Britain Investigates Alleged VIP Pedophile Ring From '70s and '80s By CHRISTINA BOYLE

British authorities say accounts of alleged abuse of boys in the 1970s and '80s are 'credible and true' The allegations about so-called VIP pedophiles involve prestigious London addresses, some of the highest-ranking members of Britain’s establishment and the suspected abuse of young boys in the 1970s and 1980s, including three who were slain.

Six members of Parliament have been implicated in the scandal, which threatens to expose a powerful political elite who may have raped and exploited juveniles for more than a decade and put their self-interests ahead of the protection of children.

Presented Scotland Yard with a dossier that he said names 22 high-profile figures, including three serving in the House of Commons and three members of the House of Lords, who are believed to have been involved in a pedophile ring. There are no allegations that the six members of Parliament were involved in incidents in which children died.

The dossier includes the names of 14 Conservative politicians, five Labor politicians and three from other parties, Mann told reporters.

Seems that these scandals only come to lght when the perps are long gone fro office.
Where are the esteemed journalists when this is really occurring. Rhetorical question.

Ask any gay rights activist. There is no such thing as a gay pedophile.
This is some kind of rightwing conspiracy.

Did I use all the politically correct excuses to alibi a vicious sadistic baby raping pervert?

There’s not enough detail in this article
to get a sense of the veracity of the claims.

The idea that only dead politicians so far
are implicated could point to a cover-up conspiracy
by extremely powerful individuals, or it may
point back to false accusers who don’t want
to be exposed as such.

This article by itself is not worth much.

You think this one's a hoax, too?

Way past time. There’s stories that the Dunblane shooter had ties to these creeps, might explain why the relevant docs have been sealed for decades by Blair.

This has been in the press for over a year. A few people who supported pedophil rights back then were found out and forced to resign last year. And a Belgian case was a big scandal awile back. But a lot of these cases are ignored because of the powerful libel laws.

The UK Guardian has published a few articles about it,
and few reports in the American press of course.

I don’t know anything about the truth or otherwise of the allegations but I have been told by a source I consider both trustworthy and likely to know about some of the people named in the dossier. They are people who were significant in the Thatcher government and there are people on the left who would like to give them a negative label as a way of trying to discredit them. When they are dead, this is a very easy way of trying to destroy their legacy.

There have been enough coverups that any allegation must be investigated with an open mind - but even the dead should be considered innocent until proven guilty.

I do not think all of the claims made in the Franklin coverup were part of a hoax. I don’t have enough information regarding these claims to say yea or nay on it being a hoax.
