These mob-led, media fuelled witch hunts are really getting out of hand but it's not something new. As far as the experts go, I remember well the Orkney event of the 80's . At the other (neanderthal) end of the scale you have a mob who don't know the difference between paediatrician and paedophile terrorising a doctor .
The media are most of the problem and in the case of the BBC they are damned if they do (MacAlpine) and damned if they don't (Savile). The lesson for them really is, if they have any evidence it should go to the police, not the public. They can report all they like after the court case. I sincerely hope those responsible for yesterday's news are pilloried like MacAlpine would have been, had it been true.
Our society has been going backwards for years, very soon we will be burning people at the stake for homeopathy because anything that starts with hom- must be sexual deviance
