Guest MattP Posted 2 March 2015 Share Posted 2 March 2015 Re Glitter - It is a very sad legacy for a successful career. The victims though, deserve to be able to live without hearing him on the radio or seeing him on re-runs of Top of the Pops. He's still on most jukeboxes and when I put 'Do you wanna touch me' on last Saturday everyone started fist pumping in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 5 March 2015 Author Share Posted 5 March 2015 The home of former Conservative MP Harvey Proctor has been searched by police investigating historical allegations of child abuse. The BBC understands police arrived at the 68-year-old's house on the estate of Belvoir Castle, in Leicestershire, on Wednesday. The Metropolitan Police said Operation Midland officers searched an address. Mr Proctor said would like to be interviewed by police "at the earliest opportunity". Operation Midland is examining claims boys were abused by a group of powerful men from politics, the military and law enforcement agencies at locations across southern England and in London in the 1970s and 1980s. It is also examining claims that three boys were murdered. Mr Proctor became an MP in 1979, representing Basildon in Essex for four years. He subsequently represented Billericay until 1987. Belvoir Castle is a 16,000 acre site of farmland and woodland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belvoir Castle is a 16,000 acre site of farmland and woodland. There's a blast from the past. Obnoxious right-wing backbencher from the Thatcher era who stood down after media exposure of his activities spanking and caning rent boys. He pleaded guilty to gross indecency. Funny enough, those actions wouldn't be crimes at all, now, seeing as the rent boys were 17-21...except on the grounds of money changing hands, presumably. Presumably the Old Bill are investigating whether his tastes went younger than 17. Even if they had evidence that he was having sex with 17-year-old lads in the 1980s, I don't imagine that the CPS would want to prosecute under historic laws, given the equalisation of the age of consent?

davieG Posted 20 March 2015 Author Share Posted 20 March 2015 Teachers, civil servants and police are among 264 people that have been charged following an operation targeting those accessing child abuse images online. A total of 745 suspected paedophiles have been arrested in the National Crime Agency (NCA) investigation, launched just over a year ago. The agency said 518 children had been protected as a result. Of those charged, 47 were employed in positions of trust or voluntary roles with access to children, the NCA said. The government workers include a former UK Border Agency officer, three civil servants, a government employee and someone working in the office of a police and crime commissioner. Also facing charges are 16 teachers or school staff, a retired magistrate and a police service employee. They were all investigated under Operation Notarise, the biggest UK inquiry into people sharing child abuse images online since Operation Ore.

I reckon there will be a few big names outed/accused before the election. The parties are just waiting for the best time to release the names.

It's hard to describe just how sickening this will make a lot of people feel. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-32329924 I can understand the decision taken now, based on medical assessments by 4 doctors, that he is unfit to stand trial. What I absolutely cannot understand is why it has taken so long to reach this point. I'm not sure precisely how long the allegations have been around for, but certainly since at least 1991, when Beck was convicted. So, between them, the police and the CPS have taken 24 years to investigate whether there was enough evidence to bring charges. After 24 years, the CPS has concluded that there IS enough evidence to bring multiple serious charges....but that, regrettably, Janner is now unfit to defend himself! Of course, "innocent until proven guilty" still applies, but the CPS is clearly now saying that there was a realistic chance of him being convicted of some very serious charges. So, why did it take 24 years to reach that conclusion? ! The establishment sticking together or the police / legal authorities being scared of upsetting powerful people?

That just seems to be the way it was, because none of them did for whatever reason, it's baffling to someone like me who didn't live through it but watching TOTP clips with Glitter and Saville having a few early teenage girls sat all over them is quite shocking. Same with Janner. Everyone seemed to know Savile was at it yet no one ever did anything, anyone in a high place seemed totally exempt from this, P.S You ever seen the half man half biscuit lyric about Savile? Sure you have “Down at Stoke Mandeville I bumped into Mr IQ I said Hey albino, this is not 1972 Stub out your King Edward and get that small boy off your knee And melt down your rings and things and get yourself off my TV Jim could you fix it for me To come down and suck out your kidneys?

Sure you have I'd not registered the lyrics of that HMHB song ("I left my heart in Papworth General"), though I've previously posted the 1978 interview in which John Lydon mentions Savile: (0:50 onwards) If anything, it's even more surprising that the Janner case wasn't dealt with properly. There were obviously widespread rumours about Savile, but Janner was accused in open court and addressed the issue himself in parliament in 1991. So why did it take 24 years for the matter to be investigated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
