I am not sure what to make of this ---- good or bad? Yewtree, for me, have been a PR project. Arrest show-biz stars, then re-arrest them, but stay well away from the really powerful and influential players. Operations Fernbridge and Fairbanks have held out hope but "imminent arrests" haven't materialised.
The better report is at Exaro.com, HERE - but you'll have to pay £1 to read it. Alternatively the following article from the Sunday People newspaper that have been working with the Exaro team:
"He has just decided to take up this new post." Yeah, right.
Exaro says in their piece that the Met intends to level the first charges under Operation Fernbridge this month.
Who they arrest and charge will probably tell us if the cover-up continues as usual, or if the investigations are genuine and intend to finally, do the right thing. My breath, I am not holding though.

Quote:Police chief Peter Spindler quits Operation Yewtree celebrity sex abuse inquiry for watchdog role
6 Apr 2013 21:00
The Scotland Yard commander had overseen a string of high-profile arrests, including Freddie Starr, Jim Davidson, and Max Clifford
Scotland Yard commander Peter Spindler has dramatically quit in the middle of the high-profile investigation into Jimmy Savile and other celebrities, the Sunday People reports.
The decision has surprised insiders who expected Spindler to see Operation Yewtree through to the finish.
He had overseen a string of high-profile arrests, including Freddie Starr, 70, Jim Davidson, 59, and Max Clifford, 70.
But last week Spindler began a two-year secondment to the police watchdog Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, the investigative website Exaro and the Sunday People have learned.
Det Chief Supt Hamish Campbell, who led the Jill Dando murder inquiry, has temporarily been put in charge of Yewtree. Spindler, a politics graduate from Warwick university, was the public face of the Met's investigation into Savile and famously said that the *disgraced BBC presenter had "groomed the nation".
The Met's report into Savile, who died in 2011 aged 84, revealed more than 200 criminal offences, including 34 rapes.
But Spindler has faced criticism over the strategy of arresting people 12 so far, including celebrities when in some cases there *appears to be insufficient *evidence to bring charges.
Spindler also had *responsibility for Operations Fernbridge and Fairbank, investigating *other high-profile figures allegedly linked to child abuse.
A Met spokeswoman confirmed his departure, telling Exaro: "He has just decided to take up this new post," adding, "That was his desire."
"He has just decided to take up this new post." Yeah, right.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
