Jimcantfixthis reports a disturbing claim that should have politicians and civil libertarians screaming from the rooftops because of it's implications :

"On the basis of recent assessments, there appears to be a general acceptance that Savile was a prolific sex offender and a paedophile, but he was never convicted of any offence during his lifetime. Although mindful of that fact, we have nevertheless taken the decision to refer to his “crimes” and “offending” rather than his alleged crimes” and “alleged offending” in this report."

not a word, not a peep from a gutless tribe of so-called leaders, not a sound from the legal fraternity...they all tremble at the feet of tabloid editors ( and a bent former cop).

In one fell(foul)swoop centuries of British law is turned on it's head. And it will spread.

Hedda should know that her words ring true, if maybe too late.

Also ignored were earlier Anglophone mineshaft Canaries like:
H.G. Wells, 1895, "The Time Machine; Oscar Wilde, 1895, "We are dominated by journalism"; Aldous Huxley, 1931, "Brave New World"; Evelyn Waugh, 1938, "Scoop"; George Orwell 1947, "1984"; Ray Bradbury, 1953, "Farenheit 451"; Norman Cohn, 1957, “The Pursuit of the Millennium”; Stanley Milgram, 1963, "Obedience To Authority"; Harry Harrison, 1966, "Make Room!

Or, more likely far too few aware of anything but mass produced ignorance for profit, 24/7 'Daily Rolling Drivel'.

2 April 2003, mission-statement of ‘Inquisition 21st Century’ editor Brian Rothery: " To resist the absolutism of our times and the emerging police state. To act as the campaign web site of the British group action against the perpetuators of the great travesty of Operation Ore. To publish what we perceive to be important books, articles and videos, in particular those of suppressed writers. "

Any coincidence, that the deputy chief is a woman? I think not.
