That Fiona Woolf has neglected her duties to the inquiry she is meant to head is an insult to victims of sexual abuse
On 5th September, the Home Secretary Theresa May appointed Fiona Woolf as the replacement for her previous discredited choice of candidate to head an investigation into how the UK’s institutions have handled their duties to protect children from sexual abuse. Since then, Mrs Woolf has failed to take her duties seriously and has not even bothered to set a date to appear before MPs.
The announcement of an inquiry into what is alleged to have occurred at Elm Guest House and elsewhere was originally made in early July and on Sunday it was revealed that the Bishop of Durham, Paul Butler, had told a child protection conference:
Two stories to keep beside you
Bruce The Brilliant
Fiona Bruce shows herself to be a most worthy replacement for David Dimbleby on the BBC’s ‘Question Time’; we need more like her Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould made for a brilliant double act on the BBC’s Fake or Fortune and now, going it alone, she’s proved her worth yet again in taking over […]
Burying Abuse in the Budget
As it is revealed the IPCC has dropped its investigation into the Met Police’s handling of the investigation into historic child abuse and “buried” the news to coincide with Philip Hammond’s budget, it is time Theresa May and those running the IICSA investigation were held to account A woman named Jo Moore is someone […]
“Given [Fiona Woolf’s] very heavy duties as Lord Mayor, it is hard to see how the inquiry will be able to get under way until late November at the earliest. This is an unfortunate delay… It has already led to concerns being expressed about files being shredded in government departments and elsewhere”.
Mrs Woolf, whose personal links to former Home Secretary Leon Brittan have also been questioned, has yet to respond to requests from Keith Vaz MP asking when she will actually appear. She has spent much of the last month abroad and clearly does not view her role in this important inquiry to be something that merits her urgent attention.
That Mrs May’s first choice of candidate had to resign could be described as “misfortunate” but that the second has failed to seize the mantle indicates far more. A quote by Oscar Wilde comes to mind but it is not just “carelessness” that is endemic here. It is time for Fiona Woolf to make a choice: Step up or throw in the towel.

I love my Jewish friends and I hope they love me. But there is a clique at the top of our society who never seem to stop giving each other leg ups and networking just amongst themselves.
Woolf and Britten are prime examples. Interestingly, Britten forms part of the Gerald Ronson, Mark Ronson and (our useless MP) Malcolm Rifkind. It really is irritating…..
Or leg overs.
Let me be quit frank with you Peter, they are not my kind of Jews either. I have a zero tolerance for Jews that abuse children or procure them to be used by paedophile rings. I don’t support or apologise for them. They are repulsive in my book, if guilty they must be prosecuted and punished like everybody else.
British establishment has always believed that they can get away with window dressing exercises and draw the line under any unpleasant issue. Good show, old boy…….
One useless, embarrassingly ineffectual political joke appointing another……How unusual these days……!!!
A woolf in sheeps clothing if ever i’v seen one!
Theresa May will do better appointing the more objective David Pun. The Pun will appreciate the free perks that comes with the job, we will also be guaranteed a outcome that is not biased.
I have just found out that Jimmy Savile on his mothers side was able to trace his ancestors back to the Queen mother on the Boyles side.
I ave, jst found out that jimmy Saville’s mother’……’the Duchess. As he called her is the bastard child of a royal……persumably why he was so contected to the elite he precured children for the sick fucks!!!!!
Who is afraid of Fiona Woolf? Certainly not the child abuse predators.
I am still curious about why Jill Dando was murdered. Reading a few months ago that she was working on child abuse matters, her murder suddenly made sense. Especially since nobody was caught (just a fall guy who has since been released). Is any journalist working on this? Or has it been irrefutably disproved? Just wondering.
Where even the lions fear to tread. Hope that answers your question.
Dear Prime Minister The RT. Hon. David Cameron, MP.
I wish to ask you a Question:- “Is This True?”
I refer to the Pension Reality Check.
Are you aware of the following ?
The British Government provides the following financial assistance:-
BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER
(bearing in mind they worked hard and paid their Income Tax and
National Insurance contributions to the British Government all their
working life)
Weekly allowance: £106.00?
IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN
(No Income Tax and National Insurance contribution whatsoever)
Weekly allowance: £250.00
BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN

A British old age pensioner is no less hard up than an illegal
immigrant/refugee yet receives nothing
BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER
TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT£6,000?
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS/REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN

Please read all and then forward to all your contacts so that we can
lobby for a decent state pension.
After all, the average pensioner has paid taxes and contributed to the
growth of this country for the last 40 to 60 years.
Sad isn’t it? Surely it’s about time we put our own people first.
and that gives the case for voting UKIP. Those long years in office and Cameron has done sod all about this travesty
