Why has this come up now?
Why not when he was alive?
It just may be that "They" want us to look this way when we should be looking the other! Remember its all smoke and mirrors. 200 people with money to be had if they are believed can be convinced to lie. I would say he touched me if there was a few £100,000s in it for me! Im joking of course but there are certainly people who would lie with the sole interest of monetary gain! Just a thought.edit on 6-11-2012 by andy06shake because: (no reason given)

Whilst i understand the point Detachedindividual makes about Dr David Kelly, i genuinely believe that people are more inclined to follow through on a paedophilia case. Not sure if that is a good thing or not, after all with Dr Kelly it led to a war and hundreds of thousands of deaths. That is my take on it though - the majority of people find child abuse so abhorrent that this will not be let go.

It is easy to forget though that those who are tasked with the investigation find it no less abhorrent, and that they will experience considerable fatigue given the nature of the case and the evidence that will be presented them. The staff turnover on cases such as this can be huge the longer the investigation goes on. This causes further delays, and a lack of continuity, which given the fragile nature of witnesses, can break trust and lead to the loss of those people in court.
If the authorities are to be successful they need to throw manpower and resources at it (that they don't possess) and get it wrapped up as quickly as possible. I hope that they are doing their best, and that complementary agencies are assisting. But only if this all represents an on-going risk to the safety of children. Otherwise, they need to hand the victims over to counselling to receive the help they need, and they should cease wasting police resources chasing a dead man who can no longer do any harm.
The problem is, if this is just an isolated case, where one man used his position to abuse, and others chose to turn a blind eye to, would anyone believe it? Are the police going to be forced to spend millions chasing shadows just to satisfy the baying mobs?

The problem is that the law only allows them to be arrested if there is sufficient evidence to warrant further questionning. That is why the investigation is needed in the first place.

We must also remember that Britain today is not the Britain of 30 or even 20 years ago. Cameron has ordered an investigation - frankly, at this stage, there is nothing more that he can do.
