I hate to agree with Boris Johnson (who in my eyes is a thug, a liar, a traitor and totally unfit for public office) or @toryboypierce (the press wing of the Tory party), BUT if Starmer wasn't involved in the Savile case he was an ABSENTEE DPP!
dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…
Although from the basest of motives by a PM who said funds spent on @inquiryCSA was 'money spaffed up a wall', Johnson's comments put a salty finger in an open wound.
It actually surprises me Starmer said it was a slur peddled by right-wing trolls and not by anti-Semites.
@toryboypierce would do the nation a massive service if he were to do a deep investigation into the close links between Epstein and Mandelson, the man who Starmer called on as an advisor and who seems to be pulling the strings in Labour.
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
Which ever way you look at it, if Starmer knew about the Savile case he was part of the coverup. If he didn't know that his department was involved in a case against Britain's leading DJ who hobnobbed with Prime Ministers, it was a dereliction of duty.

Alison Levitt identified severe shortcomings, including missing files, in the way the CPS handled the Savile case on Starmer's watch, a case which had realistic prospects of convictions.
So was Levitt, wife of Baron Carlile, a slur-peddling right-winger out to smear Starmer?
C'mon, can you imagine a DPP not wanting to be updated on the minutiae of progress in a case involving a Papal Knight, TV personality and marriage counsellor to Lady Di who was courted by Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, Peter Mandelson and Prince Charles?
Pull the other one!
'Far-right activists and paedophile hunters'
'Conspiracy theories of violent fascists'
'Ridiculous slur peddled by right-wing trolls'

Do you see an emerging pattern?
I do!

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...

This and Alex Bourne's interview with James O'Brien throws up more questions than it answers:
Why do Hancock and Bourne only rush to justify their actions AFTER the disclosure by Good Law Project?
Why does Matt Hancock always refer to Bourne as 'my constituent' when he was the landlord of the pub, a picture of which adorned the wall of his office until he surretiously took it down and is referred to as 'Matty' by Bourne.

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!

Johnson is like Julius Caesar:
Let me have men about me that are fat. People who do my bidding.
Hence, his attempts to install his sycophants and buddies in positions of power, building a ring of steel around him.
Like Dacre at Ofcom, for example.
amp-theguardian-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.thegua…
But someone had to hold the fort at the Mail. A steady hand was needed to steer the fascist Rothermere course as complaints about the way this failing government has been treated by the Fail have been received from No. 10 ...
Geordie Greig, the incumbent and an extremely close friend of Ghislaine Maxwell over the years, had to go to make way for a hardliner, shaped in the image of Dacre, a steady pro-Boris hand on the tiller ...

I think the world is quite rightly more interested in the longer report you didn't publish.
@InquiryCSA
In fact, I would go as far as saying that by withholding the true nature of Janner's crimes and his associations you are in fact part of the coverup and perpetuating child abuse by sending out a clear message to VIP abusers that their actions have no consequences!
In fact, your refusal to release the full and unredacted version fuels the wildly ludicrous and baseless claims of the likes of Daniel Janner that the abuse inquiry offers no proof of his father's guilt.
