Having lead a very successful and influential political life, it appears the media will only remember him for the false accusations of child abuse.

Was he killed by the false allegations industry? I wouldn't be surprised, I've seen the effect it has on far stronger souls. But I can confirm that the perpetrators of false allegations will suffer a far worse fate. I've seen that too.

met him many times along with his family.
A gentleman and a gentle man.

I believe the stress would have contributed to his demise. He wasn't a 'grandee' as depicted nor a tough nut politician.

A pox on the David Ickes of the world and the scumbags who falsely accused Lord McAlpine. Watch the pedo brigade go haywire now..vile creatures.

I give most of the pedo brigade the benefit of the doubt; I think they really are motivated by the best intentions, even some of the nastiest and most vicious. But that doesn't excuse their madness. Which is why I believe Karma, rather than actual social revenge, is what negates them eventually.

I wish the BBC and others would stop quoting that Newsnight made false allegations about him - a person (at worst mad; at best deluded) made those false claims. Name the man, not just those who believed him ("you will be believed").

indeed the nutcase who named him accused numerous people but not one was convicted and 2 judges named the accuser for what he was..a fraud.

also started a "charity" where all the funds dissapeared. with today's media you just wait a short time and can do it all over again.

I really really do not understand today's so-called "journalists"..I know many and their naivety is bizarre and it's accompanied by an arrogance...even as they go down the tubes.
