I know, from bitter experience, what it’s like to be accused of being a paedophile, so will lose no sleep over the 18-year sentence handed down today to fantasist Carl Beech (AKA ‘Nick’). He wasted a great deal of police time and about £2 million of public money, by describing a “paedophile ring” in parliament, where young boys were “abused”, “passed around” and even “murdered”. Beech named a number of prominent political figures, without offering any evidence to bolster his claims. Who knows, adding the name of Jimmy Savile, to the list of those accused, may have encouraged the police to believe his stories.
Some of the men accused by Beech have already gone to their graves, with his accusations hanging over them. The witness statements read out in court reveal just how much needless pain has been caused to their reputations, their families and friends. Not one vulnerable child has been saved from abuse because of the Operation Midland enquiry; not a single abuser (apart from Beech himself) has been locked up. The ‘No smoke without fire’ version of jurisprudence is now, I hope, thoroughly discredited.
Licensed today: police in Tewkesbury...
