Maybe it's time to widen this whole issue and leave our tame Establishment cap-doffer to wallow in his swill
Sexual predation is an aspect of an unequal society, the privileged and powerful preying on the weak and dependent
It first surfaced big-time with the clerical abuse scandals, covered up by the church heirarchy
Then came the Knight of the realm, Sir Jimmy Savile and CBE holder, Rolf Harris revelations, when leading entertainers with access to children and teenagers, were found to be abusing them
Then Cinema and theatre people
Now politicians
The latter has involved those at the top of the tree - even a PRIME MINISTER
All these have been covered up by hose at the top - the heirarchy of the church knew what was happening - some of them were involved.
The media moguls were aware of Savile's behaviour and did nothing to stop him
The 'casting couch' was a running joke in the film industry.
Now, it transpires, Parliamentary privilege was taken for granted as 'boys being boys'
Recently charities and sporting organisations have been brought to public notice
As far as I am concerned, all these are aspects of a rotten system running down
About ******* time (pardon the pun)
