When info started to become public in 2013 or so, several present day pols were involved in investigation.

It was learned that many documents were missing, among other massive 'fails'.

Whoever the 8 men named in the Dickens dossier were, they're likely dead now - and certainly not in positions of power.

With the devastating exposure of Beech the whole thing suddenly appears discredited.

I've always thought that Brian should be looked at - friends with two paedophiles - Van Der Post & Savile, and so friendly with a third - Ball - that he provided him with a house even after abuse had been admitted. And his brother was, of course, mates with Epstein.

People in the States would go, “Huh?”

Thanks for the heads-up, bobbieinok.

Child sexual abusers are only ashamed when caught.

They’re only stopped when in jail.

Or dead.
