Child Porn in the UK

I read an article once (which I am so gutted that I never recorded the URL) that tried to estimate the number of paedophiles in the UK, based on crime statistics [I think the investigators might have run some in-depth articles about child p in the Independent or something] . I think it said something like 60,000 were convinced but that reflected only an estimated 10% conviction rate, which, if you choose to believe that to 90% who ‘got off’ were actually guilty (yes, I know, that’s a very ‘dangerous’ thing to do), then that means the actual level of child paedophiles is 600,000 which is about 1% of the UK population.

1 in 100 people would be paedophiles.

That – if accurate – is deeply disturbing.

Peter Oborne was wrong, it’s paedophiles that are the most despised and hated section of society.

Reading the ever good writing by Ian Thorpe over at “Little Nicky Machiavelli” in his article Simon Danczuk Becomes A National Hero one commentator said:

“Good to see that at least ONE politician has some sort of conscience about openly investigating these horrendous crimes”

But I think that praise is far too generous. I would like to reply on Ian’s blog, but I always have difficulty in posting there, so I’ll vent my opinion here:

 

“some sort of conscience” – a pretty corruptible/intimidateable one, verging to the point of irrelevance. If he has information about it – to the point where he previously threatened to say the persons name in parliament, then isn’t he covering up a crime and hence guilty of a crime himself? Same for Edwina Curry the slapper.

I have to say, over the years I have become almost totally disbelieving that what gets through the media isn’t made to go through for a purpose. I mean, I find it incredibly hard to believe that the groundswell against child rapists/soddomists/snuffers/torturers has come about without the nod and wink of someone within the establishment.

Is it a ‘pressure’ game so that those being manipulated play ball in these crucial times?
Who knows? But what we do know is that “important” people involved with this are going to get off scott free and some scruffy loner will get the can.
