Good research.
Nothing that could effect the present establishment will ever be allowed to make the MSN.

The officers involved in the investigation of the "Elm Tree Guest House" are not using police computers and no officer, outside of the 5 involved, are being kept informed of the progress. I suspect this is because at least one high ranking police officer is under investigation as well as a judge.

I think some of this is ridiculous to be fair.
As much as I think paedos should be hanged, to arrest and charge Stuart Hall because someone claims that he indecently assaulted them 30 to 40 years ago is madness.
The Police can't even find evidence to solve crimes that happened 5 minutes ago - look at the girl who'd disappeared in the summer, they searched the house 4 TIMES, with dogs, and the body was there the whole time.
I have absolutely no faith whatsoever that they have found enough evidence to charge someone because someone else claims something happened all that time ago.
I think it's turning into a witch hunt and all of the whackos and compensation seekers are crawling out of the woodwork now.

An 82 year old Australian entertainer was questioned... Strong word has it that it was Rolf Harris. All of this is just disgusting. Life imprisonment with no parole for any found guilty.
Yes a man in his 80s from Berkshire was interviewed but released without charge and has not been (officially named).
Personally I think the ageing celebs are a distraction,

Or perhaps they are familiar names to the accusers and known to be wealthy. Ever since Savile's £millions were mentioned people are coming out of the woodwork to claim they were abused by a celeb. Not many will be able to recall politicians' names from their childhood days but everyone remembers the tv/radio stars of the time.

An officer was on BBC 5Live the other day and said there's a massive report coming out early in the New Year. In the file, Savile has 30 odd rapes going against him and may well be the most prolific sex-offender of the past 50 years.
The copper was clear that, no matter the position or power, arrests will be made and charges brought. They'll need to keep a lid on much of the details so as not to prejudice any suspects at trial.
The radio presenters were making good points that these claims and investigations have made it much easier for people to come forward about current and/or historical sex-offences by those in positions of power.
The documents seen by Exaro identify two former Conservative cabinet ministers. They name seven further MPs: four other Tories, two Labour and one Liberal. One of the Labour MPs and the Liberal MP have since died. Several figures with links to the Monday Club, a right-wing group within the UK’s Conservative movement, are identified. Others named include a leading figure in the UK’s National Front, now dead, a Sinn Fein member, two Buckingham Palace officials and two pop stars. At least some were recorded as staying at the guest house under false names, with real identities shown alongside. Against the name of one ex-minister is the note: “Sauna only ‘Roger’.” Anthony Blunt, the Russian spy and master of the Queen’s paintings who died in 1983, is said to have used the name “Antony Goldstein”. The documents also identified some 16 boys “recruited” for the guest house from local children’s homes. A judge, QCs, senior civil servants, a bishop, and a leading banker – none identified by name – were said to have taken part in a “Kings and Queens” party to mark Prince Charles and Diana’s wedding in 1981. The banker, according to the notes, wore a dress and pink slippers.
