A major paedophile network may have had links to Downing Street and a former prime minister
 

A major paedophile network may have had links to Downing Street and a former prime minister, it was claimed in Parliament today.

Labour MP Tom Watson alleged there was ?clear intelligence? linking a former Number 10 aide with a notorious group of sex offenders.

The explosive allegation was made during Prime Minister?s Questions and comes as the BBC is gripped by the Jimmy Savile crisis and its failure to protect children from the TV presenter.

David Cameron said Mr Watson had raised a ?difficult and complex case? but would look at the allegations.

Mr Watson claimed that the police file used to convict Peter Righton in 1992 of importing child pornography from Holland needed to be looked at again.

He claimed to have been contacted by a former child protection specialist who had been concerned for years that Righton?s activities and connections had not been properly investigated.

In particular, files seized from Righton?s home which included letters from known paedophiles, Mr Watson claimed.

This brings to mind: Whatever happened to Peter Townsend's CP problems?

this is going to get big :2 cents:

"The public domain" is a strange beast.

The media have known about paedophile rings among the elite for years. Edward Heath has been linked to Jersey and to the disappearance of boys. Yet the media are holding fire on Heath, despite knowing that his links to Jersey are as strong as Savile's.

Who benefits from this "drip-drip" effect, feeding the masses a new salacious bit of gossip each day? The whole thing is stage-managed.

He claimed he was just "researching" for a book he was writing in which, if I remember correctly, he said he was sexually abused as a kid.

I have a feeling he is a troubled person.

The book didn't say anything, because it did not exist. And it still does not exist. Here's one of the things he said after being caught though:

"I have felt for a long time that it is part of my duty [...] to speak loudly about the millions of dollars being made by American banks and credit card companies for the pornography industry."

See? He is not to blame for getting out his credit card to pay for illegal porn with children, it's the pornography industry's fault.

I didn't realize he never actually wrote the book. I think he is a guy who got very lucky. If he wasn't wealthy and famous I have a feeling he would have been in deep shit.

I never heard of this. What's the story exactly?

If I remember correctly (and it has been a while so I might be foggy on the details) there was a big police take down of a CP site in the UK. The police got the names and credit card numbers of all the people who bought memberships to the site. Pete was on that list. I believe there was an investigation into it and at the time he said he was researching a book then later said other things about it as mentioned above.

From what I understand they chose not to charge him with any crimes.

I see.
Isn't that the standard excuse? Investigating something?

Operation Ore was a British police operation that commenced in 1999 following information received from US law enforcement, which was intended to prosecute thousands of users of a website reportedly featuring child pornography. It was the United Kingdom's biggest ever computer crime investigation,[1] leading to 7,250 suspects identified, 4,283 homes searched, 3,744 arrests, 1,848 charged, 1,451 convictions, 493 cautioned and 140 children removed from suspected dangerous situations[2] and an estimated 33[3] suicides.[

Holy shit, 33 suicides!

Looks like the police fucked up pretty bad actually.

I was listening to an interview with him the other day.
He says after John Entwistle died, a portion of $ form the who tour was going to a charity that helped adults abused as children, and he was doing research.

Now the fact that no cp was found at all on him computer, does give some reality to that claim.

really good hour long about the who
the interviews up here http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00t3nsw only up for 3 more days though.

Newsgroups in Asia have been making claims like that for years. Wow, they are true.

Asia is not clean by any sense of the word for CP but they often say that US and EU elites want to control all of it due to "hideous western perversions" and the high high profits.

I feel clean being on this board and being in this biz with you guys considering the venom I have seen some of you spew over CP. I think peps trafficking in CP need to be shot where they find them.

Good post DV. Never knew.

meh. Just look at the guy..he has a classic pedo face/smile.. yeah ,right,for investigation.. i dont believe it..

and who's there in your avatar :winkwink:

Please don't encourage the imbecile. That idiot only posts controversial topics to get some sig views. That's basically his income.

Newspaper sales.

i'm aware of the irony :thumbsup

It will all go away and will be business as usual. Someone *may* take the fall, and then it will be done with.

Still amazes me reading about someone different in the newspaper each day claiming to have seen young girls get abused/raped, but do NOTHING about it.

I'd jail those cunts aswell to be honest...

This probably happens in every country. The powerful and connected always seem to get away with it, and carry on as usual. In the 90s there was a massive cover up in Belgium too.

For what its worth it seems to me that in UK, typically the authorities really dig deep and if they find stuff, they dont hide it.
I recall a few years ago where a woman (mother) had filed claim against PM Blair that he had put her son in harms way for illegal purposes. The complaint made it very high in the system, Blair was actually investigated.

I look forward to seeing the responsible people investigated in this case.
