The McAlpine Effect

poliphiloType "Tory paedos" or "Tory child abusers" into Google and nothing comes up that's more recent than November. This is down to the McAlpine effect. He's scared the media away. Lord M may be innocent (he must be; he's told us so) but there are a number of highly placed chaps who aren't and who are currently sheltering behind him and his litigiousness. This is one reason (perhaps the main one) why I want to see his business gone over properly in a court of law.
P.S. Yes, I know the Tories don't have a monopoly on child abuse. It's just that they were the ones in the frame when the McAlpine boot came thundering down. For the record the number of Labour activists, advisers and councillors who have been convicted of paedophile offences is absolutely staggering. The Lib Dems, of course, are the party of the late Cyril Smith...

The cellar of de Rais' manor was full of the bodies of children and parts of the bodies of children. There was simply too much evidence to save even an aristo on this occasion.
