I've read before about paedophiles being high up in the police government and the royal family. I see jimmy was good friends with prince Phillip. What does sound strange is that they want his body put in a unmarked grave and have taken his head stone. But yet still no one has said about stripping him of his knight hood...... He was well protected in high places..

There are pedophiles whom cant rub 2 nickels toegether as well. The question is, is the percentage of pedophiles among people of power higher than in the general population and if so why?

I totally take your point about the delay, but this is a huge investigation and I'm hopefully assuming that the team dealing with this know precisely what they're doing and any subsequent charges will stick for good. There must be so much evidence, and we're now dealing with people who are still alive and will obviously put up a fight.

OK, I don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but to date to me it looks a bit odd that those brought to public notice during Operation Yewtree are:

1) Famous and influential in their time but now dead.

2) Minor ex-celebrities of no consequence but well-known so it looks like Operation Yewtree is making progress.

3) Living influential public figures but found to be innocent, or are victims of mistaken identity.

So... it looks like no Big Names have done anything wrong. Interesting...

sacrifice the minor to save the major, you and Elliott 'hit the nail on the head' IMO

What is also suspicious about these cases is that the police and CPS are not interested in investigating sex crimes that occurred 'yesterday' never mind umpteen years ago, so this is 'strange and out of character' for our usual lovable plod in the UK.
