It's For Charity

[poliphilo]

Stuart Hall's son says he should keep his OBE because of his charity work.

Yes, says Ailz, but he used his charity work as a cover- just as Savile did. It made him look good and it gave him access to potential victims.

My father-in-law was a Mason. If you challenged him about Masonic skullduggery he'd say, "Yes, but the Masons do a lot for charity."

As Dr Johnson almost said- and might have said if he were around today, "Charity is the last refuge of a scoundrel."

The Masons used to wield a great deal of influence behind the scenes. If you wanted to "get on" in business or the police or local government it was advisable to become a member. There was a lot of corruption. These days that power has dwindled and what's left (in these parts anyway) is a network of supper clubs for very old men.
