how is that Peter McKelvie who has admitted that he was prostitute (and not a child at the time), a drug addict with a history of violence .. and a driver of the Carl Beech lunacy..was allowed to become a "child protection officer"?

I'm so pleased Sir Henriques has blown this whole sordid business open.

Scumbags. fraudsters, corrupt or idiotic cops, hideous politicians have been able to run riot and it's led to a ludicrous "Inquiry" into child abuse (how fucking hard is it to protect children?) costing £100Ms when it's estimated 4 million real live children to day live in poverty?

I'm not too positive about the UK's future. I still think Britain's busted police forces will prevail..they have been allowed to get away with it for too long,

And..I'm a tad tired now of Jeremy Corbyn and believe he will fail. Of course the real villain is the evil Tony Blair who I think has really destroyed Labour andhe almost makes me believe David icke's claim he's a "shape-changing reptile"in his latest speeches he seems positively evil.

But Corbyn's tactic of not attacking his critics is becoming pathetic. He has let the extreme right wing run all over him with the phony antisemitic claims and Labour have bungled the entire thing.

I believe Corbyn is a genuine and good man..but these endless tours to country area sand provincial cities spruiking Labour's policies are becoming quite tragic. They may look effective but it's like something from the 1930s when there was no mass media.
Who the fuck is advising him?

And.. and a very big AND..if the situation had occurred with the horrendous Tom Watson in Australia..with Watson's appalling role in the current Carl Beech saga..the party leader would have gone into his office and turfed him out by the scruff of his neck.

And the very fact Labour members even elected Watson as Deputy Leader and allowed him to undermine the current Leader for so long is reprehensible. He is a snake..,always was and I cannot understand how people can't see it.

And the reason why Corbyn should maneuver Watson out of the party completely (he has no control over it but it's time for some Machiavellian moves) is this (and it should been apparent for ages)..

Tom Watson is toast. He will be gone from politics within the year because...he may have thought he was on a winner with his belief he (which he didn't) somehow made the Leveson Inquiry happen..but he is now about to feel the Wrath of the Murdoch's and News Corp over his role..they don't take prisoners and they extract revenge even if they have to wait. Watson is no longer of use to News as a potential Labour leader. The Carl Beech matter has finished off his usefulness.

And that is why a sensible party leader would already be working on how to ditch Watson or in the very least..tell him publicity to piss off..because once Watson dies a political death it will be yet another thing to bash Corbyn with for not speaking up sooner.

What?! Really?! That's insane. Was he a police officer or some kind of civilian police worker?

About Labour/Jeremy Corbyn, Alastair Campbell may not be to everyone's taste, but he makes some interesting points here, I think, e.g. that Labour doesn't appear to have developed a strategy in response to Bojo and Co coming to power. He also has words about Jeremy Corbyn's advisers.
