Victoria Derbyshire Interviews about Cyril Smith on BBC Radio 5Live

A lawyer representing alleged victims of the politician Sir Cyril Smith says they'll take legal action against the Lib Dems if it's proven the party knew and didn't act. Police are investigating claims that the former Rochdale MP - who died in 2010 aged 82 - repeatedly abused children during his 40 year career in politics.

Should the Lib Dems be doing more to find out who knew what when about Cyril Smith? Nick Clegg says he would support stripping the late Liberal politician Cyril Smith of his knighthood, following accusations the former Rochdale MP sexually abused children over decades. Now a Labour MP has written a book compiling the allegations against Cyril Smith - and calling for a full inquiry into what happened. We speak to him, and to a former Lancashire detective who investigated the allegations.

Catholic's, The Pope and Canon Law? Richard Bacon.

The Pope holds secret files and they have there own Law?

I court this Interview today and thought it was worth putting up for other's to hear. 

Richard Bacon interviews about the Pope not releasing secret files about Child Abuse and why they didn't report abuse to the Police.

Now I've heard Senator Bailhach go on about Canon's before, but not taken much notice. But with this sorry case about HG over here in Jersey the Church of England keep going on about, we have our own Canon's. So what they are going on about is, We have our own Canon Law which is above the Law of the Land?

Well I personally think, The Church is not to be Trusted, its out of date and they are all a disgrace. 

Its all about saving there own face, at the expense of the rest. 

These people of God Abused Children?

SO

ware is GOD in All This?

The Politics Hour 12/01/14

Christina Ghidoni on the Politics Hour, talks to Deputy Duhamel and Deputy Young. It's mainly about our Chief Minister bringing the Preposition to dismiss Deputy Duhamel as Planning & Environment Minister.

The BBC say that they want you to phone in and talk on air, but the reality is quite different. They are hard pressed reading your comments and messages, let alone letting some one on, who may just tell the truth or open the discussion up to a different angle.

Bring back the Daily Phone In. I Say?

Is Jersey the Next Rochdale?

Matthew Price tries to nail our Home Affairs Minister!

In my view it should be Senator Le Marquand, not Deputy Duhamel who's up for the chop?





Now we have an interview that Victoria Derbyshire did last month, about the Rochdale Child Abuse case, were the Police mainly took a blind eye for years at this Child Abuse?

Here is the Chief of Police for Greater Manchester.

Is that attitude common place in the Police UK Wide, or just when its to do with Child Abuse?

Some Comments and more discussion.

 

I know this interview would come in useful some time, so I recorded it. But I wasn't expecting this story to be coming out, that is just so similar to the Rochdale one, may be not the scale but all the same factors.


This is Unbelievable for little old Jersey?

Or is it?

 After what has been going on over here for years and the Government and the Police just want it covered up.

 I suppose we shouldn't be surprised?

What do you think ? Discuss.
