How do I make the word 'no' sound any more emphatic? ;)

Which is why I didn't post any actual names. But like I say, some of the names mentioned are a massive shock.

Anyone can post names on the web and it's quite unfair to do so IMHO. Undue public speculation about all this is a very bad idea since it could amount to libel or even prejudice future legal proceedings. IMHO the time for naming anyone is when the police have done their bit, not before.

Not a good choice by any means.

A good choice because of The Cleveland Inquiry.:rolleyes:

You mean like Lord McAlpine, who was previously named on the internet, and quite a lot of people ended up paying money to charity because the allegations were unfounded.

Just because it's on the internet, does not mean it is true....

True. Wish I had never posted now. Could all my posts in this thread be deleted please.

Helpful.

Looks like there are others who also doubt her suitablity for the position:

Quote:

But Labour's Simon Danczuk said her position was tainted because her late brother, Sir Michael Havers, was Attorney General in the 1980s.

Quote:

The Green party has joined those saying Lady Butler-Sloss should stand down as chair of the child abuse inquiry.

I think anybody leading this enquiry must be above any reproach.

Yep let's not forget she's the one who gave Jamie Bulger's killers the right to anonymity for life.

We need somebody who is totally divorced from the febrile atmosphere of Westminster, Lady Butler Sloss is in IMHO not that person.

OK! Who would you suggest?Bearing in mind we need someone who is at least an expert on child abuse and all it's issues and isn't connected to Westminster..
