Re Rolf Harris

[poliphilo]

Don't give sentimentalists the benefit of the doubt. They're always evading or covering up some truth.

That is an interesting maxim which I will test.

I see that items which passed across the desk of Leon Brittan are in the news today, BTW.

There's a major child abuse scandal hanging over the political elite and they're doing all they can to stop it from breaking...

It goes further than just the political elite. And today there's a nice MP making a fuss about it and wondering what happened to that dossier that went missing. If it was written in 1995, surely it will be on a floppy disc somewhere? I really hope so. But it will only take those abused boys to step forward again and I suppose it could be reconstructed.

According to the papers there were two copies of the Dickens dossier- the one that Leon Brittan managed to mislay and another that Dickens's widow says she destroyed.

I Suppose that with Rolf Harris sentiments and memories abound (even the ghastly stylophone :o) which makes the betrayal all the worse.

Savile was a huge presence in the entertainment industry but I don't think anyone actually liked him. Rolf, on the other hand, was loved and trusted.
