Discussion
I was listening to a web radio piece earlier about historic sexual abuse against kids in care in Nottingham, Beechwood House and Melanie Shaw.
They mentioned that Savile was involved with something called the Kingfisher Project that involved him taking under privileged kids from Nottingham on trips to Wales.
One of the contributors said they came face to face with Alison Saunders the DPP woman as their paths crossed when they were at the entrance to premises in London. The show also said that the husband of Alison Saunders works at the same Chambers as David Cameron's brother. Perhaps it is as Dame Fiona Woolf said, in that once you're part of the establishment it's improssible not to have links to others?

Sounds like a good opportunity to build some new ones!

It seemed to be all about helping victims and stopping them committing suicide etc. with Humphreys asking what about treatment for offenders.
Medicalising paedophilia takes the load off of the police, the courts and the prisons doesn't it.

I don't normally post to this thread, but this headline conjured up an image of many posters to this thread getting very erm, excited.

Paedophilia has always been a medical term (in psychology at least). The term has no real meaning in law and is not mentioned nor defined in any UK legislation.Nobody has ever been prosecuted for being a 'paedophile'.

Saville's golden pass from the Thatcher government to wander into whatever institution he fancied and bugger kids is now fairly clear. He had dirt on Heath and would spill it if they didn't play ball. Wonderful world eh?
