The finger is starting to swing Tony Blair's way. It appears Blair caused the cessation of a police investigation into one of his minister's paedophilia. 2+2 is standing at 3.99 in Blair's case. Could there be more than just avoidance of political consequences? Could Blair be implicated?
"... At the time, Mr Driscoll was an experienced child protection detective. He went on to nail two racist thugs who murdered Stephen Lawrence.
But in 1998 he was taken off the Lambeth case and faced disciplinary proceedings for allegedly naming the politician among the suspects...."
"...Mr Driscoll’s investigation was scrapped soon after Ron Davies quit as Welsh Secretary when he was mugged by a male prostitute at a gay meeting spot on Clapham Common, South London, in October 1998.
A week later, Agriculture Minister Nick Brown was forced into revealing he was gay by the News of the World. Neither men are the minister suspected of child abuse.
Alastair Campbell’s entry for November 4, 1998, in his published diary, The Blair Years, states: “As TB said later, with a touch of black humour, we could get away with Ron as a one-off aberration, but if the public start to think the whole Cabinet is indulging in gay sex, we might have a bit of a political problem....”
"...Mr Blair’s spokesman refused to comment last night..." Quote:http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/tony-blair-minister-former-pms-3468050One of Tony Blair’s ministers was among a group of men suspected of sexually abusing children at a home run by a convicted paedophile.
But the probe was halted soon after an ex-social services boss told police of his alleged evening visits in the early 1980s.
Official documents seen by the Daily Mirror during a 16-month investigation reveal former residents told detectives that a group of paedophiles attacked children in a private flat in the home.
But two former Lambeth social services employees involved in the case suspect a cover-up because experienced detective Clive Driscoll was removed from the investigation and given other duties.
One, a former manager who alerted police in 1998, said: “One wonders why Scotland Yard would be so desperate to stop it being investigated.
"I believe it was stopped because somebody in power was trying to prevent any further investigation into the politician.”
And Dr Nigel Goldie, a council boss in charge of child protection in 1998, said: “There were some allegations that children were being abused by one or two prominent persons.
“There were a lot of very senior people trying to put a lid on it. There was something very unfortunate about the way the whole thing was dealt with.”
