I think I've made it clear that I'm for the former. We're talking about a police investigation. This is where there is evidence. Using the word whistleblower in my first post would have helped. I said there's a need for a leak, and it amounts to the same thing with a set of caveats. Some people enjoy being hysterical about things and assuming the worst case scenario. The fact is that justice has failed those who were abused and it will probably continue to do so.

What you're after is a witch hunt. The laws of evidence and proof are there for a reason, one of them being to stop dangerous idiots from mistakenly going after people who may be innocent.

I think what is more concerning is that while plenty of these celebs have been investigated and jailed if found guilty, there has not been a single arrest of a politician to date.

Anyone who has been following this story in the non mainstream media would have a good idea of the identities of many of these people anyway. I'd imagine there are a lot of celebs bricking it right now. They aren't afforded the sort of protection that others seem to be.

One example of this recently was poor aul Cliff. They showed police raiding his home on the news from a helicopter, due to rumours. Nothing was found, but imagine how great it would be for the news if someone like himself was found to be one. Everyone was ready to jump on him (and some already did) for being paedo scum, but there was nothing to suggest he was.

Cliff Richards is still under investigation for the 'historical' abuse allegations, he hasn't been cleared. They found no evidence in the house searched which isn't surprising given that he is no longer a UK resident (or a british citizen). Coincidentally, the country he has chosen to adopt as his home has no extradition agreement with the UK.

Indeed.

After reading about Elm Guest House and his visits (under a pseudonym) I wouldn't be so quick to worry about 'poor old Cliff'.

The media has to be very careful.

About 20 years ago a story came out in the local radio about a "sports coach" in the local school. He had molested a teenager.

At the time my dad was involved with a group of coaches (GAA, Soccer, Basketball etc) who provided services to the same school on an interim basis.

So you can see where this is going.

The local radio news programme states that an unnamed sports "coach" at the school has been accused of molestation.

Neighbours, family and friends know that my dad is a "coach" at the same school, they can put 2 + 2 together and get 5.

Cue lawyers and group settlements etc etc.

Not enough arrests coming form within the police, the negligence on their behalf in all this is criminal in itself.
