"A woman has waived her right to lifelong anonymity to allege that a well-known politician was part of a VIP paedophile ring that sexually abused children in the Staffordshire countryside in the 1980s and 90s.
Esther Baker, 32, said the politician was in a group whose influential members routinely abused young girls in Cannock Chase as uniformed police officers stood guard."
In a sense, this is encouraging, because as the article points out, Ms Baker simply wouldnât have been believed before the Savile revelations broke. On the other hand though, youâve got the likes of Lord Janner wanted for questioning in relation to a string of offences, being declared too senile to face justice. This is despite the fact that he was considered well enough to operate on government committees post-diagnosis.
Iâve remarked before, but the truly sickening thing about establishment abuse in particular is that the very institutions designed to protect children; family courts, the state care system and the police - appear to have been used to harm them in an industrial, systemic way.
who is the VIPae?

Not been named yet, but according to the article, still an active part of the political establishment. For the purposes of avoiding libel, etc, letâs not have any speculation on the name until confirmed.
ok pap sorry pap if i meet any mps tho i will punch them in the nuts, just to be on the safe side.
I think theyâll happily pay for that service Bear.
The Guardian is reporting that Lord Janner will now face charges in court for historical child sex offences.
Good newsâŠI signed an online petition to get him brought to justice. Donât know if it helped but there should be no hiding place.
Me too. Hopefully heâll spill the beans on a few more.
This ExaroNews article is pretty interesting. Apparently, the CPS had already tried to build cases against Janner in 1991 and 2007.
I knew you couldnât trust Plymouth-ites.
This is less encouraging. Roger Cook, erstwhile of the Cook Report, has been called as a witness in the trial of Ben Fellows, who is up for perverting the course of justice. He is being prosecuted because he made an allegation against Kenneth Clarke, then chancellor and still around Cameronâs government.
Well worth keeping an eye on the outcome on this trial.
More disturbing news out of Dolphin Square. This time the allegations concern a âseniorâ MP still in the Commons.
Dolphin Square really is a strange place (and vast - I donât know of a bigger apartment complex in central London). During the sixties and seventies it was, among other things, the London home of KGB staff.
Australiaâs 60 minutes makes a special on UK paedophiles.
Havenât watched it myself yet. Will share some views when I have.
I watched the first segment. I donât think I can watch any more.
I watched all of it. It actually gets worse, particularly when they are grilling one of the former PIE members. Zac Goldsmith was interviewed as part of it; heâs one of the MPs trying to cast light on this, along with Tom Watson, who originally brought the matter to Parliament. Not an easy watch at all, but something the nation must face.
Yep I watched it allâŠI donât quite know what to say. Tom OâCarroll of the PIE is the one who sits and tries to justify the unjustifiable. I think everyone should memorise his nameâŠa sick sick man.
A full, no place is sacred, no name beyond reproach investigation must be sanctionedâŠNOW!
Canât disagree with that, and nor would the vast, vast majority of the British public.
Blair government was briefed about police paedophile probe involving Labour minister BEFORE it was halted
Tony Blairâs government was briefed about a paedophile investigation in which a minister was a suspect before it was halted, previously secret documents reveal. Scotland Yardâs anti-corruption command are investigating claims that evidence the minister was part of a paedophile ring in Lambeth, South London, in the 1980s was covered up.
It appears that Frank Dobson and Paul Boateng are implicated in the âcover upâ. Both denied being briefed about the investigation (or not recalling being briefed about the investigation), but are now confronted with âevidenceâ that suggests they were informed.
The Ps© mentioned is Boateng and the SoS is Dobson.
Questions to answer at least.
I must admit that I havenât read the whole thread, but as an asideâŠthe police do seem to be rather quick on their feet to prosecute easy targets like popstars of the 70âs and old tv presenters, but rather seem to be dragging their feet somewhat over the political eliteâŠor am I wrong?
