amazing that the one leading the ridiculous demands for Baroness Butler-Sloss is MP Michael Danczuk who is flogging a book on Cyril Smith.

I think JK is correct- there is a bizarre collapse in democracy. Too many want the claims of a vast (Tory) pedo ring to be proved true despite the fact Dickens was a nutter who thought Satanic Abuse was rampant.

For all we know this 'dossier' was so riddled with fantasy it was destroyed because it would have been shown to be hogwash. They have weaved other homes into Elm Guest House like some vast conspiracy

I think Labour see gains here also- linking Tories to pedos..and from the fevered comments that accompany any article about this, they may be right.

meanwhile I have to contend with a an ex-priest PM who is a crazy as Dickens may have been.

I think you are right about it being destroyed because it was hogwash, but it seems now that the more far fetched something is, the more we believe it.
