Sharing – ‘They Aren’t Who You Think They Are’
If nothing else, I hope you’ll go read the article for two reasons.

It seems like whatever people thought they were going to get from any enquiry it’s going to be Diet Justice and waiting for people to die and just labeling them paedos without spending money to have a proper trial when they’re alive. Lord Janner ‘abused 12 at children’s homes’
