Dear Jeremy, As you know, for decades there was widespread child sexual abuse taking place in the London Borough of Islington. The extent of the abuse was only uncovered through the tenacity and bravery of whistle-blowers, journalists and survivors which led to a number of independent inquiries and the damning Ian White report in 1995. As with the rest of the country, the reality is that child abuse was rampant, ignored, covered up and the extent of it is only just beginning to come to light. The attitude was that of the Head of MI5, who was revealed yesterday to have written about a paedophile MP to the then Cabinet Secretary Sir Robert Armstrong in 1986: ‘At the present stage…the risks of political embarrassment to the government is rather greater than the security danger’
. . .
My concern is about your politics and how that results in actions, or in this case non-actions. As we have seen with the appalling misjudgements of the NCCL and its allowance of membership to the Paedophile Information Exchange in the 1970s, sections of the left were in denial of the motivations of some campaigners and this unwillingness to face up to unpalatable possibilities clouded judgement over the most serious of allegations.
In fact the allegations were true and are true as survivors increasingly choose to speak out. The establishment and sections of the left stood by and allowed children’s lives to be destroyed.
The reason that your response and inactions to these matters is worthy of specific scrutiny is that unlike others who did not see what was happening, or as we saw with Saville, kept their suspicions to themselves rather than speak out or investigate, you are wishing to lead the Labour Party during the period of Goddard inquiry into child abuse and are seeking become Prime Minister.

Campaigners slam Tories for ruling out Orgreave inquiry

This is all fascinating but personally, I couldn't give a crap about Labour, but I do care about Tory-bashing, because that party is the most vile & corrupt party I ever witnessed in this country, the people of the U.K. should be uniting against this party and standing up to where they're trying to take this country

I think the most important point here is the idea that JC is covering up the abuse if children. Not a tory vs lab debate.
Got any more links Kester? About JC covering up.

Strangely enough, that's exactly the same view I take of Labour and why I support the Tories. Funny how people can have such polar opposite views of things.

Definitely not just a labour thing. If anything the background of the tories indicates child abuse. Their schools, their clubs, their practises.

Have you ever heard of the term 'faggoting out'?
Have you ever researched the effects of being faggoted out at public school on the mind of a male?
It's not pretty.
I am not generalising about all public schools and pupils within... Only a tight circle. But it DOES go on and it IS a fact.

Margaret Hodge, the children's minister, will deliver an apology in the high court . . . pay his legal costs and make a charitable donation, which will go to Nacro (National Association for the Care and Resettlement of Offenders).
A statement issued last night from Ms Hodge said: "Solicitors for Mr Panton and myself have been in discussion to work out the implications of those requests. I can confirm that we have agreed the following. A statement in court will be made reiterating the apology. "I will donate £10,000 to Nacro and have agreed to pay Mr Panton's legal costs."
With this in mind, perhaps the easiest option for Corbyn would have been to remain largely silent. Is that the path he chose? Demetrious Panton certainly thinks so. Now a successful barrister, he has spent much of the past 20 years campaigning for justice for fellow child abuse victims, many of whom were Corbyn’s constituents, and says he has no recollection of the MP ‘making any public comments’ about it.

Of course both sides. One party is no better than the other in most respects. I'm not here to support any political party. It's a waste of one's time.

From 1994 to 1997, I was a ministerial advisor on child protection for the Department of Health. I have seen the files. I know what was going on. There were serious and credible allegations that some care homes for children in Islington operated as brothels, with small children hired out for sexual abuse. Islington Council doggedly tried to obstruct the investigation. The main culprit was Margaret Hodge (former minister for children – the irony!) who now chairs the Parliamentary Accounts Committee but was then leader of Islington Council. She was strongly supported in her obstructionism by Jeremy Corbyn.
. . .
As recently as November 2014, Corbyn in effect lied to the House of Commons. He implied that, although there had been instances of sexual abuse of children in Islington, the council had investigated and done their best to put things right. In fact, he knows fine well that Islington Council fought tooth and nail to avoid an investigation. When a report was prepared, they blocked its publication for 20 years. Does the Labour Party want a leader that lies to the House of Commons? What is worse is the foolishness of trying to cover this up. It has been all over the internet for many years.
