It[the paedophile information exchange] was established in 1974 to campaign for the age of consent to be lowered to four years old
Did previous Tory and Labour governments fund the infamous Paedophile Information Exchange?
That's the remarkable claim made to me by a former Home Office insider this week.
PIE was established in 1974 to campaign for the age of consent to be lowered to four years old.
Many former members have been imprisoned for child abuse crimes.
People long dead like Peter Righton, who fooled the social work establishment that he cared for the safety of children, when all the time he was grooming kids for his own despicable ends.
PIE included many establishment figures like the highly qualified Dr Morris Fraser, who by day practiced as a child psychiatrist in Belfast but by night, was accused of preying on young vulnerable children.
The retired insider told me that he recalled raising his concern that the Volunteer Services Unit of the Home Office was directly funding the work of PIE.
His recollection was that he raised his fears with superiors but was left in no doubt that he should drop the matter.
I’ve written to the Home Secretary asking her to initiate an inquiry.
It’s not the first time Theresa has had to investigate her own department.
MPs have tried to expose wrongdoing by the PIE before.

Yeah.....
I`ve noticed all these celebrities being pulled in for sex crimes and it
was only something like last year when a Labour politician was asking
if the government were going to look into the thirty odd year paedophile ring
concerning the houses of parliament.
Everyone is in on it from the highest level so it looks like nothing will ever come out.

As has been shown with the Bryn Estyn case (Operation Pallial), the current generation of police are more than willing to approach these crimes head on and to redress the imbalance created by their corrupt predecessors, but no doubt, first, thousands will be wasted upon an inquiry instead of giving that money directly to the police, in terms of resources, to help them do the job that needs to be done.
If anything good has come of the Saville debacle, it is that these cases are being brought back into the limelight and can no longer be hushed up, and that no matter how long ago they happened, that the police are finally willing, and able, to listen to the victims, and arrest those implicated. 15 arrests so far, but heaven knows how many victims these predators have abused in the 30 years in between. Someone, eventually, has to take responsibilty for the failure to protect, but for now, the priority needs to be to get them locked up and off the streets.

Despite the fact that PIE disbanded in 1984, the name still seems to have some power and crops up from time to time in discussions, even in parliament.[13] In the discussions of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Bill in 2000, Sir Paul Beresford had this to say, for example:
“ Lightheartedly, I should like to ask the Minister to put himself in the shoes of a well-known paedophile – perhaps we could call him Gary, and imagine a little more hair and some high-heeled shoes to add some character. As a paedophile, Gary believes that it is acceptable to have sex with children. He thinks that the bulk of society is completely out of step. He belongs to a group called the paedophile information exchange, and he and his disgusting friends use the internet to exchange data, ideas, names, photographs and even films related to their paedophile activities. That is all stored electronically, and protected by a sophisticated encryption system. ”

I don't support the expansion of regulatory powers over the Internet - and hope this issue isn't being manipulated to gain support for any such thing. Still, pedophiles are worse than murderers in my opinion.

I see people all over many threads here on ATS talking about the NSA overstepping their bounds by spying on the internet but what if, just what if what they are doing is rounding up all of the degenerate people from around the world, rounding up all of the terrorists, all of the pedophiles, all of these knock em out criminals, all of the sickos that should not be within a CIVILization, personally I don't have a problem with what they are doing, if that is what they are doing. Yes I'm sure I'm going to get blasted here for saying that, but for those blasting me what is it that you have to hide. I am one of those people who could be tied to a polygraph machine and asked any question , and I would NOT BE ASHAMED to answer ANY QUESTION that I was asked, or put into other terms, I have nothing to hide. So I'm not worried about being exposed for who I am, as a matter of fact, I would be proud to put myself out there like that to prove my level of respectability. I would be honored to stand up and be counted. So if the NSA is doing all of this to round up the sickos that have no place in society anyway , I say round them up and get rid of the degenerate scrum within our society, if your not doing anything wrong then you have nothing to worry about.

While I'm sure there are abuses in the system, the difference between right and wrong does not change with the political winds, there are conservative and liberal beliefs that I consider to be the right thing for everyone, however crime is crime and needs to be exposed so that it cannot continue, I'm sure that there are that there are people in this country right now who have been punished for political beliefs, but we have bigger problems in this country that need to be fixed right now, murder, crimes against children, rape, drugs like crack,bath salts,crocadil, heroin, meth, human trafficking, there are more important things to focus on than political beliefs.
