Sometimes, often, too often, The Innocents and Fools must be sacrificed in public for the good of Guilty Men.
Guilty Men Hide in Plain Sight.
Cloaked in many robes of silk and ermine....
They pass, as though they might be the likes of us.
But they are not Us. Nor do they answer to Us.
Or any Court of Uses.
My heart sank as I began to read this:-
"... Can it any longer be said that the allegations of Colin Wallace are to be believed only by wild men of the Left, such as Ken Livingstone (or the author), who are wedded to notions of conspiracies in the state machine? It's is worth recalling in this context that many of the people in the centre of British politics - Humphrey Berkley, Alex Carlile, Laura Grimind - who have studied the case carefully are inclined to believe what Colin says."

I read on with further dismay:
"In July of 1987, on the prompting of Humphrey Berkley, a formidable trio of politicians decided to set themselves up as an informal committee of inquiry into what Fred and Colin were saying. They were Roy Jenkins of the SDP [Athenaeum], a former Home Secretary, Merlyn Reese from the Labour Party, a former Home Secretary [Secretary of State for Northern Ireland at the time of the alleged epidemic of Child Abuse, Member of Parliament for Leeds South - assuming the seat upon the (mysterious, untimely) death of Hugh Gaitskel - and Home Secretary 1976 - 1979, during the Salad Days of the Yorkshire Ripper "investigation" fiasco by West Yorkshire's Plod Bretheren], and the former Prime Minister, Edward Heath. [...!]

Heath, out!! Heath, out!! Heath, out!!
If only he COULD have bloody come out, several hundred lives might have been saved from ruin, trauma and torment... Indeed, saved outright, seems more likely the case....
There's the rub.
At school, there was a clichéd (and not very funny, even then) euphemistic description used of a particularly uncomfortable, warm, close day that went "I'm sweating worse than a nonce in Toys R' Us.
As crass, insensitive and obnoxious as the imagary of that simile goes, it doesn't begin to cover the sheer depths of corrupt depravity implicit in putting Heath in charge of such an investigative tribunal, unofficial as though it may be.
To say the lunatics have taken over the asylum does short shrift to lunacy.
As bitter experience, many times bitten forever shy has taught the student of the politics of the Deep State and Shadow Government over and over again, as Barbara Honnigar once so eloquently distill this bitter truth:
"The Iran Contra Committee Hearrings, like the Tower Commison before them, IN AND OF THEMSELVES was a Cover-up"

Jimmy Savile, star of children's television favourite Jim'll Fix-It, sued the Sun in 2008 over a series of articles linking him to Haut de la Garenne, the Jersey children's home where human remains were found and children were allegedly tortured and sexually abused.
He initially denied ever visiting the home, despite photographic evidence to the contrary.
Savile's reaction was to slap an injunction on The Sun who had to withdraw the picture.
This was followed with a series of articles.
One asserted that Savile was unwilling to assist with the police investigation and another that he admitted having visited the home.
But then it brings in Edward Heath:
One of those who stood most to lose was Sir Edward Heath, the former prime minister from 1970-74, who was known to visit the Jersey care home the Haute Garenne among others to take young boys on boating weekends on his yacht called 'Morning Cloud', or as his bodyguards referred to it, 'Morning Sickness'.
The person bringing children for him to abuse is Sir Jimmy Saville.
He was seen by the witness, victim, taking young boys onboard Heath's yacht The Morning Cloud when they were at party conference.
Allegedly Saville is known for supplying a number of high profile MP's with children for them to sexually abuse.
As a writer on Fortean Times notes:
"The sites which carried the Jersey picture usually segue into a very lurid mythos which has Savile pimping boys to Edward Heath for orgies on his yacht.
We are just a few yards from the Twilight Zone of pedophile lizards . . ."
[Yeah - funny, that...]
The Disclosure Project site, which also has the same allegations about Heath, also notes:
"Heath was warned on 4 occasions by the head of the Metropolitan police not to loiter in London's lavatories and not to try to pick up young boys.
Nonetheless, he quickly fell prone blackmailers who insisted he dress up in a ridiculous Gestapo uniform in which he was photographed.
Under threat of exposure Heath was forced to enter Britain into the Common Market, now the European Union, under very unfavourable conditions.
It is still a bone of contention among scholars how he became PM in front of the immensely popular and scholarly Enoch Powell who to all intents and purposes should have been Prime Minister.
We are drifting very far from credible truth here, and I think the notion that Edward Heath had a hidden private life, dressed up in a Gestapo Uniform (and no photos have come to light) and was blackmailed into joining the Common Market is a complete fantasy.
David Ike's site goes one step further, and has Heath not only involved in Satanic rituals, but also - according to an eyewitness - shape-shifting into a reptilian, during a ritual.
But the Heath story is interesting, because Heath is also linked to sexual abuse scandals regarding the Kincora boys' home in Ireland.
The earliest version of this in my lifetime was the Kincora boys' home affair in Northern Ireland in the 1970s.
Then, three gay men working there had abused the boys in their care for almost 20 years.
They had survived complaints from the boys, parents and other care workers, because one of them, the late William McGrath, was not only a senior figure in the Orange Order and a friend of the Reverend Ian Paisley, but also an informant for MI5.
Rumours spread of boys being taken to big country houses to be used by public figures, including Lord Mountbatten, the former head of MI6, Maurice Oldfield, and Edward Heath. These rumours are still circulating on the Internet.'
Where did these rumours come from?
Colin Wallace, a former MI5 officer, revealed that they were part of a plan by MI5 to discredit Heath, so that he would have to give way to a Prime Minister more in keeping with a stronger security service.
Colin Wallace, was an army intelligence officer attached to MI5 who resigned in 1976 protesting about MI5's anti-Wilson activities, but he says they also extended to Heath:
Wallace claims part of these covert psychological operations (known as 'psyops') were designed to prevent the election and re-election of a Labour regime.
'We also had a campaign going against Edward Heath and other prominent Tory MPs thought to be too liberal', says Wallace.
'The aim was to discredit them politically by planting smear stories against them in the press. '
For example, Heath and other bachelor politicians were wrongly 'linked' to homosexual scandals, such as the Kincora boys' home affair in Ulster.
The ultimate aim, Wallace says, was to remove Heath as leader of the Conservative Party and replace him with someone of a more resolute approach to political and industrial unrest.
Footy, you buried the lead - this is Big News!!!
This WAS big news...
It IS Big News, still..!!
"Meanwhile, Colin was making some headway in the political world... Lady Grimond took the papers to Alex Carlile, MP, legal affairs spokesman for the Alliance, as the Liberals and SDP then called themselves. Colin was summoned to the House of Commons for a long meeting with Carlile, which resulted in an extraordinary press release on 2 March [1987]:
"It is clear that Collin Wallace, a principled man, knew too much about the Kincora Boys' Home scandal. Since his trial and conviction in 1981 for manslaughter of antique dealer Johnathan Lewis, facts have emerged which suggest Mr. Lewis may well have been killed by some person or persons other than Colin Wallace, in a successful attempt to frame Wallace.
These facts suggest a link may exist between the Kincora affair and the fate of both Wallace and Lewis. I have asked the Home Secretary to refer Mr. Wallace's conviction to the Court of Appeal. This is a case in which justice may have been foiled by intruige."
The release was printed in the small-circulation Today newspaper (3rd March 1987) but nowhere else in the British media. Carlile put down his question to the Home Secretary, which was deflected, and asked for an adjournment debate, which was refused because the House was about to rise for Easter. Two and a half months later, Mr. Carlile made another even more extraordinary statement in Sunday Today (17 May 1987) :
"I believe there are many people in high laces and within the security services who feel I'll-will towards Wallace for exposing their activities. The question is that if MI5 was prepared to kill to get even with Wallace, why not kill him?
It may be that Wallace's allegations about MI5 Officers involved him in activities verging on the treasonable were widely known - so if any harm came to him the finger would point directly to them.
I have tried repeatedly in the House to get an adjournment in the conviction and will continue to do so."
The Right Honourable Alex Carlile was the Liberal MP for Montgomeryshire in the Welsh borders from 1983 to 1997, whereupon he was succeeded in his parliamentary seat by Lembit Opik and elevated to The Lords.
If you're the age I am, you view the Liberal Democratic Party of the UK through the lens of turncoat also-rans (Clegg), quirky eccentrics (Huhne), morose Whiskey-soaked alcoholics that couldn't make the cut in a major party (Kennedy), true Mavericks (Menzies-Campbell)... And, in their highest aspiration, true statesmen that transcend partisan politics possessing of gravitas, experience tempered with true humility.
Unfortunately, there aren't too many of those, and they have always been in short supply.
It's just a shame there's only ever going to be one Paddy Ashdowne in the world, because it makes you truly forget just truly how many real weirdos, freaks and headcases third party politics attracts like moths to it's flame.
Detectives leading Operation Pallial will give an update on their probe later today

Q: How do you get three Liberal MPs to sit on the same small milking stool?
A: Just turn it upside down
This is Carlile's old parliamentary constituency, Montgomeryshire:
Guess where the Bryn Estyn Care Home is....?
If you were to have said "Wrexham[Wrecsam], Mortimershire", you would have been correct.
Welsh care home investigation: Police findings published today
Detectives probing historic allegations of abuse in Welsh care homes will reveal their findings today after more than one hundred victims came forward.
Operation Pallial led by Director General of the National Crime Agency Keith Bristow will give an update on its progress after beginning its investigation in early November.
So far the probe, supported by the Serious and Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), has resulted in just one arrest made over the allegations centring on North Wales care homes in the 1970s and 1980s.
The man, taken into custody in Ipswich, has been released on bail after being accused of “a number of serious sexual offences against a number of individuals”.
Tony Gregory, who says he suffered physical abuse in Wrexham care home Bryn Estyn between 1977 and 1978, wants culprits who have escaped justice for decades jailed.
Mr Gregory, 51, from Wrexham, who has suffered with depression all his adult life and struggled to hold down a job, said: “People are still walking free that should have been jailed years ago.”
Mr Gregory, who says he was sectioned for several months when the abused scandal re-emerged late last year, added: “Nobody has ever admitted any liability. We’ve been told it was a farce and we were telling lies because we were all after making a bit of money.”
Mr Gregory’s, brother Keith, 55, a Wrexham councillor, has said he was also abused during his time in the care system in the early 1970s.
The Gregory brothers suggest the abuse went much wider than the Waterhouse Inquiry, which published its report Lost in Care in 2000, found.
In line with its remit, this £13m inquiry focused on abuse in care homes in the former North
Wales counties of Clwyd and Gwynedd.
The report dealt with more than 650 cases of child abuse in 40 care homes over a 20-year period.
The team involved in Operation Pallial has said some of the recent allegations are new and have never been reported or investigated previously.
But as well as investigating fresh allegations Pallial is also reviewing the historic police probes.
Pallial was one of two investigations announced by Prime Minister David Cameron after abuse victim Steve Meesham wrongly claimed Lord McAlpine had abused him.
Mr Meesham was interviewed on the BBC’s Newsnight programme and the segment began with the words “this man says a leading Conservative from the time was one of his abusers”.
Former Tory treasurer Lord McAlpine’s name was not mentioned on the programme, but it quickly began appearing on websites before Mr Meesham apologised and said it was a case of mistaken identity.
Alongside the SOCA probe Mrs Justice Macur will consider whether the Waterhouse tribunal’s terms of reference were too ‘narrow’.
But the investigations have been criticised as knee-jerk reactions after Mr Messham’s apology.
Also the BBC was accused of going back to Mr Meesham years after an original interview in order to deflect attention from its own mishandling of the Jimmy Savile affair.
The programme’s editors had earlier decided against airing a report linking the TV personality to child abuse.
Retired Bryn Estyn teacher Gwen Hurst says while she would never deny children were abused at the Wrexham home the scale has been exaggerated to maximise compensation payments.
Among former Bryn Estyn staff convicted of offences was house master Peter Howarth, locked up for 10 years in 1994 for violating boys as young as 12. He died behind bars.
Steven Norris, another senior member of staff at Bryn Estyn, pleaded guilty to three offences of buggery, one of attempted buggery and three of indecent assault.
Mrs Hurst, who worked at Bryn Estyn between 1975 and 1983, said: “All I know is that Waterhouse cost the country about £13m investigating all these things and spent considerable time over it.
“What he was doing was well publicised and everybody had the opportunity to come forward then and some of them did. Then why all of a sudden should it all appear again?”
If you are a victim of historic child abuse in North Wales, a witness or have any information, contact the Operation Pallial team 9am to 5pm weekdays on 0800 118 1199. A message can be left outside these times.
For his part, Lembit Opik is well-known for nurturing a constantly rotating, fine selection of beards over the years in public.
