Nonces Not Quite so Anonymous

The Mail has spoken to a senior police officer (retired) who says the order to let Cyril Smith run free came from the very top. Well, of course it did.

Now Leon Brittan is dead- and beyond having his collar felt- the log-jam is beginning to break up.

I don't suppose there's much to be told that hasn't already appeared in Private Eye and on the net but it would be nice to have it all be part of the public record. The victims deserve to be believed, the public deserves to know the truth about its governors.

And whether anyone thinks they are so above the law that they're still up to this stuff.

As an abuse survivor myself, I hope to god they don't attempt to cover up yet again.

A lot of people in high places still stand to have their reputations besmirched by association if Brittan turns out to be have been what we think he was.

I'm wondering what this 'workplace incident' involving yet another UKIP hopeful was yesterday?

At this rate, Farage is going to have no candidates left come May!

I missed that.

UKIP is like that waggon in the old Christy Minstrels song. Wheels keep falling off but it's still rolling along...

Leon Brittan was one of the worst of them, allegedly, but there are others. And then there are the cover-uppers. Certain grandees may be retiring from the Commons this time because their efforts to pack the guilty Brittan off to Europe on the QT are becoming known.

I don't suppose there was anyone in parliament who didn't know about Brittan and Smith.

Sack the lot of them!
