A strange thing happend today. the prime minister, david cameron was ambushed on a chat show when the interviewer presented him with a list of six names of conservative politicians about whom rumours of paedophile activity are apparently widely available on the internet.
I have no idea whether these are true, but they follow recent publicity over the lifetime activity of Jimmy Saville, recently deceased. After his death many people have come forward to say they were abused by him. The spirit of openness and encouragement to come forward has brought some others forward, complaining about different abusers. In particular we now have a reopening of a case involving a ring frankly of pimps at a local authority childrens home, which supposedly was dealt with some years ago. yet now people have come forward saying they gave evidence about abusers apart form those working in the childrens homes, but nothing was ever done. in particular an accusation was made about a local conservative MP.
One of the most shocking parts of this affair was that the local authority was tipped off that something was happening and investigated. They produced a report about what was happening. Then, after being told that their insurers would refuse cover if the authority supplied information to anyone who then made a claim, they tried to destroy all copies. Better to let it continue, obviously. But that isnt the issue now, I just wanted to rant about it.
Now apparently there is a list of six names and a copy was handed to Mr cameron on live TV. His reaction was to say he did not think anyone should be starting a witch hunt against gay people because of these allegation.
Ye what? Why does he associate gay with paedophile? I'm not amused.
