i-Ram Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Me thinks so too. Wonder if he was known as Little Brittan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I knew he had been at Swansea for a long time but I didn't think he was near 75. Shocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not until they are all dead - then suddenly they will finish the investigation after fining the final piece of evidence behind the fridge or down the back of the sofa.

Stive Pesley Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 He had terminal cancer. On a totally unrelated note: The child abuse enquiry may start properly now, after what seems like a lot of unnecessary and unfathomable delays. Almost as if they were somehow stalling for a reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I think as Home Secretary in the 1980's his abuse of miners has been well documented already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 It may be that he was guilty of abuse and if that's the case, then it's terrible. However, he wasn't found guilty of any crime and he isn't around now to defend himself. He does have grieving relatives and the stories reaching the gossip columns must be especially hurtful right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your point but the allegations over him have been around since the 1980's so it won't come as a big surprise to his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but whilst they remain allegations I guess we should reserve judgment. I'm also aware that bile and vitriol directed at offenders affects their families too, and i try to avoid it.

uttoxram75 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Jimmy Saville was a personal guest of her christmas do's at Chequers for 11 consecutive years - probably why he wasn;t investigated properly back then. She was told about Cyril Smith yet still agreed to his knighthood.Brittan, Keith Joseph, Rhodes Boyson are all alleged to have been involved in paedophile activities, all were prominent members of Thatcher's cabinet....Its possible she had an inkling. Its also possible that it was all covered up to protect her government from being brought down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
