Heath was or was not?

The Conservative politician would have been interviewed under caution over seven claims, including the alleged rape of an 11-year-old, they said.

No inference of guilt should be drawn from this, police stressed.

Sometimes it feels there are evil forces at work....sometimes it feels like it goes all the way to the top.

Especially when you've been reading David Icke

Don't know if any of you have read it but there's a really inneresting book by Norman Baker called "The Mysterious Death of David Kelly" & it's up next in my reading list once I'm done with Catch 22.

A bit of advice for you, though, Norm - I'd check your brake hoses every time before I went for a drive if I were you

Who cares? The money should be spent providing counselling for victims. And finding current abusers.

According to private eye this is a face saving measure for the police who have spent a fortune chasing red herrings.
They can bring any one in for questioning, even if the 'claims' are fanciful at best.

However the interview with the ex Tory whip Tim Fortescue doesn't throw a good light on what Tory MP's were getting up in the 1970's.

Sir Edward Heath's Tory Whip Tim Fortescue Told BBC He Could Cover Up 'Scandals Involving Small Boys' | HuffPost UK

It might be debt, it might be… a scandal involving small boys, or any kind of scandal in which, erm er, a member seemed likely to be mixed up in, they’d come and ask if we could help and if we could, we did.

It's all a load of complete and utter bollocks, doubtless being raked over now to try and take gullible peoples' minds off other present day things such as the child abuse and sex slavery in Rotherham and elsewhere.

IF Ted Heath was gay, and IF he chose to pursue any dalliances (both big IFs) or even friendships then he would have contented himself with presentable young men, 20 year olds at least, on his yacht.

And I say that as someone who hated his guts for taking us into the Common Market

Mrs BP cared for a lady who knew him very well. He was asexual.

Who cares? The money should be spent providing counselling for victims. And finding current abusers.

These victims were told and are still being told they are liars.

The entire point of such investigations is to show they weren't lying.

This is also why you get 20,30, 40 and 50 somethings going to the police and pursuing their cases through court to see their now pensioner teacher/sports coach/vicar etc convicted.
