Jimmy Savile far from being a generous man and all round national hero turned out to be in fact everything from paedophile to rapist to necromancer. His downfall brought to our attention the possibility of the existence and ongoing activities of a very highly placed and influential paedophile ring. Its too early to say if the whole scandal will be brushed under the carpet (some might say again) but we can see that this latest investigation is already taking a very long time to get anywhere at all. Too Long. We now have the story of a tory minister apparently filmed at the scene of a party to add to what is already known but so far the only people to be charged with any offence are what the MSM would describe as C or even D listing. We are told nothing more about the ex minister than that he, anonymously of course...insists he did not 'inhale'. More than a bit sus imo and well past time for the thumb screws and rack.
Liam Adams is a case I have taken some interest in and it was both a relief and a pleasure to see him found guilty and sentenced. His sexual abuse of his daughter from the age of four, the support of his brother Gerry Adams in continuing to help Liam when he knew he was guilty of incest, and the alleged neglect of the police and social services in bringing charges against Liam gave this case an added intensity. Its all the more worrying because it highlights the danger of lawless little fiefdoms, the total dishonesty of the kangaroo courts the leaders of the fiefdoms presided over and the blind eye the authorities may have turned in order to keep a tout on side.
Edward Snowden so different from the Adams family and Savile. Here is a man who acted to help us all by doing as much as he could to prevent the American NSA but also and by extension the security agencies of other western countries illegally hacking the email and other internet accounts of millions of people. Who knows if he is fully safe now or if he will ever be safe again.
Royal Baby. Tbh it has not been easy to think of a good news story but since a healthy child is always good news I thought I would fill the gap by mentioning The duke and duchess of Cambridge first child. A boy named George etc. etc. he will no doubt grow to know his place.
Nelson Mandela died aged 94. I might at some stage go into more of his history but for now let me say I think his time on Robin Island was sufficient for his crimes and made him a good leader of South Africa at a time of great change. Twenty seven years in prison, sometimes doing hard labour, is not in itself a recommendation. The best I can say of Mandela is that he used his experience to help others.
