Boris sez the investigation is "going well". I can't say that I find the Mayor's words reassuring...
Quote:Police reveal scale of Elm Guest House investigation into alleged paedophile ring
Cahal Milmo Paul Peachey
Independent on Sunday 09 June 2013
Scotland Yard is pursuing more than 300 lines of inquiry in its investigation into allegations that a VIP paedophile ring abused children in care during the 1980s.
The figure suggests that Operation Fernbridge, the investigation centred on historic allegations of abuse at the Elm Guest House in Barnes, south-west London, is a bigger inquiry than previously acknowledged and could lead to the identification of dozens of potential victims.
Detectives are focusing on claims from former residents of a care home run by Richmond Council that they were taken to the suburban guest house and assaulted by prominent individuals.
The Independent understands that the 300 investigative lines include allegations of multiple assaults on single individuals and a list of "several dozen" potential victims is being drawn up.
A Freedom of Information response containing the figure also reveals that seven officers are involved in the investigation compared with 77 on Operation Weeting, the inquiry into the News of the World phone hacking scandal.
Operation Fernbridge, which according to the FOI has so far cost £25,000 compared with the £11.2m cost of Weeting, was launched in January as a full-scale criminal investigation following an earlier "scoping exercise" a preliminary assessment of evidence concerning the alleged paedophile ring.
The Elm Guest House became known in the late 1970s as a meeting place for gay men still stigmatised in a country where homosexuality had been legalised barely a decade earlier and the age of consent for gay males was 21.
Operated by a German-born manager, Carole Kasir, it was close to Barnes Common, a popular cruising spot for homosexual men, and was allegedly used by rent boys as a place to bring clients.
But officers are investigating material alleging that boys from the nearby children's home in care of the local authority were abused at the guest house, which was allegedly frequented by public figures including politicians, judges and pop stars.
Two people have so far been arrested as part of the inquiry.
London Mayor Boris Johnson said last week he understood that the Fernbridge inquiry was "going well", according to the investigative website Exaro. Mr Johnson said that because it was an operational policing matter he could not comment further.

And like the film, most of Plod's work will become "fake reality" for the express purpose of keeping the "go-nowhere-at-all-sensitive" investigation on proper track, keeping the media happy with regular anodyne updates, and avoiding the arrest and charging of the most powerful and government connected paedophiles.
All in day's work for our fabulous bend-over Boys in Blue.

Another ageing thespian in denial.....
Quote:Jeremy Irons 'feels sorry' for those accused of abuse
Actor says girls of the 70s were 'goers'.
Jeremy Irons is beginning to make a habit of expressing his controversial views on controversial subjects.
The star of films like 'Die Hard With A Vengeance' and Adrian Lyne's adaptation of 'Lolita' has now weighed in on the on-going sexual abuse scandals involving TV stars of the 70s and 80s.
In one of his more inflammatory remarks during an interview with the Sunday Times, Irons described the girls of the 70s as 'goers'.
"I mean look at 'Top of the Pops'," he said. "What were those girls doing there? What did they want, the lot of them, when they hung around the caravans and trailers afterwards?
"There was a sort of sexual freedom. To have all that dragged up for something relatively innocuous - that's tough. They seem to be in a mood to pillory anybody.
"There is a blanket term for child abuse, and if the worst thing you have done was put your hand on someone's thigh under their skirt, that may be sexual abuse, but it's not like buggering a nine-year-old boy."
Irons, who is 64 and married to actress Sinead Cusack, added that he felt 'incredibly sorry for... the television guy on Coronation Street', referring to William Roache, who is facing several charges of abuse of girls aged between 11 and 16.
He then went on to say: "I mean, Jimmy Savile - well, I won't go there because that just sounds appalling, but... one hears that [sexual abuse] mostly happens within families, anyway. And I haven't seen Operation Yewtree getting many fathers or mothers."
It's not the first time or even the first time recently that Irons has shocked with his views.
Earlier this year, after being asked his thoughts on gay marriage, he mused rather strangely on what effects loosening of the law might have, including whether fathers might be allowed to marry sons for tax purposes.
"I worry that it means we change or debase what marriage is," he said. "Tax-wise it's an interesting one. Could a father not marry his son? It's not incest between men. Incest is there to protect us from inbreeding. But men don't breed, so incest wouldn't cover that."
He said in a later interview with the BBC that he wished he'd 'buttoned his lip' over the remarks.
"I think gay marriage is wonderful. I think any reason that holds anybody together in a relationship is great," he said.
"If it works as glue, if it makes you feel better, if it makes you feel you love your partner more, then great."
He may, however, wish he'd also 'buttoned his lip' over these latest comments...

Howe does anyone justify this? Michael Gove, the Education Secretary doesn't want to make it mandatory to report child sex abuse at schools in the future? Exaro has the breaking story HERE. What other explanation can there than that this amounts to a molesters charter?

This is outrageous.
For decades, our churches - notably the Catholic Church, but not uniquely - simply moved paedophile priests from diocese to diocese whenever they were caught abusing children.
The Archbishops and Right Reverends and Holinesses justified their behaviour by stating that they were "not obliged to report child abuse to the police".
Now, in 2013, the British government wants to continue such nonsense and perpetuate such horrors.

This is unbelievable. Just who is this bastard? Sounds like he's up to his arse in child abuse himself. I mean what other explanation is there to block such reporting?

Dawn, he is an influential member of David Cameron's Cabinet and holds Minister of Education appointment. He is slated to be the next possible Prime Minister when Cameron is forced out of office - probably not in the too distant future as things currently stand ------ because that story about the 10 Downing Street sex affair published last Sunday and which is currently under super injunction will eventually leak, and those who know the names of the two involved categorically state that it will completely finish offCameron.
Bye bye Dave!
