I recently watched her Paedophiles in Parliament doc that I didn't realise was from last year. It was a really in depth look at historical claims and she made all the links between the powerful paedophiles and those who covered for them. She is equally damning of Labour and Conservatives and LibDems in that doc at least.
Thanks for sharing OP, Will watch later. Thank god there are some actual real investigative journalists out there!

So many red flags, so many failings. So many lies and such denial. So many troubling, unanswered questions.
It's so disturbing. My heart goes out to that little girl and her family and I dread to think about other victims.
Thank you Sonia for such a thorough investigation, for bringing this into the spotlight. It is in the public interest and the cover up is still ongoing.
And this is why I will not vote for The Greens or LDs.

Thanks Sonia - dark stuff indeed.
I will never understand why there is such a paradox over the abuse of children.
One aspect is that people seem to be outraged by it - but then, conversely there is also this blatant disregard for safeguarding practices that would protect children from it.
I can only come to the conclusion that there are indeed some paedophiles who have managed to get into positions of power, in high places.
Every time, I always think Red Riding - and then Jimmy Saville - and then I think Red riding was't really fiction, was it?

I was surprised that even at the end, the Lib Dems appeared to have learned nothing and how Rosy Cobb, their head of media, was being obstructive and aggressive. Prompted by this to have a quick search I found this from yesterday:

No.

That, and avoidance. Nobody wants to acknowledge quite how common it is. It's too destabilising.

Mockers I watch US political debate shows to wind down of an evening, far more relaxing than news here.
Does anyone think this will sway votes?
Sonia has done a brilliant job and I'm pleased to see Rosy Cobb has been suspended but she hasn't actually been fired.
