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.

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

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

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.

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.
