There are a number of news reports about Brittan that seek to exonerate him - or at least seek to undermine - allegations of Leon Brittan's paedophile activity.
As has been made clear above, there is sound evidence that Brittan did engage in paedophilia: three witnesses and a former customs officer - that the police consider credible and true.
It seems that senior Tories are attempting to put pressure on the police over their investigation into this affair. Besides the Daily Mail referenced below, Dan Hodges at the Daily Bellylaugh seems to be employing the same tactic.
This is the view from The Needle:
It seems evident to me that, besides Leon Brittan there is still a lot to come out that involved former or serving Conservative MP's (and doubtless many others) for this tactic to have been employed. Why else do it.

Quote:Tory Mandarins Close Ranks' Following Leon Brittan's Death
You'd have thought that these senior Tories who when asked to comment on an embarrassing development are the first to hide behind the need to not jeopardise ongoing police investigations when it suits them, would refrain from pressuring others to go public with information which might still be part of an important police investigation into VIP paedophiles.
I've a message for them;
The police will not be cowed by establishment pressure from political has-beens. The police will not be given the bum's rush because friends of a person who has come under police investigation think that he will be exonerated if more information is made public prematurely.
The Tories claim to be the party of law and order. That espoused respect for the law seems to be distinctly absent as they use the power of the Tory media to put pressure on the police with these juvenile responses.
"Put up or shut up'" a playground response to a grown up issue.
Politicians fuelling rumours about Leon Brittan's involvement in a Westminster cover up of child abuse were this morning ordered to come clean about what they know or shut up'.14 Comments
Former Cabinet colleague John Gummer, now Lord Deben, said MPs were making innuendos and insinuations in order to make themselves look as if they know something when they don't'. He said it was wicked' to make allegations without any evidence.
The Tory peer's outburst comes after campaigning MP Simon Danczuk said Lord Brittan's death was a sad day' for the victims of child abuse who wanted to question the former home secretary about the missing Dickens dossier' of paedophile allegations handed to him in the 1980s.

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.
