Tory child sex ring claim: Cameron races to control scandal

[alp227]

Source: The Guardian

The government is racing to stay ahead of the swirl of allegations about child abuse in the UK by announcing two further inquiries into an alleged abuse ring in north Wales in the 1970s and 1980s.

The first inquiry will look into the conduct of the original official inquiry into the child sex abuse ring and the second into the police handling of complaints at the time.

Faced by allegations that senior Conservative politicians may have been involved in the scandal at the time, David Cameron, while on an official visit to the Middle East, announced he would establish an urgent investigation into the conduct of the official inquiry held between 1996 and 2000.

In addition, the prime minister's spokesman in London said a separate inquiry will be held into the way in which the police handled the investigation.

1. Conservatives are the same everywhere

Conservatism is a Mental Illness.

2. Related to the Franklin (R) & Penn State (R) cover ups ?

These dark entities seem to find and link with each other like Turds in the Cesspool of the Soul (R).

4. Wales child abuse claims: Theresa May to make statement on new inquiry

Theresa May is to make a statement to the House of Commons on the fresh investigation which is to be launched into the "hugely shocking" north Wales child abuse allegations that have been linked to a senior Conservative.

The home secretary said the investigation ordered by David Cameron would "look very carefully" into how the original inquiry assessed the allegations of sexual abuse at north Wales children's homes in the 1970s and 80s and make sure it was "done properly".

May told the BBC that the new investigation, to be led by a "senior independent figure", would look at how the original inquiry by the high court judge Sir Ronald Waterhouse was conducted. Steve Messham, who claims he was abused by the Conservative politician, has said the 2000 report covered only a fraction of the alleged assaults.

May struggled on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme to explain why the new inquiry was being set up, despite being repeatedly pressed on the issue: "There is going to be a review of the Waterhouse review, looking at the way it was conducted. These issues are hugely shocking and we have to go back and have a review of that inquiry to make sure that it has done the job that it was supposed to do," she said.

btw - the Guardian and the rest of our media here know exactly who is referred to here but none of them dare print the name. Chances are that all of us in the UK Forum do too.

8. I can't see it being more than days now

before one of our papers publishes at least one name on the list.

Thanks for that link which provides a good summary - when I searched I only managed to find Icke's stuff and some of the Scallywag refs. I then changed the search to specific names and found other loose stuff on the subject to more or less confirm.

Andrew Pierce and Kevin Maguire , who to me are a first class comedy act , on Sky News late last night mentioned its all over the internet etc anyway.

Pierce and Maquire from the past :

9. It does mention quite a few names

some of which I suspect may, in reality, be no more than "there were rumours about them being homosexual", so I think that should be taken as a 'summary of rumours' rather than the definitive accusations.

10. Thatcher's parliamentary private secretary named

He died in 1995, so he can't sue (remember British libel laws make the person making the claim prove it).

Exclusive: Eyewitness 'saw Thatcher aide take boys to abuse'

A former resident of the Wrexham care home at the centre of abuse allegations tells Channel 4 News that he saw evidence of abuse, and remembers seeing Sir Peter Morrison at the care home five times.

The former resident told Channel 4 News that although he did not recognise Sir Peter at the time, he later realised it was him.

Sir Peter, who died in 1995, was Margaret Thatcher's parliamentary private secretary and was at the heart of the Tory establishment during the 1980s. Recently, he has been publicly linked to abuse at the care home.

The former resident, who was not abused himself, said: "Going through some stuff recently and I saw his face. I know now he was the MP for Chester at the time. Morrison. Red, wavy hair. I recognised him straight away.

"I saw him at Bryn Estyn, he turned up in a car, boy went off in his car, don't know if he was in it. It was definitely his car, I saw him arrive in it then we went to bed and we saw it drive off.
