To think that the outcome of any child abuse probe centering around Westminster is foregone?

[MarmaladeShatkins]

And the outcome will be that no living politicians will be outed?

I think they will pin it on a few deceased MPs and continue to cover up the involvement of any public figures still alive. There might be one sacrificial lamb to silence the public but I think it will still be a big cover-up.

I do not believe that the police should police the police and that is exactly what is happening with Butler-Sloss heading the inquiry.

Yes, I think the timing is interesting.

What have I missed why is the timing suss ? probablya dumb question

Go on facebook and have a look at the comments on the news articles, that should tell you all you need to know.

William Hague has stepped down

Strokes chin...

Well I never.

The situation must be much worse than we thought if she's backing out.

Can it get any worse

I thought it was pretty bad when they first said about Saville misstired, and look at how it's spread out since then.

Theresa May's said she still favours an individual to take over from BS rather than a panel of experts, still resistant to anyone getting to the bottom of it then.

The inquiry will be stuck with whoever they pick because nobody will be allowed to complain about it a second time.

Lots of politicians will be standing down (chucked out), there's a cabinet reshuffle. No connection to paedophilia.

Yes I see what you mean. Everytime I turn the news on or read a paper theres another twist in the tale. Shocking some of the things ive read that include certain celebs/mp's.

dont agree with your there edam

william hagues move seems very strange

The inquiry will be stuck with whoever they pick because nobody will be allowed to complain about it a second time.

They can't stop us protesting if we don't like it.

Hague will be stepping into a new international role that reflects his recent work with Jolie. Mark my words

ssd It does seem a little strange in the current climate, yes.

Edam, you don't think the timing of the cabinet reshuffle is suss?
It's either to take attention away from this, or/and the DRIP bill which has just been pushed through parliament unconstitutionally :/

what a negative and depressing view OP

I really hope they seek advice, get someone good and out all the nastiness- once and for all

they cant squirm away from it now

Very good interview with Zac Goldsmith, scroll down to "ConHome: “How did you get involved in the child sex abuse issue?”"

Does anyone know how the protest on Friday went?

I saw some pictures on Facebook and it didn't look like there was that many people (someone said maybe 200 max). I think the problem was that it was short notice and on a weekday.

I was disappointed that it also seems to have been highjacked by our favorite MP and his followers and I saw quite a few 'say no to forced adoption' which tbh really annoys me and also seems totally irrelevant; these children were abused in care not in the homes of adoptive families.
