The @bbc showed its true colours again last week by interviewing a man himself accused of being a paedophile to defend Ghislaine Maxwell.
Given the huge number of past cases, one could be forgiven for thinking the BBC is bound by its statutes to defend and protect nonces.

Although many at the Beeb prefer to use the rear entrance, this thread takes us into Broadcasting House aka Nonce Towers round the front, past the statue of the naked child by the paedophile 'artist' Eric Gill.
Let's see where it takes us!

It isn't just the entertainers, presenters and producers who make the BBC a safe haven for nonces. It's the people behind the scenes with the power to set the agenda, turn a blind eye and then feign surprise at how Savile could have happened.
Like Lizzie Watson...

Lizzi Watson is a) BBC news editor and b) daughter of Margaret Hodge who presided over child abuse at homes under her watch on an industrial scale. These included 'Savile taxis' ferrying kids in care to abusers.

With a daughter on the news team and David Edmonds, her nephew and brother of Philip of Maddie fame, as a feature maker, it is hard to believe that Hodge would never be tempted to influence the BBC's coverage of Savile, Islington or the McCann case.

Paedophila runs through the BBC's DNA to such an extent that they even employed a triple-convicted child abuser to ferry big-name nonces to Broadcasting House. Niven Sinclair even sat in on BBC meetings yet was never identified by Dame Janet Smith!
