Labour peer's letters to care home boy revealed as questions grow around Theresa May's recently announced inquiry.

On the 7th July, Home secretary Theresa May announced a wide-ranging inquiry into public bodies' and institutions' handling of historical child abuse allegations, to be headed by retired judge Lady Butler-Sloss. The inquiry would include allegations of historical abuse involving politicians.

There are many reasons, some small but not insignificant, and some  larger contentions, which cumulatively provide overwhelming justification for the growing insistence for the removal of Lady Butler-Sloss as head of the recently announced inquiry into public bodies' and institutions' handling of historical child abuse.The family relationship between Butler-Sloss and the former Attorney General Sir Michael (Later Lord) Havers, should in itself, be enough of a reason to bar the appointment, but it seems that Theresa May and David Cameron have complete confidence in the ability of Butler-Sloss to conduct a fair and impartial inquiry, based on her background of her time as a judge and the legal profession.

That may well be true, but her brother in his position as Attorney General, refused to prosecute Sir Peter Hayman, a diplomat and member of the Paedophile Information Exchange, a lobbying organisation for child abusers and in addition attempted to silence Geoffery Dickens MP, from exposing Hayman, (who was later convicted for an act of gross indecency in a public lavatory) as a paedophile and active member of PIE.
Another compelling reason for the appointment of an alternative person to head the inquiry, is that Butler-Sloss is herself, part of "the establishment" which the inquiry will seek to investigate and moreover, she has during her time in the House of Lords, been closely associated with many of the people who will inevitably come into the spotlight of the probe. There will always be the suggestion whether justified or not, that any decision, revelation recommendation or other findings of the inquiry, have been manipulated to place those under investigation to be shown in the best possible light to perpetuate and deepen the ongoing cover up.
It is curious that neither May or Cameron seem to have taken the family connection if nothing else into consideration when making the appointment. Their "complete confidence" in Lady Butler-Sloss as head of the inquiry is also odd as, quite clearly there is a potential if not actual conflict of interest in the appointment.
The way forward is abundantly clear. Butler-Sloss should immediately stand down as head of the inquiry or May and Cameron should remove her and appoint a new head, unconnected with family or taint of "establishment" bias.
The continued determination of government to support the appointment of Butler-Sloss, and her resolve not to stand down from the position, will inevitably  raise its own questions as to motivation.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t
