Default More hospitals to face probes over Savile scandal

More hospitals are to be investigated as part of a probe into the sex abuse scandal surrounding disgraced former TV host Jimmy Savile, A British official says.


In a written statement to the UK’s Parliament on Friday, Britain’s Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt says announced that the inquiry into possible criminal activity by Savile will be carried out at 19 further National Health Service (NHS) hospital trusts.

The announcement brings the total number of NHS institutions to be investigated in relation to the sexual abuse allegations by the BBC’s former presenter to 32.

The British health secretary also said the results of the inquiry will be delivered by June 2014.

“The Metropolitan Police Service has completed its document review and transferred various material concerning Jimmy Savile and the NHS to the Department of Health,” Hunt stated.


Savile died in 2011 and following his death, hundreds of allegations of sex abuse and rape of minors became public.

Earlier in January, in a 37-page report by the police and the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC), Savile was branded as one of the UK’s most prolific known sexual predators, who used his celebrity status to “hide in plain sight.”

According to the report, titled “Giving Victims a Voice,” some 214 crimes, including 34 of rape during 54 years of abuse committed by the ex-presenter, were recorded across 28 police force areas.

They have known about janner for donkeys years.
The sex case got a standing ovation in parliament for talking about it.
The guy that exposed him was fitted up as a sex case and bumped off just before his appeal hearing.

Default Female MP involved in paedophile govenment network allegations

Quote:
A FORMER female MP was involved in a paedophile network at the heart of government, police have been told.


She is alleged to have forced a boy in care to perform a “vile” sex act at one of a series of drug-fuelled parties in Westminster in the Eighties where boys and girls as young as 13 were allegedly abused.

Last night her alleged victim told the Sunday Express: “I want justice.”

Andrew Ash, now 45, said he has given Scotland Yard the name of the former MP. We cannot name her for legal reasons.

Mr Ash claims he was frequently ferried down to London from the North of England, where he was in care, to take part in sex parties.

He says they were organised by a paedophile ring involving David Smith, Jimmy Savile’s former chauffeur who killed himself last year before he was due to stand trial for sex offences.

He said: “It wasn’t just politicians, there were also a number of celebrities, including Jimmy Savile, who seemed to have a lot of good links to MPs and powerful businessmen.

“There was usually drugs like cocaine and speed available as well as bottles of champagne.”

Of his encounter with the female MP, he said: “She was extremely drunk and was laughing as she did it.

“I didn’t really know what was going on but the others around her were goading her on.

“I must have been about 13 years old at the time and felt humiliated.” We can also reveal that security services have been working closely with Yard detectives because of the highly sensitive nature of the allegations.

The Sunday Express understands police seized video footage and photographs of an alleged sex party from a well-known paedophile last year.

Mr Ash claims officers have footage which shows a senior male MP in the same frame as him, although no abuse takes place on camera. He said he is speaking out now because he is frustrated by the lack of action after being interviewed for 70 hours by the Met Police’s Paedophile Unit.

He says he was abused by the male MP on another occasion too. He said: “I remember being filmed with this MP, who was abusing me in a garage of a very prominent building behind a Rolls-Royce.


I was filmed being abused in a garage behind a Rolls Royce

Andrew Ash

“Another politician turned up with a video camera but the man abusing me just smirked and joked, ‘OK, OK, I’ll vote any way you want’ as if he was being blackmailed. What I want to know is why they haven’t arrested him yet if they have this evidence.

“All I want is justice and for the truth to come out because these people have been protected for far too long.”

Mr Ash said two Met officers called at his home in Yorkshire last May.

Interviews were conducted mainly at a safe house in Bridlington, East Yorkshire, but also in London. “The interviews were usually carried out in blocks of three, normally every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

“On at least two occasions there were two other officers present that I didn’t recognise. They didn’t ask me a thing, they just scribbled notes.

“I asked who they were but all I was told was that they were from ‘upstairs’. It was clear from the tone that they were intelligence officers.

“They had obviously been made aware of the high-profile names and the sensitive information I had given police.”

Dutch intelligence officers attended at least one interview because Andrew told of being trafficked to Amsterdam on a number of occasions to be abused by a group of paedophiles including convicted child killer Sidney Cooke.

He claims Cooke, now 84, made him film the paedophile abusing another young boy on video. It is feared Cooke may have abused and killed young boys in the Netherlands.

Mr Ash also told police he was abused by a big-name celebrity.

He said: “This particular person was able to get youngsters into glitzy nightclubs in the West End. After one evening he invited me and a young girl back to his house where he made us have sex before joining in.”

Mr Ash is being helped by anti-abuse campaigners Bill Maloney and Chris Fay.

Mr Fay said: “The police have spent a good deal of time with him, listening to his evidence, and now potentially have compelling information that Andrew was at one of these parties with at least one prominent former MP.

“He hopes by speaking out, other victims may come forward.”

Lots of news headlines due just in time to make people forget about the female MP allegations....

Quote:



Coronation Street star William Roache will go on trial today accused of committing historic sexual offences against five girls.

The 81-year-old veteran soap star was arrested at his home in Wilmslow, Cheshire, last May and later charged with two counts of raping a 15-year-old girl in Rossendale in 1967.

A month later he was additionally charged with five indecent assaults involving four girls aged between 11 or 12 and 16, allegedly committed in the Manchester area between 1965 and 1968.

When charged with rape, Roache - who plays Ken Barlow in the ITV show - issued a statement in which he said he was "astounded and deeply horrified" by the accusations.

This article is a year old but worth reading.

Tory MP warned of powerful paedophile ring 30 years ago
New evidence supports claim former backbencher’s life was threatened


Quote:
New evidence suggests that Dickens stumbled upon an Establishment paedophile ring in the early 1980s – and that his efforts to expose a cover-up left him in fear of his life. Dickens told fellow MPs that after warning of the existence of the network, he had received threatening phone calls and been burgled twice. He also claimed he had been placed on a “hit-list”, he told the House of Commons in a little-noticed speech.

Quote:
In a blog on his website, the Labour MP Tom Watson – whose claims of a powerful paedophile network prompted the new inquiry – said that he had been advised by childcare experts who have tried to expose the scandal to be careful about his personal security.

Jimmy Savile and Peter Morrison.

Also, arguably, Alan Clark. Max Clifford revealed that when he first started shagging the Harkness sisters they were underage. There is no suggestion that the relationships were anything other than consensual - but for legal purposes, that doesn't matter a great deal.

In late 2012, 'The Independent' posted this article online:

'Max Clifford denies covering up Alan Clark's underage sex scandal'


"The former government minister Alan Clark had sex with children, according to the publicity agent Max Clifford.

"In a secretly filmed, three-minute interview posted on the internet last night, the publicist said that the Tory MP and diarist had 'interfered' with two 14-year-old girls.

"But he added, during a discussion of his success in suppressing scandals, that the story had never come out.

"Last night Mr Clifford, who was unaware his comments were being recorded, strenuously denied that he had told the girls' family to stay quiet about the allegations.

"At the time that he learnt of the allegations, in the 1990s, Mr Clifford did not represent Mr Clark - but he did act for the alleged victims' family, who made less serious, but more titillating, claims about the MP.

"Mr Clark, a long-serving MP and minister in Margaret Thatcher's government who died in 1999, said of those claims at the time: 'Of course I deny them. I have to deny them.'

"Mr Clark, a Tory grandee who lived at Saltwood Castle in Kent, was known to be a philanderer.

"In his diaries, he recalled encountering his wife-to-be Jane (they married when he was 30 and she 16) when she was aged 14: 'This is very exciting. She is the perfect victim, but whether or not it will be possible to succeed I can't tell at present.'

"In the video, which appears to be at least 10 years old, Mr Clifford boasted about his ability to keep embarrassing material out of the media and said he created a 'false image' for clients...."[/I]

I found this tonight not sure if there is much truth in it, but it wouldn't surprise me if it eventually proves to be factual.

North Yorkshire Police has handed itself in to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) over child sex abuse allegations about Jimmy Savile and former borough mayor Peter Jaconelli.

The force has said that where he alive today, Jaconelli would have been interviewed under caution and his case referred to the Crown Prosecution Service.

As a result, the force has made a voluntary referral concerning the way in which it recorded and responded to reports it received against the two men and how this information was handled.

The formal referral, made yesterday (April 3), follows an internal enquiry conducted by the force.

The referral relates to how North Yorkshire Police responded to an allegation it received over a decade ago about Jimmy Savile, who died in October 2011, and about several allegations made recently about Savile’s friend, Scarborough resident Peter Jaconelli, who died in 1999.

The referral also relates to whether any information it held on record about Savile or his known associates was properly and comprehensively disclosed to Her Majesty’s Inspector of Constabulary (HMIC) when it, and other police forces in England and Wales, were asked to do so by HMIC in December 2012 and again by the IPCC in May last year.

The Chief Constable for North Yorkshire Police, Dave Jones, said: “There has been, quite rightly, significant public interest in how the police service nationally responded to reports relating to alleged offending by both Savile and his known associates.

“In order to determine whether North Yorkshire Police responded appropriately to information we may have received, I instructed that an immediate review all of our systems be completed to ascertain if there was any recorded information in relation to Savile, Jaconelli and their known associates and friends, in respect of any reported offending.

“As a result of this review, I have referred the matter to the IPCC for their consideration.

“It is imperative that the public, especially victims, have confidence in the police, and that we are trusted to record and investigate all allegations of crime that we receive.”

North Yorkshire Police enquiries have already obtained evidence from a number of identified witnesses. Such is the nature of the evidence that, if he were alive today, Peter Jaconelli would have been interviewed under caution and a file of evidence would have been submitted for consideration by the Crown Prosecution Service.

Information has already been referred by North Yorkshire Police to Operation Yewtree, the national investigation into allegations regarding Savile’s activities.

How the Liberal party, police and MI5 concealed MP Cyril Smith's industrial-scale child abuse

For four decades, 29st politician was free to prey on vulnerable children as young as eight
Police received at least 144 complaints from victims yet authorities blocked any prosecution
New book serialised in Daily Mail details how Smith - who died in 2010 aged 82 - was repeatedly protected despite being arrested for sex crimes
MI5 and Special Branch officers put pressure on police to drop investigations
Child porn was found in Smith’s car but police were ordered to release him
Liberal Party put his name forward for knighthood in 1988 in spite of rumours of his sordid activities swirling around Westminster

The shocking scale of the Establishment cover-up of former Liberal MP Cyril Smith’s sickening sex abuse of boys is revealed today.

For four decades, the depraved 29st politician was free to prey on vulnerable children as young as eight.

Police received at least 144 complaints by victims of the predatory paedophile yet the authorities blocked any prosecution – allowing Smith brazenly to continue his abuse.

The Liberal Party even put his name forward for a knighthood in 1988 in spite of the rumours of his sordid activities swirling around Westminster.

David, now Lord Steel nominated him for the honour despite knowing of the allegations about the bachelor MP for Rochdale, the ex-Liberal leader’s involvement emerging only in recent weeks after a Freedom of Information battle.

At Smith’s 80th birthday party, a gushing message from current Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg was read out, which said: ‘You were a beacon for our party in the ’70s and ’80s and continue to be an inspiration to the people of Rochdale.’

Now, an explosive new book serialised in the Daily Mail details how Smith – who died in 2010 aged 82 – was repeatedly protected despite being arrested for a string of sex crimes.

Written by one of Smith’s successors as MP for the Lancashire constituency, Labour’s Simon Danczuk, the book reveals:

MI5 and Special Branch officers put pressure on police to drop investigations;
child porn was found in Smith’s car but police were ordered to release him;
he was repeatedly arrested for ‘acts of gross indecency with young lads’ in public toilets but no action was taken;
Smith was a visitor to the notorious Elm Guest house in South-west London, now the focus of a Scotland Yard investigation into an alleged VIP paedophile ring;
senior Labour figures’ support of the Paedophile Information Exchange helped keep Smith ‘hidden from scrutiny’.

In his book, Smile for the Camera: the Double Life of Cyril Smith, Mr Danczuk details Smith’s ‘rapacious sexual appetite’ and highlights chilling similarities between the northern MP and fellow paedophile Jimmy Savile.



Like the DJ, Smith – who in 1973 appeared on Savile’s Clunk Click TV show – portrayed himself as a charitable man supporting young boys to provide cover for his sordid activities.

But unlike in the Savile scandal, police forces around the country repeatedly investigated sex abuse allegations against Smith yet their efforts to prosecute the MP were constantly blocked.

The book details how police officers were threatened with dismissal and gagged by the Official Secrets Act if they attempted to expose the politician’s sordid activities.

'I've come to examine you': From bogus medical examinations to punishment beatings, how paedophile Cyril Smith used his powerful public image to abuse boys
The truth about Labour apologists for paedophilia: Police probe child sex group linked to top party officials in wake of Savile
Knighted by Steel and eulogised by Clegg: Cyril Smith and the indelible shame of the Liberal Party
How Cyril Smith evaded the law: Sickening folly of the Left who aided his cause by advocating paedophilia

Mr Danczuk, Rochdale MP since 2010, first raised Smith’s case in the House of Commons in 2012 after victims contacted him to tell of their ordeals at the hands of the ‘29st bully’.

One young Liberal activist was sexually assaulted in Smith’s office in the House of Commons in the 1980s as other MPs, including then Labour leader Michael Foot, walked by.

Days later, the Crown Prosecution Service revealed that his victims’ claims were investigated by police on three separate occasion – in 1970, 1998 and 1999 – but each time files were submitted to prosecutors, they were rejected.


The CPS belatedly agreed that Smith should have been prosecuted and Greater Manchester Police publicly acknowledged, amid ‘overwhelming evidence’, that he did sexually and physically abuse young boys.

The book, co-written by Matthew Baker, reveals that as far back as the 1950s, Rochdale police had their suspicions about the politician.

Smith, MP for Rochdale between 1972 and 1992, was governor of almost 30 schools. In the 1960s, he helped to open Cambridge House children’s home, where he abused boys, often subjecting them to spurious medical examinations.

But when police launched an investigation, the chief constable of Lancashire personally intervened to stop it.

In the 1970s Smith was arrested on a number of occasions in public toilets in London’s St James’s Park, a regular haunt for young male prostitutes after dark, but always walked free.

The cover-ups continued in the 1980s when Smith’s car was pulled over on the motorway near Northampton and traffic officers discovered child porn in the boot.


At Cyril Smith's 80th birthday party, a gushing message from current Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg was read out, which said: 'You were a beacon for our party in the '70s and '80s and continue to be an inspiration to the people of Rochdale'.

‘The police were naturally disgusted and wanted to press charges,’ says the book. ‘But then a phone call was made from London and he was released without charge.’

When Rochdale police first started investigating him in 1972 they were threatened by the council’s Liberal leader and, according to Mr Danczuk’s book, rumours of his activities were well known in Westminster for many years.

But the Liberal Party, bruised by the negative publicity surrounding the 1979 conspiracy to murder trial of its leader Jeremy Thorpe and aware of Smith’s ‘electoral Midas touch,’ was eager to sweep the problems under the carpet .

David Steel, who took over from Mr Thorpe as party leader, even recommended Smith for his knighthood despite knowing of the sordid rumours that surfaced in 1979 that the MP had abused young boys.

The Cabinet Office had previously refused to disclose who had put Smith forward – claiming it would breach data protection rules – but the Information Commissioner’s Office ruled earlier this year that there was a ‘legitimate public interest’ in it being disclosed.



A spokesman for Mr Clegg said last night: ‘Clearly he would never have paid tribute to Cyril Smith if he had had any idea about these horrible allegations.’

The book also describes how Labour politicians’ support for a notorious paedophile group that campaigned to legalise sex with children helped Smith evade justice for years.

Earlier this year the Mail revealed the extraordinary links between the National Council for Civil Liberties and the Paedophile Information Exchange.

Labour’s deputy leader Harriet Harman, her MP husband Jack Dromey, and former Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt held key roles in the NCCL, which in 1975 granted ‘affiliate’ status to the group of predatory paedophiles.

Smith was friends with PIE founding member Peter Righton and Mr Danczuk said the NCCL’s backing for PIE helped Smith’s crimes remain secret.

‘Worryingly, it seemed a fair few on the Left, including some who have subsequently become key figures in the Labour Party, were fooled into giving this hideous group shelter.

‘All of which helped Cyril’s cause and kept him hidden from scrutiny.’

Smith was a visitor to Elm Guest House, in Barnes, south west London, which is at the centre of the Metropolitan Police’s Operation Fernbridge.

A Liberal Democrat spokesperson said: ‘Cyril Smith’s acts were vile and repugnant and we have nothing but sympathy for those whose lives he ruined. His actions were not known to or condoned by anyone in the Liberal Party or the Liberal Democrats.’


'I've come to examine you': From bogus medical examinations to punishment beatings, how paedophile Cyril Smith used his powerful public image to abuse boys

By SIMON DANCZUK

The huge man, all of 29st, unlocked the door with his own key and burst into the teenager’s room.

‘Take your clothes off,’ he ordered the orphaned youngster, who was sick with the flu and had taken to his bed in the hostel instead of going to work.

‘I’ve been told you’re ill and I’ve come to examine you,’ the man declared. Yet this was no doctor, but a councillor and businessman, a respected and well-known figure in the local community.

Just like Jimmy Savile - whom he counted as a friend - Cyril Smith used his public image as a shield while manipulating his way into positions of influence over vulnerable young people he then ruthlessly abused



‘He was a colossus, more than three times my size,’ the lad recalled years later, in graphic and disturbing testimony. ‘I remember his eyes watching me like a beast sizing up its prey. In the folds of fat around his neck I could see rivulets of sweat.

‘Shaking with fear, I did as I was told. He bent down and clasped me with huge hands like shovels.

Suddenly he grasped my private parts and began to squeeze. I screamed.

‘Violence flashed in his eyes. “Now, now, lad. I’ll have none of your petulance. This is for your own good. I’m checking to see if there’s anything wrong with you,” he said, as he forced his way between my thighs again.

‘I don’t know how long it lasted, but it felt like hours.

‘When he rose there was a faint smile on his features, which twisted into a sneer as he said: “There’s nothing wrong with you, lad. You’re swinging the lead, trying to bunk off work.”

‘ “No,” I stammered. “I’ve never had a day off in my life. I’m sick.”

‘He lunged towards me and in one brutal movement threw me over his knee. Thwack, thwack, thwack.

‘His monstrous hand rained down on my bottom, smacking me until I thought I’d pass out. I cried out in pain, but that only made him hit me harder.

‘When he finished I was trembling and whimpering as he held me down and told me: “It had to be done, lad.”

‘Above his heavy breathing I could smell his rancid body odour. With a wet sponge, he then began to stroke me, rough hands sliding over the welts he had made.

‘He was humming to himself, broken every now and then by strange squeals of pleasure. “There, there,” he kept whispering, his breath bearing down on my neck.

‘When it was over he let me slide to the floor, cleared his throat and adjusted his braces. He pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket and mopped his brow.

‘ “You’ll know better now,” he said, and made his way out.

‘The door clicked shut. For a while the only thought I entertained was death.’

When he calmed down, the shattered youngster pulled his wits together.

‘I dragged my clothes on, gathered my things into a duffle bag and ran. I spent the next night huddled in a bus shelter,’ he said.

‘That winter of 1963 was the coldest in 200 years. But that was nothing compared to the chill left in me for the rest of my life.’

The sadistic bully who administered this beating at Cambridge House, a boys’ hostel in the Lancashire mill town of Rochdale — and in the process tainted this bright young man’s life — was Cyril Smith.


In 1963, he was already an enormously powerful local figure, a political godfather with fingers in many pies.

Known as Mr Rochdale, he later became the town’s mayor, then its Liberal MP, and for 20 years strutted the national stage.

At Westminster, on television and in the media, Smith was a big man in every sense.

He was one of the most popular faces in politics, using his oversized appearance, humour and in-your‑face northern bluffness to stand out in a world of grey, indistinguishable politicians.

But just like Jimmy Savile — whom he counted as a friend — Smith used his public image as a shield while manipulating his way into positions of influence over vulnerable young people he then ruthlessly abused.

And, like Savile, he deployed his professional success, powerful personality and highly placed contacts to ensure he was never held to account. It was only after his death in 2010 at the age of 82 that men like that victim from Cambridge House felt safe to speak out.

Yet Cyril Smith’s dark side has always been talked about in Rochdale — and the whispers echoed through British politics.

One of the most shocking elements of his story is how the truth was known to the police and in Westminster, yet concealed from the wider public, allowing a paedophile to hide in Parliament.

When I first arrived in Rochdale as its prospective Labour candidate in 2007, I, too, was taken in by him. It was 15 years since he’d stood down as MP but he continued to cast a spell over the town.
Case studies

I’d be woken at 2am by people asking for urgent help on a problem. When I pointed out it was the middle of the night, I’d be told: ‘Cyril would always help us whatever time it was.’

A working-class boy made good, he oozed supreme confidence and had a common touch that broke down barriers, shuffling around Rochdale market in carpet slippers to buy a bag of tripe.

Although he was officially ‘retired’ from politics, he still sat in an armchair on street corners, smiling like some saintly monk while people queued to hear his homilies. Councillors couldn’t get elected without his backing.

At first, I respected him for his homespun politics, his spit-and-sawdust grit and his passion. But in time, the scales fell from my eyes and I was confronted with absolute horror. Once you looked beyond the jolly clown playing for the camera, there was a sickening, dark heart.
'He'd grope all the boys as he gave out awards'

I saw it in police files that had been hidden for years and I heard it in the desperate voices of grown men Cyril had abused as boys.

As soon as the first victim approached me, there was no turning back. Every email, every phone call, every meeting uncovered more about his double life.

And the more I found out, the more I came to realise that this wasn’t just about abuse, it was about power — and a cover-up that reached from Rochdale all the way to the very top of the Establishment.

Smith posed as a tireless worker for children — at one point he was governor of 29 local schools and set up a youth charity, Rochdale Childer — using it all as a cover to prowl from classroom to classroom and youth club to youth club.

His happiest hunting grounds were Cambridge House, a hostel for ‘working boys’ he helped set up with other politicians, and Knowl View, a residential school for children with learning difficulties, where he was a governor and had his own set of keys, coming and going at will.

To sit before the men he abused there and listen to them recount their ordeals is an experience no one can prepare for. There is anger, confusion and a deep sense of shame as they recall violence, spanking and groping that will never be erased from their memories.


Smith would carry out bogus medical examinations as an excuse to fondle them, or beat them as supposed punishment for breaking the rules — then ‘comfort’ them afterwards.

Those who defied him were hit and smashed against walls. Boys’ teeth were knocked out and their bodies treated like playthings.

Other details of Cyril’s abuse filtered through to me almost casually. The cleaner in my office mentioned in passing how he once played for a football team as a teenager and Smith presented the awards every year.

‘He’d grope all the boys as he was presenting their medals,’ I was told. ‘We complained to the coach, but he said we’d have to put up with it because Cyril was the sponsor and paid for the do.’

I listened, horrified. It was presented as just another everyday story of Cyril abusing boys — as if everyone knew.

I began to wonder how many other public figures over the years had received calls and letters about Cyril and not acted on them. I imagine there were a few.
'I cried out but it only made him hit me harder'


Certainly, when I started to ask questions after getting elected, a fellow Labour MP approached me and told me to leave Cyril alone. ‘Don’t attack him, steer clear of him,’ he said. ‘It’s not worth it.’

It wasn’t just the words that irritated me, it was the look that followed. It more or less said: ‘Play the game, this is how it works, and if you want to join our club then obey our rules.’

One of the most troubling whispers that repeatedly reached me was that Cyril had been protected by MI5. But, initially at least, no one was prepared to go on the record about it.

A former Labour MP I approached started to talk but went silent after a few sentences. ‘No good will come of this,’ he said nervously. ‘It’s best left.’ And then he shut the door on me.

A former police officer I tracked down to his pub in Cheshire went white when I mentioned Cyril’s name. ‘I can’t talk about that time,’ he said, and again the door was closed.

It was hard not to conclude that powerful forces were still at work to protect Smith’s name. But the voices of the victims could not be silenced, and in the autumn of 2012, in Parliament, I named Cyril as an abuser.

After I spoke publicly, more stories flooded in, and not just from victims.

Many — as I will describe in detail in the coming days of this series — were from police officers saying Smith’s crimes were widely known to them but their superiors refused to act.

I was told of officers who found child pornography in the boot of Smith’s car, only for a mysterious call from London to tell them not to charge him.


I was told how Smith’s case was used during police training on child abuse, with one instructor admitting there had been 144 complaints against him. Mysteriously, when this became known to her superiors, the instructor was silenced and moved to another job.

I was told how Smith was repeatedly detained for acts of gross indecency in toilets in St James’s Park, London, only for orders to discontinue inquiries in each case.

And I was told how, when other inquiries were completed and revealed compelling and disturbing evidence that Smith was a serial paedophile, they were ignored.

It’s now known that on three separate occasions files were passed by Lancashire Police to the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Crown Prosecution Service containing details of Smith’s abuse. Yet on each occasion no prosecution was pursued. It is as though Cyril was untouchable.

On one now notorious occasion, files of evidence on Smith held by Special Branch were removed by MI5 officers from the safe at police headquarters in Preston and taken to London. They were never seen again. This was just one of several cover-ups which I will reveal in detail later in this series.

Some will no doubt argue that things have changed. The cover-up of Cyril’s abuse was a long time ago. The values of the Seventies are a lot different to the standards expected in public life today. People wouldn’t stand for that now. Awareness of child abuse has improved tenfold. No one would tolerate this kind of behaviour among colleagues, surely?

I would like to believe this view, but all the signs I’ve seen suggest it’s not the case.
Cyril wasn’t the only abuser in Rochdale, and he was influential enough to ensure that other abusers were allowed to hang on to his coat-tails and carry on, undetected by the authorities.

The problem that the town has to face up to, I believe, is that paedophile gangs have been operating there for years.

A leaked report to the local health authority, by a council HIV prevention officer named Phil Shepherd, warned that men from as far away as Sheffield travelled to Rochdale to abuse boys at Knowl View School.

I will tell the full, horrifying story behind this report, and how it became public, later in this series.

But it instantly invites the questions: Who was organising this? Who knew what was happening? Who chose to remain silent?

A number of police officers have told me that Cyril was just the tip of the iceberg and, unfortunately, I expect more stories of his abuse to emerge.

I think in time we’ll hear that there were more abusers in Parliament, more terrible cover-ups.

And it won’t be just one political party that’s guilty of harbouring abusers.

Faggots are the boy-molesting scum of the earth, and Britain seems to have a higher percentage of them than other places. The way the cops, MI5 & other "authorities" abetted filth like Smith is unforgivable. Those still alive should be strung up.

Quote:
Former Co-op chairman Paul Flowers will be formally questioned about his role in an alleged ‘cover-up’ of appalling sex abuse at a school founded by paedophile MP Cyril Smith.

The Mail on Sunday can reveal the ex-Methodist minister faces an official inquiry into claims that he and others ignored a series of damning reports.

At the time, he was vice-chairman of Rochdale Council’s social services committee, which oversaw Knowl View School during a time it was described as ‘a sweet shop for paedophiles’.


Boys as young as seven were abused by Smith and his depraved cronies in what is now viewed as one of the country’s worst-ever child sex scandals.

Despite countless warnings, the authorities failed to act and the crimes at Knowl View – for children with learning difficulties and behavioural problems – were kept hidden from the public.

This week Flowers will receive a letter saying that he must answer questions from Andrew Warnock QC, who is leading the investigation into Rochdale Council’s handling of the allegations.

Nine others will be put on notice in the same way.

Rochdale Council leader Colin Lambert told The Mail on Sunday: ‘The letter is quite strong and lengthy, and they should be worried because the allegation is that they took part in a cover-up. So if they knew and decided not to do anything that is a very serious matter. There are criminal issues here.’

A former child actor has told detectives he was abused by undercover male police officers at a guest house at the centre of an alleged VIP paedophile ring.

Lee Towsey made the astonishing claim to Scotland Yard’s Operation Fernbridge, which is investigating historic child sex abuse.

He says it happened while he worked at the Elm Guest House in South-West London in 1982. At the time, Mr Towsey was 16, then under the age of homosexual consent.

‘I was naive and struggling to come to terms with my sexuality,’ he said. ‘After we had sex the officers offered me money.’

In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, he also tells of a sexual encounter with Cyril Smith – and how he was warned by police to ‘keep quiet about what and who you saw’.

For years, the question of what went on at the Edwardian terrace in Rocks Lane, overlooking Barnes Common, has been the subject of speculation. It was claimed politicians, judges, pop stars, a high-ranking policeman, a member of the Royal household and an MI5 officer were among the visitors. There were allegations that some VIPs preyed on boys from a nearby children’s home.

But until today no one with any first-hand knowledge of what went on has ever spoken publicly. In bombshell testimony, Mr Towsey, who worked at Rocks Lane for five months as a masseur, claims:

Guest house owner Carole Kasir paid police protection money.
Names of high-profile guests were kept in a black book, referred to by Kasir as ‘my insurance policy’.
Kasir told him a Cabinet Minister was a regular visitor.
He only knew Cyril Smith was a politician when he recognised his Spitting Image puppet years later.

Mr Towsey has also spoken to Labour MP Simon Danczuk, whose book about Smith revealed how he abused scores of boys. Last night Mr Danczuk said: ‘This is a significant part of the jigsaw in what is a complex cover-up. It really moves on the need for a more in-depth inquiry.’

So all these authorities listed throughout this thread and the asian grooming ring thread are now the ones in charge of nicking you under "Cinderella's Law" when you tell your 13 year old that no, she is not going out dressed like that. Parents have been turning to authorities for help for years and now - admirable though it is that they want to stamp out all shades of child abuse - they're going to be at risk of prosecution themselves for causing emotional upset.

The BBC has been criticised for showing a 'lack of sensitivity' after it began stocking milk with a nearly identical name to the police investigation into Jimmy Savile.

Senior staff at Media City in Manchester have changed the suppliers to Yew Tree Dairy from Skelmersdale, Lancashire.

The name sounds strikingly similar to Operation Yewtree, the probe into years of abuse by the shamed DJ and presenter.


A source told The Sun: 'Now every time one of us wants a brew, we've got a constant reminder of Savile's perverted crimes - that went on right underneath the BBC's nose.'

The MP who exposed the paedophilia of the late Cyril Smith is threatening to name another former senior politician alleged to have had sex with children.

Simon Danczuk, Labour MP for Rochdale, where one of his predecessors was Smith, said he may unmask someone 'much more important' who allegedly abused boys at the notorious Elm Guest House in Barnes, South-West London, which was used as a venue for a paedophile ring of VIPs.

'I have been contacted by people making serious allegations.' The MP says he could use parliamentary privilege - which would give him legal immunity - to name the former influential MP.

He added: 'It would be best for him to come forward of his own volition, but I would consider using privilege to name the parliamentarian.'

Mr Danczuk spoke as it emerged that disgraced former Co-op Bank chairman Paul Flowers faces questioning over an alleged cover-up of child abuse at Knowl View School, a special school in Rochdale linked to local Liberal MP Smith.

I'm sure I don't need to remind anyone about the court cases brought against prominent and famous people who have speculated on related issues.

Disgraced celebrity publicist Max Clifford has been jailed for a total of eight years for a string of indecent assaults against girls and young women.

On Monday the 71-year-old became the first person to be convicted under Operation Yewtree.

Sentencing the PR man, Judge Anthony Leonard said he had groomed and degraded his victims.

Mr Leonard ruled that Clifford should serve his eight sentences of between six and 24 months consecutively.

He said that Clifford - whose lawyer later said an appeal was being considered - should serve at least half his total sentence in jail.

The judge said some of the offences would be charged as rape if they had happened today.

Default Was Simon Cowell aware of the Paedophile ring connected to Jonathan King when he put up £50,000 bail money?

http://chrisspivey.org/was-simon-cow...hen-he-put-up/ In the article – found lower down this page – you can read how the Daily Mirror reported on Max Cliffords court case in relation to the sex attacks he allegedly carried out over a 19 year period. This report is more or less an exact copy of how the rest of the MSM reported on the case… And it absolutely fucking stinks to be honest.

There is even a short video included in the article… A very carefully edited video mind you, in which you don’t see or hear a man called Bill Maloney confronting Clifford.

Now, I am sure that most of you know who Bill is, but for those who don’t he is an independent film-maker who specialises in child abuse issues. You can find Bill’s films HERE

Bill confronts Clifford on his way into court and on his way out again. He specifically, repeatedly asks Clifford, about the 13 year old children that the PR Guru sent to Peter Stringfellows nightclub to be abused and a paedophile ring that Bill insinuates that Clifford knew about.

On the video of this confrontation which can be found by clicking HERE Bill can be heard quite clearly, twice asking Clifford if he and Simon Cowell knew that Jonathan King was operating a paedophile ring. There is however, no mistaking the question to be more of an accusation.

It will be interesting to see what Cowell does now. I strongly suspect nothing.

Clifford’s reaction to Bill’s persistent accusations is – to me at least – extremely telling.

Moreover, for what it’s worth, I 100 percent believe that Bill has got his facts right. Very much in the same way that, I have no doubts that he was telling the truth when he stood on the steps in a packed Trafalgar Square, and announced into a microphone that the Queen Mother was a paedophile.

Bills questions aimed at Clifford in regard to the paedophile ring would obviously explain why Cowell put up the £50 grand bail money when the Vile nonce King was charged with sexually abusing young boys. Naturally, Cowell denies any knowledge of Kings activities and is keen to distance himself from his former friend.



Course, it is quite obvious that Clifford is being ‘protected’ in order to ensure his silence about the perverse activities of those much higher up the social scale. Clifford should in fact be facing some extremely serious charges. I mean, it isn’t as if the Police cannot find any evidence to link him to child abuse.

For instance, their is plenty of evidence on Clifford to be found by clicking HERE

I wish to fuck people would now get their heads out of their arses, just long enough to realise that, the celebrities they hero worship, the government they trust and the Royal Family they believe to be beyond reproach are all up to their necks in the sordid practice of child rape.

Only then, will we see justice done.
