Very Important Paedophiles

[poliphilo]

Child abuse isn't that terrible really,

Well it can't be, can it?

Here's Ian Watkins the lead singer of the Lost Prophets and he's been abusing children for ages and several people told the police over a period of time and the police did nothing about it.

And again, here's Nick Clegg's old headmaster and he's been abusing children for years too and the prosecutor decided that it wouldn't "be fair" to proceed with the case.

Two more VIPs to add to the long list of monsignors, politicians and cabinet ministers whom the relevant authorities have been in no hurry to discipline or prosecute.

Which is reasonable enough. You've got to have a sense of perspective in these matters. We're talking about people of worth and substance- a rock star, an educator; people who give back to the community. It would be a shame to discommode them over such a relatively trivial matter.

I think Savile was pretty much his own procurer. And I'm hearing he may have procured for others. There's a rumour that he used to deliver boys to Edward Heath. I have no idea whether this is true or not.

I follow John Ward at the Slog. He makes the same point- that most abuse goes on in the home- and people like Savile are the exception. He also reckons, for what it's worth, that the extent of Savile's predation is being exaggerated.
