welshbairn Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Quote The UK’s Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse gave its verdict on David Steel. It damned him for his years of silence and inaction on the child sex abuse of Cyril Smith, Liberal, then Lib Dem, MP for Rochdale from 1972 to 1992; saying that Steel had ‘abdicated his responsibility’ and had not been motivated by ‘the lens of child protection but through the lens of political expediency’. The backstory to this is that in 1979 Cyril Smith informed Liberal leader David Steel about child sex allegations against himself – and that they were true. These had been published at the time in the local Rochdale press and picked up by ‘Private Eye.’ Steel not only did nothing then, but subsequently maintained a defence of falsehoods and evasions for the next forty years, including successfully recommending Cyril Smith for a knighthood in 1988. When challenged over the years about the allegations against Smith – particularly by a dodged ‘Private Eye’ who pursued Steel through the decades – Steel acted as if he was morally innocent and the injured party. https://gerryhassan.com/blog/david-steel-cyril-smith-and-how-the-establishment-still-looks-after-its-own/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember one of the tabloids doing a daily countdown until 15 year old Charlotte Church became legal? And page 3 girl Lindsay Dawn Mckenzie had topless photos published on her 16th birthday. The implication, clearly, that they had been taken before this date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were taken weeks or even months before - they simply "starred" out her nips during the "countdown" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 It was still going on well into the 90s. Remember one of the tabloids doing a daily countdown until 15 year old Charlotte Church became legal?I don't remember that. I do remember the Mail having an article "Look Who's A Big Girl Now!" next to a photo of Church on her 16th opposite an article enraged by the paedophile episode of BrassEye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously still excused here after all the shite last week celebrating the life of a woman who got us simpletons to shell shelled out £12m to make the noncing allegations disappear. Now we have a king who was besties with Savile and actively tried to help beasty bishop Peter Bell. FTFY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
