The Power of the Paedos - another high profile case hits the 'never happened' wall?

[David Guyatt]

Sir Michael Havers, brother of Baroness Butler-Sloss

Sir Michael Havers was appointed as Attorney General by Margaret Thatcher in 1979, and was made Baron Havers in 1987. He intervened three times between 1981 and 1983 to stop the investigation and exposure of Establishment paedophiles, and to prevent the publication of stories which showed that Establishment figures were members of the Paedophile Information Exchange.
Although none of this implicates Havers' sister, Baroness Butler-Sloss,in any way, it seems at the very least deeply inappropriate to have someone heading a historic' child abuse inquiry whose own brother played such a major role in the protection of Establishment paedophiles throughout the 1980s.

1981: Sir Peter Hayman
In 1981, Sir Michael Havers warned Geoffrey Dickens not to name senior diplomat Sir Peter Hayman as a paedophile in the House of Commons. Dickens ignored his advice, and was publicly condemned by Havers, who said "All Mr Dickens has done is make certain that Sir Peter's shame and embarassment is known to the world. There cannot be any justification whatsoever for what has happened. How can the public have gained by this? How can it be in the public interest to name this man?".
Sir Michael Havers defended the decision not to prosecute Hayman despite possessing a huge collection of images of child abuse including as Barry Dickens revealed earlier this week babies being abused in their prams. Dickens accued Sir Michael of taking part in a "whitewash and "the cover-up of the century".

1982: Elm Guest House
The Elm Guest House scandal involved powerful Establishment figures sexually abusing young boys at a guest house in Barnes. The story hit the headlines in August 1982 and ran for just 10 days, but then the coverage stopped suddenly and it wouldn't be mentioned again in a British newspaper for many years. The reason for this news blackout seems to have been threats of legal action. Sir Michael Havers "personally investigated" complaints against newspapers from lawyers representing Elm Guest House.

1983: Geoffrey Prime
Geoffrey Prime was a former Cheltenham GCHQ worker who was also spying for the Russians, and ended up being jailed for 38 years. He had also been charged with sex offences against two young girls, and during the raid on his home police discovered Paedophile Information Exchange literature that would only have been available to members of the organisation. The Sun reported this, and said that Sir Michael Havers had held back from mentioning Prime's PIE membership during his trial "to avoid embarassing security chiefs". Sir Michael complained to the Press Council, but The Sun stood by their story and refused to reveal their source. Geoffrey Dickens had raised The Sun's allegation in Parliament and forced Mrs Thatcher to make a strong denial.

You couldn't make this stuff up. It has political cover-up and keystone cops all over it. Does David Cameron and Theresa May really think all those deeply interested in this story weren't going to know who Butler-Sloss was and her compromised background? Cameron is running scared. And with good reason, I think.

Baroness Butler-Sloss was also appointed to head the inquiry into the death of Princess Diana and had to stand down when it was discovered, if I recall correctly? that she was receiving "grace and favour" housing from the Queen. Besides this during her time as the head of the Di inquiry she announced that she would "sit alone" to make judgements - which would effectively have made it a closed hearing. That sealed her fate. She was also Chairman of the Security Commission prior to its abolition in 2010. And as stated above, her brother was Sir Michael Havers who was deeply involved in this whole sordid affair.

If you wanted a safe pair of Establishment hands to steer the new inquiry to a desired conclusion, who could have been a better choice? Her appointment tells us everything that Cameron and May have in mind. Another political cover-up. No she will have to stand down, such is the pressure building against her and the government.

The Home Office has defended the appointment of Elizabeth Butler-Sloss as chair of a child abuse review.
A number of MPs have voiced private concern that her position is tainted as her late brother, Sir Michael Havers, was Attorney General in the 1980s.
That means he was in the job at the time of the alleged paedophile scandal.
He also faced criticism after he sought to stop Tory MP Geoffrey Dickens from naming in Parliament a top diplomat - Sir Peter Hayman - as a paedophile.
BBC News Channel chief political correspondent Norman Smith said a number of MPs had said they viewed Baroness Butler-Sloss's position as compromised.
One said he had already received emails from victims of child abuse to protest at her appointment because of her family connection.
One said he believed Lady Butler-Sloss, 80, would have to step down.
"This is an issue and I don't think it is going to end well," the MP said. "She is an honourable woman and I think she may well decide to stand down herself."
A Home office source, however, defended the appointment of Lady Butler- Sloss despite her family link to the controversy.
The source said: "She is a person of impeccable credentials and experience. Her record stands for itself regardless of her brother.
