Boosted by Top Cop Veale doing his version of "credible and true" - "120% certain" - DOH!!! - the buzz in the traditional media is that the front page of the Mail on Sunday about Ted Heath was deliberately intended to provoke the backlash. The Mail believes that Middle England has turned against the False Allegations Industry (at last becoming aware it could happen to YOU) and is seething with fury.

And don't forget "every waking moment of his life spent thinking about abusing boys and girls" this quote from a senior Met Officer live on TV when referring to Jimmy Savile. I have it on good authority, that Det Supt Gray and Commander Spindler apologised in private for that unjust and uncorroborated remark (as if you could ever prove such an idiotic statement) maybe the Met now needs to give a public apology and an explanation.

Absolutely; the catalogue of incredibly stupid police comments grows hourly. And there are even more serious breaches of discipline, let alone law. From the Telegraph last year - after the Sir Richard Henriques report.

He said the district judge who issued the search warrants had been misled by detectives over the credibility of Nick's allegations.
Sir Richard said: "The gravity of a judge being misled in such circumstances cannot be overstated."

Jimmy Savile was “a prolific, predatory sex offender” who “spent every minute of every waking day” thinking about abuse, it was revealed yesterday.
The disgraced TV presenter could have been prosecuted for offences against at least three victims while he was alive, had victims been taken more seriously.
“This whole sordid affair has demonstrated the true consequences of what happens when vulnerability collides with power. He groomed a nation,” said Commander Peter Spindler.

I was under the impression that only one person had ever reported Jimmy Savile to the police before he died, and had withdrawn their complaint.

It seems unlikely that false allegations will be seen to be a problem until the Savile allegations stop being held aloft like some kind of Holy Grail.

I think the Bogeyman Savile was long ago replaced by others (some living like Rolf) and now by former Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath but I also suspect the "great story" has started to run out of diesel and is being overtaken by the electric car of "could they have been making it up?" thanks to phone hacking having turned the media against the police. Just sad that every move was for the wrong reasons. But comforting that the occupants of all the vehicles are lemmings.

“This whole sordid affair has demonstrated the true consequences of what happens when vulnerability collides with power. He groomed a nation.”

Ironically, Spindler's quote appears to be an accurate assessment of what these corrupt, self-serving and malevolent police chiefs do when they lie to the general public via the stinking pestilential swamp that is UK media. Just replace the word “He” with the word “We” in the quote above to turn it from a sordid lie into a truthful statement.
