Westminster Child Sex Probe Exempts Politicians Over ‘National Security Concerns’

The Westminster child sex abuse inquiry has announced that it will not look into allegations made against politicians or senior civil servants, due to “national security concerns.”
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse was set up in 2015 in the aftermath of the Jimmy Savile scandal. Victims of Saville came forward and masses of testimony was taken, with many making allegations against politicians.
Now, in 2018, the UK establishment thinks it can neuter this inquiry and silence witnesses like “Nick” and hero cops like Mike Veale, a retired Chief Constable of Wiltshire Police. This stinks of an establishment attempt to squish the inquiry and silence those leading the push for justice.
The BBC reported 31st Jan: “The inquiry into historical child sex abuse will not rule on whether allegations against Westminster figures are true, its senior lawyer has said.”
By setting up this inquiry 3 years ago, the British Government stalled any prosecutions on the allegations coming forward from individual police forces. Now they want to make sure the inquiry spares all politicians blushes.
Confidence in the inquiry has been rock bottom for some time. Last year the group Survivors of Organised and Institutional Abuse (SOIA) announced “with deep regret” that it was formally withdrawing from the inquiry, saying that the investigation was “not fit for purpose“. They said that survivors had been “totally marginalised” and that the inquiry had descended into a “very costly academic report writing and literature review exercise.”
So what is it the establishment think they don’t need to give us a ruling on? The Guardian explored the breadth of the allegations back when the inquiry was set up:
“Claims that the establishment covered up a paedophile ring at the heart of Westminster are finally being investigated, decades after rumours first surfaced. Michael White, who was a parliamentary reporter at the time, asks veteran politicians why no one wanted to believe the worst.”
