What is it about Britain's Secretaries of State for Culture, Media and Sport?
James Purnell held this post in the mid-Noughties. In 2003, vile child abuse images were found on his computer. A fall guy, Paul Doggett, was soon found and Purnell was cleared of involvement. But what halfwit of a Culture Secretary would grant unfettered access to his computer?
Interestingly, the fall guy ploy was adopted in the case of Purnell's close friend Peter Mandelson. When Operation Ore suspected him of trawling the web for child-abuse images, a Welsh student was pulled out of the hat who allegedly had claimed to be Mandelson.
How convenient!
James Purnell was PPS to Ruth Kelly. Both his friend Peter Mandelson and Ruth Kelly are both mentioned by Dr. Coleman in her satanic-abuse RAINS list.
Coincidence?
Jobs for Islington chums:
When Purnell, a former Islington councillor, took up his position at the DCMS, he gave Margaret Hodge, the scourge of children in care, a cushy job.
I wonder what he knew of the abuse on an industrial scale under Hodge?
Purnell's own PPS Jonathan Reynolds, later to succeed him as MP for Stalybridge and Hyde, liked to hobnob with local paedophile Stuart Hall and his mate (and possibly accomplice) Tom Pendry.
