gay people and it was most irresponsible for a Prime Minister to make such a statement when the abuse of our most vulnerable was the issue.
Now is the time for you to show the genuine commitment expected of a Prime Minister and do what you preached in those statements last October especially ” COLLUSION SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN ” and the demand that ALL institutions look inwards and examine their role in past collusion/cover up.
A starting point, and to give Parliament and Government any credibility in this heinous historical scandal, is for you to put all party political considerations aside and arrange an urgent meeting with Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband to draw up a blueprint as to how your own institution will be investigated along the lines of the way you and colleagues demanded that people be brought to account in the BBC or NHS for their failure to blow the whistle on Savile.
It would be better if you led such an exercise before it is forced upon you by public demand.
The latter will happen in time.
A starting point would be an immediate statement that there will be urgent cross-party talks to set up an independant body to examine who ordered these cover ups of people like Smith and Morrison, after ordering an immediate Police investigation by the National Crime Agency and ensuring that the latter body has sufficient resources to go wherever the evidence takes them and however long it takes. This must include the investigation of living politicians, police officers,civil servants,security services personnel etc.
Paedophile warning by social services chief ‘ignored’
12 July 2014
Mr Tombs says he was told he was wasting his time when he alerted civil servants to the claims
David Tombs, who ran Hereford and Worcester social services, said he warned the government after the arrest of paedophile Peter Righton in 1992
Mr Tombs, who in charge of social services in his area for 20 years, claims that when Righton was arrested in 1992, he became aware of information through the police investigation that suggested a paedophilic network was operating.
He said what he learned would have been of “national concern” and told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “It was coming across to me at the time that there were names there that were linked into the establishment, if you like.
Two inquiries have been launched into historical claims of child abuse.
Tim Yeo MP, a junior health minister in the early 1990s, said he was “staggered” by the claims.
He added that he was “not aware” of a culture of child sex abuse during his time as a health minister, and said he was puzzled as to why Mr Tombs did not take his concerns further at the time and speak to his local MP.
‘No abuse culture’Asked what he thought was meant by the word “them”, Mr Tombs said “those within Parliament and government in Whitehall”.
But Mr Yeo said he found Mr Tombs’ claims “incredible”.
He told the Today programme: “I think it’s incredible, the idea that any remotely credible evidence had been shown to a civil servant at the Department of Health would have been ignored and received the comment that it apparently was.
“There was no culture of child sex abuse that I was aware of either in Whitehall or in Parliament,” he added. “The whole thing is extraordinary.”

Peter McKelvie was right about Righton, Alston, Napier, Tracey, Sadler, Waters, Fraser and dozens more. I’ll let you work out the rest!
Peter McKelvie even contacted Virginia Bottomley but she did nowt! Now where was her hubby listed again?
More evidence that the Department of Health were told of Peter Righton paedophile network…and did nothing
In 1993, Hereford & Worcester social services department produced a report about paedophile ‘child care expert’ Peter Righton and his connections with other child sex abusers who were working in schools and children’s homes across the UK.
The report (dated 13.05.93) was sent to Virginia Bottomley’s Department of Health via Sir William Utting. It clearly stated that the abuse networks were still active and that children in care were at risk, yet the Department of Health – who have overall responsibility for children in care – did nothing to stop the abuse from continuing.
Peter McKelvie worked as a Senior Child Protection manager for Hereford and Worcester.
As part of that work he was given access by West Mercia Police to Peter Righton’s Diary.
In his diary Peter Righton had listed the names and ages of each boy he had abused from 1957 onwards in categories of which institution the victims had been resident at the time, and most sickeningly of all, had scored each child’s level of abuse from 1 (touching) to 10 (buggery).
“One of the many reasons I contacted Tom Watson MP in October 2012 was my anger and frustration that Peter Righton had been allowed to die with just one minor conviction for possession of indecent images of children when I knew how evil a web he had spun in full sight of leading social work agencies such as the National Children’s Bureau and the National Institute of Social Work not to mention the high regard he was obviously held in at the Department of Health.
Much has been made of Savile being given the keys to Broadmoor.
Righton didn’t need the keys, he could walk in to any children’s home or local authority boarding school in the UK on ” official business ”
I was given full access by West Mercia police to Righton’s diaries and letters which gave the clues to a large network of Paedophiles with “official ” access to children.
Unfortunately my team weren’t allowed to pursue these leads ourselves as the alleged offences occurred outside our statutory geographical boundaries
We had to pass all our relevant information on to other local authorities.
With the full support of my then Director of Social Services, David Tombs, I wrote a report for the Department of Health pleading for them to agree to fund and set up a “National Joint Social Worker/Police investigation team” so that we could pursue all the leads we had and go anywhere the evidence took us.
Righton in his diaries had made the task of investigation relatively straightforward.
He had listed the names and ages of each boy he had abused from 1957 onwards in categories of which institution the victims had been resident at the time,and most sickeningly of all, had scored each child’s level of abuse from 1 (touching) to 10 (buggery)
My Director was prepared to release me and 2 of my social workers to be part of such a team if we were seen as suitable applicants. Nothing came of this request and this huge body of evidence against Righton fell in to a black hole. A small group of us, a very senior Police Officer, two very experienced investigative journalists and myself met with a senior Opposition Party MP in 1994 to lodge a complaint and demand action.
We named MP’s that we believed might be involved in this organised network. Nothing came of that either.
My Director David Tombs retired in 1994 and my team was closed down and disbanded virtually immediately afterwards.” [6]
Peter McKelvies team was closed down.
This was a Hereford and Worcestershire document from 1993 which Peter McKelvie authored. It mentions
Righton’s PIE links
Links to the Swedish and Norwegian “PIE’s”
Organised abuse in Gozo, Malta with Righton and another man involved in “trade” in victims
Likely paedophiles as a bishop, social services and education staff and civil servants
Individuals in possible major institutional abuse
Ability to prove that Righton abused many boys in a school 30 years ago (probably Redhill School)
Righton’s connections to “rentboy” scene in London
Righton abuse of boys, either in care or known to social services, all over the country
Several boxfuls of letters and his diaries
In another document entitled “A Personal Viewpoint” Peter McKelvie suggests
Coordinated network of professionals involved in abuse of children
Access to children was easy via various official schemes
Children were being trafficked around the country
Small joint task force of 4 experienced social workers and 4 police be set up
Task force should investigate PIE and abuse in social work
Peter Righton, a serial child abuser, got away with it all the way until his death in 2007, even though there was evidence written in his own hand in diaries and letters.
He was Director of the National Institute of Social Work Directors and despite his host of contacts all over Britain, and uninhibited access to children through the Social Services, Righton was never tried for serious sexual assaults or rape.
All he ever got was a fine of £900 when he was caught importing child abuse images in 1992, and separately a caution for indecent assault, probably in 1994/5 [15]
How did Righton get away with it?
“..Peter Righton was questioned about indecent assaults on children by the Obscene Publications Squad in November 1994 – several months after the Hereford & Worcester investigation had been shut down, and after the BBC documentary Secret Life of a Paedophile had been broadcast [June 1]”[9]
Righton’s contacts were numerous, some are outlined here Goodness and Harmony Diplomatic Connections and PIE / Diplomat Robert Alston – brother of Richard Alston[26]
Nearly all of those connected to him got away with it as well. Most appear never to have even been charged. Those that did get charged got lightly dealt with.
Richard Alston got away with it – at present I cannot find any conviction from 1992-95 for Richard Alston who was Peter Rightons long term partner, and Headmaster of New Barns School for special needs pupils in Toddington, Gloucestershire.
Charles Napier got away lightly. Although he had a conviction from back in April 1972 for indecency with schoolboys in his charge [15] it appears that no effort was made to look for further abuse since. Napier was charged with just two counts of indecent assault and received a 9 month sentence. This was possibly for the abuse mentioned in the letter found at Bloomfield’s House. Charles Scott Napier 1995 Dec 8 Court of Appeal [18]. Charles Napier is the half brother to Conservative MP and recent minister John Whittingdale.
Morris Fraser was connected to Righton, but in his own right was connected to many others,and a prolific child abuser wherever he went. Bits of Books Blog has a good timeline Dr Morris Fraser, Belfast, Long Island New York, Islington[27]
A proper investigation of Fraser by the Obscene Publications Squad would have investigated the Azimuth Trust. It had featured in the television programme about Righton – Secret Life of a Paedophile[9]. Fraser had been accused of child sexual abuse in the Report of the Azimuth Trust Cornwall Council Publish 1994 Azimuth Trust Report [19]
The Paedophile Information Exchange, PIE was probably the most notorious child abuse organisation ever. Peter Righton was one of the founder members. There was documentary evidence of his host of connections to many members. Nothing was done.
Abroad Righton also had connections in Norway, Sweden, Malta and the Netherlands
Whoever is responsible for shutting down the investigation into Righton, and his connections is culpable for all the abuse carried out by Righton, Napier, Alston and others since 1994. Many serial child abusers were allowed to spend most of their lives abusing children.
The fact that the investigation did not far was not due to lack of evidence, it did not get far for other reasons. What were they?
Who was responsible?
Michael Hames was Head of the Obscene Publications Squad from 1990 until his retirement in Sept 1993, [p297] Wikipedia states 1994 [8]
Let us look at what Hames says of the investigation in his book. 2001 Michael Hames The Dirty Squadis available here [15]
Hames on the Peter Righton Investigation
[All information and pages numbers in this section is from Hames book unless stated [15]]
Hames’s section on Peter Righton starts on page 208. He says he heard of the Righton case in September 1992 with a phone call from a detective in Evesham, West Mercia. They had been on a raid with customs, and found disturbing things at the house of Peter Righton.
Hames rang Valerie Howarth from Childline to find out who Peter Righton was, found he was a “big fish”. That day he sent 2 officers to help search Righton’s house in Evesham under a search warrant and seized a large amount of material.
They wanted to continue the inquiry continued at Righton’s partner, Richard Alston’s school in Gloucestershire, where he was Headmaster and Righton a governor, but Hames says that was not met with enthusiasm.
Hames spoke to Herbert Laming, Chief Inspector of Social Services Inspectorate, who told him that government ministers and himself were keen to get to the truth and that a comprehensive inquiry be established. This was begun by joint Police and Social services team in Hereford and Worcester.
It was found that Righton was a member of PIE and contributed a chapter of Perspectives on Paedophilia in 1981. He was charged with possession of indecent photographs, pleaded guilty and fined. Hames says that was the extent of action that could be taken against him under the law. This is correct for the images at the time, but not for his other offences.
They found Righton had written to Dept of Education to remove Charles Napier from List 99, of banned teachers. Napier had been convicted on indecency in 1972 with schoolboys in his charge.
Investigation was made into Alston’s school in West Country. According to Hames [15] Operation Clarence was set up by him with the officers responsible Graham Passingham and Dave Flanagan, targeting schoolmasters and people involved in Education in particular, which soon traced links between Righton and other offenders.
According to Bob Long and Bob McLachlans book [p178 [31]] Operation Clarence started to investigate a paedophile network consisting mainly of public school teachers, doctors, clergy men, and others involved in social work [31]. No mention is made of Peter Righton.
David Bloomfield (I think wrongly spelled Blomfield in Hames’s book) Chief Executive of charity Standing Conference on Schools Science and Technology was a target, where they found child abuse images in his flat and a letter from Napier [15]
Napier was employed as teacher in Cairo and the letter boasted of abuse against boys there.
Hames says the inquiry finished in 1994, and the results were disappointing despite building up a huge database.
Napier having previously been suspended by the British Council was suspended, and when he returned to UK was arrested, charged with indecent assault and given 18 months. [The court appeal [18] clearly states that the two 9 months sentences, one for each count of indecent assault were concurrent not consecutive ie a total of 9 months, not added together, so Hames appears to have got this wrong]
Blomfield [correct probably Bloomfield] was fined for possession of what was called then “child pornography” and sacked from his job. He went to Portugal.
Righton was cautioned for an offence of indecent assault that had taken place 30 years previously.
The Home Office left the recommendation from the joint investigation that a National inquiry be set up on file. [NB further research check Home Office and who might have been there in 1994]
[Would be useful if someone with the book could upload relevant pages]
Christopher Harry Ashby, UK, a primary school teacher from Kent was arrested and found guilty as well Philip Taylor [32]
This leaves many questions about the Police investigation both with Hames in charge and after he had left.
Was the investigation carried out properly when Hames was Head of the unit? Even he says he was disappointed with the outcome.
Was a caution really the best that could be achieved with the wealth of evidence that we now know he had in Righton’s diary? Strangely Hames did not mention such a goldmine find in his book.
When did the unit under Hames interview Righton, if at all?
Why did they not follow up Righton’s serious offences?
Why was no action taken against Richard Alston? Was that Hames’s decision?
Was this really the best the investigation into all the other contacts of Righton?
Why were no PIE contacts arrested and charged?
Was there any interference from Government departments?
Hames had a heart attack and DCI Jim Reynolds came into the squad from Stolen Motor Vehicle Squad and then took over when Hames retired [p45 [31]]. It is uncertain when Hames was off with a heart attack, or when Reynolds actually took over, and who was acting head in the meantime.
Why did the Unit interview Righton in Nov 1994? It was over 6 months after the TV programme.
Was it this Nov 1994 interview that ended in a caution?
Why did they not follow up Righton’s serious offences?
Why did they not follow up PIE connections?
Why did they not follow up abuse abroad?
Was there any outside interference from any Government departments?
Why was the investigation shut down?
Who shut it down?
It appears that Hames and Reynolds have questions to be asked about their time in charge and the lack of results on the child sexual abuse of Righton, Alston, PIE and more.
Righton moved to Suffolk, with Richard Alston to the Thornham Magna Estate near Eye, owned by Lord Henniker.
[As an aside, another child abuser Norman Walker [35] owned the Diana Quenton School, Park House, Palgrave, Suffolk, and had connections in Eye. If anyone knows of any connections of Walker in the area I would be grateful and particularly grateful if anyone has any documents or paper from the School. Could you check them for a watermark and contact me if there is one.]
Child Sexual Abuse in 2012
Let me jump forward in time 18 years to October 2012. All this time during which children were being abused by Righton, Alston and Napier and others in PIE.
Most people in 2012 did not know that child sexual abuse was widespread and affected millions of people. That milestone had not been reached, that Rubicon had yet to be crossed.
Details about Jimmy Savile’s child abuse and the cover up of it by the BBC was just starting to come out. On 19 October 2012 the Metropolitan Police Service launched a formal criminal investigation, Operation Yewtree, into historic allegations of child sexual abuse by Savile and other people
In Oct 2012 Peter McKelvie had approached Tom Watson and briefed him on the Peter Righton case that had got virtually nowhere in 1992
On 24th October 2012 Tom asked a question, recorded in Hansard [13]
However it is best to watch it, if only for David Cameron’s face which
New calls for select committee chairmen to be banned from holding jobs and shares where there’s a conflict of interest
TORY MP Tim Yeo stepped down this morning from the chairmanship of the cross-party Energy and Climate Change Commons Select Committee pending inquiries over sleaze allegations against him. It could spell the end for fat cat consultancy fees for the chairmen of such committees in the future.
He is a director of ITI Energy Limited, AFC Energy, Group Eurotunnel, Eco City Vehicles, chairman of TMO Renewables, a management consultant with Regenesis, serving on the Environment And Safety Committee
Diane Yeo – a former BBC producer, she is well -connected among the higher echelons of the Tory party and counts Douglas Hurd, the foreign secretary, among friends.
Diane Yeo was an appeals director for the YWCA, the Girl Guides and the Africa Educational Trust, and in 1985 became director of Charity Fund-Raising Managers
12 Dec 2001
Diane Yeo has just stepped down after six years as chief executive of Sargent Cancer Care for Children to join a little known refugee charity; RefAid
RefAid is the only British charity affiliated to the United nations refugee Agency, UNHCR
She was a volunteer roving ambassador for Save the Children
Tim Yeo is paid £40,000 by a Dubai educational group. As the MP for South Suffolk, he earns another £65,750.
It’s no wonder Yeo can afford a large house in his constituency and a London flat with panoramic views of the Thames.
Yeo, 68, went to Charterhouse and Cambridge, marrying Diane Pickard, who worked in children’s music at the BBC, in 1970. They had two children. Their son Jonathan is a painter whose subjects have included Nicole Kidman, Tony Blair and David Cameron.
In 1983 he was elected as the MP for South Suffolk, but it wasn’t until 1990 that Yeo, on the dripping-wet side of the Tory Party, became a minister. An undistinguished environment minister, he made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
As a new MP, Yeo campaigned to end discrimination against illegitimate children. He should have declared an interest. At Christmas 1993, it emerged he had fathered two children out of wedlock.
He had a six-month-old child, Claudia Marie, with his mistress Julia Stent, a Tory councillor in East London. He had also fathered a child, who was put up for adoption, during a student relationship at Cambridge.
Yeo was forced to resign. His wife stayed with him.
With regards to previous correspondence, I was disturbed to read today of yet another attack on Chief Constable Mike Veal by your crime correspondent, Rebecca Carter.
It was of great concern on two accounts.
First, the article quotes the opinion of Lord Armstrong, who clearly seeks to undermine the competence of the Chief Constable.
It was a curious choice by Ms Camber to quote Lord Armstrong as less than two years ago, the Scottish Daily Mail published a withering attack on this individual for his apparent attempts to cover up child abuse by another senior Conservative MP, Sir Peter Morrison.
I am sure that your readers may have formed a different view of Lord Armstrong’s attack on the Chief Constable had details of the Mail’s earlier article been revealed.
Secondly and possibly even more seriously, Wiltshire Police has confirmed that the Daily Mail has indulged in fake news.
The investigation into Edward Heath has not been called off!
I note that despite communication from your Editor Emeritus, Peter Wright, your newspapers have still not reminded the readers that the heath government’s Chief Whip had admitted to that government’s protection of Conservative MP child sex offenders and even confessed to using that information in order to blackmail those implicated into supporting the government’s policies, including legislation enacted at thatn time.
Thus, the United Kingdom was effectively governed at that time by means of blackmail. I trust your newspapers wil be honest enough to disclose that, as your attacks on Chief Constable Veale have continued,
Finally, I have provided expert witness evidence regarding Edward Heath and others that has been accepted by Wiltshire Police. Included in those named are two of your most senior journalists.
….
Robert Green
MI5 had known about the allegations but failed to investigate after the MP denied them. Sir Antony Duff, then MI5 director-general, wrote to Lord (then Sir Robert) Armstrong, saying the man ‘has a penchant for small boys’.
Lord Armstrong is at the centre of accusations of a major Establishment cover-up
I won’t name child abuse MP: Fury as Mrs Thatcher’s Cabinet chief defends failure to act over senior Tory
Senior civil servant in Thatcher government accused of ‘shocking’ attitude
Ex-Cabinet Secretary Lord Armstrong defended apparent abuse cover-up
Was warned by security services in 1986 that MP had ‘a penchant for boys’
Said he believed decision not to investigate claims was ‘correct at the time’
The newly-unearthed files expose how protection of the Establishment took priority over the need to prosecute anyone suspected of paedophilia and over the safety of vulnerable young children.
wo of the files unearthed by the Cabinet Office were said to have come from the Prime Minister’s office.
One related to the diplomat Sir Peter Hayman and the security risks posed by his ‘unnatural sexual proclivities’.
The other named former Tory minister Sir William van Straubenzee
In a letter to Armstrong about the suspected MP, Sir Antony warned that secrecy must prevail. ‘At the present stage…the risks of political embarrassment to the Government is rather greater than the security danger,’ he wrote.
In other words, if the rumours of a sex-ring were true and children had been abused, the welfare of the child must be subjugated to the national interest.
yep 404 for me too – can’t think why TPTB might want this removed….
Why would Wiltshire Police choose Richard Hoskins??

That complaint was in relation to the way a case of historic sexual abuse had been managed.
Investigation relates to complaints about sex abuse investigation in 2008/10
Mike Veale cannot take over from present chief constable Pat Geenty until Mr Geenty has retired – and he’s not allowed to retire until a controversial report into his conduct is issued by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
The IPCC is currently looking into a complaint from more than one set of parents of victims of a paedophile in a high profile case in Wiltshire. The parents complained to the IPCC about the way Mr Geenty handled a previous complaint they had made to him about the way the officers investigated the case.
That cloud cast a shadow over the announcement yesterday that Mr Veale would take over from Mr Geenty.
Chief Constable, Pat Geenty at Haywards Care Centre meeting Prince Philip

This was a big day for the future of Wiltshire Police. First thing in the morning myself, Wiltshire Council Leader, Jane Scott, Chief Executive of Swindon Borough Council, Gavin Jones, Chief Executive of the Community Foundation, Rosemary Macdonald and an independent human resources specialist, Geoff Pears, interviewed Deputy Chief Constable. Mike Veale for the role of Chief Constable.
Wiltshire Police chief Pat Geenty, investigated for misleading CSA victims, was also ACPO lead for missing persons cases.
Geenty national lead for missing persons when the force he headed failed to investigate Ted Heath who abused/killed disappeared children?
He started his policing career in 1982 as a Constable with Gloucestershire Constabulary serving in both uniform and CID officer and later Sergeant and Inspector. He moved to Humberside Police in 1998 as a Chief inspector, then Superintendent and finally as Chief Superintendent.
He is the ACPO lead for Missing Persons.
He was divisional commander for East Yorkshire during large scale floods of 2007.
Before his policing career, Geenty was a schoolteacher in Blackpool and Cheltenham.
He has an MA in Criminology and Policing Studies from University of Exeter, and a Bachelor of Education from Saint Pauls College
DISGRACED former former Humberside Police Chief Superintendent police chief Alec Alexander formed a “rapport” with Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliff
The former Humberside Police Chief Superintendent chose serial killer Sutcliffe as a “case study” while studying for a degree.
The death of Sarah Wright, who was raped and abused by her police chief father Alec Alexander, but bravely gave evidence against him at his trial…To the outside world Alexander was the personification of respectability but, as Simon Bristow reports, in reality he was a controlling paedophile.
… relationship was a world away from the public image created by the policeman who seemed the personification of respectability.He was the family man who achieved high rank in public office, lived in a large house in an upmarket suburb, drove a Jaguar and wore a Rolex.He also, apparently, gave generously of his time, and “would do anything for anybody”.
And he was the man given the honour of welcoming Prince Phillip to the Police Boys Club, in Elm Avenue, Garden Village, east Hull, in May 1993 – barely a year, as it later emerged, after he had raped his own daughter Sarah.

Police have LOST woman’s Ted Heath statement about a missing boy
14 NOV 2015
Detectives have been in contact with author Linda Corby – more than four decades after her first complaint – to take the details down again
Lost: Woman made a statement about a child disappearing from Ted Heath’s yacht. The woman had made a report to police, which she has been told has been lost
A woman who warned Jersey Police about a child vanishing from Ted Heath’s yacht has been told by officers they cannot find her original statement.
Detectives have been in contact with author Linda Corby – more than four decades after her first complaint – to take the details down again.
They also revealed her “enquiry” had now been handed over to Wiltshire Police , who are taking the lead in the investigation into the former Prime Minister.
She was told the police inquiry into Ted Heath had been given the code name; ‘Operation Conifer’, by the English force.
Earlier this year author, Linda Corby, told the Daily Mirror how she and another local politician, who has since died, made two statements to police in the 1970s.
Linda and the Jersey senator were just outside the yacht club in the 1970s as they watched 11 boys aged six to 11 from Jersey’s notorious Haut de la Garenne children’s home board the former PM’s yacht in the island’s capital St Helier.
When the yacht returned, they counted them back and one boy was missing.
The local politician asked Linda to back him up about what they had both witnessed and so they visited Jersey police HQ together to make their statements.
But nothing happened and she claims they were later told how police officers had been ordered not to investigate their concerns.
After her story appeared in the Daily Mirror she contacted Jersey police asking to see her statement but said she was told it could not be found.
Linda explained: “They phoned to tell me they couldn’t find my statement.I was not surprised at all – so much has gone missing over the years.
Linda later received an email saying her enquiry had been handed over.
“I couldn’t believe it when they told me the Wiltshire inquiry was called ‘Operation Conifer’ – how appropriate!” she said.
“ It’s named after the fastest growing tree ever and there are branches going missing all the time. It also shows the paperwork is going to be astronomical.”
The email Linda received last month from Jersey Police stated: “As I said on the phone to you Wiltshire Police are taking the lead on the Ted Heath enquiries and last month we delivered them the paperwork relating to your enquiry.
Previously describing what she saw in the early 1970s, Linda, 62, said: “I was with Jersey senator Ralph Vibert who has since died.
“He said he had been warned about children going on Heath’s yacht, Morning Cloud, and some not coming back.
“We watched as a group of boys from the home got on. They were in shorts and T-shirts and looked as if they were on a day trip.”
Author Linda claimed she later went with the senator to Bouley Bay to watch the yacht return.
She said: “We counted them back but one boy was missing.
This week Linda added: “I don’t know if there was anything in it or not but the fact is it should have been investigated. It is disgusting.”
The mum, from Jersey, insists a few days after they made their statements, officers told them “someone above” had told the officers not to investigate.
She said back then the police were controlled by the defence committee so they assumed it was them who told officers to leave it alone.
In 2008 a massive probe at Haut de la Garenne revealed many cases of child abuse against past residents.
Reports that human remains and evidence of torture had been found were later denied.
The ‘Independent Jersey Care Inquiry’ is investigating the abuse of children in it’s care system over many years.
Jersey Police confirmed they had contacted Linda and the information had now
been handed over to Wiltshire Police.
They could not confirm whether or not the statements had been found, as the officer was on annual leave but they pointed out their system had been computerised since the 70s.
Tim Fortesque – worked as a whip in Edward Heath’s government between 1970 and 1973
In short, the chief whip would cover up any scandal, even if it involved “small boys”, child sexual abuse, child rape, whatever you want to call it.
They wouldn’t report the crime to the police, although they may use their contacts with the police to make sure to make sure the matter went no further.
This means that a paedophile would be the ideal candidate for promotion within the party, easily blackmailed and bought, loyalty and discretion guaranteed.
Dr Rachel Hoskins, an expert on ritual sacrifice who has been asked by detectives to examine claims made against Heath and others as part of Operation Conifer, was highly critical of the investigation.
Wiltshire Police chief Veale confirmed that, as part of the investigation, a confidential report dealing with satanic ritual sexual abuse had been commissioned by Wiltshire police from a recognised expert registered with the National Crime Agency.
But, he added: “Let me be clear, this part of the investigation is only one small element of the overall inquiry and does not relate to Sir Edward Heath.”
…Mardoche’s representative, Sarah Beskine, persuaded the judge I should be instructed.
I asked Islington Council if they would co-fund my trip to Africa to investigate.
To my astonishment, they funded half my costs to the tune of £2,200, although a council source informed me there was disquiet about a white person being instructed on a ‘black case’.

At the age of 21 he travelled to Africa intending a gap year, but stayed six years.
Upon returning to the UK she enrolled at Oxford University to read Theology and took a double First, then completed a PhD at King’s College London. Rachel then went on to be a Senior Lecturer at Bath Spa University, then Senior Research Fellow at King’s College London.

Dr Richard Hoskins wants to “give something good back to children” and will be tackling the 26-mile run in aid of the Joint Educational Trust (JET).
JET places children, who have suffered trauma or are at risk, in boarding, specialist or independent day schools as necessary, where they can “recover, grow and be educated in a secure, stable and caring environment”.
Dr Hoskins said: “I spent six years working in child protection and decided to make a difference by becoming a teacher.
“My aim and ethos is to try to give something good back to children. When I heard that the Joint Educational Trust wanted someone to run the 2009 Flora London Marathon for them I leapt at the chance.”
Dr Hoskins, who has never run a marathon, is aiming to raise £2,000 for the trust link
From 2012 – Richard Hoskins described as ‘criminologist
Another example of a police “expert” providing support services to the police:
Graham Powell is one of the country’s most distinguished psychologists, a past president of the British Psychological Society and a current provider of psychology support services to the Serious Organised Crime Agency, the National Crime Squad, the Metropolitan Police, Kent Police, Essex Police and the Internet Watch Foundation.
In Perspectives on Paedophilia, however, he co-authored a chapter which stated: “In the public mind, paedophile attention is generally assumed to be traumatic and to have lasting and wholly deleterious consequences for the victim. The evidence that we have considered here does not support this view … we need to ask not why are the effects of paedophile action so large, but why so small.”
How a criminologist probing the ritual ‘boy in the Thames’ murder had to confront the personal tragedy of his own daughter’s mysterious death in Africa
It’s a story that could be taken from a novel – but every word is true. When Dr Richard Hoskins, an expert on African religion, was asked to investigate the murder of a young boy in London, he was driven to revisit his own terrible experience of death and witchcraft in the Congo…
London, September 21, 2001
… the mutilated torso of a little boy from the water. The child had no name, so the police called him Adam.
I was at my desk when, the following January, they called. My room was in a temporary building at Bath Spa University campus with a window looking out over fields. Dry stone walls and clumps of ash and oak trees stood in the winter light.
‘Dr Hoskins, I’m Detective Inspector Will O’Reilly from Scotland Yard’s Serious Crime Group,’ said the voice.
I was a senior lecturer in African religions and had spoken on the radio about the Adam case. Now DI O’Reilly wanted to pay me a visit.
Lost child: Author and criminologist Richard Hoskins with his daughter Abigail
My first marriage had ended, but it had given me two wonderful children, David, now 12, and Elspeth, ten, and my relationship with Sue, their mother, remained warm.While at Bath, I’d met Faith. Now in my mid-30s, I was close to being a contented man…
Bolobo, Congo, 1987 to 1989
We had been working at the Baptist Mission medical centre in the village of Bolobo, 300 miles from Kinshasa, for more than a year when Sue told me she was pregnant.
Twins, and a breech birth, well over two months premature. In this place. I had the most acute sense of approaching catastrophe, as if the door of an enormous iron vault was closing on us all.
It was a nightmare scene, hot and sulphurous, full of pain and blood. I had never imagined that an event so masked in rosy myths could be as barbarous.
She was born dead, our first daughter. I never saw her face. I don’t know what happened to her. Somehow the child, no bigger than a paperback book, was spirited away.
… a second child was dragged into the world, mewling, gasping for breath. But somehow alive – Abigail
Despite the odds, Abigail grew into a delightful impish toddler. Life settled into its slow rhythm. Sue became pregnant again. Then, one day, I had a visitor.
‘The living dead control this world and everything in it, Mr Richard. They bring life, and they take it away. They tell us what to do.‘And twins have a special power, Mr Richard. Mbo is calling your Mpia to come and join her in the shadowlands. I am sure of it.’
‘Her twin sister? Calling her? But she’s . . .’ I stopped myself.
‘No, Mr Richard,’ Tata Mpia said gently. ‘Mbo is not dead. That is the thing I am trying to say to you.
‘She is one of the living dead. And she is calling out to her twin sister, calling her to the world of the living dead.’
I stared back at him. I didn’t want this vile superstition in my home. Yet I could see it had taken great courage for Tata Mpia to tell me this. And I realised he too was scared, scared for me, scared for my family.
‘You need to see the nganga,’ Tata Mpia went on urgently. Though sometimes called witch doctors, ngangas were really traditional healers or shamans. ‘The nganga will call upon the living dead to give your first daughter rest.
‘You must spill some blood, Mr Richard. If you spill blood it will satisfy the living dead. If you do not wish to lose your daughter, you must perform a sacrifice.’
I couldn’t possibly get into this. The very idea was absurd. Yet I had not instantly dismissed it. Perhaps I had spent too long out in the villages. And besides, I loved Abigail so. Could it really do any harm to cover all the bases? For the cost of a single goat, it would be over and done with. Back in England, in time, I would laugh about it at dinner parties.
But I knew it would not be as simple as that. There is a bridge to be crossed when stepping into a strange culture, and once crossed there is no way back. If I made that sacrifice, I would cease to be Western. I would open a door in my mind – and perhaps in my soul – to alien demons. I wrestled with my conscience as the vast brown river slid past. Here the river was ten miles wide.
But I knew I was not prepared to cross that bridge. There would be no sacrifice.
Bolobo, June 1989
I knew something was wrong as soon as I walked through the door. It was about a month after Tata Mpia’s visit.
Abigail always filled the house with laughter. But today everything was quiet. The front room was empty.
In Abigail’s bedroom her toys were strewn around in cheerful disorder. It was unthinkable that our chattering 18-month-old daughter, our little noise machine, could possibly be here. And suddenly there she was.
My heart swooped with relief. She was standing at the window in our bedroom, her finger in her mouth. ‘Abigail? What are you up to?’
She turned her head, and the expression on her small face, normally as bright as a new flower, lifted the hairs on the back of my neck.
There was something in her eyes I had never seen before. Something that made her look old beyond her years. She turned away to stare out of the window again.This was the only point in the house from which it was possible to see the graveyard.
Abigail died a few weeks later on July 24. She had been suffering a light fever, no more. When I saw her there – eyes and mouth open – my rational brain knew that all hope was gone
The Boy In The River, by Richard Hoskins, is published by Pan
HOW A BIZARRE CONFESSION LED TO ADAM
A breakthrough that helped lead to the boy’s identification came in 2002 – in extraordinary circumstances.
A woman called Joyce Osagiede told Glasgow social workers that she belonged to a cult and her daughters must attend a ritual ceremony.
Osagiede had already told immigration officials that she had married a member of a cult called The Black Coat Eyes Of The Devil Guru Maharaj.
She claimed he had sacrificed her youngest child.
In December 2002, she was deported, and when later interviewed by British police in Lagos, she said she had been a cult organiser and had bought a pair of orange-red shorts similar to those found on Adam.
She added: ‘I know he was killed in Lewisham.’
She also claimed in 2008 to an ITV journalist that she had brought Adam to London and even had a photograph.
His real name, she said, was Ikpomwosa. She remains free in Nigeria.
No one has ever been charged with Adam’s murder.
Islington paid £4,372 to fund the trip, including Dr Hoskins’s fee of £3,080, half of the cost of the £710 flight, taxi fares, accommodation and refreshments bills.
Speaking yesterday at the education conference at Wellington College, in Berkshire, Dr Hoskins, a research fellow in criminology at Roehampton University, said: “These deliverances can be very violent.
I went to the Congo in 2005 and spent a fortnight with Mardoche’s extended family.
2016 Richard Hoskins: I am the only “multicultural expert“ on the national police database
…Mardoche’s representative, Sarah Beskine, persuaded the judge I should be instructed.
I asked Islington Council if they would co-fund my trip to Africa to investigate.
To my astonishment, they funded half my costs to the tune of £2,200, although a council source informed me there was disquiet about a white person being instructed on a ‘black case’.
The expert in African religion involved, Dr Richard Hoskins, claimed during a speech at a college on Saturday that he was flown out to DRC to investigate in 2004 (elsewhere he says in 2005)
The High Court therefore gave permission for Dr Hoskins to be jointly instructed by all the parties to give advice on his area of expertise. In order to prepare his report, he met members of the boy’s extended family while on a prearranged research trip to the DRC.
“It is totally unacceptable that an expert instructed in the course of care proceedings should disregard his professional duty of confidentiality in what would appear to be a cynical attempt to promote his book. We have written to him asking him to stop discussing this case publicly.
The story has come to light after a talk by Dr Hoskins at the Festival of Education at Wellington College on Saturday (June 23).
Dr Hoskins said: “All I said in my text at Wellington was that a council part funded me on a trip to Africa to see if a child in their care should be sent back to Africa for an exorcism as the family requested.”
Social workers considered sending boy to the Congo for exorcism
Council chiefs have been criticised for considering sending a boy in their care for exorcism.
24 Jun 2012
The boy, whose family were from Africa, had been taken into care by Islington council in north London.
His mother, who no longer had responsibility for her child, asked for him to be sent to the Democratic Republic of Congo for “deliverance”.
The boy’s family claimed this was necessary because they believed he was possessed by “kindoki” or evil spirits.
Islington social services officials then paid more than £4,000 for an expert to travel to Africa to investigate.
The expert, Richard Hoskins, an academic specialising in African religions, was alarmed by what he saw on the visit, and advised the council that the boy should not be exorcised.
During his visit to Kinshasa, the capital of the DRC, in 2005, Dr Hoskins met the grandparents of the boy at the centre of the case. They told him that the child had been “infected by sorcery” while in the UK and that he “would destroy them all”.
The deliverance that the boy was to undergo would have involved starving him of food and fluids for three days.
The Islington investigation followed high-profile cases in which children born in Africa, or of African heritage, living in the UK had been abused or killed by relatives who believed they were possessed.
In 2000, Victoria Climbié, eight, from the Ivory Coast, was tortured and murdered by her great aunt and her boyfriend in Haringey.
Three years later, the mother, aunt and uncle of an eight year old girl in Hackney were sent to prison for between four and ten years for a “campaign of torture” against her
The academic, who gave evidence earlier this year at the Kristy Bamu murder trial, is also the author of The Boy in the River, which explores the unsolved case of “Adam”, a young black boy whose mutilated torso was found floating in the Thames in 2001.
Dr Hoskins said he was currently working on a case where a teenage girl, born in the UK of African descent, had been removed from her family following a violent “deliverance” in which she was hit with sticks, cut on her arms with a knife and had chilli pepper rubbed into her eyes and genitalia.
She was placed by social services in the temporary care of her pastor, who had promoted the use of the exorcism and then put pressure on the child to withdraw all evidence.
Islington council acknowledged it had paid Dr Hoskins to travel to Africa, but claimed it was on the instruction of a judge.
Dr Hoskins was instructed to meet with extended family members to assess their belief that a child of the family was possessed by spirits. This was on the instruction of the Family Court during care proceedings.”
The council said it could not disclose the court order. Dr Hoskins said he had never been aware of a court order asking for the visit to be arranged.
A spokesman for the Department for Education said: “It is not acceptable for councils to be considering this. These services can be extremely traumatic. We are tackling all forms of child abuse linked to belief, including belief in witchcraft or spirit possession.
“Such abuse is rightly condemned by people of all cultures, communities and faiths.
UPDATE
Press Release: Dr Richard Hoskins re. Islington Council and a research trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2004
I wish to clarify and correct certain erroneous comments regarding Islington Council in the media.
I was already going to the DRC on a research trip and following a meeting of all parties under the auspices of Hopkin Murray Beskine it was decided to request that my trip be extended to include a visit to the wider family of the child in question, interviews with them and examination of what a deliverance service would entail. For this 50% of my research costs, including flight, would be paid for by the parties in question. The proposed visit to the extended family was agreed by all parties involved in the proceedings.
It was not correct that Islington Council alone funded my trip to the DRC. I can confirm that it was a joint instruction during Court proceedings to enable the Court and the parties to have as much information as possible about issues which, at that time, were relatively new and on which no guidance had been issued to local authorities.
The Council wish me to clarify that the reason they initiated proceedings was to protect the child concerned and that they took such action to prevent him being returned to the DRC for any type of deliverance service. I am happy to accept that this was the position.
I am also happy to accept that Islington Council were trying to ensure thorough investigation into the matter, around which I have no problem. Indeed I thoroughly support the Council’s desire to ensure the welfare of the child is paramount. There is a difference between investigating a matter thoroughly and actually sending a child back for exorcism.
My over-riding concern is the welfare of the child and other children. Sometimes we have to raise difficult questions in order to make best practice happen. My driving motive therefore in issuing this press release is that we move on from this particular case to the more general discussion of how child welfare is addressed in cases where multi-cultural matters are pertinent. Let’s never forget the child is at the centre.
DESPITE the seriousness of British witchcraft abuse, Dr Hoskins says a £4,000
taxpayer-funded research trip he took to the Congo was an “outrageous” waste
of public cash.
The trip was arranged by Islington Council social services after a mother
claimed her 14-year-old son needed to be sent home because he was possessed.
Dr Hoskins, a research fellow in criminology at Roehampton University, said:
“If I didn’t come back with an assessment, he would have been sent out
anyway. It’s outrageous. As a taxpayer justifying that, it’s not right.”
Islington Council said the trip was on the instructions of a judge.
London has become the epicentre for a global trafficking enterprise involving thousands of children for exploitation, sexual abuse and even voodoo killing.
Dr Hoskins: This is my feature in today’s Mail on Sunday. To warn you: it is quite gritty. It has been a busy few days with that, the unexpected appearance of Sky News for an interview at my Mum’s in Norfolk and then picking up my lad for a few days. A week from now I’m off to Malaysia to start my next novel. Still, I’ve always enjoyed living life to the max so why change the habit of a lifetime?

He has also taught Religious Studies at Shebbear College in Devon. He has also held a deputy headship.
How he came to be head of religious studies at Shebbear College is detailed in his book Sacrifice.
“My world began to fall apart internally and externally in terms of what I was dealing with. The material of these ritual crimes was blowing my world apart. I really wanted to do something positive for children. That was key for me after seeing what was going on.”
Interestingly, Richard’s wife, Faith Warner, was one of the first girls to attend Shebbear College.
“I never in a million years thought that I would come here. Faith’s parents live four miles away. I don’t know if I believe in fate but sometimes I think: ‘yeah I do actually’. It’s been really strange. It still feels very right and I love it.”
A FORMER TV broadcaster is to be the new head of religious studies at a West Devon school.
Headmaster of Shebbear College, Bob Barnes, said he was delighted to announce the appointment Dr Richard Hoskins. Mr Barnes said: ’Richard Hoskins has a wide experience of teaching and life and will bring a fresh perspective to the department.’ Dr Hoskins has been a University lecturer for the past ten years and joins Shebbear College from King’s College London to teach Religious Studies and French. Whilst at King’s, Dr Hoskins often appeared on radio and television to give expert comment on religious affairs, and presented a BBC2 Documentary on new churches. After advising on child protection policies he decided he wanted to ’make a difference’ by teaching children instead of adults. He said he was ’absolutely delighted’ to take on the challenge of stretching children academically in a subject that required them to think seriously about the contemporary world, while at the same time encouraging them to enjoy the subject. Dr Hoskins is married to Faith, a former student at Shebbear College who is a tutor at Exeter University. They have a five month old son

Mr Fiennes accepted an invitation to the college by Dr Richard Hoskins, Head of Religious Studies, who has written a book entitled ’Sacrifice,’ which will be published later this year.
Mr Hoskins’ agent passed the book to Mr Fiennes’ agent, as it is hoped he will star in the film version of the tale.
The book has two parallel stories. One is about how Mr Hoskins came to be involved in the investigation into the murder of a young African boy in London, and the other is about his own journey to Africa when he left school, and what happened to him there. As the book progresses the two stories come together.
Victims of paedophile teacher Simon Harris get payout from former school Shebbear College
Jul 15th 2016
Four pupils abused by a paedophile Latin teacher who went on to prey on desperately poor Kenyan street children have received a payout from their former boarding school Shebbear College.
Simon Harris molested them at Shebbear College in Devon where he was a teacher and deputy housemaster in the 1980s.
Harris, of Pudleston near Leominster in Herefordshire, was jailed for 17 years and four months in February 2015 for a string of sex offences including abuse of three of the pupils from the school in the late 1980s, and five Kenyan boys between 2002 and 2013.
He set up a charity in Kenya in the 1990s, which prosecutors said he used to project an acceptable face to the community.
Harris became familiar with Kenya in the 1980s after taking British children there on trekking expeditions. He came up with the idea of running a charity in Kenya – called VAE – giving young British people the chance to teach local children during gap years.
But he was secretly taking advantage of children living in poverty by luring them into his luxury home with food, money and the promise of education.
(Wonder how well Richard Hoskins and convicted paedo Simon Harris knew one another…both taught at Shebbear, have partcipated in African charities etc ….At the age of twenty-one Richard Hoskins travelled to Africa intending a gap year, but stayed from 1986 until 1992.[2])
Lawyers for the men would not reveal the scale of the settlement.
Solicitor Rebekah Read, of Leigh Day, said: “We are pleased to have obtained compensation for these individuals.”
Sexual abuse settlement against Methodist Independent Schools Trust
6 April 2016
Four men who suffered sexual abuse as children at a public school in Devon have settled their claims against the Methodist Independent Schools Trust which is responsible for the school.
The men allege that they were abused by Simon Harris whilst they were boarding at Shebbear College. Simon Harris was a teacher and a deputy house master, employed at the school during the 1980’s.
One of the Kenyan victims who gave evidence during the trial committed suicide during proceedings.
Investigators from the National Crime Agency (NCA) who travelled to Kenya in a bid to trace victims described him as “one of the most prolific child sex offenders” they had ever encountered. The legal action claimed that the Trust was vicariously liable for the actions of Harris, and that it had a duty to protect pupils.
Harris left the school in 1989 as a result of abuse allegations, and set up his charity in the Kenyan town of Gilgil in the 1990s.
He spent 15 months in a British jail for possession of indecent images of children following a 2009 conviction.

VAE charity
Why did Simon Harris hold this post in the first place? It is noticeable that the charity for which he worked has not been much mentioned in the news coverage. I have no doubt that this is a deliberate so as to protect their name and reputation.
When reading the story, I kept wondering why, given Simon Harris was appointed by a British charity, did they not require him to fill in a DBS/ CRB form? This would have straight away flagged his previous history of sexual abuse of children under his care.
POLICE dropped a 1980s investigation into a North Devon teacher who went on to abuse more children, it has emerged.
Simon Harris, 55, was this week found guilty of seven charges of indecent and sexual assault on youngsters as well as possessing indecent images of children.
The crimes happened during his time as a charity worker in Kenya,a role he was able to take up despite being suspended from working at Shebbear College, near Holsworthy, after allegations were made by pupils there that he indecently assaulted them in the 1980s.
The complaints were investigated by Devon and Cornwall Police but dropped because the force says the boys’ families did not want the cases pursued. It was only when West Mercia Police, which was investigating the Kenya abuse, re-opened the Shebbear College case that Harris was charged with committing the earlier assaults.
In the intervening years he had taken up work for a children’s charity and was able to abuse again. link
Simon Harris has links to some of the top people, such as Sir George Young (above) who has links to Sir Jimmy Savile.

The Rt Rev Peter Fearnley Hullah, Bishop from Salisbury
The Rt Rev Peter Fearnley Hullah had worked as a director from the 16th of May 2002 up til the termination date on the 7th of July 2005. This manager had worked in Royal School Of Church Music(The) situated at 19 The Close, Salisbury, SP4 6HJ, in Wiltshire. Royal School Of Church Music(The) was started on the 8th of August 1930. The Rt Rev Peter Fearnley Hullah worked with many professionals for example: Sir David Harrison (from the 16th of May 2002 to the 7th of July 2005), Spencer William Freeman (from the 16th of May 2002 to the 7th of July 2005), Christopher William Field (from the 16th of May 2002 to the 7th of July 2005), Malcolm John Batt (from the 16th of May 2002 to the 7th of July 2005), Julia Mary Harrison Place (from the 16th of May 2002 to the 15th of July 2011). The Rt Rev Peter Fearnley Hullah was appointed to 3 companies. Other director jobs: Salisbury Diocesan Board Of Education(The) (The Diocesan Education Centre in Wilton, incorporated on the 4th of February 1949), The Headmasters’ And Headmistresses’ Conference (12 The Point Rockingham Road in Leicestershire, incorporated on the 26th of February 1909). We found 26 filings that mention Peter Fearnley, such as the documents submitted on: 28th of May 2002, 26th of June 2002, 26th of June 2002, 27th of May 2003, 27th of September 2003. Peter Fearnley is 67 years old.
Among the ripples of the police investigations into 1980s student rape at Chethams, the RNCM, Guildhall and other music schools, a private school reached a quiet settlement this week with a former student who had been sexually abused by a teacher between 1976 and 1983. – link
During the time of these abuses, there was a chaplain and housemaster at Sevenoaks School called Peter Hullah.
Stuart Neilson tells us that, as a pupil, he discussed sexual bullying and abuse with Hullah. ‘I am absolutely certain that he was aware of the nature and extent of the sexual abuse, and that he was both chaplain and a housemaster,’ he attests. At Mike Brewer’s trial, Hullah admitted being party to ‘a cover-up’ to arrange Brewer’s removal from the school. Except for his evidence at the trial, Hullah has maintained total media silence and refused requests for interview.
A former pupil at Chetham’s School of Music has described being sexually assaulted by her violin tutor, Chris Ling, at the age of 15.
The abuse started during a half-term course while all the other pupils were out, the witness told the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.
Former Chetham’s head teacher John Vallins said he was unaware of concerns about Ling’s conduct at the time.
Ling’s abuse emerged in 1990 after he left the school, the inquiry heard.
The former pupil, known as A2, said Chris Ling told her to keep the abuse a secret.
He told her she would have no chance of succeeding as a soloist if she disclosed to anyone what had happened, said the witness who gave evidence anonymously.
Chetham’s School in Manchester is one of the UK’s leading music schools.
The witness said the first sexual assault took place during the autumn half-term in 1989 when Ling organised a special course for pupils in a house in Manchester.
She said he assaulted her again at Easter in 1990 before he left his job at the end of the summer term, taking some pupils with him.
She said she felt “devastated” at not being among them.
“He had brainwashed us into thinking he was our only means of success,” she told the inquiry.
Police interview
Later that year, evidence began to emerge of sexual assaults by Ling on up to 12 other female pupils which led to a police investigation.
A2 told the inquiry the school gave her very little support when she was interviewed by police and failed to tell her parents what was going on.
Her new violin teacher was a man who had a reputation for having affairs with pupils and when he made inappropriate comments and stood too close to her during lessons, she complained but the school failed to support her, A2 told the inquiry.
Ling’s abuse “affected me emotionally and physically”, she told the inquiry.
“I’ve not played classical music since leaving there.
“I find it hard to listen to and I’ve burned most of my music.
“It has had an effect on my relationships.
“I seem to attract father-figure type men who end up having control issues over me and I end up becoming withdrawn and detached… my marriage has broken down.”
‘Very violent’
Another former pupil, referred to as A1, described a violent sexual assault by Ling when she was staying overnight at his home after a concert.
“It was very violent… I couldn’t breathe,” she told the inquiry.
She said Ling had spent months grooming her ahead of the initial assault.
The abuse occurred again on several occasions and she was one of the pupils Ling took with him to the US where she had a “horrible” time, she told the inquiry.
When she returned to the school a few months later, she was interviewed by police but, otherwise, pupils were told not to mention Ling.
“The silence just made it so much worse,” A1 told the inquiry.
She said the abuse left her “generally hostile and wary towards males” and believes the competitive culture within schools like Chetham’s can allow sexual predators to thrive.
Mr Vallins, head teacher of Chetham’s from 1974 to 1992, said he personally had no part in appointing Ling who was hired directly by the music department.
He said he was unaware of extra-curricular courses run by Ling.
He told the inquiry that at the time the school had no written child protection policies: “It was a different world then to the world we live in now. It would be wrong to think that Chetham’s, in not having those practices, was unusual.”
He added: “It would be idle of me to deny that it is evident from the subject of this inquiry that there were bad things happening which I did not know about, and I should have done, and I can’t say how bitterly I regret that.”
The inquiry heard that seven individuals have been either convicted, were likely to have been convicted if alive, or have admitted to sexual relationships with pupils while Mr Vallins was head teacher.
A former pupil, Ian Pace, told the inquiry the music department run by Michael Brewer, and the academic part of the school were completely separate.
“It was almost like two schools and the teachers didn’t really talk to each other either,” Mr Pace told the inquiry.
He said there should be an official regulatory body specifically for music education.
The evidence is part of the residential schools phase of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, one of 14 separate investigations it is holding.
Ling moved to the US in the 1990s where he ran a talent agency. He shot himself dead in 2015 after police arrived at his home to arrest him for extradition to the UK. Greater Manchester Police had been planning to charge him with 77 offences.
At Chetham’s, as at Sevenoaks, the Rev. Hullah turned a blind eye. –
The chief abuser, says Stuart Neilson, was a technology teacher called Gerd Sommerhoff, a minor celebrity who once presented science programmes on the BBC. Sommerhoff, described in his Wiki entry as a ‘pioneer of theoretical neuroscience’, went on to teach at Trinity College, Cambridge, and was awarded the OBE. He was the grandson of Elise Schumann, third child of Robert and Clara Schumann, and had been brought to England as a child in 1931. Sommerhoff died in April 2002. Stuart Neilson is concerned that his offences should not be forgotten.
He wonders if there are wider ramifications to the case.
Appointment of a new Director for Together for Sudan
Peter Hullah’s first teaching post over 30 years ago was at a pioneering girl’s school in Uganda and since then he has been Chaplain of the King’s School, Canterbury and Head of Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester.
He has also visited schools in Africa to learn at first hand what it is which makes a truly Hopeful School for its students and for the community it serves. Before moving to Northampton Academy, The Rt Rev Peter Hullah was Bishop of Ramsbury in the Diocese of Salisbury. He chaired the Salisbury Diocesan Link with the Episcopal Church of Sudan.

Friend of the royal family, Sir Simon Hornby – Brother of Prince Charles’ paedophile friend Charles Hornby
‘wealthy socialite’ Hornby, 35, a Lloyds’ Underwriter and younger brother of the Managing Director of W.H.Smith Sir Simon Hornby had been leading a double life
Sir Simon Hornby, his older brother had seven years previously married the Queen Mother’s racehorse trainer’s daughter, Sharon Cazalet, in a star studded wedding. The Queen Mother, Princess Margaret, Noel Coward, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are all on film walking into a tiny village church in Shipbourne in Kent for the occasion.[ii]At the Cazalet family home Fairlawnes in Kent, the Queen Mother had often been a guest, as well as the historian Elizabeth Longford (nee Harman) and her husband, Labour Peer, Lord Frank Longford[iii], Harriet Harman’s uncle who had self-funded and produced the 1972 PORN report
Raywood’s rooms were a half-way house, used for housing ‘fresh bunnies’ or ‘fresh young chickens’ (young runaway boys new to London) before being selected and passed on to more affluent and influential clients such as Charles Hornby.
What possibly mattered most to the Albany Trustees was that Hornby’s sister had married and divorcedthe Duke of Marlborough, and that Hornby as an old Etonian, ex-9th Lancers officer and amateur steeplechase jockey was very well connected, reported by the newspapers as hosting Prince Charles amongst his circle of dinner friends at Shipton Moyne, Tetbury, his Gloucestershire estate.

Greg visits Tunbridge Wells based charity Build Africa
Greg met Linda Edwards, the new Chief Executive of a national charity – Build Africa – which is located in Tunbridge Wells.
Build Africa is a development charity working in rural Africa which helps communities find long-term solutions to poverty through innovative education and livelihoods projects.
Guests at the Build Africa charity ball: Jackie Sindall of Build Africa, Simon Crack of Heathertons Solicitors, Peter Docwra of Ashtons, Rachel Goddard of Intandem Communications, Matthew Gath of Jorvik Homes and Karen Harrison of Ashton Lettings
BUSINESSES have helped to raise £15,000 towards building a new school in Africa.
Ashtons Estate Agents, Hethertons Solicitors, Yorvik Homes and Intandem Communications joined forces to raise money for Build Africa’s “build a school” programme in rural Kenya.
A black-tie charity dinner and sponsored walk of the Three Peaks of Yorkshire have already raised more than half the amount needed to fund the building of four new classrooms at a school at Kamunthiniin, which is attended by more than 300 children.
Rachel Goddard, managing director of Intandem Communications, said: “We’re thrilled with the support that we have had from the local business community and our friends and colleagues.”

When I worked in an all-girls schoola colleague suggested the 6th formers approach me for their psychometric gender test. ‘I think you may find the results surprising,’ she said. Sure enough, I came out more feminine than any of the female teachers in the school. It didn’t surprise me because I’ve lived inside myself all my life. I’ve also never believed in the absolute nature of any categories, including those of gender. Whilst many people born male may not identify with my degree of femininity, no-one is 100% male or female. I want to explain why that’s true for all of you too, and to ask you why it’s so threatening?
Dr Richard Hoskins (right) has been assisting Mardoche Yembi (left) after his experiences involving exorcism. Kristy Bamu, 15, was found dead in an East London high-rise in 2010
An inquest has opened into the death of a teenager who was electrocuted after climbing a 33,000-volt electricity pylon in Weston-super-Mare.
David Hoskins, 19, from Yatton, escaped from a psychiatric unit close to Weston General Hospital two years ago.
He was very popular at school but he started to change aged 17, when his behaviour became “increasingly bizarre and unexplained”.
In 2007 he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Mrs Hoskins said that due to deterioration in her son’s behaviour she had, in September 2008, asked him to leave home.
He moved into supported accommodation in Clevedon but, she added, that by March 2009 he had dropped out from college, insisted he was not bipolar and had also stopped taking his medication.
The inquest in North Somerset heard that cannabis was a factor in Mr Hoskins’ condition and that the teenager also confessed to mental health workers that he took cocaine, ecstasy and ketamine.
The Long Fox Unit from which Mr Hoskins escaped from is run by Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust.
Co-founders, Sam Conniff and Michelle Clothier, wanted to change lives.
They were two youth marketers, disillusioned with selling consumer goods to kids. When talking about the future of innovative business they inspired a shared vision in each other to harness the influence of big brands to tackle social challenges facing young people. From day one Livity opened the doors of its offices to young people to come and be involved in creating the work we deliver for clients.
For over a decade Livity has pioneered co-creation with young people in the formation of youth facing concepts, campaigns and communities and more recently has adapted, upgraded and deepened its methodology into what we now call Youth-Centred Design. We maintain competitive advantage through the deep youth insight and understanding this methodology gives us, and in return young people are provided with inspiration, skills, experience and access to employment and opportunity.
Sam Conniff and Michelle Clothier set up their youth marketing agency in 2001 with a social purpose. They didn’t just want Livity to help companies connect with young people. They also wanted to mentor some of the young people their clients were trying to reach.
2 December 2013
We exist to benefit the lives of young people but through a self-sustaining profit model.”
Or as Conniff puts it: “We give working-class kids middle-class opportunities.”
He cites a new campaign for the children’s charity NSPCC to combat teenage bullying through sexting — sending sexual messages and images by mobile phone. After discussing it in the office, it became clear the problem was “prolific”. Livity’s response was to create a free phone app, called Zipit, with the slogan “Get flirty chat back on track”.
Conniff, 37, and Clothier, 42, met when he was running a promotions business and she was a client. They raised £10,000 and borrowed £20,000, with a view that if Livity couldn’t find a client in a few months, they should give up. They won two: Genie Mobile (later part of O2) and Lambeth Council. “They’re still clients today,” says Clothier.
Livity has links to many local institutions.
The only setback came in 2004 when they were over-ambitious and had to make redundancies. They like having a mix of private- and public-sector clients, so when David Cameron’s coalition slashed marketing spend, Livity coped. Having a social purpose means sometimes turning down work such as an alcopop client.

2.35 – Tom Watson / PMQs / D-Notice / Leon Brittan / Harvey Proctor
[CHRIS] the one interesting thing above all else, when Tom Watson asked a question in the House of Commons recently, as you know
[BILL] Member of Parliament
[CHRIS] Member of Parliament, he also asked about the use of D-Notices. D-Notices are notices that they’re supposed to be advisory, but basically the government doesn’t like a story in the newspapers about to print, it’ll slap a D-Notice
[BILL] A D-Notice is a gagging order
[CHRIS] is a gagging order. Now when Mary Moss and I left the coroner’s court the entire world’s press was outside, obviously it was a very, very big story
[BILL] Absolutely
[CHRIS] Because we’d stood in the witness box, we’d named Leon Brittan we’d named Harvey Proctor, we’d told the inquest all the evidence we had about who’d been involved at the Elm Guest House, so by any stretch of the imagination it was big news story. When we got outside the coroner’s court there was, they were all there, BBC, ITV, Channel Four, Sky, you name it.
[BILL] Yeah
18.15 – Eric Kasir / Neil Kier / Carol Kasir
[CHRIS] I knew who to complain to, how the system worked. Now, when the police, because they thought, they knew that Carol Kasir’s son, Eric, was 10, was living there. They also suspected and their own words ‘that other children might be present’ they approached Richmond Services, told them about the raid. Now procedure dictates that normally you would have got, say, the local field social worker in the local office who would have come in with the police on the raid. Any children present, they would have taken, they would have taken them into care. However, on the day of the raid, the man from Kingston, err from Richmond Council, who, who was on the raid with the police was Neil Kier, the officer in charge of Grafton, who took Eric into care.
[BILL] That’s her son Eric?
[CHRIS] That’s her son Eric. So you can understand why Carol was so angry.
[BILL] So, so, she knew, she knew that all the kids were coming from this children’s home. Then what they done on the night of the raid was took her own child and put her own child in that children’s home.
[CHRIS] Not only that, but with the very guy who had been one of the people supplying the boys, so Carol knew full well what that meant.
Wiltshire Police’s Chief Constable Mike Veale, who is in charge of the Conifer inquiry
He makes ref to RRH and ‘ritual – and says it’s a small strand(c 8:14) & does NOT relate to Sir Edward Heath – plus ‘Nick’ (c 7:54) is not one of the claimants of abuse
Mike Veale, Chief Constable of Wiltshire Police, has today (Friday 2 December 2016) published an open letter video message in relation to the ongoing national investigation into allegations of non-recent child abuse made against Sir Edward Heath (Operation Conifer).
Published on Dec 2, 2016
Open letter from Chief Constable Mike Veale – Operation Conifer
Edward Heath child abuse investigation ‘not a witch-hunt’
Dr Rachel Hoskins, an expert on ritual sacrifice who has been asked by detectives to examine claims made against Heath and others as part of Operation Conifer, was highly critical of the investigation.
Veale confirmed that, as part of the investigation, a confidential report dealing with satanic ritual sexual abuse had been commissioned by Wiltshire police from a recognised expert registered with the National Crime Agency. But, he added: “Let me be clear, this part of the investigation is only one small element of the overall inquiry and does not relate to Sir Edward Heath.”
Wiltshire chief constable says significant number of people have disclosed claims of historical abuse against ex-prime minister
In an extraordinarily detailed public statement defending his officers’ involvement in Operation Conifer, Mike Veale said a significant number of individuals had disclosed allegations of abuse, but he declined to confirm numbers.
“This investigation is still live and, as such, the numbers will be subject to change,” Veale said.
The findings of the Sir Edward Heath sex abuse investigation may never be made public after the man leading the controversial inquiry said they would be contained in a confidential report.
“At the conclusion of the investigation a confidential closing report will be written...and at that time I will take advice as to what I can legally put in the public domain.”
If the findings are not made public what justification is there for spending the enormous amount of money on the investigation? Is the investigation justified? Of course, it is! Potential victims have made complaints of horrendous sexual abuse by ex-prime minister Edward Heath.
It is worth noting that so many of these investigations seem to proceed once the perpetrators are dead. Furthermore, as the police dig, they will have exposed other crimes by perverts at all levels of society. It seems that the Elite often get away completely while low-level abusers get nailed.
All police investigations should transparent and the findings released to the public.
If everyone at Westminster knew, why shouldn’t we?
Wiltshire Police 2014
Wiltshire Police were criticised for letting sex offenders go free
Police force that let rapists go free if they apologised to victims is investigated by watchdog over his (chief constable Patrick Geenty) force’s handling of sex abuse allegations
That complaint was in relation to the way a case of historic sexual abuse had been managed.
Investigation relates to complaints about sex abuse investigation in 2008/10
Patrick Geenty is the Chief Constable of Wiltshire Police. He has served in Wiltshire Police since July 2009, and has been temporary chief constable since March 2012
Geenty is under IPCC investigation for alleged mishandling of sexual abuse complaints. On 4 February 2015, Geenty announced his intention to retire in May. Five days later, on 9 February 2015, Geenty reversed this position and announced that he would remain in post until the IPCC investigation was completed. An IPCC spokesman expressed the view that Mr Geenty should not be allowed to retire until the investigation and any subsequent proceedings were completed. The Police Federation criticised the uncertainty and lack of leadership in the force, and called upon Mr Geenty to stand by his original announcement. [3]
Mike Veale grew up in Chilcompton and Midsomer Norton, Somerset
He began his policing career as a police cadet aged 16 before joining Avon and Somerset Constabulary as a constable in 1984.
Mike spent his early service in various roles within uniform and CID before becoming Chief Inspector Operations within inner city Bristol and later serving as Detective Chief Inspector in Somerset.
In January 2005 Mike was promoted to Detective Superintendent and transferred to Wiltshire Police. In the same year he was promoted to Detective Chief Superintendent as Head of CID.
He then led a programme to amalgamate HQ CID with the Force operations department to create a Protective Services Command.
In 2009 Mike was appointed Temporary Assistant Chief Constable for ten months. He then took up the post of divisional commander for the county of Wiltshire before going on to complete the strategic command course in 2011.
In March 2013, Mike became Deputy Chief Constable. Since then he has been responsible for the Force’s transformation programme and integrating vital services with those of our council partners.
Mike took up post of Chief Constable on 1 June 2015.
I loved charities until I moved to Africa. Professional goodness is a front. A beard for c***s from Jimmy Savile to Kenneth Banya, a paeophile child kidnapper formerly Joseph Kony’s chief strategist, paid by the World Bank to look after the kids he’d kidnapped after they escaped from him. The charities knew; I’ve got a report from December 2005, Banya kept going until a local journalist nailed him. You cannot make it up. Another charity, this time for Kenyan street kids, the Gilgil trust has seen it’s founder using the charity as a cover for his alleged child sex crimes[3]. I see these people all the time where I live in Africa. Sleazy middle-aged white “saviours” who came for one thing – to bum kids. The local bar had to put a sign up explaining what constituted paedophilia, there’s that much about.
Simon Harris’ The Gilgil Trust – most info has been wiped – archived pages just show up as blank
Has GilGil Trust morphed into one of the very many other charity orgs that are in GilGil?- there seem to be a whole lot of ‘do-gooders’ focussing there.
Let’s not forget Simon Wood – he also homed into Kenya
Harris had abused before. He admitted indecently assaulting three boys while working as a Latin teacher at the private Shebbear College in Devon in the late 1980s. But despite an investigation by the school and police, the boys’ families did not want to pursue criminal charges at the time.
Police believe Harris first travelled to Gilgil soon after, with the sole intention of continuing his interest in young boys.
His abuse might have stopped in 2009, when he was jailed in the UK for possessing indecent images of children. But a travel ban imposed on him was overturned by a court after Harris produced documents from agencies in Kenya saying they could manage his risk. Police believe those documents were forgeries.
He was stopped only by an unprecedented cross-border investigation, and a little-used law allowing British suspects to be tried in the UK for offences committed abroad.
The so-called Happy Valley set was a group of hedonistic, largely British and Anglo-Irisharistocrats and adventurers who settled in the “Happy Valley” region of the Wanjohi Valley,[1] near the Aberdare mountain range, in colonial Kenya and Uganda between the 1920s and the 1940s. In the 1930s, the group became infamous for its decadent lifestyles and exploits, following reports of drug use and sexual promiscuity.[2]
The area around Naivasha was one of the first to be settled in Kenya by white people and was one of the main hunting grounds of the ‘set’. [3] The colonial town of Nyeri, Kenya, to the east of the Aberdare Range, was the centre of Happy Valley settlers. [4]
A small cottage on the hotel grounds was the final home of Lord Baden-Powell and his wife, founder of the scouting movement, and he is buried outside Nyeri. The cottage has a small museum dedicated to Baden-Powell’s life and memory.[4]
Some of the notable members of the Happy Valley set were:
Others included Gilbert Colvile, Hugh Dickenson, Jack and Nina Soames, Lady June Carberry (stepmother of Juanita Carberry), Dickie Pembroke, and Julian Lezzard. Author Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen) was a friend of members of the group, and writer and pilot Beryl Markham frequently associated with the Happy Valley set.
The colonial lifestyle finally became untenable as the Mau Mau Uprising progressed during the 1950s.
In recent years, descendants of the Happy Valley set have been appearing in the news, particularly the legal troubles of Tom Cholmondeley, the great-grandson of Lord Delamere.
They turn to the occult for some meaning for their lives – and the ensuing perverted behaviour blights the lives of 1000’s, if not millions of unconnected individuals.
History repeats itself over the millennia – until the rotten core eradicates itself. (which I feel is what is happening as we watch the domino’s fall [and that’s not a reference to Domino’s pizza – tho it could be….])
MI5 chiefs feared Hitler Youth members who met youngsters at a Colwyn Bay private school were secretly Nazi spies.
In 1937, two years before the second global war broke out, youngsters from the youth arm of Adolf Hitler’s poisonous regime swapped their black caps with pupils at the Rydal School in Colwyn Bay.
But declassified documents by MI5, the UK’s security service, released by the National Archives showed they were suspected of being infiltrators as they cycled their way across the country, receiving warm welcomes wherever they went.
At the time the Colwyn Bay and North Wales Weekly News reported one Rydal boy describing the visitors as “a jolly good crowd of chaps”.
It was also reported: “It is hoped a visit will be paid to Germany by Rydal boys next year.”
However documents showed intelligence chiefs had serious concerns about the Hitler Youth movement and whether it had sinister motives.
The Security Service became so concerned about the danger posed by “spyclists” it ordered police to report whenever a group of touring German cyclists arrived in the UK.
Sheffield police, noted several cameras were carried by a group of Berlin schoolboys and teachers who visited a power station and steelworks in the key industrial city.
In October 1944 a British intelligence assessment also warned the Hitler Youth could not be compared to Scouts or Girl Guides and instead embodied a deathly doctrine.
Later the Rydal school underwent a series of amalgamations to become Rydal Penrhos.
The papers also revealed Scout movement founder Lord Baden-Powell was invited to meet Adolf Hitler.
The scout leader Baden-Powell even held a friendly meeting with a leader of the Hitler Youth, at a time British security chiefs were investigating fears the groups were using their UK cycling holidays as a cover for espionage.
They showed Joachim von Ribbentrop, who was German ambassador to London at the time and became Hitler’s foreign minister the next year, invited Baden-Powell to tea on November 19, 1937.
Baden-Powell described von Ribbentrop as an earnest and charming man, noting he knew his uncle from his time in India.
Following World War II, famous ex-Rydal Penrhos pupils have included former Plaid Cymru leader Dafydd Wigley, actor William Roache – Coronation Street’s Ken Barlow – and film producer Duncan Kenworthy, who produced Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Baden Powell went on to become increasingly sympathetic to Hitler, writing in his diary of 1939: “Lay up all day. Read Mein Kampf.
“A wonderful book, with good ideas on education, health, propaganda, organisation etc.”
Details of the meeting held two years before the outbreak of the Second World War, come from a memo written by Baden Powell and included in the MI5 file.
In the document, released to the National Archives, Lord Baden Powell told the Scouts’ International Commissioner, Hubert Martin, that the Germans were “most anxious that the Scouts should come into closer touch with the youth movement in Germany.”
MI5 reports of the visit of Hartman Lauterbacher, Chief of Staff Hitler Youth, to Britain, showed that as well as meeting Baden Powell, he had also visited Eton College and the Army Gymnastic School at Aldershot, adding; “He seemed properly impressed by both
He visited Italy in 1933 and wrote admiringly about the “boy-man” Benito Mussolini who had absorbed his country’s Boy Scouts into a thriving new nationalist youth movement.
“The Henriques review was commissioned to look in to the Metropolitan Police’s handling of Operation Midland and other investigations concerning persons of public prominence within the Metropolitan Police area. Accordingly the review was not focused on Operation Conifer.
“Wiltshire Police is the national lead in relation to Operation Conifer. The purpose of Operation Conifer is to investigate allegations of child abuse made against the former Prime Minister Sir Edward (Ted) Heath. In addition, the investigation aims to safeguard children and vulnerable adults who may be at risk of abuse today and, where relevant, bring living offenders to justice.
“The operation commenced in August 2015, following an IPCC press release naming Sir Edward Heath as a suspect in an investigation into non-recent child sex abuse.
“Operation Conifer is investigating a number of separate allegations made by persons who have come forward. Two arrests have taken place in relation to Operation Conifer and, at this time, both remain on police bail. Due to the fact that this remains a live investigation it would not be appropriate for us to comment any further at this stage.
“A panel of independent experts outside of policing are providing ongoing scrutiny of the investigation to ensure its proportionality and justification. Furthermore, in line with recognised best practice, Wiltshire Police recently commissioned Operation Hydrant to undertake an independent review of the investigation to ensure its ongoing proportionality and justification.
“Further to the release of the Henriques review Wiltshire Police, in conjunction with the College of Policing and the National Police Chiefs Council, will consider where relevant any national guidance and policy recommendations that may impact upon the ongoing Operation Conifer investigation.”
…will attract the usual crop of fantasists, revenge-seekers and money-chasers.
“I have been snapped with everyone from the innocent Basil Brush to Cynthia Payne (the madam) whom I met at a charity event and cold-blooded murderers whom I encountered on prison visits, where press and media were rightly present.”
…Dominatrix Cynthia Payne came up to her and asked if she was “a friend of Dot”.
Thinking this was a reference to an obscure acquaintance, Ann replied “Of course,” to which Payne said enigmatically, “I thought you were.”
Ann had not realised that “a friend of Dorothy” was code for a lesbian. Later she makes clear that, despite some rumours from gay rights campaigners, she has never had lesbian instincts.
Her only serious romance, as she recounts, was with a male student at Oxford. As she argues convincingly there has been nothing remotely sad or lonely about her single existence.
Heath made a special point of conducting orchestras involving young musicians. While still prime minister, he conducted the Academy of the BBC at the 50th anniversary concert in the series for children founded by Sir Robert Mayer. Later, it was through Heath’s help that the European Community Youth Orchestra was set up. He became its president, and conducted it on summer tours in 1978, 1979 and 1980.
A vanished file and troubling claims about Heath and young musicians
The ensemble in question was the European Community Youth Orchestra, and it was about to embark on its inaugural tour of EEC capitals. It was to be a flagship for pan-European cultural co-operation.
The 135 musicians, some of whom were as young as 14, were drawn from the then nine member nations. Heath, an enthusiastic amateur musician who had led the United Kingdom into the European Community five years before, was the orchestra’s founding president. He would also be its guest conductor for that tour and several tours to come.
In an intriguing development, the Mail learned this week that a file relating to Sir Edward and the infamous Paedophile Information Exchange group is one of those missing from official Government records.
It is among 114 missing files concerning child abuse identified by an independent review of how allegations were handled by the Home Office.
The title of the missing document, ‘Edward Heath MP [redacted] RE: PIE’, refers to the activities of the Paedophile Information Exchange.
Investigators discovered that the file disappeared more than 25 years ago after being moved to a Westminster record centre. They concluded that there was no evidence of any orchestrated attempts by officials over three decades to cover up child abuse.
But the unexpected absence of the file raises questions about the exact nature of the connection between Heath and the PIE group.
Further new allegations of sexual abuse and possible official cover-up concerning Sir Edward have come to light. They centre on his relationship with the European Community Youth Orchestra.
A retired senior police officer, who served with several southern forces including Wiltshire, told the Mail that there were ‘always rumours’ about Heath, the former MP for Bexley.
The policeman — a widely respected officer with a distinguished career — asked that due to the sensitivities of the Heath investigations, he remain anonymous. He told us that the rumours did not come with any specific evidence against the former PM.
But he went on: ‘The exception were several allegations made against him in his role with the European Youth Orchestra. I understand there were credible claims that Heath indecently assaulted young people on tours to the Continent which he was leading.
‘These tours took place in the late 1970s or early 1980s.
‘It was never clear how old the victims were, or exactly what happened, and what was alleged was not at the top end of the scale of criminality.
‘Why these were never investigated I cannot say. I suspect it is because they took place overseas and the victims were from other countries.’
Ted Heath would have known Dara De Cogan through the European Community Youth Orchestra.
And Heath links to another Ampleforth paedophile – Piers Grant-Ferris – his father Lord Harvington was good friends with Heath and Thatcher.
Music professor at Ampleforth School in court on sex offence charges
A LEADING Roman Catholic school has been rocked by abuse allegations after a music professor appeared in court accused of sex offences against a girl more than 30 years his junior.
Irish-born classical musician and composer Dara De Cogan, 57, was appointed performing arts professor at Ampleforth College, North Yorkshire, in 2004.
The gifted violinist is charged with 12 counts of sexual activity with a child while in a position of trust.
The court heard the victim was a girl aged 16 and 17 at the time of the alleged offences between December 2007 and December 2009.
Dublin-born De Cogan, became leader of the Irish Youth Orchestra in 1978 and represented his country in the European Community Youth Orchestra.
In 1982, he joined the Hallé Orchestra and has played in folk music ensembles and has worked widely in the recording industry.
His court appearance came just weeks after it was confirmed Ampleforth is to be included in one of three public hearings carried out in the national child sexual abuse inquiry. link
Ampleforth
Monk ‘who ran sex club involving young boys’ at country’s top Catholic School ‘remained in his job for eight years after allegations were first made’
Apr 5 2017
Father Jeremy Sierla allegedly ran ‘sex club’ for boys at Ampleforth College
He remained at Catholic school for eight years after allegations first made
Police told he would make pupils perform sex acts in their pyjamas
Investigation began in 2004 but no charges were ever brought against him
Detectives spoke to more than a dozen young men who attended the school’s Junior House between 1990 and 1993 when Father Jeremy was housemaster.
Some recalled the monk whipping boys’ bottoms with his habit, encouraging the pupils to tie him up, showering naked with them and putting his hands under their duvets, the Times reported.
Photos and video clips – none indecent – of Ampleforth pupils were found on Father Jeremy’s computer, including one of a 12-year-old boy holding a rose in his mouth.
Father Sierla, 59, lived and worked at £30,000-a-year college, pictured, until 2012, despite accusations first being made against him eight years previously
The investigation was triggered when the same boy, in his early 20s by 2004, made allegations to police about abuse he claimed Father Jeremy had subjected him to.
The monk was not charged after prosecutors ruled there was insufficient evidence against him, and the CPS said the case file was destroyed years ago, the Times reported.
Father Jeremy continued to work in the abbey shop from 2004 to 2012 and posed for photographs to promote Ampleforth’s own brand Abbey Beer.
A music teacher, Dara de Cogan, who joined Ampleforth in 2004 was jailed last week for sexually abusing a female student during violin lessons.
Dara de Cogan, 58, received a 28-month sentence and will be on the sex offenders register for a decade.
A school spokesman said that Father Jeremy’s continued presence at Ampleforth was approved at a meeting of safeguarding professionals in 2004 and that his case was reviewed again in 2007 by an independent safeguarding commission.
It took a further five years before the Department for Education (DfE) told Ampleforth he should not be allowed on school grounds.
TheDfE said that it was unable to discuss individual cases but stressed it was ‘paramount that children are protected at school and that there are robust safeguards in place’.
It added: ‘Where schools fail to meet standards, we will not hesitate to take action.’
Ampleforth Abbey in North Yorkshire is accused of being a “honeypot” for offenders
Forty monks and teachers have been accused of sexually abusing boys at a leading Roman Catholic school that allegedly became a “honeypot” for offenders, it was revealed yesterday.
Reports of child sex offences at Ampleforth College in North Yorkshire were disclosed yesterday at a public hearing of an inquiry into the handling of abuse allegations by the Catholic church.
As a case study, the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse (IICSA) is examining safeguarding policies at two fee-paying boarding schools run by the English Benedictine Congregation — Ampleforth, and Downside in Somerset. Riel Karmy-Jones, QC, counsel to the inquiry, said that it would consider the prevalence of child abuse within the Catholic church and the extent to which Catholic culture “has or does inhibit the proper investigation and prevention” of such crimes.
Since 1996 three monks and two lay teachers at Ampleforth have been convicted of sex offences against pupils, but Ms Karmy-Jones said that the inquiry had been notified of multiple allegations against about 40 monks and teachers.
In an opening statement on behalf of 29 abuse survivors Richard Scorer, a specialist abuse lawyer at Slater and Gordon, the law firm, said that the “temptation to cover up” such crimes was “particularly acute in institutions associated with the Roman Catholic Church”. He said: “Where reputation is key to an organisation’s existence, there is likely to be an almost overwhelming desire to find some way of avoiding the bad publicity associated with child sex abuse.” Shared awareness among child abusers that their misconduct would be covered up, or dealt with in-house, explained why “some institutions become honeypots where multiple offenders operate”.
Mr Scorer urged the inquiry to consider recommending a change in the law to make failure to report abuse a criminal offence.
On behalf of 14 victims and survivors, David Enright said that it was “very difficult to explain” to a non-Catholic “the power and depth of influence the Catholic church exerts over its members. The abusers were not only men in positions of trust; they were seen by the abused, and their families, as spokesmen for the God they worship. It is hard to imagine a greater hold that a child abuser could have over his victim.”
Matthias Kelly, QC, counsel for Ampleforth, said that the school and the abbey wanted “to apologise for the hurt, injury, distress and damage done to those who were abused as a result of our failings”. He said that the school’s policy today was one of “full, transparent and immediate co-operation with the statutory agencies”.
For Downside and the English Benedictine Congregation, Kate Gallafent, QC, said that the Catholic church was committed to giving the inquiry “its full co-operation. The congregation expresses profound shame that any child has been the victim of sexual abuse whilst in the care of the schools connected with its abbeys.”
Piers Grant-Ferris – His secret past as a serial abuser of young boys at Ampleforth. He was an officer in the Irish Guards before becoming a novice monk in the Benedictine Order in 1955.
His late father, Lord harvington, the former Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons during Ted Heath’s Government and member of a prominent English Roman Catholic family – retired to Jersey
Life in Jersey revolved around hunting, golf, motor yachting, and farming. Lord Harvington was also a noted breeder of pedigree sheep and former president of the National Sheep Breeders Association. Edward Heath, Margaret Thatcher and her husband were among the guests on his yacht.
He served at Our Lady and St Michael’s Church in Workington, Cumbria, between 1978 and 1989, when he was chaplain to St Joseph’s RC School, before returning to Ampleforth Abbey where he was much sought-after to lead retreats. link
Sir Robert Grant-Ferris, Baron Harvington (1907-1997)
Although he appeared to be fairly typical of the Conservative knights of the shire, a landowner and sheep breeder, who was noted for his passion for hunting and whose other principal recreation was yachting, Robert Grant-Ferris was a product of Douai rather than Eton, and he had the unusual distinction of owing his knighthood and later his Barony to the Labour Prime Minister, Harold Wilson. Although he remained a Conservative, he had come to be more a servant of the House of Commons than his party, and he spent his last four years in the House fittingly enough as Chairman of Ways and Means and Deputy Speaker. A man of considerable charm and great energy, he was well-liked in the House and thought of as a possible successor when Dr Horace King retired. However, Selwyn Lloyd was the preferred candidate of the Conservative Party.
Robert Grant Ferris was born on 30 December 1907, the son of a General Practitioner, Dr Robert Francis Ferris, but he seems to have been brought up by his widowed mother, Ellen (d.1955) at Falcon Hill, Cotteridge. Her sister had bought the property in 1892 and Mrs Ferris moved in with her. Robert could often be seen as a child riding his pony in the grounds. The family were strong Roman Catholics and Mrs Ferris seems to have bought Harvington Hall for the Birmingham diocese in 1923. Robert was educated at Douai, the independent school run by the Benedictine monks of Douai Abbey at Woolhampton. Early in life he hyphenated his name, adding an additional Grant to it. He made his early career in a firm of estate agents with whom his family had connections, but his eyes seem to have been firmly fixed elsewhere, on politics – he was elected to the Birmingham City Council in 1933 – and on flying. He joined 605 (County of Warwick) Auxiliary Air Force Squadron in 1933, and by the time the war came was a Flight Lieutenant. He began taking his bar examinations in 1932 and was called to the Bar at the Inner Temple in 1937.
He continued to live with his mother until 1930 when he married Florence Brennan de Vine, daughter of Major Brennan de Vine MC, who died in 1996. They had two children, a son, Piers, who became a monk and taught at Ampleforth, and a daughter, Sheila, with whom he later lived in Jersey. It was fortunate that neither parent lived to see their son identified and tried for the abuse of pupils in his care.
In the 1935 General Election he fought Wigan as a Conservative but lost heavily. Less than two years later, in February 1937, he fought St Pancras North in a by-election and won narrowly. Apart from his staunch support for General Franco in the Spanish Civil War. Grant-Ferris had little impact on the Commons in the late 30s, arguably because he was concentrating on becoming a front-line airman. By 1939 he commanded one of the flights in his squadron and in 1941 was promoted to Wing Commander. During the war he saw active service in France, Malta, Egypt and India.
Towards the end of the war he gave up active service for a return to more active participation in the House of Commons and became PPS to W.S.Morrison, the Minister of Town and Country Planning 1944-45. However, he was swept out of the Commons in the Labour landslide of 1945 by 7,630 votes and did not continue as the Conservative candidate for St Pancras North. Instead he concentrated on his farm and on his directorship of the publishing company, Burns, Oates and Washburne. He became deputy chairman on the Board of the Roman Catholic weekly, The Tablet, a role that he relinquished only in November 1997.
Although a by-election was called in St Pancras North in 1949, Grant-Ferris was not called upon to fight it, and his next attempt at Parliament was in Central Wandsworth, a seat that he failed to take in both the 1950 and 1951 General Elections.
Nantwich, which he won in the 1955 General Election gave him a safe berth until he chose to stand down just before the February 1974 election. In 1962 he became one of the panel of Chairman, who chair standing committees in the Commons. He was well known for his fairness and amiability, and there were many who thought that he would make an excellent Speaker. In 1970 he was appointed deputy Speaker and Chairman of Ways and Means. He had been knighted in 1969 and he was sworn of the Privy Council in 1971. Although not included in Heath’s dissolution honours, he was one of fifteen life peers nominated by Harold Wilson in the summer of 1974 and the only one with no Labour affiliation. He took his title from the house that his mother had given to the Archdiocese of Birmingham.
He always took a considerable interest in Britain’s inland waterways and was one of the Inland Waterways Association’s most influential allies in the House of Commons. He was elected a Vice-President in 1966 and was chairman of the original All-party Waterways Committee.
As privy chamberlain of the sword and cape to Pope Pius XII, Pope John XXIII and Paul VI, Grant-Ferris spent a week each year in attendance on the Pontiff. His strong opposition to abortion was thought to emanate from the Vatican rather than the Catholic hierarchy in this country. He became a Knight Grand Cross of Magistral Grace 1949 and of the Sovereign and Military Order of Malta in 1953.
He was the chairman of the Board of Management of the Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth in St John’s Wood 1963-70.
Grant-Ferris was a notable breeder of sheep, serving as President of the Southdown Sheep Society of England on three occasions (1950-52, 1959-60, 1973) and presiding over the National Sheep Breeders of Britain 1956-58. He became a Vice President of the Smithfield Club in 1963 and President in 1970.
He was a man with many interests, keen on both hunting and golf, but his main passion was his motor yacht, the 43 ton Melita. He entertained both Edward Heath and the Thatchers aboard her but his plans for a summer cruise with the Thatchers around northern France a year before the couple entered Downing Street had to be cancelled when the French police said they could not guarantee the party’s security. He was a member of the Royal Yacht Squadron and of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, and for a time Honorary Admiral of the House of Commons Yacht Club. He was also a member of the Royal and Ancient at St Andrews, the MCC and, of course, the Carlton Club.
After his retirement from the House he lived abroad for tax reasons, initially in Malta and then in Jersey, although he would contribute to debates in the Lords when the taxman let him return. In 1980, he was one of those who rebelled over the school transport clauses of Mark Carlisle’s Education Bill, which would have imposed charges on the ‘free’ transport enjoyed by students at faith schools.
Top public school suspends child sex charges teacher
3 Mar 2017
THE head of music at a prestigious private school has been suspended following allegations he sexually assaulted a pupil three decades ago.
Sean Ambrose Farrell, 49, denied two charges of indecent assault and two charges of gross indecency when he appeared before York magistrates last week.
All four offences are alleged to have been committed against a child aged under 14 at the time at Ampleforth College’s junior school.
Farrell, of Riddings Road, Ilkley, was released on bail on condition that he has no unsupervised contact with children aged under 16.
He has been removed from his post at Wellington College, in Berkshire – which counts the late actor Sir Christopher Lee and Will Young among its alumni – several months ago after North Yorkshire Police launched an investigation.
A Wellington College spokesman said: “In line with our safeguarding procedures, Wellington suspended the member of staff concerned and excluded him from the school site as soon as it was made aware that the police were investigating these accusations.”
Its famous former pupils include Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes
His ex-wife applied for a gagging order to prevent his workplace and job being named when Farrell appeared at York Magistrates Court last week.
However, after it was challenged, the order was lifted, according to The Times
The charge comes after other teachers at Ampleforth College were accused of sexually assaulting pupils.
Music teacher Dara De Cogan, 58, was recently charged with 12 counts of sexual activity with a child while in a position of trust. The offences were said to have taken place between December 2007 and December 2009.
He pleaded guilty to 10 of the charges and not guilty to two of them.
Cuthbert Madden, 61, the Abbot of Ampleforth College, stepped down from his duties in September last year after it was announced police were investigating claims of historical sexual abuse allegations against him, which were said to have taken place in the 1990s at the school.
He denied any wrongdoing and no further action was taken.
In December, the Charity Commission launched an inquiry into how the school has handled allegations of child sexual abuse.
moral panic…such a disgusting put down that term…labeling concern for the lives of children as “panic”…
