Newsnight Fri 2 Nov please watch v Important you know who is running the country

[MrsjREwing]

Tom Watkins tweeted a seniour politician will be outed tonight and Max Clifford said on Daybreak shocking news will be released by the BBC today.

I think you are right to feel that way. If it is associated with Icke, it probably will receive bad publicity.

Well entirely up to you of course, but they are trying to get out to everyone. Website coming up I think soon.

I am not a DI person really! Just trying to spread the word.

Cameron's announced an inquiry:

Sorry, not an inquiry. An investigation - which is much less formal.

CFSKate's link is effectively an admission by The Telegraph that the number-one contender on Twitter is the man Newsnight wanted to out.

You're right Hummingbirds, there's no suggestion in the Telegraph that the tweeters might have got it wrong. They must be pretty sure of their ground to report on the tweets from that angle.

Do you think we will see this man arrested because I think that's fairly unlikely. But I don't know, if the name is out there (like John Lesley's name was out there) will the police have any choice but to arrest him?

I'm feeling rather frustrated at the lack of anything happening after the promises of many arrests.

I was under the impression that he no longer lived in the UK. Makes an arrest considerably more difficult if that is the case.

Oh. Is he deliberately in a country from which he couldn't be extradited?

Italy, isn't it?

Hes in Australia.

Tom Watsons letter to DC

Apropos of nothing, I just wanted to say how interesting I found the Wiki entries of both Lord McAlpine and Dreke Laud whilst writing a small essay on the Tory party today.

From Wiki:

"Laud has a wide circle of friends in the Conservative Party. In 2001, he provided an alibi[8] for his friends Neil and Christine Hamilton when they were falsely accused by Nadine Milroy-Sloan of sexual assault.[24]"

I'd forgotten about that.

It's not linking, Mrscrump.

The link worked for me, it just took a while and came out without the formatting.

Yes I read that LineRunner, just dont know what to make about any of it now. I actually thought at the time that they were stitched up, but when I read that..........

Just in case its still not working..

I dont see any way in which DC can walk away from this.

It was a dinner party with more than one guest so I assume Laud wasn't the only alibi. If he was, and if the rumours about him turn out to be true, I shall be more suspicious.

I know it is early news but are we confident that Cameron is going to appoint the right person/people to investigate all of this?A senior independent figure.It is so difficult.It will prob be a judge but I do not think anyone trusts anyone!

Ok, got the link now, thanks.

"if the name is out there...will the police have any choice but to arrest him?"

But haven't the police known about him for years? And, for whatver reason, done nothing about it?

Probably appoint Ken Clarke, Leon Britten or Michael Portillo!

EEEEEK!
Do you think appointing a woman would make a positive difference or make people trust it all more/

doobydoo -
personally I don't think that would make the slightest difference
