For decades, vulnerable children from care homes and other institutions were booked to order by rich and powerful men, for sex. This is the allegation put forward in ‘Nightmares at Elm Guest House’, in an interview with Chris Fay of the National Association for Young People in Care. As another significant member of the Conservative party is about to be outed this weekend, we take a closer look at these allegations and ask: how much longer can the UK establishment keep this story suppressed?

....
Jimmy Savile had also been protected from prosecution for rampant paedophilia, from when rumours first began circulating in 1964, to his death in 2011, which meant another key name and holder of secrets had left the scene. But immediately after his death (a sign of how open his secret must have been), BBC Newsnight began an investigation into the allegations….and the whole network began to blow up, by tracing Savile’s movements and interactions.
The latest series of press interest and police investigations was triggered by Labour MP Tom Watson, who timed judiciously a question to PM David Cameron at the height of the furore over Jimmy Savile. Tom Watson requested a full investigation of allegations of a “powerful paedophile network linked to Parliament and No 10” at Prime Minister’s Questions on 24th October 2012.
'Tory also served as chief secretary to the Treasury, trade and industry secretary and vice-president of European commission.
Former home secretary Leon Brittan died at his home in London on Wednesday night, his family has announced. He was 75.
In a statement his family said he had been ill with cancer for some time and paid tribute to his “extraordinary commitment to British public life”.
During a long political career as a Tory minister and peer, Brittan also served as chief secretary to the Treasury, trade and industry secretary and vice-president of the European commission.
He was a particularly influential figure during the premiership of Margaret Thatcher, taking a key role during the miners’ strike.
His cabinet career ended when he resigned over the Westland helicopter affair after it was revealed he had authorised the leaking of a letter which was critical of defence secretary Michael Heseltine, who also resigned.
John Gummer, the former Conservative cabinet minister who now sits in the upper house as Lord Deben, was the first to break the news, tweeting: “Very sad to see Leon Brittan has died. A good & honourable servant of his country. A decent and lasting friend. He will be sorely missed RIP.”..'
So another 'suspect' dies before being grilled... _________________ 'And he (the devil) said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I give them'. Luke IV 5-7.
The 29-year-old wants a DNA test after her mother Georgina Martin was snared by the paedophile at a railway station in 1982 aged just 13
A 29-year-old woman has spoken of her fears that she could be the daughter of child sex monster Jimmy Savile.
Her mother Georgina Martin was just 13 when she was snared by the paedophile at a railway station in 1982.
He had sex with her more than 20 times over three years, but ended the relationship when she told him she was pregnant.
Georgina was 16 at the time and also sleeping with a boyfriend. But she has always secretly feared the paedophile DJ was the baby’s dad.
Now she has confessed all to her stunned daughter – and both have decided to push for a DNA test.
The daughter told the Sunday Mirror: “I want to know the truth, but I hope to God I was not fathered by that man.
"It would be the worst nightmare imaginable to find out Jimmy Savile was my dad.
“I remember as a child watching Jim’ll Fix It on TV and Mum saying she knew Savile.
"But at the time I thought it just meant she could get me a badge from the show like the ones all the other children wanted.”
Georgina, 46, said: “I have carried the terrible secret that my child is likely to belong to Jimmy Savile for three decades.
"Now I have found the strength to speak out because we need to have a test to draw a line under this for her sake.”
Her mum’s fears only deepened as her daughter grew up.
Family pictures show the youngster with bright blonde hair, dark eyes and distinctive cheekbones bearing a strong resemblance to the DJ.
Now Georgina is determined to help her child pursue her quest for the truth.
She is to ask Operation Yewtree detectives for help in getting a DNA comparison with Savile’s remaining family members.
And she also believes “warped secrets” Savile told her and sick sexual fantasies he played out with her may hold the key to several more of his crimes.
She said: “He liked to whip my breasts with his belt and bite me on my chest and between my legs.”
Georgina, brought up in Wakefield, West Yorks, says she was firstapproached by the pervert outside Leeds railway station while bunking off school in February 1982.
Sick: Jimmy Savile
She said: “He spotted me in my uniform and asked, ‘You look really cold, do you fancy a cuppa?’. I instantly knew who he was from shows like Top of the Pops and Jim’ll Fix It. He was easy to recognise in his tracksuit.
“I just remember being very star-struck and thinking ‘wait until I tell everybody about this.’ He bought me a cup of tea and a cake and asked me all sorts of questions.
“I told him I was playing truant and he wanted to know if it was something I did often. When I said I had to go he said ‘you can give me a phone number you know?’
“I thought it a strange thing to ask but the whole experience was surreal. I went to give him my home number but he said that would be too busy and asked if there was anywhere else he could contact me.
“I lived with my nan most of the time because things were not great at home. I gave him her number but I never thought he would call.”
Three weeks later the paedophile rang to arrange a meeting. She said: “The phone went and my nan answered, but it went dead.
"Then about 10 minutes later it rang again and I answered. He recognised my voice and said ‘from now on refer to me as Vince. Can you be at Leeds station at 3pm tomorrow’. I said yes.”
Apartment: Sir Jimmy Savile's living room at his penthouse apartment in Roundhay Park, Leeds.
The next day she was picked up by a man in a Vauxhall Viva who asked if she was waiting for ‘Vince’ – the same name as Savile’s oldest brother.
Georgina says she was scared but let the stranger take her to Savile’s penthouse flat on the outskirts of Leeds.
She was led into a lift up to the three-bedroomed flat where Savile was waiting.
She said: “We sat talking and he told me about his charity work and shows.
“I remember the flat was very cluttered. He had worn carpets and white chairs.
“There were framed pictures of him with famous people like Prince Charles and a boxer with a belt over his shoulder.”
Heartbreak: She could be Jimmy Savile's daughter
Georgina was driven back to the station and Savile called again a few weeks later, shortly before her 14th birthday.
She said: “Exactly the same thing happened, but a different driver was sent to pick me up. This time though he offered me alcohol and said that we should celebrate my birthday.”
Savile then had sex with her in his bathroom.
Georgina said: “It didn’t feel wrong at the time. I never saw myself as a victim. I just believed that was what happened when you had a boyfriend.
“I know he was older but I thought I was special and that I’d have a new exciting life in London.
"It was only after he died and the truth surfaced that I started to see what happened in a different light.”
Monster: Jimmy Savile
Georgina says it was only when she told Savile she was pregnant that he showed his nasty side.
“We met up more than 20 times over the course of three years and had sex on pretty much every occasion – sometimes more than once,” she said.
“In March 1985, I fell pregnant. At the time I was seeing Savile as well as a boyfriend closer to my age. I did have sex with both of them in the same month but I always knew it was Savile’s child.
“He exploded. He stared at me and shouted ‘get your dress on’. He asked if it was his and I told him I also had a boyfriend. This made him even angrier.”
Georgina gave birth to her daughter in December 1985 and originally put the name of her boyfriend on the certificate.
But she says she always made it clear he was not the child’s father and the couple split a year after the birth.
She said: “My boyfriend knew it was highly unlikely my daughter was his.
“We grew apart and I left him when my daughter was one. He hasn’t seen her since she was four.”
Her daughter said: “I have never known the true identity of my biological father.
“Mum was always honest and said it could be somebody else and not the man whose name is on my birth certificate. But I only recently discovered who that other man is.
“I am happy to have the DNA test to determine if Jimmy Savile is my father.”
Fears: This woman could be Jimmy Savile's daughter
Georgina, who is not seeking any compensation from Savile’s estate unlike other victims, is willing to tell police all about her time with him – including his sinister fixation with death.
She said: “He told me so many warped secrets and let me in on things I now realise are significant to detectives investigating what he did.
“I have tried to blot it out of my mind, but I can’t. I know more about him than the police know. He was obsessed with death and with the Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe.
“He would always tell me how he had to be careful, especially with the ‘birds’.
"When we went out in his car he would point out spots where dead bodies had been found and claim the Ripper had not been working alone.”
She said the pervert who liked to bite her sent a chill up her spine with one revelation.
“He told me he had been questioned by police after the body of a young girl was found near his home covered in bite marks,” said Georgina.
“Jimmy said they had made him hand over a sample bite mark. But he was always bragging about how he was protected and had people who looked after him.”
Georgina’s former boyfriend, 52, insisted he was her daughter’s father.
At his home near Pontefract, West Yorks, he said: “I don’t believe it. She looks just like me.
“I still talk to her on Facebook, although I haven’t seen her for 20 odd years. I never heard that she (Georgina) even knew Jimmy Savile.” _________________ --

Kakistocracy is defined as “rule by the worst.” Today on the program Dr. Tjeerd Andringa of the University of Groningen joins us to discuss his theory of how the kakistocracy uses child abuse to perpetuate their control, both over the victims of that abuse and its perpetrators. We also discuss what the vast majority of decent and moral people can do about this problem.

Abuse Survivor: UK Police Guarded As I Was Raped
Submitted by IWB, on May 26th, 2015
A woman has told Sky News how uniformed police officers stood guard as abusers sexually assaulted her as a young girl.
Waiving her right to anonymity, Esther Baker, 32, spoke exclusively to Sky News about her tormented childhood that saw her sexually abused by men at various locations.
She claimed police officers would stand guard for the perpetrators and on some occasions even joined in the abuse in woodland on Cannock Chase in Staffordshire.
She said: “I got the feeling very much that they were protecting somebody, that they were with one of the men.
“One of them (police officers) I knew from church. There were a few occasions where they would be in uniform, and I kind of knew, I learnt that when they were in uniform that it was going to be a rough night.

Royal family member was investigated as part of paedophile ring before cover-up, ex-cop says
The former officer claims the investigation was shut down for 'national security' reasons
JON STONE Author Biography Monday 23 March 2015
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/royal-family-member-was- investigated-as-part-of-paedophile-ring-before-coverup-excop-says-1012 6864.html
A member of the Royal family was claimed to be part of a suspected paedophile ring under investigation by police in the late 1980s, a former police officer has said.
The former Metropolitan Police officer says he was told by a detective sergeant that the investigation into the ring, which was also claimed to include an MP, was shut down for national security reasons.
“I was in a car with two other vice squad officers. … The detective sergeant said he had just had a major child abuse investigation shut down by the CPS regarding a royal and an MP,” he told the Sunday Mirror newspaper.
“He did not mention names, but he said the CPS had said it was not in the public’s interest because it ‘could destabilise national security’.”
The police officer identified the two colleagues, the newspaper said.
Sir Allan Green, the Director of Public Prosecutions and head of the CPS at the time the conversation took place, said he was not aware of any child abuse investigations shut down for national security reasons.
He however said he had been asked by a “senior person” if he had heard anything about a named MP being involved in child abuse. He said he had not.
The MP he was asked about has since died, Mr Green said..... _________________ --

More close links between the British Royal family and the VIPaedophile scandal
The murdered boy's father (who was allowing his son to be sexually abused) was chauffeur to the Australian High Commissioner who works directly to the royals
Three days after finishing work on Panorama documentary The Fake Sheikh Exposed, producer Meirion Jones was told his services were no longer required by the programme.
His previous job as head of investigations at Newsnight had been filled in his absence. He was effectively out of a job.
After 26 years at the BBC, Jones (pictured above, Reuters) felt like this career at the corporation had come to an end and he was being squeezed out.
Jones believes he was punished because he tried to expose the Jimmy Savile scandal at the BBC and spoke out about the way his Newsnight investigation of December 2011 was suppressed.
Liz MacKean, who worked on the Savile story with Jones, left after 23 years with the corporation in April last year. She also felt she no longer had a future with the BBC.
Speaking out in detail for the first time since he left the BBC in February, Jones paints a picture of a corporation which appears to have failed to learn the lessons of the biggest scandal in its history.
He believes those on the side of exposing the Savile scandal mistakes have been sidelined and encouraged to leave the corporation – while others involved in suppressing the Savile story have kept their jobs.
Jones says of his decision to leave the BBC: “I went to an employment lawyer. He said if you sue the BBC you will win and there will be no cap on it because it will be a whistleblower case.
“However it will take a year and the BBC will settle on the steps of the court. Do you want to put yourself through a year of that?
“I thought about it and I thought I'll take voluntary redundancy and go in that case.”
It was an ignominious end to a distinguished BBC career.
In 2010 he won the Daniel Pearl Award along with MacKean for exposing how oil company Trafigura dumped toxic waste in Africa.
His investigation into bogus bomb detectors sold to Iraq and Afghanistan with Caroline Hawley led to an export ban on the devices and a fraudster selling them to be jailed. It may have saved hundreds of lives by helping to get the useless “magic wand” devices taken out of circulation.
There are many more such examples, most recently the RTS award-nominated investigation into former News of the World reporter Mazher Mahmood broadcast last December.
Jones believes that all his scoops counted for nothing because in the eyes of some senior figures at the BBC he is a traitor.
“People said they won't sack you after Savile but they will make your life hell. Everyone involved on the right side of the Savile argument has been forced out of the BBC.”
Jones and MacKean were voices of dissent inside the BBC about the way their Jimmy Savile investigation for Newsnight came to be spiked. They spoke out to both the Pollard investigation and to colleagues who made a Panorama documentary called Savile: What the BBC Knew.
This was broadcast in October 2012, three weeks after ITV’s Exposure documentary finally revealed Savile was a serial sex offender.
Jones believes that Tom Giles, the Panorama editor behind “What the BBC Knew”, was also “squeezed out” of the corporation as punishment for a documentary which made uncomfortable viewing for BBC bosses.
In May 2014 Giles was moved from Panorama to a strategy role, described as creating a “blueprint to shape BBC Current Affairs for the future”. In May this year, he left the BBC to become controller of current affairs for ITV.
Jones says: “He was effectively told he wasn't going anywhere.”
He says that the Panorama on Savile “was very unpopular with management and very controversial. Lots of efforts were made to block that Panorama.
“Threats were made that if Liz and I co-operated we'd never work for the BBC again. All sorts of attempts were made to stop Panorama using our emails and material.”
Former BBC director of global news Peter Horrocks was put in charge of Savile coverage as the scandal unfolded in October 2012.
According to Jones, he “forced the programme through” and has also since been “squeezed out of the BBC”. He left the corporation earlier this year to head up the Open University.
MacKean told Press Gazette: “I didn’t feel encouraged to stay. I felt I would do better to work outside the BBC.
“There were still so many people who have been shown to be on the wrong side of the story who have stayed."
Jones says: “The last conversation I'd had with anyone from management was ‘we'll see if we can find something’.
“I wasn't going to be parked in some non-job. The BBC is quite happy to pay people to do nothing. That's not me. That's no fun.
“There is still sadly a small group of people at the BBC who think that the only problem with Savile was that it was exposed and if had stayed hushed up everything would be fine.”
According to Jones, one senior BBC executive stood outside Broadcasting House at the height of the Savile scandal and held forth to colleagues about Jones and MacKean, describing them as “traitors to the BBC”.
He says: “It's a small group of people but they are very powerful people who think we betrayed the BBC by not keeping out mouths shut.”
The Newsnight editor who took the decision to spike the Savile investigation, Peter Rippon, remains at the BBC and was moved sideways to become editor of the BBC online archive.
Helen Boaden, who was head of news at the time the Newsnight Savile report was suppressed, was moved to the equally senior job of head of radio.
Her deputy, Steve Mitchell, took early retirement after the Pollard report into the Savile scandal was published in December 2012.
James Hardy, the BBC head of communications for BBC News who said in an email to a colleague he would “drip poison” about Jones remains in his role. He suspected Jones had leaked stories about the Savile affair to the press in early 2012. This is something Jones emphatically denies.
Earlier this month, the original source for the Savile story – Karin Ward – won her libel case after being sued over comments she made to the BBC and ITV about Freddie Starr.
The BBC declined to offer her any financial support until the eve of the trial, leaving her to fight the case alone with the help of lawyers acting on a no-win, no-fee basis.
Jones believes the BBC reluctance to stand by Ward “shows anyone who was on the side of blowing the whistle about Savile the BBC have failed to support".
“It's an extraordinary thing for the BBC not to support a whistleblower who had appeared on a BBC programme. That's unprecedented as far as I know.
“Yet they left her hanging out in the wind for two years, I believe in the hope that she would be discredited in court. In fact the judge believed her totally.”
Had Ward lost her case, Jones believes the BBC would then have been able to say: “Peter Rippon made the right decision, he didn't feel her testimony could be relied on and that's been borne in court.
“I know that sounds like a conspiracy theory, but with everything that's happened I believe it.”
He adds: “If I was a whistleblower I would not go to the BBC now unless they announce a big change in their policy."
Newsnight investigation began days after Savile's death
Jones was led to the Savile story partly through a piece of luck. His aunt ran Duncroft School in Surrey, a secure approved school, and he saw Savile there 1970s. He recalled his parents having concerns about Savile’s access to teenage girls and his aunt saying: “It’s just Jimmy.”
Questions about Savile were aired by Lynn Barber in a 1990 interview for The Independent on Sunday when she asked him about the rumours he was “into little girls”.
The questions were raised again by a Louis Theroux in a 2001 documentary.
Then in early 2011, Ward published an autobiography on the website FanStory – which talked about abuse perpetrated by “JS”.
Jones says: “It was an absolute description of Duncroft as I'd known it. Ninety nine per cent of what she was describing there I knew.
“I'd seen Savile taking girls out in his Rolls Royce… Who is going to believe there was a place that's half jail and half country house?
“It was a mad, mad place. I knew all that was true, knew they'd gone to BBC. I only had a little bit more to believe.
“Anyone else would have thought she was a fantasist.”
Savile died on 29 October 2011, and the following Monday Jones began work on the Newsnight investigation.
Ward agreed to do an interview and the Newsnight team tracked down around 60 women who had attended Duncroft, and around dozen had stories about what happened to them.
They declined to go on camera, but agreed to have their stories told. One (who was not abused) gave an interview about incidents she had witnessed.
“By the time the story was pulled I thought we would end up with 100 victims and maybe ten institutions around the country…
“Sometimes you have arguments with your editor about whether you should do a story or not and its 55 one way and 45 the other.
“This was absolutely overwhelmingly that we had to do the story for so many reasons. It wasn't close. We were all absolutely convinced that this was a huge story.
“It went out to impact team at the BBC. They said it would be going out on every domestic outlet. It would be huge. They were gearing up to run packages on all radio programmes, on the news channel, the whole thing was gearing up for this massive impact.
“There was no question about the scale of this. The BBC knew this was a big story.
“When we got confirmation that the police had investigated him and interviewed him, he [Peter Rippon] said: ‘Right, we broadcast.’”
Broadcast was set for 7 December.
Then, on 1 December Jones was informed by Rippon that it would only be a story if it could be shown that the Crown Prosecution Service had erred by declining to charge Savile because he was too old. According to the Pollard report, this apparently followed a conversation between Rippon and Steve Mitchell.
After ten days of arguments between MacKean, Jones and Rippon, the final decision to kill the story was taken by Rippon on 9 December.
As Mitchell and Rippon were mulling whether or not to pull the Savile story, the BBC was promoting a Christmas schedule which included tributes to Jimmy Savile and a Boxing Day special edition of Jim’ll Fix It presented by Shane Richie.
Jones says: “Two trains were hurtling towards each other on the same line, the BBC either had to run all these tributes or it had to run the expose, it couldn't run both.”
Jones was confident that the story would come out anyway, because outside consultant Mark Williams-Thomas had all the evidence and could simply take it elsewhere (as he did with the ITV documentary which was aired in October 2012).
Jones is now writing a book about his time at the BBC and working as a freelance journalist.
He says: “I’m adjusting after a very long time at the BBC to not just being paid for being there.”
While he emphasises that there are “thousands of bloody good people” at the BBC, he also criticises what he describes as “a culture of presenteeism”.
“People just stay at the BBC and occupy desks. I’ve always wanted to do stuff that makes a difference, stories that shake things up. I don’t really see the point of just sitting there and doing nothing.
“I’m afraid there a lot of people that do that. There are a lot of great people at the BBC, but there a lot of people who are just filling desks.”
Outsiders sometimes wonder why, with around 5,000 journalists, BBC News does not break more stories.
Jones says: "That’s what I’ve always tried to do at Newsnight. It amazes me how little story-breaking there is.”
Why is that?
“It’s a deep-rooted culture of caution and also fear of putting your head above the parapet. If you do break stories you will get sued, you will get attacked in Parliament by people whose interests you have offended.
“There’s also a committee-itis at the BBC. There are committees and committees and committees. New Broadcasting House is full of those offices that are made fun of in W1A. They really exist. There are dozens of offices booked solid for meetings all day long every day.
“Everything is bogged down in meetings. People are promoted on the basis of how well they perform at meetings rather than on the product they produce.”
In general terms, Jones says the BBC is “shockingly badly managed”. But he adds: “To be fair it always has been from the time I’ve been there, from the 1980s onwards – its just badly managed in different ways.
“The main problem is that you don’t have a flat enough management structure. Managers are too far away from the output.”
He also says that the management structure is “very confused”, with Panorama, for instance, reporting in to managers in television, news and current affairs.
Asked what he thinks could change at the BBC to make it a more effective news organisation, he says: “Measure people by their output”.
“They always talk about encouraging original journalism but people are not rewarded for that. Not getting into trouble is a way of getting promoted. If you break stories the chances are you going to cause trouble. It’s the civil service element of the BBC.
“Because it’s such a large organisation. To some extent it works like the civil service in that you will inevitably rise if you don’t blot your copybook.”
Jones worries that Panorama under current editor Ceri Thomas has moved away from investigations and towards analysis.
The BBC is currently in the process of making all the programme’s staff reporters redundant, instead looking to make use of journalists from elsewhere in the BBC on a project by project basis.
Jones says: “If you are taking other reporters who happen to be in the building if they are good they don’t have enough time to do the Panorama properly because there are so many other demands on them.
“Or you get people who are not very good whose departments are happy to release them for as long as you want.”
Looking to the future, Jones believes the BBC should set up a dedicated investigations team to break stories: “If I was them I would put together a strong investigations unit of a dozen people and put real pressure on them to come up with stories.”
Press Gazette put Jones’ criticisms to the BBC.
A spokesperson said: "Meirion Jones has made his views known before and we have always been clear that nobody was forced out of the BBC for exposing the Savile scandal.
“The Pollard Report concluded, following a detailed investigation, that the decision to drop the initial investigation into Jimmy Savile was taken in good faith and not for any improper reason.”
PUBLISHED: 00:42, 9 July 2014 | UPDATED: 08:18, 9 July 2014
At least 20 high-profile members of the British Establishment formed a VIP paedophile ring that abused children for decades, a whistleblower claimed last night.
Peter McKelvie, 65, said senior politicians, military figures and even people linked to the Royal Family were among the alleged abusers.
The campaigner, who first raised the alarm about prominent individuals engaged in child sex abuse two years ago, said the conspiracy may have been going on for 65 years.
Speaking in public for the first time in 20 years, the former local authority child protection chief said there were still people in power who had been involved in child abuse two decades ago.
While working in Hereford and Worcester, he helped to convict notorious child abuser Peter Righton – once one of the country’s most respected authorities on child care.
Righton, who is now dead, was also a founding member of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) – which tried to decriminalise sex between children and adults, before he was convicted of importing child abuse images.
Mr McKelvie told police in 2012 that seven boxes of potential evidence about Righton were being stored by West Mercia Police, and that these might contain evidence of further abuse by senior members of the establishment.
He told the BBC: ‘For the last 30 years – and longer than that – there have been a number of allegations made by survivors that people at the top of very powerful institutions in this country, which include politicians, judges, senior military figures and even people that have links with the Royal Family, have been involved in the abuse of children.
‘At the most serious level, we’re talking about the brutal rape of young boys.’
Mr McKelvie said the child abusers made up a ‘small percentage’ of the British Establishment, but ‘a slightly larger percentage’ knew about it but did not report it to the police.
He said these people ‘felt that’ in terms of their own self-interest and self-preservation and for political party reasons, it has been safer for them to cover it up than deal with it.’
Child abuser Peter Righton was once one of the country¿s most respected authorities on child care
The retired civil servant said he had once tried to blow the whistle with a ‘very prominent figure’ in the Labour Party when the party was in opposition, but ‘nothing came of it’.
Mr McKelvie also took his concerns to Labour MP Tom Watson, who then raised the matter in Parliament two years ago.
His comments prompted the Scotland Yard inquiry known as Operation Fairbank, into claims of a paedophile network linked to Downing Street.
Speaking on the BBC’s Newsnight, Mr McKelvie added: ‘Over many years I’ve spoken to a considerable number of victims and most recently victims of perhaps the most powerful elite group of paedophiles.
‘Because the worst part of sexual abuse is the power that powerful people have over them. And they don’t believe that power can ever be broken.’
The evidence from West Mercia Police includes letters between Righton, who was a consultant to the National Children’s Bureau before he was unmasked, and other suspected paedophiles.
He welcomed the two inquiries ordered on Monday by Home Secretary Theresa May but said the allegations should have been taken up ‘a very long time ago’.
He said: ‘At last there is the very real prospect of survivors and victims having justice. I believe that there is strong evidence and an awful lot of information that can be converted into evidence if it is investigated properly.
'There has been an extremely powerful elite, among the highest levels of the political classes, for as long as I have been alive – and I am 65 now.
‘There has been sufficient reason to investigate it over and over again – certainly for the last 30 years – and there has always been the block, the cover-up and the collusion to prevent that.’
Parties must reveal what whips knew
The Lib Dems, Tories and Labour were last night forced to agree to trawl through their records for evidence that party whips covered up historic allegations of child abuse against MPs.
A senior civil servant last night insisted all public bodies – including political parties – should carry out a sweep of their documents for any evidence of a conspiracy of silence.
Mark Sedwill, permanent secretary at the Home Office, said ‘all bodies’ should carry out investigations to see whether they hold files or evidence relevant to a new, wide-ranging inquiry into historic paedophile allegations.
He told MPs on the Home Affairs Select Committee this included the offices of party whips – the senior MPs in charge of discipline in political parties. His intervention raises the prospect of current and former MPs who served as whips being questioned about what they knew of rumours or allegations against colleagues.
They have long been said to hold ‘little black books’ containing damaging information against colleagues they want to control.
Labour, the Tories and Lib Dems indicated last night that they would co-operate in full.
This week Labour MP Lisa Nandy raised in the Commons remarks by the late Conservative MP Tim Fortescue, who was a whip in Edward Heath’s government between 1970 and 1973.
He said in a 1995 documentary that MPs ‘in trouble’ would ask the whips’ office for help when in difficulty.
Mr Fortescue, who died aged 92 in 2008, claimed he could assist MPs with scandals, including those ‘involving small boys’, to exert control over them later and make sure they followed the party line.
He said: ‘For anyone with any sense, who was in trouble, would come to the whips and tell them the truth, and say now, “I’m in a jam, can you help?”.
‘We would do everything we can because we would store up Brownie points. That sounds a pretty, pretty nasty reason, but if we could get a chap out of trouble then he will do as we ask forever more.’
Former Conservative chief whip Mr Heath pioneered the keeping of a ‘dirt book’ about MPs’ private lives for his political advantage.
Conservative MP Mark Reckless suggested there should be checks to ensure that whips’ offices co-operated with any police inquiries into historic abuse allegations. He said a debate in the Nineties about whether whips’ notes were personal or government property had led to a new shredding procedure.
A Tory spokesman said: ‘Conservative whips will review their records and co-operate fully.’
Labour said: ‘We will do everything in our power to help the inquiry.’

On the week of new revelations about Tory Prime Minister Ted Heath...
What with all the media hype & no doubt protracted trials (most of which involve police not doing their job when first alerted then never being prosecuted for misconduct) around Kid's Company, Rolf Harris, Rotherham & a hundred other stories of child sexual abuse low down in the power structure... I think it's about time we reminded ourselves of the real deal here.
We are talking about hard evidence now of sexual abuse and murder of children by superstars, intelligence chiefs, top civil servants & political leaders, many of whom have not EVEN been named.
VIP paedophile ring 'abused teenage boy INSIDE Buckingham Palace and Balmoral Castle'
22:30, 29 NOVEMBER 2014 BY KEIR MUDIE , MARK WATTS
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/vip-paedophile-ring-abused-teenag e-4721479
The boy, then just 16, told how he was the victim of “exploitation of the highest order” - the claims could now be the subject of a police investigation
A teenage boy working at Buckingham Palace revealed he was groomed and sexually abused by a VIP paedophile ring there.
The lad was also assaulted at the Royal Family’s Scottish retreat Balmoral, according to shocking Home Office files, reports the Sunday People.
In a heartbreaking note, the boy – then just 16 – told how he was the victim of “exploitation of the highest order”.
The chilling claims could now be the subject of a police investigation into historic allegations of child sex abuse in the 1970s and 80s – linked to MPs and powerful figures.
The disturbing account was passed directly to the then Home Secretary Leon Brittan but he ruled it was “not practical” to investigate.
Campaigning Labour MP Tom Watson said: “I’m sure the Palace will want to co-operate with any inquiry.”
A Palace spokesman said: “The Royal Household takes any allegation of this nature seriously and would act to address any specific allegations or investigate specific information.”
Balmoral CastleShadow on castle: Balmoral, where staff allegedly heard the boy scream at night
The Sunday People and the investigations website Exaro have established that the Home Office file contains evidence of a letter written by the boy’s mother.
She wrote to campaigning MP Geoffrey Dickens, fearing that her son had been groomed by a paedophile ring while working at the Buckingham Palace kitchens.
The boy was 16 at the time, putting him below the age of homosexual consent which was then 21 in England.
In Scotland homosexuality was still totally illegal.
Mr Dickens said at the time: “The boy told his parents he had been sexually abused by members of the Royal Household at the Palace.
“I am concerned the Palace could be part of a chain supplying young men to paedophiles in the diplomatic service.”
British Labour MP Tom WatsonDemand: Labour MP Tom Watson is sure the Palace will co-operate with any inquiry
The 16-year-old went to work at the Palace in the early 1970s. After a few months his family noticed he was acting strangely.
A family friend told Exaro: “Things were OK when he first joined the Palace staff.
"After a few months, things started to turn a little strange.”
After what the source described as an “incident” at Balmoral, the royal family’s Scottish home, the boy’s parents were told by a close friend who also worked at Buckingham Palace that their son was being sexually abused there.
The source added: “They got wind of this after an incident at Balmoral when he screamed in the night.”
Concerned: Desperate parents wrote to MP Geoffrey Dickens for help
The concerned friend, who worked for the royals at the time, immediately alerted the boy’s parents.
He told them: “This is something that you should have nothing to do with.”
Reports from the time reveal further details of the boy’s ordeal.
One says his parents discovered a handwritten note from him.
It read: “What Buckingham Palace did for me was exploitation of the highest order.”
The boy’s mother said at the time: “My son was happy and normal until he went there.
"Then he changed completely. He refused to talk to us or discuss what he was up to.”
Employer: Buckingham Palace
The boy’s father also claimed that young Palace staff were lavished with expensive gifts for “entertaining men”.
He added: “In some cases Palace officials were involved.
“Afterwards, the servants got good references to take up posts abroad with wealthy employers.”
According to the Home Office files, the desperate parents wrote to Geoffrey Dickens for help.
The MP raised the mother’s concerns with the Home Secretary in 1983.
But Mr Dickens received a reply saying Leon Brittan felt it would not be practical to carry out a detailed investigation.
He wrote: “I need hardly assure you that the Royal Household is extremely concerned at these unsubstantiated allegations and it is, of course, their policy to take every step to avoid an occurrence of such as is alleged.
Deputy head of MI5 Peter HaymanDeputy: The 16-year-old was approached by notorious paedophile Sir Peter Hayman
There is nobody currently employed in the Royal Household who is under the age of 18.”
Mr Brittan indicated that her son had worked at Buckingham Palace for a year, adding: “It is extremely difficult to comment on the accuracy of the allegations in the letter.”
But an even more chilling development is contained in the files, lending weight to the claims that a paedophile VIP ring was linked to the Palace.
During his time at Buckingham Palace, the 16-year-old was approached by notorious paedophile Sir Peter Hayman and was asked to work for him in Canada, where he was ambassador.
Hayman has been identified as a member of the VIP paedophile ring operating in Westminster and is known to have had royal connections.

He was desperate to have the boy working for him, even writing to his parents to ask them about taking his son on as a footman. Hayman said the boy would need winter clothes.
The parents never found out how Hayman knew their son.
But the source said: “They knew there was something wrong.”
The parents were so concerned by Hayman’s approach that they attempted to stop their son working for him, the family friend explained.
Exaro has established that the boy’s parents intervened to stop him going to Canada to work for Hayman.
Mr Watson, who has led the campaign for a full-scale inquiry into claims of child sex abuse at the heart of the Establishment, said: “In light of what we now know, any allegation of sexual crimes regarding Peter Hayman should be thoroughly investigated.
“He was protected by the Establishment at the time.
“The full extent of how his conduct was covered up has not been explained.”
Leon Brittan MPMP: Leon Brittan felt it would not be practical to carry out a detailed investigation
The parents and their son have declined to comment on the allegations.
But the revelations link Buckingham Palace to a paedophile network of MPs and powerful figures that operated over many years in the UK.
Palace officials have already been linked to the notorious brothel the Elm Guest House in South West London.
Police are investigating archives on Hayman in a bid to find his links to other Establishment paedophiles.
"An abuse survivor, known as “Nick” to protect his identity, named one of his many VIP attackers as Hayman.
Nick picked Hayman out from a collection of pictures that Exaro showed to him, placing him at abuse parties with other paedophiles.
An appendix to a review by the Home Office last year reveals one of their missing files was called: “Sir Peter Hayman (1980-81 Papers Ex-Diplomat’s Intriguing Private Life).”
A vanished file and troubling claims about Heath and young musicians: There's no smoking gun. But after a week of shocking headlines, the Mail's unearthed fresh allegations
Edward Heath was linked to allegations of historic paedophile abuse early this week
Claims have also been made of a cover-up by members of the British political establishment
A file related to Heath and Paedophile Information Exchange group discovered missing
Now new sex allegations have emerged centring on European Community Youth Orchestra
By RICHARD PENDLEBURY and STEPHEN WRIGHT FOR THE DAILY MAIL
The late spring of 1978, and in a sunlit rehearsal hall a stout, shirt-sleeved figure, familiar from a quite different setting, is conducting a new orchestra of young musicians.
Roaring and flailing as his proteges run through Ode To Joy from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, former British prime minister Edward Heath is clearly in his element.
‘That’s much better strings … much better!’ he enthuses. Afterwards, he tells a television crew which had been filming the event: ‘The orchestra here has a saying — “Tell them the Community isn’t only about the price of fish: it is about Beethoven and Brahms.”’
An odd comment you might think, if you did not know the political context. The ensemble in question was the European Community Youth Orchestra, and it was about to embark on its inaugural tour of EEC capitals. It was to be a flagship for pan-European cultural co-operation.
The 135 musicians, some of whom were as young as 14, were drawn from the then nine member nations. Heath, an enthusiastic amateur musician who had led the United Kingdom into the European Community five years before, was the orchestra’s founding president. He would also be its guest conductor for that tour and several tours to come.
Today, the orchestra he helped found — now named the European Union Youth Orchestra — goes from strength to strength. But the reputation of the man himself, who died aged 89 in 2005, is being posthumously trashed. Early this week, Heath’s name was formally attached to the wide-ranging allegations of historic paedophile abuse and cover-up by members of the British political establishment.
Within days he had become the focus of investigations by no fewer than seven different police forces examining historic allegations — Hampshire, Jersey, Kent, Wiltshire, Thames Valley, Gloucestershire and the Metropolitan Police — after it was claimed that the early 1990s trial of a Wiltshire brothel madam was dropped when she threatened to claim in court that rent boys had been supplied to the ex-prime minister. The Independent Police Complaints Commission is to examine the allegation, made by a former senior police officer.
Seven police forces are investigating after it was claimed that the early 1990s trial of brothel madam Ling-Ling was dropped when she threatened to claim in court that rent boys had been supplied to the ex-prime minister
The barrister who was to prosecute the brothel keeper — a Filipina called Myra Ling-Ling Forde — confirmed in a letter to The Times on Thursday that she had indeed made the threat, but it was not the reason the trial was halted.
Earlier in the week, it emerged that a man had also claimed that in 1961, when he was 12 years old, he had been raped by Heath at the politician’s Mayfair flat. A further allegation that Heath was part of a VIP paedophile and child murder ring that operated in London’s Dolphin Square was subsequently aired.
In an intriguing development, the Mail learned this week that a file relating to Sir Edward and the infamous Paedophile Information Exchange group is one of those missing from official Government records.
It is among 114 missing files concerning child abuse identified by an independent review of how allegations were handled by the Home Office.
The title of the missing document, ‘Edward Heath MP [redacted] RE: PIE’, refers to the activities of the Paedophile Information Exchange.
Investigators discovered that the file disappeared more than 25 years ago after being moved to a Westminster record centre. They concluded that there was no evidence of any orchestrated attempts by officials over three decades to cover up child abuse.
But the unexpected absence of the file raises questions about the exact nature of the connection between Heath and the PIE group.
The only surviving record of its existence, a brief index, suggests it is linked to an individual Parliamentary question. Officials suspect the document was destroyed during a routine purge of documents after it was moved to the Queen Anne’s Gate record centre in March 1990.
One of the most remarkable manifestations of this week’s hue and cry was the sight of a senior Wiltshire police officer making a televised appeal for ‘victims’ to come forward and ‘suffer in silence’ no longer, from outside the gates of Heath’s palatial former home in the shadow of Salisbury Cathedral.
Such grandstanding was criticised yesterday by Britain’s most senior policeman, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, who said he did not believe Heath should have been named while unproven allegations were being investigated.
Today, we shall examine the credibility or otherwise of this ever-expanding swirl of rumour and allegation.
Suffice to say they are now being chased by internet conspiracy theorists as well as those multiple police forces — the latter anxious not to repeat the mistakes or failures which saw men such as Jimmy Savile and Cyril Smith MP go unprosecuted when there was clear and extensive evidence of paedophile activity over several decades.
In the course of the Mail’s own investigations this week, further new allegations of sexual abuse and possible official cover-up concerning Sir Edward have come to light. They centre on his relationship with the European Community Youth Orchestra.
A retired senior police officer, who served with several southern forces including Wiltshire, told the Mail that there were ‘always rumours’ about Heath, the former MP for Bexley.
The policeman — a widely respected officer with a distinguished career — asked that due to the sensitivities of the Heath investigations, he remain anonymous. He told us that the rumours did not come with any specific evidence against the former PM.
But he went on: ‘The exception were several allegations made against him in his role with the European Youth Orchestra. I understand there were credible claims that Heath indecently assaulted young people on tours to the Continent which he was leading.
‘These tours took place in the late 1970s or early 1980s.
‘It was never clear how old the victims were, or exactly what happened, and what was alleged was not at the top end of the scale of criminality.
‘Why these were never investigated I cannot say. I suspect it is because they took place overseas and the victims were from other countries.’
As Heath, the son of a carpenter, rose through the ranks of the Tory Party on the way to becoming leader, the prickly and enigmatic bachelor became the subject of gossip concerning his private life and sexual orientation. In his 1998 autobiography, The Course Of My Life, Heath intimated that he had once been close to a young woman called Kay Raven. Separated by war service and work, he explained, she suddenly announced that she was marrying someone else.
Heath wrote: ‘I was saddened by this … I had taken too much for granted.’
This was the only suggestion of a close personal relationship.
Others believed that he was in fact homosexual but had suppressed his inclinations in order to advance his career, given that homosexual acts between two consenting adult men over the age of 21 were only decriminalised in 1967.
By then Heath had turned 50 years of age, had been an MP for 17 years and Leader of the Opposition for two. Britain was not ready for an openly gay MP, let alone prime minister.
A 1993 biography, published while Heath was alive, explored the subject but decided there was no ‘positive evidence’ that Heath was gay.
After his death, others were bolder. In 2007, Brian Colemen, a gay Tory member of the London Assembly, alleged that in the 1950s Heath had been warned by police to stop picking up men in public lavatories, though he did not produce evidence to support the allegation.
Yet Heath’s official biographer, Philip Ziegler, wrote that he found there was no evidence of homosexual leanings. In fact, the politician could well have been ‘asexual’.
What is not disputed is Heath’s love of music. Critics said that his attempts to master playing the organ and conducting an orchestra betrayed his chilly self-importance. (Two of his eight Desert Island disc choices were recordings of his own conducting, and when on an official visit to Rome, he gave as a present to the Pope recordings of himself with the London Symphony Orchestra.)
After losing power in 1974, Heath continued to explore ways of combining his politics with his music. The solution came in the form of the Youth Orchestra, which was first mooted in 1976. ‘I had long felt the need for the Community to extend its activities beyond political and commercial affairs,’ he wrote in his autobiography. ‘This is possible with music because it is a single common language.’
Auditions were held in the autumn of 1977, with Heath on the panel of judges. More than 1,000 young Britons aged between 13 and 22 applied for a place. In the end, they made up almost one-third of the complement of the first orchestra.
At each concert in that first tour, Heath conducted the overture, which consisted of the national anthem of the host country and the anthem of Europe, Ode To Joy.
So could he have assaulted some of the young musicians, as the former police officer suggested this week?
The Mail has contacted a number of British former members of the early orchestra, none of whom recalled being aware of anything untoward involving their famous conductor.
One violinist who joined at its inception described Heath as a remote figure whose Special Branch protection officers discouraged the young musicians from approaching him off stage.
Of course, Heath being a very private man did not mean he was necessarily hiding an outrageous secret. Nor did being gay mean that he had a predilection for underage boys. Indeed, much of what has been alleged this week is questionable in the extreme. But that is not to say there may not be some truth in some of the allegations.
Former Fleet Street journalist Alun Rees, who spent 20 years investigating the PIE, told this newspaper that Heath’s name had appeared in a dossier of Westminster paedophiles compiled by the controversial Tory MP Geoffrey Dickens, who made a number of allegations about sex abuse among the political elite during the 1980s.
Meanwhile, award-winning local journalist Don Hale, long-time editor of the Bury Messenger, says that he was approached in 1984 by Labour Party grandee and child protection campaigner Barbara Castle, with what he understood to be a feature from the Magpie magazine published by the PIE group.
It was, he told us this week, ‘about Heath offering weekend trips for boys from Jersey on his yacht. Heath had a number of racing craft named Morning Cloud.
‘She deliberately showed me this and asked what I thought. I was a little confused and asked her “You don’t mean [this is true]?” — and she nodded, and said yes.’
Again, not conclusive.
Heath took up competitive yachting in the mid-Sixties, on the advice of Tory image-makers who wanted him to have public interests which went beyond classical music.
As the Mail reported this week, the timeline of his involvement with sailing undermines the claims of the man previously mentioned who says he was raped in 1961 by Heath in a London flat in which yachting pictures were hung on the walls. Heath did not take up the sport until years after the alleged rape.
Allegations that Heath may have taken boys aboard his yacht now appear to be at the centre of the Jersey police interest in him.

A public inquiry into historic abuse of children within the island’s residential care system began last year. A police investigation had recorded 553 alleged offences, more than half of which were committed at Haut de la Garenne Children’s Home.
The internet is now awash with sensational allegations that Heath invited boys from Haut de la Garenne for pleasure trips on his boat. Once aboard, they were abused and, the more outre accusers say, murdered and their bodies thrown overboard.
Yesterday’s Daily Mirror carried a report about a woman named Linda Corby, who claims that in the early 1970s she saw 11 boys aged between six and 11 — from the notorious Haut de la Garenne home — board Heath’s yacht, but that when they returned hours later from a sailing trip, only ten children disembarked.
Ms Corby, an author, claimed that when she went to the police to make a statement a few days later, along with a local politician who had also been a witness, officers told her ‘someone above’ had told them not to investigate.
It is not clear if there is any independent evidence to back up her claim.
One person who could not be relied upon to give truthful evidence is the woman who sparked this week’s furore, the former Salisbury brothel keeper ‘Madame Ling-Ling’, who is alleged to have threatened to expose the former prime minister as a paedophile — a suggestion she denies.
She was once described by a judge as being a ‘thoroughly unscrupulous’ person, when she was jailed for forcing children as young as 13 to work after school in her brothel, a mile from Sir Edward’s mansion, which he bought in 1985.
A former associate of Madame Ling-Ling called her a ‘compulsive liar’.
Yesterday, Myra Ling-Ling Forde — aka Madame Ling-Ling — confirmed she was due to be interviewed by Scotland Yard detectives. Speaking outside her flat in North-West London, she went on to claim that she had a cache of papers containing ‘all the names’ which she would make available to investigators.
The 67-year-old initially said she had been told not to speak about the scandal.
She continued: ‘I was told strictly by my solicitor, because I can’t — I am going to be interviewed by Scotland Yard.’
Asked if the interview was in connection with the Ted Heath probe, she replied: ‘Yes.’
‘They will know everything because of the papers’, she continued. ‘Not newspapers. Papers from the trial. I have them all in a pile, a pile of papers from when I went to court. All the names and everything.’

One is minded to believe that when she was facing trial in 1992, she brought the rough and ready survival instincts of the Manila back streets from which she emerged to bear on a sleepy English cathedral city and a famous man who had long been a target of rumour. And yet now those rumours won’t go away.
A few days ago, a second retired police officer contacted this newspaper. Though because of the sensitive nature of the unfolding investigation he did not want to be named, he recalled being at a CID course at the Hendon police college in June 1978 — the time that Heath was embarking on the first youth orchestra tour.
His class was being addressed by a lawyer from the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (then Sir Thomas Hetherington).
The speaker having invited questions from the floor, one officer, known to be a detective sergeant in Special Branch — the police arm of the security services — stood up and asked: ‘As we have a file on Edward Heath, why hasn’t he been prosecuted for young boys?’
The man from the DPP hastily ducked the question, the former detective recalls.
This week, the questions about Sir Edward Heath came thick and fast. Yet it should be reiterated that nothing which has yet been unearthed amounts to solid evidence that the former Tory leader committed any offences whatsoever.
Edward Heath fixed it for Jimmy Savile to receive OBE and attended Paedophile Information Exchange meetings
Edward Heath backed paedophile Jimmy Savile for a royal honour – two years after the previous Prime Minister warned the Queen against it, reports the Sunday People.
Savile was passed over for an MBE a month before the former Conservative leader moved into No10, the Sunday People can reveal.
But less than two years after Heath took office, the TV presenter – exposed after his death as a serial child-sex abuser – was awarded the HIGHER honour of an OBE.
Heath later appeared on Savile’s BBC TV show Jim’ll Fix It when it was one of the nation’s favourites.
We can also reveal that Heath, under investigation by seven police forces over child abuse claims, was present at more than half a dozen Westminster meetings of the notorious Paedophile Information Exchange.
Government files show that in May 1970 the Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson did “not wish to submit the name of Mr Jimmy Savile for an MBE in the Birthday List”.
Heath took office weeks later after a June General Election and stayed in power until 1974.
And records reveal how Savile was put forward for an OBE midway through Heath’s stint as PM.
The award was made in the New Year’s Honours List of 1972.
Top of the Pops presenter Savile officially received the honour in March of that year.

WHat hapened about this? Sweet FA. Another useless police force that don't care about VIP state criminals in their midst
Police face quiz over Savile 'club'
Serving police officers who took part in disgraced BBC presenter Jimmy Savile's "breakfast club" meetings at his home are to be quizzed by West Yorkshire Police, the force has confirmed.
PUBLISHED: 19:43, Thu, Feb 28, 2013 | UPDATED: 05:45, Fri, Mar 1, 2013
http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/380929/Police-face-quiz-over-Savile-c lub
It said it has "identified some individuals who were in the so-called Friday Morning Breakfast Club" - a weekly gathering of the late Top of the Pops host's friends at his Leeds penthouse.
In October, West Yorkshire Police said it had no information about officers attending the gathering but that they were free to do what they wished when off duty.
However, on Thursday a force spokesman said police did attend, and while there is no evidence of any wrongdoing by the officers - some of whom are still serving - they are being questioned to find out more about the meetings.
The spokesman added: "Local officers working in the community were invited by Savile to his home for a coffee.
"At that time the force was encouraging community officers to interact more with residents in their area.
"The officers usually visited on a Friday. It was usual for other friends of Savile to be present drinking coffee and chatting.
"They have explained their attendance and we reiterate that there has been no evidence forthcoming of any wrongdoing by any West Yorkshire Police employee, past or current.
"However we are now carrying out further inquiries to obtain a better understanding of the circumstances surrounding the contact between West Yorkshire Police officers and Savile at the so-called Friday Morning Breakfast Club."
The Mail revealed yesterday that the Labour peer is at the centre of an investigation into claims he abused a teenage boy in Scotland in the 1970s.
Today it can be revealed that senior personnel running the Scottish judicial and prosecution service at the time the complaint was made against the peer were key figures in the so-called ‘magic circle’ scandal of the early 1990s.
It centred around claims that top Scottish judges, sheriffs and advocates had been compromised by gay liaisons. But this is now believed to have been a smokescreen for a paedophile ring operating in the heart of Edinburgh’s legal establishment – claims which are also under police investigation.
Police in Scotland have launched a probe into whether a complaint made against Lord Janner in 1991 was properly dealt with. It yesterday piled pressure on the Crown Prosecution Service in England to reconsider a decision not to charge him with other alleged child sex crimes, on the grounds he has dementia.
Lord Janner’s family have issued a statement insisting he is ‘entirely innocent of any wrongdoing’.
One of his alleged victims claimed the ex-MP took him to Scotland in the 1970s, and that during the trip he was subjected to serious sexual assaults. That alleged victim made a report at an Edinburgh police station in 1991. But the Crown Office – Scotland’s prosecution service – maintains that its officials did not receive a report about the claims.
The Mail revealed yesterday police in Scotland spent several weeks combing through archives and have now found documents relating to the case – sparking a renewed investigation.
British justice is rotten to the core, writes MP Simon Danczuk
Sir William Sutherland, 81, who was in charge of the now-defunct Lothian and Borders Police at that time of the Scottish inquiry, told the Mail last night that he could not recall the complaint, adding: ‘When I retired, that door was closed.’

Under Sir William’s command, the force was rocked by the ‘Fettesgate’ controversy, which saw a highly sensitive report on the magic circle scandal stolen from the force headquarters. Lord Janner, 86, has been told that if it were not for his illness, he would have been charged with 22 historical child sex offences.
Some of the central figures in charge of police and prosecution service at the time of the Lord Janner complaint in Scotland were to become mired in the ‘magic circle’ scandal.
Lord Rodger, later Scotland’s top judge, announced an inquiry into the magic circle allegations in 1992, after he had become Lord Advocate.
That inquiry ultimately found there was no evidence to support claims of a conspiracy in the justice system. _________________ --

The BBC’s creative director accused the journalists who exposed the corporation’s cover-up of Jimmy Savile’s crimes of being “traitors”, the former Newsnight investigations head claims.
According to Meirion Jones, Alan Yentob made the alleged comment about him and Liz MacKean to a colleague after they contributed to the Panorama exposé “Savile – What The BBC Knew”.
Mr Jones and Ms MacKean led the 2011 Newsnight investigation into Savile’s sex abuse, which was blocked from broadcast by BBC bosses.

The programme revealed the organisation’s attempts to stop Newsnight exposing Savile as a paedophile who carried out attacks on BBC premises.
“A BBC colleague abused as a child wrote to Tony Hall [director general] to complain about the Savile affair,” Mr Jones told Spectator Life magazine.
“In his email, he says he approached Yentob just after Panorama broadcast a film about whether or not there had been a cover-up at the BBC.
"He claims that Yentob denounced us. ‘Liz MacKean and Meirion Jones are traitors to the BBC,’ Yentob told him.”
The BBC’s decision to shelve Newsnight's Savile documentary plunged the corporation into one of the biggest crises in its history, and led to its then director general, George Entwistle, losing his job.
Mr Yentob, 68, denies making the comment. A BBC spokesman said: “Alan says this is categorically not true."
Liz MacKean and Meirion Jones, who worked on the dropped Newsnight investigation of Jimmy Savile, say the Pollard report found the decision to axe their programme was "flawed".

It is understood that Mr Yentob will be quizzed by the BBC’s sex abuse inquiry over the Louis Theroux film “When Louis Met Jimmy” in which the DJ failed to deny that he was a child abuser.
Mr Yentob was the BBC's director of television at the time of the Theroux documentary, but has denied having any involvement in the commissioning or production of the programme.
Tory MP Philip Davies told the Daily Mail that, if correct, the revelation made Mr Yentob’s position and salary, thought to be around £330,000-a-year, “untenable”.
Mr Jones said Mr Yentob’s attempts to intervene with the BBC’s coverage of the Kids Company charity was reminiscent of the BBC’s cover-up of the Savile scandal.
The charity founder Camila Batmanghelidjh
He said it was “abundantly clear” that Mr Yentob should not have been “haranguing” reporters about the charity which he chaired.
The former Newsnight producer went on: “Some involved in the present showdown even feared that, if they persevered, they might be forced to leave the BBC, as Liz and I had done, and the parallels with our battle with management over Savile were obvious.”
Mr Yentob admitted that he had intervened over the broadcaster’s coverage of the Kids Company collapse. He said he had demanded to know why the Newsnight programme had not given the charity a right of reply in its report.
• Panorama investigates Newsnight decision to drop Jimmy Savile probe
• Pressure growing on Alan Yentob and fellow trustees after Kids Company closure
Mr Yentob will be grilled by MPs over the collapse of Kids Company at the public administration and constitutional affairs select committee next month.
A BBC spokesman said: “The fact that the BBC broke this story shows that our journalism has been impartial and in the public interest.
“Everyone knows that Alan Yentob is the Creative Director of the BBC and doesn't have any editorial control over BBC News. He is chair of Kids Company and can speak to media outlets about issues related to them.”
The spokesman added that it would be inappropriate to comment on Dame Janet Smith’s inquiry until the Review publishes its report. _________________ www.lawyerscommitteefor9-11inquiry.org www.rethink911.org www.patriotsquestion911.com www.actorsandartistsfor911truth.org www.mediafor911truth.org www.pilotsfor911truth.org www.mp911truth.org www.ae911truth.org www.rl911truth.org www.stj911.org www.v911t.org www.thisweek.org.uk www.abolishwar.org.uk www.elementary.org.uk www.radio4all.net/index.php/contributor/2149 http://utangente.free.fr/2003/media2003.pdf

THE LOUSE & THE FLEA: PANORAMA, EXARO & THE VIP PAEDOPHILE SAGA
In 1812, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their first volume of fairy tales, Kinder- und Hausmärchen. Tale Number 30 told the story of The Louse and The Flea.
http://timtate.co.uk/category/blog/
In the tale, a flea and a louse happily share a home until one day the louse dies while brewing beer in an eggshell. What follows is a chain reaction of catastrophe, as the flea and then various household objects get dragged into a downward spiral. This eventually envelops a human child and a stream; finally the water from the stream overflows and drowns the flea, the louse, the child and everything in the little house.
Yesterday, news and social media were swamped by the latest row in the highly politicised saga of investigations into an alleged network of VIP paedophiles. The cause was a much-delayed one-hour Panorama programme which purported to answer the question “What’s The Truth ?”
Panorama sought to examine these allegations – of which more shortly – and, more specifically, how they came to dominate the news, social media and police agendas over the past 18 months. Doing so brought it squarely into conflict with Exaro News – a self-proclaimed online “investigative news service”. Exaro has made most of the running in the VIP paedophile saga and, in happier times, the BBC itself had maintained a working relationship with its journalists.
The BBC programme makers’ decision to investigate the origins of what , lest we forget, is a very expensive police enquiry, produced howls of outrage from Exaro and its supporters. Exaro’s grandly-styled Editor-in-Chief, Mark Watts, took to Twitter to denounce the film (which he had not seen) as a plan “to smear survivors of child sex abuse”; for good measure he accused the Panorama reporter, Daniel Foggo, of having a “conflict of interest” on the extraordinary grounds that as a child he (Foggo) had lived on the same street as Sir Peter Morrison, a deceased Tory MP who unquestionably had a sexual interest in children.
Just as the sequential disaster unleashed by the louse and the flea expanded exponentially, so too did the battle between Exaro and the BBC draw in new players. Exaro reported that the Metropolitan Police has launched an investigation into allegations that one of its officers leaked to Panorama personal information about the key complainants in the VIP paedophile saga; the Met followed this up with an additional statement denouncing the programme for its potential to deter victims of abuse from coming forward. And to cap it all, MPs who had once campaigned for better child abuse investigation found themselves pointing fingers of blame at each other.
Before examining the behaviour of Exaro and the BBC it is worth recalling the key allegations in this tale.
According to a witness known only as “Nick”, he and other under-age boys were abused, tortured and – in three cases – murdered by a group of paedophiles at two addresses in London. Among the men he has named are former Prime Minister Edward Heath, former Home Secretary Leon Brittan, former Conservative MP Harvey Proctor, as well as senior army officers and spies. These allegations are being investigated by Operation Midland. (Mr Proctor, for the record, roundly denounced the allegations at a televised press conference in August).
The broad thrust of “Nick’s” claims is alleged by Exaro to have been supported by a man known only as “Darren”, and a woman (who has waived her right to anonymity) called Esther Baker.
Beyond Midland’s remit is another police enquiry – Operation Fernbridge (formerly Fernbank). This has was set up to examine (primarily) allegations that in the late 1970s or early 1980s children were taken from council-run care homes to be abused at the Elm Guest House in Barnes, South-West London. In or around 2012 what purported to be a “guest list” of clients at EGH was put up on the internet. It contained a number of famous names including Cyril Smith MP (then deceased and recently-outed as an abuser of boys) and Leon Brittan.
Declaration of interest: in 2013 and 2014 I met and interviewed senior detectives from Operation Fairbank/Fernbridge. I was not the only journalist to do so: the officers were – then – remarkably open and honest about the task they had been set. And it was a very difficult task. From the outset, Fairbank/Fernbridge was hampered by two serious problems. The first was one of resources: its team was very small – just seven officers – and struggled to get the financial resources to carry out its enquiries. The second was Exaro News and the group of informants which had coalesced around it.
Two of the key figures in this were a former social worker called Chris Fay and a deeply-damaged man who, after meeting Fay, had first made allegations about abuse by VIPs at EGH in the early 1990s.
Fay had met Carole Kasir, the co-owner of EGH, in or around 1989 – seven years after the guest house was raided and shut down. After Kasir died Fay began campaigning to expose what he claimed she had told him about politicians and celebrities who abused children at the premises. He claimed Kasir had shown him a list of names: he copied this down and, in time, it would become the “guest list” whose posting on the internet led to Fairbank/Fernbridge. He also alleged that Kasir had shown him photographs of her clients, including two showing Leon Brittan in compromising circumstances.
Unfortunately, Fay has never been able produce these photographs. Worse, he has both a conviction for serious dishonesty, and a habit of associating himself with proponents of extraordinarily wild conspiracy theories (notably the bizarre “film-maker”, Bill Maloney).
Fairbank/Fernbridge detectives interviewed Fay. They quickly came to the (correct) view that the so-called EGH “guest list” had no evidential value, since it was hearsay, not created by a first-hand witness to events and had no reliable chain of custody. They also interviewed the man who had taken up with Fay in the early 1990s. This man – then calling himself “Andrew” – had published versions of his stories on-line. He proved to be a voluble – and volatile – witness. When I first met the officers from Fairbank/Fernbridge they were in the middle of conducting a succession of very long interviews with him at a location several hundred miles outside London. The detectives were convinced that “Andrew” had indeed endured sexual abuse as a child, but were concerned at serious inconsistencies in his statements.
They were also deeply worried about the continuing involvement of Fay and Maloney – and, with Fay’s help, of Exaro News. “Andrew” told the officers that these contacts were unwelcome and being forced on him by Fay. They moved Andrew to a safe house and set up surveillance: the senior officer told me that he if Fay and Maloney turned up he planned to arrest them for attempting to pervert the course of justice. But the surveillance revealed something different. It showed that “Andrew” was inviting Fay and Maloney to meet with him. Not unreasonably, this raised further doubts about “Andrew’s” reliability.
That problem was further underlined by a story in Exaro. This claimed that Fairbank/Fernbridge had seized a videotape which showed an ex-Cabinet minister (although he was not named this was clearly Leon Brittan) in compromising circumstances at Elm Guest House.
I spoke with the detectives the day after this story appeared. Not only did they deny it point blank, they explained how it had come about. “Andrew” had told Exaro that a senior Fairbank/Fernbridge detective had told him that the team had seized the video. Exaro did not bother to check this claim with the police. It would not be the last time Exaro published unchecked or downright false stories about the VIP paedophile enquiries.
Exaro’s journalists were contacted by “Nick” in 2014. The news website began running a series of stories based on his claims. At that stage it had no corroboration of any sort for the allegations. I – and others – have repeatedly asked Mark Watts whether it attempted any sort of due diligence investigation before publishing. He has never replied. However, the website’s journalists have dropped hints that there was a corroborative source: the man known as “Andrew”.
Doubts about Exaro’s methods were re-enforced by two separate events. The first was the long strange saga of Leon Brittan and the Customs Officer. A full account of this can be found on this blog, dated August 4: but in essence, Exaro published a story claiming that a retired Customs officer had been recording telling a journalist that in 1982 he had impounded a film and/or video which showed Brittan in sexual circumstances with a child.
The story was simply and pitifully untrue. When the recording surfaced, it showed clearly that the journalist (working for the Express) had tried but failed to get the ex-customs officer to confirm this allegation. He did not do so. Exaro’s reaction to being challenged on this (and on its other ‘scoops’) has been to denounce those who ask questions as “spies” or “useful idiots” for the intelligence services. For good measure it pronounced me to be “a disgrace to journalism”.
The second event was the arrival in the sage of a man known as “Darren”. The stories he told were similar to those of “Nick”, and involved some of the same perpetrators and locations. Exaro duly decided that even though (by “Darren’s own admission) the abuse he endured took place a decade later than “Nick’s”, this provided corroboration of Nick’s claims of abuse, torture and murder.
How much due diligence did Exaro devote to checking “Darren” out ? Mark Watts does not reply to such questions, but had he or his staff done any research they would have discovered that “Darren” has a conviction for a bomb hoax and has previously made false confessions to rape and murder. This does not automatically mean he cannot be believed: it should, however, raise questions about how much reliance can be placed on his evidence. Despite this, Exaro arranged for “Darren” and others in its stable of complainants to take part in an Australian television programme on the VIP paedophile alegations. That film presented their claims as established fact and was the worst piece of reporting on child sexual abuse allegations (a crowded field) that I have ever seen.
If, pace the Grimms, Exaro is the louse in the story, what of the BBC ? Despite the outraged denunciations of the past two days, the Panorama programme was actually something of a damp squib. It provided very little new information, merely repeating the widely-published facts about Mssrs Fay, Watts, “Nick” and “Darren”. And had it confined itself to that tepid ‘once over lightly” it might not have been drawn into the spiral of calamity begun by the lousy efforts of Exaro. Sadly, it did not.
Firstly, it conducted an interview with “Andrew” (now re-christened as “David”) in which he said that he had never intended to name Leon Brittan, but that the name had been suggested to him by Fay and others. In purely procedural terms the Panorama team did everything right: it shot “David/Andrew” in semi-silhouette and used an actor to re-voice his words so that there could no fear of identifying him. It also – rightly – reported at least some of his lamentable history of unreliability and (again righty) wondered aloud whether this invalidated his testimony. And there lies the problem: Panorama relied on what it acknowledged was a highly unreliable witness to demolish the foundations of Exaro’s equally questionable stable of complainants. The flea was dragged into the louse’s spiral.
But Panorama’s worst offence concerned Brittan himself. It wheeled out testimony from former colleagues of the late politician to portray him as a man terribly and wrongly traduced as a paedophile.
Yet as Panorama knows (or should know) there is strong evidence to indicate that Brittan had a sexual interest in children. As I have reported elsewhere, tucked in the files of Operation Fairbank/Fernbridge is a formal 2014 statement from the ex-customs officer. This, of course, denounces Exaro’s bogus story about the 1982 videos and films; but it also contains the startling – and detailed – account of how at a later date the ex-customs officer stopped Brittan as he arrived at Dover. A search of Brittan’s car yielded a child pornography videotape which, even 30 years later, the contents of which the ex-customs officer was able to describe.
In seeking – quite rightly – to hold the Exaro/Chris Fay-generated stories of abuse torture and murder up to the light, Panorama fell into the trap of dismissing all the clear and unequivocal evidence of VIP or politically-protected paedophiles (Cyril Smith, Peter Morrisson, Sir Peter Hayman to name but three).
This, as I and others have warned previously, is precisely the polarisation and entrenched shouting match which will lead to a backlash: a spiral of catastrophe which will engulf all those around the louse and the flea, and drown out the voices of those who have been genuinely abused.
It is a cliché to say that one of the biggest problems of modern Britain is its media. In the particular case of child sexual abuse that cliché is horribly, miserably true. In the feverish atmosphere of claim and counterclaim, patient and forensic sifting of evidence is abandoned. Indeed, those of use who try to do so find themselves denounced by those who see only black and white as “running with the hare, while hunting with the hounds”.
I do not know whether the claims made by “Nick”, “Darren” Esther, or “Andrew/David” have any factual basis. They are – quite properly – being investigated by police. What I do know is that the vicious ideological trench warfare being conducted by my fellow journalists (who likewise do not know what is true and what is not) can only hinder quiet, patient enquiries and ultimately damage the efforts of those whose job it is to protect children.
Flea and louse, louse and flea: tell me – what, really, is the difference ?

Interview with Tim Tate, author and documentary film maker – he discusses this week's child sex abuse episode of Panorama 'The Truth'. Evidence Tory Home Secretary Leon Brittan possessed child pornography but was 'let off' and he was never going to stand trial for it. How Mark Watts' Exaro News agency in London began with a £5m loan which they are now about half way through. Why was so much evidence of a VIPaedophile ring missing from this 'What's The Truth' Panorama? The media are having to investigate crimes that should be properly investigated by the police. London's LBC radio reports paedophile investigation was shut down the night before mass arrests were due to be made.

20 VIPs in child sex ring, claims campaigner: Whistleblower says senior politicians, military figures and people with links to the Royals were members
Peter McKelvie, 65, first raised alarm about the child abuse two years ago
He says the conspiracy may have been going on for 65 years
McKelvie helped to convict notorious child abuser Peter Righton
Righton also a founding member of the Paedophile Information Exchange
McKelvie said abusers made up a ‘small percentage’ of British Establishment
By CHRIS GREENWOOD FOR THE DAILY MAIL
Peter McKelvie, 65, said senior politicians, military figures and even people linked to the Royal Family were among the alleged abusers
At least 20 high-profile members of the British Establishment formed a VIP paedophile ring that abused children for decades, a whistleblower claimed last night.
Peter McKelvie, 65, said senior politicians, military figures and even people linked to the Royal Family were among the alleged abusers.
The campaigner, who first raised the alarm about prominent individuals engaged in child sex abuse two years ago, said the conspiracy may have been going on for 65 years.
Speaking in public for the first time in 20 years, the former local authority child protection chief said there were still people in power who had been involved in child abuse two decades ago.
While working in Hereford and Worcester, he helped to convict notorious child abuser Peter Righton – once one of the country’s most respected authorities on child care.
Righton, who is now dead, was also a founding member of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) – which tried to decriminalise sex between children and adults, before he was convicted of importing child abuse images.
Mr McKelvie told police in 2012 that seven boxes of potential evidence about Righton were being stored by West Mercia Police, and that these might contain evidence of further abuse by senior members of the establishment.
He told the BBC: ‘For the last 30 years – and longer than that – there have been a number of allegations made by survivors that people at the top of very powerful institutions in this country, which include politicians, judges, senior military figures and even people that have links with the Royal Family, have been involved in the abuse of children.
‘At the most serious level, we’re talking about the brutal rape of young boys.’
Mr McKelvie said the child abusers made up a ‘small percentage’ of the British Establishment, but ‘a slightly larger percentage’ knew about it but did not report it to the police.
He said these people ‘felt that’ in terms of their own self-interest and self-preservation and for political party reasons, it has been safer for them to cover it up than deal with it.’
Child abuser Peter Righton was once one of the country¿s most respected authorities on child care
The retired civil servant said he had once tried to blow the whistle with a ‘very prominent figure’ in the Labour Party when the party was in opposition, but ‘nothing came of it’.
Mr McKelvie also took his concerns to Labour MP Tom Watson, who then raised the matter in Parliament two years ago.
His comments prompted the Scotland Yard inquiry known as Operation Fairbank, into claims of a paedophile network linked to Downing Street.
Speaking on the BBC’s Newsnight, Mr McKelvie added: ‘Over many years I’ve spoken to a considerable number of victims and most recently victims of perhaps the most powerful elite group of paedophiles.
‘Because the worst part of sexual abuse is the power that powerful people have over them. And they don’t believe that power can ever be broken.’
The evidence from West Mercia Police includes letters between Righton, who was a consultant to the National Children’s Bureau before he was unmasked, and other suspected paedophiles.
He welcomed the two inquiries ordered on Monday by Home Secretary Theresa May but said the allegations should have been taken up ‘a very long time ago’.
He said: ‘At last there is the very real prospect of survivors and victims having justice. I believe that there is strong evidence and an awful lot of information that can be converted into evidence if it is investigated properly.
'There has been an extremely powerful elite, among the highest levels of the political classes, for as long as I have been alive – and I am 65 now.
‘There has been sufficient reason to investigate it over and over again – certainly for the last 30 years – and there has always been the block, the cover-up and the collusion to prevent that.’
Parties must reveal what whips knew
The Lib Dems, Tories and Labour were last night forced to agree to trawl through their records for evidence that party whips covered up historic allegations of child abuse against MPs.
A senior civil servant last night insisted all public bodies – including political parties – should carry out a sweep of their documents for any evidence of a conspiracy of silence.
Mark Sedwill, permanent secretary at the Home Office, said ‘all bodies’ should carry out investigations to see whether they hold files or evidence relevant to a new, wide-ranging inquiry into historic paedophile allegations.
He told MPs on the Home Affairs Select Committee this included the offices of party whips – the senior MPs in charge of discipline in political parties. His intervention raises the prospect of current and former MPs who served as whips being questioned about what they knew of rumours or allegations against colleagues.
They have long been said to hold ‘little black books’ containing damaging information against colleagues they want to control.
Labour, the Tories and Lib Dems indicated last night that they would co-operate in full.
This week Labour MP Lisa Nandy raised in the Commons remarks by the late Conservative MP Tim Fortescue, who was a whip in Edward Heath’s government between 1970 and 1973.
He said in a 1995 documentary that MPs ‘in trouble’ would ask the whips’ office for help when in difficulty.
Mr Fortescue, who died aged 92 in 2008, claimed he could assist MPs with scandals, including those ‘involving small boys’, to exert control over them later and make sure they followed the party line.
He said: ‘For anyone with any sense, who was in trouble, would come to the whips and tell them the truth, and say now, “I’m in a jam, can you help?”.
‘We would do everything we can because we would store up Brownie points. That sounds a pretty, pretty nasty reason, but if we could get a chap out of trouble then he will do as we ask forever more.’
Former Conservative chief whip Mr Heath pioneered the keeping of a ‘dirt book’ about MPs’ private lives for his political advantage.
Conservative MP Mark Reckless suggested there should be checks to ensure that whips’ offices co-operated with any police inquiries into historic abuse allegations. He said a debate in the Nineties about whether whips’ notes were personal or government property had led to a new shredding procedure.
A Tory spokesman said: ‘Conservative whips will review their records and co-operate fully.’
Labour said: ‘We will do everything in our power to help the inquiry.’

Scotland Yard's shambolic investigation into alleged VIP child sex abuse and murder inched closer to collapse last night after a new officer was put in charge.
Detective Superintendent Kenny McDonald, who controversially described a key witness as being 'credible and true', has been replaced as head of Operation Midland.
It was confirmed last night that Det Supt McDonald had been removed from the inquiry as part of a shake-up widely seen in key circles as the 'beginning of the end' for Operation Midland.
The news came as Home Secretary Theresa May distanced herself from the force's Leon Brittan rape inquiry, saying police should tell suspects in a 'timely' way if they have been cleared.
Detective Superintendent Kenny McDonald, who controversially described a key witness as being 'credible and true', has been replaced as head of Operation Midland
She made her dissatisfaction clear after it emerged that detectives were told on four occasions there were no grounds to charge the Tory peer after he was accused of rape by a Labour activist with severe mental health problems.
Lord Brittan died in January at 75 without being told he had been cleared.
The restructuring of the Operation Midland team was announced ahead of a hearing tomorrow of the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee, when Yard chief Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe will be quizzed over the unravelling VIP abuse fiasco.
The Met has been under pressure to shelve the investigation since the Mail told last month how detectives had 'grave doubts' about the testimony of a man known as Nick whose allegations of triple murder involving the top tier of the security establishment triggered the probe.
After spending nearly a year on the case, officers have found 'not a shred of credible evidence' to back up claims that a string of senior Establishment figures were responsible for murdering three boys in the Seventies and Eighties.

Earlier, Mrs May piled pressure on Sir Bernard over the refusal of officers to abandon the case against Sir Leon for almost three years
A number of other exposes by this newspaper in recent weeks have cast further doubt on other alleged victims of VIP child sex abuse.
In a statement issued last night, which made no mention of Detective Supt McDonald, the Met said it had 'brought together all the various strands of non-recent child abuse allegations under a newly formed investigation team led by Detective Superintendent Ang Scott'.
Det Supt Scott will run Operation Midland and Operation Fairbank, which began in 2012 to look into claims of child abuse at the Elm Guesthouse in Barnes, South West London, and at other locations.
The statement said: 'As Operations Midland and Fairbank have progressed officers identified a number of people and locations common to both enquiries.
'It is therefore operationally important to have the same officer in charge. This team will also be responsible for the preparatory work to support the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.
'This team will continue to investigate the various operations that are ongoing, including those historical allegations of impropriety by police officers dealing with sexual abuse in the period 1970-2005.'

Ex-deputy director of MI6 is named by MP as 'key' figure who 'manipulated' Westminster VIP paedophile ring
John Mann said George Kennedy Young was 'key' to paedophile claims
Labour MP said ex-deputy director of MI6 took part in 'dubious' activities
Mann added Mr Young was a 'manipulator' who controlled groups of people within which there were paedophile rings in the 1970s or 1980s
By STEPHANIE LINNING FOR MAILONLINE
A former deputy director of MI6 is 'key' to allegations surrounding a VIP paedophile ring in Westminster, an MP has claimed.
Labour MP John Mann said the late George Kennedy Young, known as GK Young, was involved in 'dubious' political activity, including establishing a 'private army'.
He added Mr Young, who later became involved in right wing politics, was a 'manipulator' who controlled groups of people within which there were paedophile rings in the 1970s or 1980s.
Mr Mann, MP for Bassetlaw, claimed he had been handed a copy of the dossier of evidence that was given by Conservative MP Geoffrey Dickens to then Home Secretary Leon Brittan in 1984.
The so-called 'Dickens dossier' named several prominent paedophiles. An independent review into the Home Office's handling of child abuse allegations failed to locate a copy of the documents.
It reported last year that there was no evidence to support claims of an official cover-up, but warned it was impossible to draw firm conclusions because of shortcomings in the paper records.
Mr Mann called for the Wanless review to be reopened to find out what happened to the files, which he claims should have prompted investigation.
Barrie Trower from Liverton, Devon, who claims he has information regarding a mssing Whitehall document.
A former prison worker claims he contributed to the missing paedophile dossier by handing over names of VIPs and MPs who were coercing teenage rent boys behind bars.
Barrie Trower, 68, says he was recruited by M15 to work as a spy in the education department of Wormwood Scrubs jail in the 1960s and 1970s.
His role was to secretly record details of senior politicians, top police officers in the Met and high-ranking civil servants who had links with inmates.
The former science teacher claims he pooled together a string of damning facts from unsuspecting inmates - including teenage rent boys.
Many of them admitted spending weekends with MPs, taking part in spa trips and weekend breaks.
Barrie also says he saw and heard officials including MPs contacting teenagers in the prison to try and buy their silence by offering to get them freed.
He claims his information including letters and phone calls between inmates and VIPs was part of the Westminster child abuse dossier which went missing in the 1980s.
Barrie says that during his time at the prison, between 1967 and 1978, he passed on the intimate details of 16 VIPs, whose extra-curricular activities were disclosed to him.
He added that one of the accused politicians - who he named - was a household figure who has since died.
Barrie, of Newton Abbot, Devon said he was working as a teacher and scientist when he was approached to take on a job as a PE teacher and spy at the jail in 1967.
He said: "My main job was to obtain information from these vulnerable youngsters about paedophile activity within the establishment.
"I was trained over about a 14 month period to just listen and gather information that could be useful for MI5 and MI6 whilst I was teaching.
"I would have to be on the lookout for paedophiles and homosexuals and especially those within the establishment, for example police officers, civil servants and MPs.
"There were around 233 boys and girls that I was responsible for. There were a group of the boys, who I would describe as "pretty boys", many of them were rent boys.
"They would talk about very famous faces who had been at parties and events messing around with these boys, many of them were between 11-15.
"Ministers, police and civil servants, many of them known to the public were known by the public.
"Often the boys would get phone calls from these people, which obviously have to be logged, as well as letters which again we kept records of.
"They would have messages from MPs and Civil Servants saying things like: 'You won't do the full two year sentence, I'll make sure you're out in 16 weeks'."
Mr Trower started working at the prison as a physical education teacher in 1967.
He had been working as a science teacher and research scientist but was approached by the Government to take on a spying role in the prison.
As part of his role he was trained to detect spies, paedophiles and homosexuals and would give daily verbal revelations of links between inmates and VIPs.
Barrie explained the information he disclosed was passed on to four security officers who then handed the information on to MI5.
The revelations were then collated into 114 files which has since gone missing in a suspected cover-up.
He said: ''I would speak to the boys on a daily basis and they would start to name drop.
"I said to them that it must be nice to have friends like that and they would say 'they drive me around in their Jaguars, teach me how to swim and take me to saunas'.
"I was well trained - I know blackmail when I see it and those rent boys were being blackmailed."
The Home Office is facing calls to explain why a 1980s dossier about alleged paedophiles at Westminster was "destroyed" by officials.
The document was handed to then Home Secretary Leon Brittan by Tory MP Geoffrey Dickens.
Lord Brittan passed concerns in it to the relevant authorities, but the file itself was not kept.
Labour MP Simon Danczuk said it may contain evidence that would identify child sex abusers.
The Home Office said a 2013 review found the "credible" elements of the dossier which had "realistic potential" for further investigation were sent to police and prosecutors.
It added that other elements in the report were either not retained, or were destroyed.

I was raped at the aged of 4 by Scots Tory MP who was one of Margaret Thatcher’s closest allies
09:15, 14 AUG 2014 UPDATED 09:20, 15 AUG 2014
BY DAILYRECORD.CO.UK
SUSIE Henderson, who has waived her right to anonymity, claims she suffered appalling abuse at the hands of Sir Nicholas Fairbairn.
Nicholas Fairbairn
A woman has claimed she was raped at the age of four by a senior Tory MP who was one of Margaret Thatcher’s closest allies.
Susie Henderson, who has waived her right to anonymity, claims she suffered appalling abuse at the hands of Sir Nicholas Fairbairn.
The late Conservative politician, who was appointed solicitor general for Scotland by Mrs Thatcher when she became prime minister, has been linked to the child abuse scandal threatening to engulf Westminster.
Last month evidence came to light which suggests Sir Nicholas may have visited the Elm Guest House which serial abuser Cyril Smith attended. The property in Barnes, south-west London, is the focus of a Scotland Yard investigation into an alleged Establishment paedophile ring in the 1980s.
The evidence emerged weeks after Home Secretary Theresa May announced a Hillsborough-style inquiry into claims of paedophile activities in Parliament and other public institutions.
Now, Miss Henderson, 48, has told how she was raped as a young child by Sir Nicholas – and that she also suffered years of sexual assaults by her late father, prominent Scottish QC Robert Henderson, who was a friend of the MP.
Speaking in the Daily Mail she said of Sir Nicholas: “I hated that man. More than I hated my father. He just really wasn’t a nice man.
“I want it acknowledged that my father and Fairbairn did something very evil. Not just to me. There are other children out there.”
She told how, as a five-year-old, she would arrange her dolls around her bed in a bid to stop the abuse.
She said: “I put them there thinking that, when my father came for me in the night, he wouldn’t know it was me and he would take one of my dolls instead. But he never did.”
Miss Henderson first made her allegations against Sir Nicholas – famous for his outspoken views, frock-coat suits and tartan trousers – and her father under the alias of ‘Julie X’ in 2000 but an initial police investigation did not lead to any charges.
Miss Henderson, who lives near Inverness, claimed Sir Nicholas raped her when she was in bed with him and ‘another guy’ in a guest room on the top floor of her five-storey family home.
She says she was just four or five years old at the time, and remembers the pungent smell of his feet.
Last month broadcaster Esther Rantzen spoke of her revulsion after learning Sir Nicholas, with whom she had an affair after they met in a BBC studio in 1966, had been implicated in the Westminster child abuse scandal.
Miss Henderson, speaking publicly after Sir Nicholas was linked to the guest house, said: “I knew this would come out.
“I’m only surprised it has taken so long. I told the police about him in 2000, I told them what Fairbairn was. But they just wanted me to go away.”
Miss Henderson now works in social care and has a grown-up son.
She said: “It’s really only in my 40s that I’ve started living my life. I have good days and I have bad days. It will never go away and I get horrendous nightmares at times but, because my father is dead now, I’m not as scared as I used to be.”
Miss Henderson was born in 1966. Her father and his first wife, her mother, lived in a five-storey Georgian townhouse in Edinburgh’s New Town.
She claims Henderson beat his wife and young Susie was regularly belted.
She believes her father started abusing her around the age of three and sexually abused her repeatedly until she was eight years old.
She said: “He would say to my Mum when he came back from the pub, “I’ll take Susie for a nap.” And that was when he’d do it. He always put a pillow over my head. Another time in the bath he abused me and put my head under the water.”
Speaking about the first time Fairbairn abused her at one of her father’s parties, Miss Henderson said: “We were in the kitchen. I was maybe four years old. I had a skirt on and Nicholas and my Dad had been drinking, and my Dad told me to sit on Nicholas’s knee. I sat on his knee and he put his hand up my skirt and abused me. My Dad just stood there laughing.”
She remembers another incident involving Fairbairn: “The house was five floors and the top floor was where the guests used to stay. I was in bed in the guest room with Fairbairn and another guy."
She alleges that on this occasion Fairbairn raped her. She was just four or five years old.
Last month, Fairbairn was named as one of those believed to have visited the notorious Elm Guest House in London. A handwritten list of visitors to the guest house – which hosted parties in the 1980s where vulnerable boys were sexually assaulted after being plied with alcohol – states that a number of politicians including ‘N Fairburn’ and ‘C Smith’ – visited the property on June 7, 1982.
‘C Smith’ is believed to be Cyril Smith, the Liberal MP who has been exposed as a serial paedophile and who police have confirmed was a regular visitor to the brothel.
The documents also state that ‘Fairburn’ had ‘used boys in sauna’ and that photographs had been taken of him at the guest house. Despite the spelling discrepancy over Fairbairn/Fairburn, there have now been calls for a full investigation to establish whether or not Fairbairn was involved.
In 2000, having agreed to speak anonymously about her experiences to Sandra Brown, author of a book about child abuse called Where There is Evil, she found her story was not believed. Senior Tories rallied to Fairbairn’s defence, describing her allegations as ‘absolute rubbish’.
Sir Nicholas’s daughter Charlotte, 50, has told the Mail newspaper she "hoped" the allegations about her father were untrue.
She said: “I don’t really want to know anything about it, I would be very surprised by that, but he is dead. He’s not here to defend himself.
“It would sound hollow if I said, ‘He’s innocent’. I don’t know, though I completely and utterly doubt it. It’s all such a long time ago. I hope it’s not true.”
BBC commissioned retired judge Dame Janet Smith to do review in 2012
She did not contact Karin Ward until January, just weeks before publication
Miss Ward, 57, was one of the first to unmask Savile as a serial paedophile
She was forced to perform sex acts with him in the back of his Rolls-Royce

An 'independent' inquiry into sex abuse at the BBC has been branded a farce after it failed to interview the key whistleblower until more than three years of investigations had taken place.
The BBC commissioned retired judge Dame Janet Smith to conduct a 'thorough' review in 2012 but she had no contact with Karin Ward until January – just weeks before its publication next Thursday.
Miss Ward, 57, was one of the first to publicly unmask Jimmy Savile as a serial paedophile and rapist – a scandal which sparked the biggest crisis in the BBC's history.
The mother of seven has told how she was forced to perform sex acts on the Jim'll Fix It star in the back of his Rolls-Royce, and saw Gary Glitter having sex with an underage girl in Savile's BBC dressing room, during the filming of his show Clunk Click.
She also said she was 'groped' by Freddie Starr when she was just 15. Mr Starr was cleared after an 18-month investigation but lost a libel case against Miss Ward last year.
Dame Janet finally interviewed Miss Ward on January 18 – less than a month before the completed report was handed to the BBC and days after a leaked version showed that the review was already on track to exonerate the BBC for the decades of abuse on its premises.
Detectives investigating child sex claims against Edward Heath are planning to sift through 4,500 boxes containing his private papers.
Wiltshire police are recruiting civilian investigators to examine the uncatalogued archive even though the former prime minister died more than a decade ago.
The move comes after Scotland Yard was accused of wasting resources on Operation Midland, its £2million inquiry into claims of a paedophile ring in Westminster in the 1970s and 1980s.
The review had spoken to 107 witnesses who suspected Savile of molesting young girls but the leaked draft report said it was accepted that managers did nothing to stop him as they had no 'hard evidence'.
Victims of his decades-long abuse have dismissed the inquiry as a £10million 'whitewash'.
The revelation that it has only just questioned Miss Ward is likely to confirm their fears it had reached its conclusions before all the evidence was heard.
It is not clear why the review took so long to interview her.
A spokesman said: 'It is the review's policy not to provide comments to individual members of the press.' _________________ --

INS News Agency Ltd...27/10/2015 *************** Picture by Kerry Davies *************** An Eton College student found with more than 2,000 indecent images of children had encouraged youngsters to strip for him on webcam, a court heard. Andrew Picard was aged 17 years at the time he is accused of making indecent photographs of children at the prestigious private school near Windsor, Berks. Dressed in a suit with a blue striped tie, Picard, now aged 18 years, entered no plea to 12 counts of child abuse. See copy INSpic
The recent disgusting case of paedophile Eton student Andrew ‘Picard’ Boeckman who took photos of children as young as two being raped and forced into acts of bestiality has caused outrage.
Despite being found guilty of producing and downloading 2,000 paedophile images he was allowed to walk free by sicko judge, Peter Ross, because he’d been ‘working through his issues’ with doctors.
scumbag Peter Ross
What a * joke.
Of course, many judges are paedophiles too and work in the secret courts where thousands of children are stolen each month by the state from innocent parents. These children often go missing and are not allowed to contact their families.
Are they being snatched and forced into appearing in child-rape videos?
The shocking truth about Britain’s forced adoption scandal
In fact. have the police even traced the many hundreds of victims that Boeckman filmed being abused?
Who were they and how the * hell did he meet them all?
In yet another vile travesty of justice Andrew Boeckman was allowed to use his mother’s maiden name of Picard during his trial and the subsequent reporting.
Why the * hell have the authorities treated Boeckman with kid gloves when anyone else would have received a hefty prison sentence?
Is it because there’s much more to this case than first meets the eye?
Most * definitely.
You see, Andrew Boeckman is the son of wealthy American lawyer, Philip J Boeckman and his wife Erin (nee Picard), who split their time between the USA and Westminster.
Philip J Boeckman
Boeckman is a partner in law firm Cravath, Swaine and Moore and lives next to the Houses of Parliament in London.
Leon Brittan also owned a home near Great College Street so he and Boeckman were neighbours ( or at least they were until Brittan faked his own death).
Strangely, Philip Boeckman has listed himself under the electoral roll as being in his mid-twenties.
The media would have us believe that Andrew Boeckman was working alone when he asked young boys to rape each other and filmed a two-year old girl being raped by a dog.
But how likely is that?
It’s much more likely that Andrew Boeckman was working as part of a much larger and highly organised child-rape operation possibly in collusion with his father and others.

Some people claim that children are often buggered in exclusive public schools.
This buggering is supposed to instill a stiff upper-lip into children.
Some say it makes children susceptible to conditioning techniques.
There have been several child-abuse scandals involving Eton College.
The authorities have been very lax in their response to these claims.
In 2004, a pervert teacher at Eton walked free from court:
” A PERVERT teacher at Eton who downloaded child porn escaped jail yesterday – after a judge heaped praise on him.
Shamed Ian McAuslan, 58, had 200 indecent images of boys on his computer and a sordid child sex video was found at his home.
But he walked free after his nine month prison sentence was suspended for two years.
Judge Christopher Critchlow spoke in glowing terms about the respected master, who taught Classics at Princes William and Harry’s world-famous pounds 20,000-a-year college.
He told McAuslan, who was forced to quit his job when charged:
“You have a fine record and were clearly devoted to your profession.
“I give you full credit for that long service and all that you have done in that career.
“It’s a tragedy that your career should end this way.”
The controversial decision at Reading Crown Court came just a day after a similar case involving a paedophile judge caused outrage.
In that instance – highlighted in yesterday’s Mirror – “His Honour” David Selwood, 70, got off with 12-month community rehabilitation order despite admitting 13 child porn offences. The court in London said it had taken into account his “long and outstanding service”.
Last night, there was a fresh outcry over the leniency shown to McAuslan, of Southampton, who was ordered to be placed on the sex offenders’ register for seven years.
Protesters branded the sentence “pathetic” and called for far tougher punishments.
Michele Elliott, director of child protection charity Kidscape, said: “This sends out the message that child pornography is not a very serious offence.
“It suggests that anyone with a previous good character can get away with anything.”
Lyn Costello, of Mothers Against Murder and Aggression, added: “It’s obvious he was a teacher merely to satisfy his cravings as a paedophile. His sort should get the maximum sentence.”
In the late nineties, Nick Davies reported on the Eton police raid that never was:
In November last year, every newspaper in Britain carried the story of how Scotland Yard had worked with police forces around the country to raid the rooms of teachers at private schools in search of evidence of their involvement in a paedophile ring.
The more interesting story, however, was the raid which never happened.
In the weeks before the operation, specialist detectives from the Paedophile Unit at Scotland Yard had discussed with Thames Valley the possibility of raiding a teacher at the most prestigious private school in the country – Eton College, whose pupils include the off-spring of some of the most powerful families in Britain, including the heir to the throne, Prince William.
The move started after a teacher who had recently left Eton went to Thames Valley police and claimed that one of his colleagues had been indecently assaulting boys at the school. Detectives investigated and discovered that the suspect teacher had been the target of similar allegations in the past; and that police in Yorkshire had seized a collection of child pornography and found letters from the teacher in which he referred to “sending the happy items”.
Clearly, this did not amount to proof that the teacher was guilty. His former colleague may conceivably have had a grudge against him; the letters in Yorkshire may have had some innocent explanation; other witnesses who also suspected him, may simply have been mistaken. But the whole series of raids was being mounted on similar intelligence which Scotland Yard believed was strong enough to demand that suspects be interviewed and their property searched. Yet when the raids finally took place, Thames Valley held back, arguing that the evidence was too weak to justify action.
The result: the truth about the suspected abuser was never found.”
Eton College, VIP child abuse, James Bond c***-ups and the raid that never was
In 2015, Alisa and Gabriel, told the world they were being raped and tortured on a regular basis by lawyers, teachers, social workers and many others in schools and churches in the Hampstead area. They accused their father, Ricky Dearman of also raping them and pimping them out to his associates.

Despite their most compelling evidence, the media and judiciary shut down any investigation into their claims and people were vilified and ridiculed for believing their allegations.

Over 5 years ago, we were given a tip-off that the Council’s finance department was operating in a less-than-kosher way.
After investigations, we found that multiple payments were being made into false accounts and many millions of pounds were being syphoned off fraudulently.
The Audit Commission has not signed-off WC’s accounts for years and the department operates in total chaos.
Of course, at the time, we had no idea that these financial shenanigans were linked to a huge child-abuse ring, with tentacles reaching throughout the whole of the British Establishment.
Despised hag, Shirley ‘ I’ve legged it to Israel’ Porter, was vilified in the media and High Court, when it was found she’d been gerrymandering in order to retain the Conservatives hold on the council.

What nobody realised at the time was the ‘ Homes for Votes’ scandal was a total charade, used to cover the crimes of WC councillors linked to the Dolphin Square boy-brothel, and to deflect attention away from the brilliant investigative journalism of Scallywag.

Creepy Establishment coroner, Paul Knapman, has been covering-up VIP murders for decades, many of them based in Dolphin Square and Westminster.
Naughty Paul Knapman
Knapman is very close to Councillor Robert Davis as they worked together as the Queen’s Lord Lieutenants ( along with deceased child-rapist, Cyril Smith MP), and he may have a lot of extremely important evidence to share with police officers.
Many other Local Authorities are petrified of Westminster and will do their bidding at any cost.
This is because WC knows the sordid secrets of other councils and will threaten to expose them if they don’t play ball.
The current leader of Westminster Council is Philippa Roe, the daughter of Tory Peer, Dame Marion Roe.
Marion Roe
Marion Roe was a member of Margaret Thatcher’s paedophile-infested cabinet and may have information for the police about VIP child-abuse.
Danny recently claimed that child-abuse allegations are ‘tiresome’ and anyone believing them is a ‘nutter.’
He also said that isn’t evil for poor people to sell their organs to the rich.
How macabre.
In fact, Shirley Porter herself is linked to the recent Israeli organ trafficking scandal and Paul Knapman hid the organs of the Marchioness riverboat disaster victims.
Some people believe that raped children are often killed and their bodies are then sold on the black market.
Does Westminster Council have a part to play in these most gruesome activities?
Most certainly, yes.
You see, Westminster Council is not only involved in decades of child-abuse and cover-up but is also guilty of murders and trafficking too.”

Rantzen is a top paedo-protector and knew all about Jimmy Savile and the BBC abuse ring.
She runs the fake organisations Childline and NSPCC which filter out vulnerable children to target for and also any child reporting on VIP abuse. Boy-rapist Peter Mandelson is also a trustee.

Nick Ross pretended to grieve for Jill Dando when she was shot in the head but he was party to her murder and cover-up because Jill was going to blow the lid on Savile.
Cliff Richard and royal bottom-fiddler Alan Farthing were also roped into the plan.

Nick Ross recently said he’d love to watch child-pornography.
Princess Diana was also murdered because she knew about Savile and the ring linked to the Royals and government.
Princess Diana Centrepoint
She met and befriended a victim of sordid boy-brothel the Elm guest house which was frequented by royals, Leon Brittan and Cliff Richard amongst others.
According to the Mirror:
” Another victim of the Elm guest house scandal believes Princess Diana saved his life, the Sunday People has revealed.
The man, now in his forties, met the princess when he was sleeping rough outside a London church.
He claims he was subjected to horrific abuse at the Elm from the age of 10 while he was in care at Grafton Close children’s home.
Diana Murdered
Diana gave him food and helped him find a temporary home as he battled to rebuild his life in his twenties after escaping care.
He left a tribute to Diana at Kensington Palace when she died in the Paris car crash of 1997.
The man said: “I have rebuilt my life and I owe it all to Diana.
Elm Guest House HellGrafton Close
“She kept in touch with me even after she’d helped my back on my feet. I have lost a real friend.”
The man claims he saw money exchanged with his then carer and his abusers at the Elm guest house before he was taken back to the Grafton Close home.”
Prince Charles was very close to Jimmy Savile as was Prince Philip.

It stands to reason that Savile was procuring children for royals to rape and murder.
On the eve of the wedding of Charles and Diana, eight year-old Vishal Mehotra disappeared from his London home.

His dismembered body was found months later and it has been claimed that he was murdered at the Elm Guest House. His death also links to missing schoolboy Martin Allen.

“If you thought for one minute that Britain is really as it appears to be, you’re very sadly mistaken.Beneath the pomp and pageantry lies a network of paedophilic depravity, so vile and despicable, it literally beggars belief.
Don’t be fooled into thinking Jimmy Savile was an isolated case either.
He wasn’t.
From the Elm Guest House scandal to North Wales care home abuse via Dolphin Square; to sickening Warwick Spinks and the Amsterdam connection; from Jersey’s Haut de la Garenne to Kincora in Northern Ireland.
From the vile BBC to complicit police, social workers and government authorities; from MP’s through to the Royal Family themselves; the whole filthy lot of them are in on it.

Unbelievably, this * goes even deeper than you could ever imagine.
In April 2015, we wrote the following post:
” We all know the British Establishment is run by debauched, child-raping filth who love nothing better than to inflict torture on innocents.
What’s less well-known though is the depth of depravity they are happy to descend to in order to carry out their bat-* Satanic rituals.
Satanic child murdered
You see, dear reader, we’re finally starting to gain a glimpse into the sick, sick world of the British Elite and it is one hell of a sight to behold.
Mossad rent-boys, Mi5, have had no choice but to allow an orchestrated drip-feed of info about dead paedophile MP’s and celebs into the public domain, in a desperate bid to prevent the whole truth about Britain’s dirty secrets from emerging.
That’s why you’ll often hear news of the abuse of boys by Cyril Smith, Peter Morrison and Jimmy Savile.
Charles and Savile
Because dead men don’t talk.
And it’s much easier to control information about so-called ‘ historical abuse’.
After all, the 70’s and 80’s were such a long time ago weren’t they?
Maybe things were different back then.
Why rake up the past?
The public then start to lose interest in long-forgotten names and very soon paedophile fatigue sets-in.
Cyril Smith and Clement Freudjanner-and-geller
And that is exactly what tptb want to happen.
They don’t want the general public to know that at this very moment in time, a massive, highly organised, murderous paedophile ring is still in operation in this country.
Its tentacles are so far-reaching that there is not a single organisation or government agency which is not in someway involved in, or aware of, the ring.
Prince Andy PaedoPaedo Ring Number 10Savile at Palace
It spreads from Buckingham Palace, through to Parliament, the Judiciary and beyond.
The operation is so well-oiled and slick it is almost impossible to comprehend and was previously virtually impossible to expose.
Some with inside information have literally risked life and limb to detail the vile horrors that have been perpetrated on Britain’s children and in many cases have died for their efforts.
The key features of this sordid abuse-ring are even sicker than you could imagine:
1) Many of the most violent and sadistic abusers are women.
2) Babies as young as 2 months old are regularly abused.
3) Children are often murdered after being abused and their bodies are incinerated or disposed of on country estates around the UK.
4) The BBC, NHS, local government, Parliament, clergy, senior business leaders, celebs and sports stars are all part of the ring.
5) Satanic sacrifices involving babies and children often take place at the Houses of Commons and Lords and at the BBC.
6) Child-pornography emanating from the abuse is sold worldwide for billion-pound profits.
7) Revenue generated from the ring is laundered via thousands of shell/boiler-room companies.
8) Companies House is complicit in the ring and monitors the false companies to ensure they remain uncovered.
9) Military Intelligence spend a large proportion of their annual budget and manpower hours controlling the ring and monitoring any signs of exposure.
10) Prince Charles is as gay as a kite and Prince Philip likes to b* very young boys
What a charmer
Is there more to Britain’s dirty secrets than meets the eye?

Eton student who shared 'appalling' abuse photos from his dorm computer of children as young as two being raped is SPARED jail
Andrew Picard had 2,000 indecent images of children on his computer
Top lawyer's son sat in college dormitory sharing pictures in chat rooms
Was caught aged 17 sharing material with an undercover police officer
He admitted child porn charges but was given suspended jail sentence
By MARK DUELL FOR MAILONLINE
A former Eton College student avoided jail today despite making and distributing ‘appalling’ indecent images of children and bestiality film clips.
Andrew Picard, from Westminster, London, was found with more than 2,000 pornographic images of children on his computer at the prestigious school near Windsor, Berkshire.
The 18-year-old son of a top lawyer sat in his college dormitory sharing the pictures in chat rooms and was 17 when he was caught sharing material with an undercover police officer.
Picard, who was arrested at Eton after his IP address was traced there, admitted ten counts of child pornography - and at Oxford Crown Court was today handed a ten-month prison term, suspended for 18 months.
He was let off jail after being credited for his work with doctors in the past year to address his offending - but this was said to be a perk of his privileged position.
The offences dated from January to February last year when Picard made indecent images of youngsters and shared them via chat messages on Skype.
Thousands of images and clips were found on Picard’s computer and hard drive that showed acts so appalling that Judge Peter Ross could not bring himself to describe them.
Others showed children as young as two being raped and forced to have sex with dogs.
Cathy Olliver, prosecuting, said the undercover officer had entered a ‘teen’ chatroom, for those aged between 13 and 19 years, on February 9, 2015, when he was contacted by a user called 'AP16MUK' - standing for Andrew Picard, aged 16, male, from the UK.
Picard messaged the undercover officer asking: ‘Do you want to see pics of boys and girls your age, nude?’
Boasting of having hundreds of videos, Picard added the officer on Skype and shared indecent images of a boy aged ten and girls aged eight and 14 years.
Asking the undercover officer for proof he was aged 14 years as he said and not some ‘old’ man, Picard later shared a video of his own face.
‘His IP address led police to Eton school in Berkshire where staff were able to identify him as a pupil,’ Ms Olliver said. ‘He was arrested from school on suspicion of distributing indecent photographs of children.’

Picard admitted one count of possessing indecent pictures of children, one count of making indecent pictures of children and eight counts of distributing indecent photos or recordings of a child.
Detectives found 1,185 indecent images and videos on his computer and on hard-drives seized from his school dormitory.
They also discovered chat logs from the chatrooms where Picard boasted about the ‘quality’ of his videos and asked users who claimed to be as young as 14 to exchange naked shots of themselves for indecent videos he would provide.

Ms Olliver said it was a feature of Picard's offending that he would send images in return for the user to strip, showing him their ‘underarm or groin’.
She added: ‘There are aggravating features, the children are very young, in obvious pain and distress, and the number of photographs distributed.’
Dressed in jeans, trainers and a navy jumper, brown-haired Picard squeezed his eyes shut as Judge Peter Ross described some of the vile Category A material found in his possession.
Do you want to see pics of boys and girls your age, nude?
What Andrew Picard asked an undercover police officer
One of his videos showed a girl as young as three being raped, while others showed young children being forced to have sex with dogs.
Sallie Bennett-Jenkins, QC referred to her client's remorse and pointed to the good work he had been doing with doctors in the past year, undergoing constant treatment with numerous doctors and psychiatrists.
‘This is a young and very able man who has hopes for the future,’ she added. ‘He was able to have this opportunity [to seek help] and this was something Andrew sought for himself, by himself.’
Sparing Picard jail, Judge Ross said a term of custody would undo the good work he had done in the past year undergoing extensive counselling.
He said: ‘This defendant Andrew Picard was a privileged young man. His family are clearly wealthy enough to send him to school in Eton.
‘Quite how you found your way into this unpleasant world Mr Picard, the world of chatrooms and exchanging this material, is not clear to me.
‘Why you did it doctors and others have sought to explain - the emotional difficulties you had, issues around your sexuality.’
However he blasted all those who deal in child sexual exploitation, saying they were not ‘victimless crimes.’
‘All too often in these courts we see the internet and chatrooms providing a degree of assumed detachment in terms of what is said and the material that is viewed.
Please make no bones about it, these are children, some of them very tiny, and they are being abused and tortured simply to provide sexual gratification, mainly, to adult males
Judge Peter Ross
‘Please make no bones about it, these are children, some of them very tiny, and they are being abused and tortured simply to provide sexual gratification, mainly, to adult males.
‘All over the world, too often in the third world, children being made objects of the most appalling abuse.
‘It forms a currency and you played a part in that. You were seeking to obtain your own sexual gratification.’
A mental health treatment requirement was added to his sentence for 18 months, which will continue with his existing providers. He was made subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and was ordered to pay £1,200 in prosecution costs.
Picard's wealthy family live in prime real estate next to the Houses of Parliament in Westminster. His father is a managing partner in the London office of a large American corporate law firm.
The judge added: ‘It has been said that you and your family have suffered deeply as a result of your arrest and public exposure.
‘Your family didn't deserve that but it is a consequence of this sort of offending. Inevitably your privileged background and where you were going to school added a degree of frissance to the reporting.’

Israel Becoming a 'Refuge for Pedophiles,' Warns Advocate for Child Sex Abuse Victims
At a Knesset pre-hearing, groups working to prevent the abuse suggested there may be a 'significantly higher proportion' of cases in the ultra-Orthodox community.

Fleeing abuse in Israel, non-Jewish women fear violence and deportation
Israel has become a safe haven for Jewish pedophiles from around the world, a leading advocate for child sexual abuse victims warned Monday at a Knesset committee pre-hearing on pedophilia in the ultra-Orthodox community.
“Sex offenders tend to move from country to country to avoid jail, but what makes Israel unique is the Law of Return, which essentially grants unhindered access to anyone who is Jewish to come here without any real screening,” said Manny Waks, the chief executive officer of Kol v’Oz, a newly formed nonprofit that aims to prevent child sexual abuse in the global Jewish community.
The Law of Return grants automatic citizenship in Israel to those who meet its definition of a Jew.
Waks was raised in Melbourne, Australia where he attended Yeshiva Centre, a school run by the Chabad movement. Years later, he reported that he had been sexually abused by two members of the staff there. Waks and his family, who have since been featured in several Australian documentaries, were ostracized by the local Chabad community for coming out publicly with their story.
Along with representatives of several other groups active in preventing child abuse in the Jewish community, Waks met today with MK Yifat Shasha-Biton, chair of the Knesset Special Committee for the Rights of the Child.
The full committee is expected to convene for a special session on the topic after the Passover break.
Among those accused of sexual abuse who have fled to Israel, Waks cited the prominent case of Malka Leifer, the former principal of a religious girls’ school in Melbourne, who allegedly assaulted eight of her charges. She is now under house arrest, and the Australian authorities are seeking her extradition. Waks noted several other cases of pedophiles and alleged pedophiles from the United States, Britain and the Netherland who had fled to Israel either after being charged or to avoid being charged. Some have already been extradited back to their home countries where they are serving jail sentences.
“It seems to us Israel is increasingly becoming a refuge for pedophiles and alleged pedophiles,” said Waks. “It’s an easy get-out-of-jail card for them.” Waks, who is married with three children, recently moved back to Israel, where he was born and served in the army.
According to research data he cited, one in five children in Israel experiences sexual abuse.
“There’s a range of factors that suggest there may be a significantly higher proportion within the ultra-Orthodox community,” said Waks. “I think any closed community would have increased cases, because these cases are silenced. They’re swept under the carpet. Not only that, but in the Haredi community, they don’t even talk about sex, so how can they talk about sexual abuse?”
His new organization, he said, will be lobbying the Knesset to change the statute of limitations so that victims of sexual crimes can have more time to file complaints.
Also present at the meeting with Shasha-Biton were the heads of a new Israeli group called “Lo Tishtok” (Thou Shall Not Be Silent) that aims to give voice to ultra-Orthodox victims of sexual abuse. Launched as a Facebook page five months ago, the group already has close to 4,200 followers and is planning to become a nonprofit.
Yitzhak Kadman, the executive director of the National Council for the Child, said he had noticed signs of “the beginnings of a revolution” in attitudes toward child sex offenders in the Haredi world. “I was actually astonished by the amount of openness I’ve seen recently,” he said at the meeting.
Israel may be a preferred destination for Jewish sex offenders, said Kadman, but it has also become a place of refuge for their victims. “We are seeing many of them leave their home countries and come to Israel, perhaps because they are looking for a way to get a fresh start,” he said.
