If the name of the latter is not familiar to you, he is Britain’s most decorated soldier. He is also 91 years old and a veteran of the Second World War. Leon Brittan was of course best known as Home Secretary under Margaret Thatcher; he died in January this year, and like Jimmy Savile that made him fair game for any lowlife who crawled out of the woodwork, the gutter or the sewer to besmirch his good name, although in Brittan’s case the accusers appear to have crawled out of the local booby hatch. The rumours about Leon Brittan actually began way back in the 1980s. If you were around then, you may have heard that he had been arrested in Brighton for sexually abusing a child but had been released after a phone call to one of his protectors in high places. There have been similar rumours about Tony Blair, Bill Clinton, and if you dear reader either become famous, extremely http://www.thelatestnews.com/police-witch-hunt-high-mighty-continues/ 1/4 7/18/2017 Police Witch-Hunt Of The High And Mighty Continues wealthy or involved in national politics, similar rumours may be started about you by someone you have annoyed in the past, or by someone who is simply jealous of your success. Leon Brittan, 2011 Following the scurrilous documentary The Other Side Of Jimmy Savile, we saw literally hundreds of freshly “empowered women”, and a few men, coming forth with allegations against not only Savile but numerous celebrities dating back not simply years but decades. While a handful of these allegations were undoubtedly true, in particular those against both former TV presenter Stuart Hall and the former DJ Chris Denning, most were not, and we have seen some terrible miscarriages of justice, in particular the conviction of Rolf Harris. The case against Max Clifford was in some ways just as scandalous as that against Harris, and even the conviction of Gary Glitter is at best questionable, and that in spite of his previous convictions. With all these rumours ying around it was perhaps inevitable that Leon Brittan’s name would come to the attention of the police, and in 2012 he was questioned under caution for allegedly raping a woman at his London apartment in 1967! Now though he has been accused of participating in homosexual orgies and being involved in the murder of an underage boy. And the evidence for this? Allegations from a fantasist known only as Nick, whom the police say they nd credible. It is currently claimed that up to three boys were murdered by this mythical paedophile ring, if not at the notorious Elm Guest House or at an address in Dolphin Square then perhaps at Buckingham Palace. We haven’t reached that stage yet, but it will be interesting to see what happens if the Metropolitan Police demand access to the Royal apartments after having received “credible information” that bodies have been buried under the oorboards. What is driving this insanity? There have been a number of unsolved child murders or disappearances over the decades, and where an allegation of murder has been made as opposed to one of a mere sexual assault it is incumbent of the police to put some effort into establishing https://www.infotextmanuscripts.org/tln/Police%20Witch-Hunt%20Of%20The%20High%20And%20Mighty%20Continues-.html 2/4 http://www.thelatestnews.com/police-witch-hunt-high-mighty-continues/ 7/18/2017 Police Witch-Hunt Of The High And Mighty Continues either its veracity or falsehood, but the main impetus appears to be coming from the likes of the Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk. And his “inspiration”appears to be his daffy wife Karen, who has accused her own brother of raping her, and guess what, this has prompted two more victims to come forward exhibiting “great courage” to make similar allegations. Mr Danczuk is the author of a biography of his predecessor Cyril Smith, who held the Rochdale seat until 1992. It is claimed not only that Mr Smith was a paedophile but that his abuse of underage boys was covered up by the Thatcher Government, the security services, and Uncle Tom Cobbleigh and all. Margaret Thatcher may not be everybody’s cup of tea but it is frankly inconceivable that she would have covered up the sexual abuse of the young, especially abuse of a homosexual nature. It is more likely that the allegations against Mr Smith were either shown to be false or dismissed as such. What happens in such cases is that after the investigation the relevant papers are archived or perhaps shredded to protect the good names of the innocent. We have seen this recently with the claims of Satanic abuse that appeared in Hampstead, allegations that were too bizarre even for the Metropolitan Police. They and others have tried to kill this nonsense; among other things, videos uploaded to YouTube have been pulled, but for the gullible, like even the highly intelligent Sabine McNeill, this is proof positive only that the police are controlled by servants of the Devil himself. She has now ed the country, and if she returns will doubtless be arrested for some offence, perhaps contempt of court. Could the Metropolian Police ever get a warrant to search the Royal apartments at Buckingham Palace? Image credits: DAVID ILIFF When will this lunacy end? Perhaps only when the Metropolitan Police do turn up at Buckingham Palace with a warrant to search the Royal apartments, in the meantime, they appear to have set their sights somewhat lower, namely on Cliff Richard. Also in the meantime, there are real crimes being committed out there, including sex crimes, like the rape and attempted murder of a teenager in Leeds. The police nationwide would be better advised to put a cork on all this ludicrous historical witch-hunting, bring prosecutions for wasting police time against those who make such allegations without supporting evidence, and concentrate on keeping the streets save from real predators, rather than from the ghosts of recently deceased and unnecessarily vilied politicians. http://www.thelatestnews.com/police-witch-hunt-high-mighty-continues/ 3/4.

  • Chilling Day Special Branch Swooped to Seize ANOTHER Dossier on VIP Abusers: 16 Mps' Names Mentioned in 1984 Report on Paedophile Lobby's Influence in Westminster
    Chilling day Special Branch swooped to seize ANOTHER dossier on VIP abusers: 16 MPs' names mentioned in 1984 report on paedophile lobby's influence in Westminster • Police raided newspaper offices of Don Hale, editor of Bury Messenger • He'd recently been given sensitive files by Labour politician Barbara Castle • Documents included typewritten minutes of meetings that had been held at Westminster in support of paedophile agenda • Included details of a host of Establishment figures who had apparently pledged support to their cause • Also mentioned multiple times was Tory minister Sir Rhodes Boyson, a well-known enthusiast for corporal punishment, and Education Secretary Sir Keith Joseph By Guy Adams for the Daily Mail Published: 00:59 GMT, 19 July 2014 | Updated: 20:03 GMT, 19 July 2014 X Barbara Castle: Worried about rising influence of paedophile lobby The knock on the door came early one day in the famously dry summer of 1984. It was just after 8 am, and Don Hale, the young editor of the Bury Messenger, was reading the daily papers at his desk as his reporters were beginning to arrive at the office. As Hale, then 31, answered the door, a trio of plain-clothes detectives barged in, followed by a dozen police officers in uniform. What happened next was, in Hale’s words, ‘like something out of totalitarian East Germany rather than Margaret Thatcher’s supposedly free Britain’. The detectives identified themselves as Special Branch, the division of the police responsible for matters of national security. ‘They began to flash warrant cards and bark questions,’ says Hale.

  • Freedom of the Borough Review – the Late Cyril Smith
    Report to Council Date of Meeting 17 October 2018 Portfolio Leader & Finance Report Author Monitoring Officer Public/Private Document Public Freedom of the Borough Review – the late Cyril Smith Executive Summary 1. Following a request from a member of the public, who was one of Cyril Smith’s victims in the 1960s. Council is asked to consider rescinding the decision to confer the Freedom of the Borough on the late Cyril Smith, in light of the widespread public concern about his abuse of children and young people and the findings of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) in their interim report published in April 2018. Recommendation 2. (a) That Minute 33 of the Policy & Resources Committee held on 19 August 1992 be rescinded forthwith. (b) That the Monitoring Officer be delegated to update all documents of record and public information within the control of the Council accordingly. Reason for Recommendation 3. Council is the decision-making body with the authority to act. It is an opportunity to reconsider whether the grounds for conferring the Council’s highest civic honour on one of its citizens – given what is now known and understood about his conduct - are still valid. Key Points for Consideration 4. (a) Under Section 249 of the Local Government Act 1972, Freedom of the Borough may be conferred on ‘a person of distinction, and [who has] rendered eminent services to [Rochdale].’ On 19 August 1992, the Council’s then Policy & Resources Committee resolved to confer the Freedom of the Borough on the then Sir Cyril Smith. (b) Subsequently, according to local press reports, the award was conferred at a Town Hall ceremony on Monday 23 November 1992.

  • Why Doesn't Anybody Write Anything About Glam Rock?
    WHY DOESN'T ANYBODY WRITE ANYTHING ABOUT GLAM ROCK? Jon Stratton In discussions of post-war British youth cultures glam rock gets very little attention. For example, in their seminal work on British youth cultural forms, Hall et al (1976:54), make only one passing reference to this subculture. In a list of subcultural possessions and objects they refer to: '... the glitter costumes of the Bowrieites ... .' Similarly, Brake (l980:80) in his outlines of British post-war youth cultures gives the culture half a page while skinheads get two pages and rockers one page. Hebdige, (1979) in Subculture: the meaning of style, does spend about two and a half pages looking at glam rock but most of this space is taken up with an analysis of the images of David Bowie. Hebdige writes of Bowie that: Certainly Bowie's position was devoid of any obvious political or counter-cultural significance ... (l979:6l). And Bowie's meta-message was escape — from class, from sex, from obvious commitment — into a fantasy past ... or a science-fiction future (1979:61). What is confusing for Hebdige about glam rock soon becomes clear: In glam-rock, at least amongst those artists placed, like Bowie and Roxy Music, at the more sophisticated end of the glitter spectrum, the subversive emphasis was shifted away from class and youth onto sexuality and gender-typing (1979:61-2). On the one hand, Hebdige can write so much about Bowie because glam rock's presentation of image as image lends itself to Hebdige's dominant semiotic method of analyzing cultural texts.

  • Annex D – What We Asked
    Annex D – What we asked Letter dated 17 July 2014 from the Director General of the Crime and Policing Group, Home Office Dear Colleagues CHILD SEX ABUSE As you are aware, on 7 July, the Home Secretary announced two separate inquiries relating to child sex abuse: an independent inquiry panel (“Inquiry Panel”) to consider whether and the extent to which public bodies and other non-state institutions have taken seriously their duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse and a review (“the Review”) of the independent investigations, commissioned in 2013 by the Home Office’s Permanent Secretary. I am writing to provide further details of these and to suggest related action which your departments may wish to take. The Review The Home Secretary appointed Peter Wanless, the Chief Executive of the NSPCC, and Richard Whittam QC to review the independent investigations commissioned last year by the Permanent Secretary to look at two separate issues: firstly whether the Home Office received any information about organised child sex abuse between 1979 to 1999; and secondly whether the Home Office had ever funded the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE). The Review will consider whether those investigations were carried out appropriately and whether their conclusions are robust. In addition and importantly, the Review will also examine how the police and prosecuting authorities receiving information from the Home Office handled that information when it was referred to them. I attach the terms of reference of the Review to this letter for your information. It is worth noting that the two independent investigations referred to immediately above are referred to as “reviews” in the terms of reference.

  • Glam Rock by Barney Hoskyns 1
    Glam Rock By Barney Hoskyns There's a new sensation A fabulous creation, A danceable solution To teenage revolution Roxy Music, 1973 1: All the Young Dudes: Dawn of the Teenage Rampage Glamour – a word first used in the 18th Century as a Scottish term connoting "magic" or "enchantment" – has always been a part of pop music. With his mascara and gold suits, Elvis Presley was pure glam. So was Little Richard, with his pencil moustache and towering pompadour hairstyle. The Rolling Stones of the mid-to- late Sixties, swathed in scarves and furs, were unquestionably glam; the group even dressed in drag to push their 1966 single "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?" But it wasn't until 1971 that "glam" as a term became the buzzword for a new teenage subculture that was reacting to the messianic, we-can-change-the-world rhetoric of late Sixties rock. When T. Rex's Marc Bolan sprinkled glitter under his eyes for a TV taping of the group’s "Hot Love," it signaled a revolt into provocative style, an implicit rejection of the music to which stoned older siblings had swayed during the previous decade. "My brother’s back at home with his Beatles and his Stones," Mott the Hoople's Ian Hunter drawled on the anthemic David Bowie song "All the Young Dudes," "we never got it off on that revolution stuff..." As such, glam was a manifestation of pop's cyclical nature, its hedonism and surface show-business fizz offering a pointed contrast to the sometimes po-faced earnestness of the Woodstock era.

  • An Investigation Into the Influence of British Newspaper Narratives on Contemporary Discourse Around Children
    Title of thesis: Anatomy of an endemic juvenile panic: an investigation into the influence of British newspaper narratives on contemporary discourse around children. Candidate name: James Gordon Morrison Institution name: Goldsmiths College, University of London Degree for which submitted: PhD 1 Declaration I confirm that this thesis and the research it contains is my work alone, and that all secondary material (where used) has been fully referenced. Signed: ...................................................................................... James Morrison 2 Abstract Children occupy an ever-more prominent position in public discourse in late-modern Britain, with politicians, news media and other key definers consistently depicting childhood as inherently problematic. Popular portrayals of juveniles tend to conceive of them as being subject to multifarious ‘risks’, with younger children, in particular, considered vulnerable to all manner of threats – from illnesses and medical emergencies to technological perils to the predations of deviant elements in society. When not threatened themselves, moreover, they are frequently depicted as presenting a menace to others, in a manner redolent of earlier moral panics about subversive youth sub-cultures. Drawing on a rich literature of research into news- making, textual framing and media reception, this thesis uses a triangulated methodology to explore the interplay between contemporary newspaper journalists, their sources of news, the narratives they weave, and (actual or potential) members of their audiences. It argues that the dominant, at times paradoxical, positioning of children – by press and public alike – as either or both of victims and threats amounts to an endemic ‘juvenile panic’, which is rooted in a continuum of ambivalences about minors that can be traced through history.

BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF MISHEARING AND THE DIFFICULTY IN SOME CASES OF IDENTIFYING INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS, THE BBC CANNOT VOUCH FOR ITS COMPLETE ACCURACY. “FILE ON 4” Transmission: Tuesday 24th February 2015 Repeat: Sunday 1st March 2015 Producer: Sally Chesworth Reporter: Tim Whewell Editor: David Ross ACTUALITY OUTSIDE PARLIAMENT WHEWELL: On a cold day last month, outside Parliament, some of those who’ve campaigned for years for a national inquiry into child abuse, laid white flowers to remember the victims. MAN: We’ve been stonewalled at every single turn in the last 25 years and it has been a cover up for too long. MAN 2: Now is a pivotal time. This has to stop now. WHEWELL: Finally, as that inquiry now begins, they hope for some answers to the question: why? Why did so many authorities ignore so many abuse allegations for so long? Was it conspiracy? Naivety? A knee-jerk impulse to protect institutions rather than children? There’ll be many answers. But one, just one, unexpected one came after the flower-laying, from a man once responsible for child protection in his area. He pointed to the hidden hand of institutions with no democratic accountability, insurance companies.
