How Thatcher’s Government Covered Up a VIP Pedophile Ring
Now that most of the major figures are dead, the truth is emerging about the systematic sexual abuse of children by members of the British government.Excerpt:
03.06.15
LONDON A newspaper editor was handed startling evidence that Britains top law enforcement official knew there was a VIP pedophile network in Westminster, at the heart of the British government. What happened next in the summer of 1984 helps to explain how shocking allegations of rape and murder against some of the countrys most powerful men went unchecked for decades.
Less than 24 hours after starting to inquire about the dossier presented to him by a senior Labour Party politician, the editor was confronted in his office by a furious member of parliament who threatened him and demanded the documents. He was frothing at the mouth and really shouting and spitting in my face, Don Hale told The Daily Beast. He was straight at me like a raging lion; he was ready to knock me through the wall.
Despite the MPs explosive intervention, Hale refused to hand over the papers which appeared to show that Leon Brittan, Margaret Thatchers Home Secretary, was fully aware of a pedophile network that included top politicians.

More than 30 years later, an inquiry into allegations of child sex abuse rings, murder, and cover-ups has been launched by the British government after Scotland Yard detectives said they believed statements by victims who claimed they were systematically abused as young boys at sex abuse parties attended by judges, politicians, intelligence officers, and staff at the royal palaces.
