Margaret Thatcher 'personally covered up' child abuse allegations against senior ministers
Source: The Mirror
The Tory Prime Minister is said to have held a meeting with a rising star, who was tipped for promotion, and told him: You have to clean up your sexual act
Margaret Thatcher personally covered up child abuse allegations made against one of her senior ministers, according to explosive new claims.
The Sunday People reports Tory Prime Minister is said to have held a high-powered meeting with the rising star, who was being tipped for promotion, and told him: You have to clean up your sexual act.
It followed an allegation that the minister had sexually abused young boys at the home of one of his political allies in 1982.
However the minister apparently ignored the warnings.

This is a major UK news story about historic child abuse from serving MPs and ministers.
If it is true that Thatcher knew and covered it up would not surprise me. She was also close friends with prolific child rapist and necrophile Jimmy Saville (who she demanded be given a knighthood).

(14,739 posts)Lady Butler-Sloss, the retired high court judge, has resigned as chair of the panel that is due to examine the extent to which public institutions failed to investigate allegations of child abuse.
Hours after the former solicitor general Vera Baird called on Butler-Sloss to stand down over a family conflict of interest, the former judge issued a statement announcing that she would withdraw from the post.
Butler-Sloss had faced intense criticism from victims' groups because her brother, the late Sir Michael Havers, was attorney general during the 1980s when reports of child abuse were allegedly not examined properly.
The retired judge informed the home secretary, Theresa May, of her decision over the weekend. May, who appointed Butler-Sloss last week, had strongly defended her as the criticism mounted.

I would certainly believe that Thatcher was fully involved in any cover-up.

(16,881 posts)Margaret Thatcher absolutely knew all about the government paedophile ring and who was involved.
Her father was a paedophile well known for it in Grantham and she was not such a close friend of Jimmy Saville by accident and nor were the royal family.
Anyone think the truth is coming out? Amazing as the relevations so far may seem they are but a trickle from a massive ocean both sides of the Atlantic and worldwide.

The British Establishment Paedophiles Everywhere
The David Icke Newsletter, January 20th, 2013
Savile got away with it for 54 years because he was protected by the highest levels of the paedophile-Satanist-controlled British Establishment for whom he was procuring children.
Lest we forget: Disc jockey Jimmy Savile was a close friend of the royal family including Lord Louis Mountbatten, Prince Philip and Prince Charles from the 1960s until he died aged 84 in 2011. Savile was also a close friend of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who ran one of the most paedophile-infiltrated administrations of modern times yes and with all the competition, too.
Now a new front is emerging to expose the rings sickening activities the notorious Elm Guest House in Rocks Lane, Barnes, south-west London. I have been on the trail of Elite paedophilia and Satanism on both sides of the Atlantic for two decades but I still shake my head at the same recurring names year after year in location after location.
Names emerging from sources seeking to expose what happened at Rocks Lane have included a Thatcher cabinet minister who has come up so often it is extraordinary testimony to the Establishments ability to cover up that he is still at large and considered worthy of political influence.
Another Elm name familiar to me is Anthony Blunt who is alleged to have used the name Anthony Goldstein when visiting Rocks Lane. Blunt was one of the infamous Cambridge Five British Intelligence insiders who spied for the Soviet Union. Four of them were Blunt, Guy Burgess, Donald Maclean and Kim Philby and the fifth, never named, was Lord Victor Rothschild, although there were actually more than five.
And Blunt leads us once again to the British royal family

(951 posts)Some of the comments I have been reading lately would make it seem this is over, or that it was not widespread. Yet we still can not get access to the truth. There is still a conspiracy against abused children, and a vast global conspiracy to protect these creeps. It is mind boggling. What does this say about power, and children, and their value in our world. It eclipses class, wealth and status.
I shall pray that the dossier will come to light. But the implications of the involvement of Buckingham palace makes me think it never will. Wouldn't want to rain on the royals parade now, would we?

(41,208 posts)That was Galtieri. However, the fact that the Thatcher government withdrew the 'Endurance' from the South Atlantic, despite being warned by the Navy that this would send a signal to Argentina that an invasion would be safe, certainly contributed to the invasion. At my most tin-foilish I have sometimes suspected that this was what would now be called 'LIHOP' (certainly the war helped Thatcher to win the 1983 election); though one should never underestimate the effects of a combination of incompetence, arrogance, and a fanaticism for cutting everything in sight.
The sinking of the General Belgrano was a war-crime. However, Galtieri should not be let off the hook either for the invasion, or, far worse, his truly vicious treatment of his own people.

If he'd sat on his hands, who knows. A war leading to re-election in 1979? I despise Thatcher.

(910 posts)Guilty after six-year trial, Portugal's high-society paedophile ring
To most people Portugal's state-run orphanages seemed like a safe haven for thousands of children who had been robbed of their parents. They were called the Casa Pia, or Houses of the Pious.
But for an elite paedophile ring, which included a former ambassador and a prominent television celebrity, Casa Pia orphanages were something entirely different. They were supermarkets stocked with children to abuse. Yesterday, at the conclusion of the longest trial in Portugal's history, seven defendants were convicted of using the orphanages to rape and abuse scores of teenage boys in a case that has sent shockwaves through the country's political elite and raised serious concerns over the efficiency of Portugal's judiciary. Six of the seven were given jail terms of between five and 18 years.

Roy Atchison: On the Paper Trail of a PaedophilePosted on September 9, 2010 by Margie Burns
This blog entry is the first of a series of articles on John David Roy Atchison. Atchison, an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Northern District of Florida, Pensacola office, was arrested in September 2007 on charges relating to pedophilia. He committed suicide in federal prison in October 2007. Arrest and suicide were not foregrounded by the Department of Justice in the Bush administration. The first articles, based largely on FBI material obtained under FOIA, will focus on the criminal acts and their context in 2007 in the Pensacola office.
This is not the story of a man who engaged in pedophilia for years or decades before being caught. It is the story of a man whipsawed by the strain of living up to a high-achieving family rooted in Birmingham, Ala., whose high-functioning connections assisted him for years in developing a career for which he turned out not to be suited. On Sept. 16, 2007, Assistant U.S. Attorney John David Roy Atchison, serving as a federal prosecutor in the Northern District of Florida, was arrested on credible charges of basically pedophilia. Atchison committed suicide in federal prison Oct. 5.
A dead pedophile might not sound like a tragedy. But Atchison was thought to be participating in a pedophile ring, and his death removed a useful informant from law enforcement resources. The question of how he was enabled to kill himself rather than being preserved for justice is one of the loose ends left hanging in his case. This article series will look at the case itself, at how Atchison attained his federal career, and at the easy prison suicide in 2007.
The legal case begins in August 2007, when an officer identified only as part of the Detroit Deputized Cyber Task Force, posing online as a divorced mother of two small children, was Instant Messengered by Yahoo! Member fldaddy04. As the Federal Bureau of Investigation notes, when the TFO [Task Force Officer, name redacted] added the user to her buddy list, the name John Davidson replaced fldaddy04. By Sept. 12, the FBI had determined that Davidson was actually Atchison, married since 1983, who lived with his wife, a high school teacher and cheerleading coach, in Gulf Breeze, Florida, and was president of the Gulf Breeze Sports Association as well as an Assistant U.S. Attorney.
