Anyone keeping abreast of this Melanie Shaw business? She's now been locked up for over 60 days. A quick google search should help you.

Shameful way to treat a survivor, though I'm not suprised in any way. I think this shows you how interested the authorities will be in the truth outing in the "independent" review.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet.
DJ Neil Fox - known as "Dr Fox" - has been arrested by police investigating claims of sex offences.

So there have been A LOT of celebrities arrested over the course of this thing.
Not seen so many of police officers, judges, politicians, diplomats, high ranking civil servants etc. That was the scandal I thought?
What happened to the Elm Guest House investigation?

Its all gone quiet - I think they are still trying to sort out the chair to the investigation - from what I've read the person currently in line for it looks as suitable as the previous Baroness who had to stand down. I suspect Cameron will keep fudging the issue until he's lost the next election and he can wash his hands of it.
Never liked him, mainly because he's neither a doctor or a fox.

If you don't follow or read Exaro then do so, they are doing some excellent work but also steering clear of wild accusations or libellous material. They are also interviewing many of the people that are coming forward to the police to form their own body of evidence.
I was particuarly interested in view of this - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukn...ifled-1996-paedophile-report-says-victim.html
And Hague's recent decision to stand down that this article suggests that Hague has refused a request for Parliament to discuss Lord Wolff's links with Leon Brittan.

Fiona Woolf's farcical appointment is unraveling then. There is absolutely no way that someone close to the Brittan's should be involved. Even the most speculative of google searches will tell you why.
To get this appointment wrong once might be viewed as careless but twice? Michael Mansfield QC is the man that would have the trust of survivors.

It's no surprise that they all look out for each other irrespective of morality. Greed, arrogance and entitlement drive them and passive reaction from us all just makes them more brazen. How they must laugh at and despise the ordinary working people.

It is staggering that a woman who had invited Brittain and his wife for dinner parties in her own home on 3 separate occasions should have been asked to chair this enquiry.
It would appear that the government is not being rigorous enough in their pursuit of a suitable chair. Farage could easily gain another 3-4% in the polls if he condemned the government for not taking child abuse seriously, and would make serious political capital if the Brittain allegation went toxic in the lead-up to the next election.
It almost looks as if Cameron is spinning this out so the preliminary findings of the enquiry don't surface until after the election.

How hard is it to find someone reliable to chair this inquiry with no obvious contact with those keen to disrupt it?

Where there's a will... oh
Posts 856 and 857 sum it up nicely. It's in none of the big 3 parties interests to have revelations about this close to an election, I suspect.
