History is written by the victors.
And the victors are the ones with the power. That is often the ones with the money.
However the state and its voters have more collective money and power.

This has really been triggered by the Savile scandal. It takes a certain threshold. The pity is that in many cases people knew about Savile and Harris but how do you spread the word in the face of slander & libel litigation? Communication! Farcebook is no good, people will say anything there, and always do.

I just hope that the puritanical zeal that is currently swamping our culture does not reach the excesses that saw a pediatrician seriously harrassed 20 years ago because there are vigilantes who can't spell pedophile.
