Oh dear.

Claims surface in the Sunday People that Margaret Thatcher personally "covered up child abuse allegations against senior ministers".

And a whistleblower claims he "supplied underage rent boys for Thatchers ministers".

There was a suggestion by a columnist in my red top that a senior police officer from the USA might be an untainted choice. Interesting...

What about Baroness Helena Kennedy
or even going outside the British establishment altogether and asking a senior legal figure from Australia or Canada ,they would be outside the British establishment and somewhat familiar with our legal system

Excellent idea, heap some of the blame on to people who are no longer around to give their version of events.

I think as they're investigating this it will emerge that many of those alleged to be involved are dead unfortunately.

That's more than likely to be true but also presents excellent opportunities to 'bury' allegations and blame whether true or not.

Interestingly enough, today this on the BBC

Quote:
Pope Francis has been quoted as saying that reliable data indicates that "about 2%" of clergy in the Catholic Church are paedophiles.
Quote:
In the interview, Pope Francis was quoted as saying that the 2% estimate came from advisers. It would represent around 8,000 priests out of a global number of about 414,000.
When the pope stops covering these things up, yet governments are....times have definitely changed.

The problem there is he's admitting how many are paedophiles - that is probably in line with the rest of the populace - not how many then participated in covering it up.

Really anyone who is in the frame to run this is part of 'the establishment'

Time to get a foreigner in? They were keen on Bill Bratton getting the Met Commisioner job, how about him?
