Exclusive: Former Conservative minister Sir Peter Morrison allegedly lured 14-year-old to London and sexually abused him in a guesthouse reportedly used by a Westminster paedophile ring
One of Margaret Thatchers closest confidantes raped a teenage boy 30 years ago but escaped justice when Scotland Yard covered up the crime, it has been alleged.
Police are investigating claims that Sir Peter Morrison lured the 14-year-old to London and sexually abused him in a guesthouse reportedly used by a Westminster paedophile ring.
A former Conservative minister, Morrison was first exposed as a serial child abuser in 1998, three years after he died from a heart attack. But the MP for Chester was never charged with any crime during his lifetime.
Speaking to The Telegraph, the alleged victim, now aged 46, said he and his family reported Morrison to Scotland Yard in 1982, hours after the teenager had escaped the MPs clutches.

Seems contradictory, doesn't it?

...
The next day, two Scotland Yard detectives arrived at the house and took a full four-page statement from the boy, in which he told them everything he knew about Peter the barrister.
...
It was only a number of years later that the alleged victim says he recognised Morrison as an MP in the Thatcher government, and discovered he had never in fact served any prison sentence.

(5,082 posts)Look what exCIA Director William Colby said about Dick Cheney. Nick Bryant also wrote an excellent book that the trolls will surely disparage even though the guy is one of the most famous child advocates.
Sex crimes are endemic in all post modern societies. Sex addiction is a disease. It is a disease that is actually celebrated while simultaneously shunning its victims. Even though European attitudes are in fact more mature and less uptight than ours, their predilection to wards perversion is just as likely maybe more so.
Its an issue that will demand our attention if we ever expect to have an honest discussion about sexuality and crime and mental illness.
We have bizarre attitudes that have led to even more bizarre laws and the ever changing and pervasive enforcement of these laws. By being selective in how we enforce them, we are a criminal society. By ignoring facts, and relying on stereotypes to govern our social policy, we are all complicit.

(429 posts)There are people in Britain determine to expose the hideous epidemic of child rape among the elite. The Jimmy Savile case was the final outrage. We should do the same.

No member of the ring will speak out against another in the ring because they know if they do the skeletons in their own closets will be exposed and they will be destroyed.
Similar things go on in the Catholic Church and in street gangs.
I'm fairly certain the entire Reagan/Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld evil empire is held together by some very dark secrets and cover-ups, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if the Thatcher conservatives are the same.
There's no chance at all an honest "conservative" with no skeletons in the closet would be accepted into the inner circles of these gangs.

I'm not convinced that John Decamp is the guy for the job , however much his work is appreciated. One guy filled with outrage cannot take on by himself, the media, the judicial system and the general entrapments of the ruling class.
One keeps wondering if this is a cultural problem that keeps getting ignored in pursuit of social control.

The title is in reference to that, "after investigation, a grand jury in Douglas County (of which Omaha, Nebraska is the largest city and county seat) determined the abuse allegations were baseless, describing them as a "carefully crafted hoax" and indicted two of the accusers on perjury charges."

The video below addresses the Johnny Gosch abduction, and "builds on the mountain of existing evidence to present a portrait of Johnny, Paul, Alisha and the rest of the throwaway kids whose lives were fatefully intertwined in the disturbing world of child prostitution."
Disturbing is putting it mildly.

"In late February, when Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed the nation's harsh new anti-gay bill into law, he claimed the measure had been "provoked by arrogant and careless western groups that are fond of coming into our schools and recruiting young children into homosexuality." What he failed to mention is that the legislationwhich makes homosexuality a crime punishable by life in prison in some caseswas itself largely due to Western interlopers, chief among them a radical American pastor named Scott Lively."
"Lively, a 56-year-old Massachusetts native, specializes in stirring up anti-gay feeling around the globe. In Uganda, which he first visited in 2002, he has cultivated ties to influential politicians and religious leaders at the forefront of the nation's anti-gay crusade. Just before the first draft of Uganda's anti-gay bill began circulating in April 2009, Lively traveled to Kampala and gave lengthy presentations to members of Uganda's parliament and cabinet, which laid out the argument that the nation's president and lawmakers would later use to justify Uganda's draconian anti-gay crackdownnamely that Western agitators were trying to unravel Uganda's social fabric by spreading "the disease" of homosexuality to children."
