VIP Paedophile Ring: A Serial Liar

THE stepbrother of VIP paedophile accuser “Nick” yesterday described his allegations as “bizarre” and “absolute nonsense”.

The man, in his 50s, who cannot be named for legal reasons, rubbished all of Nick’s claims against powerful public figures.

He slammed allegations that his Army officer dad, Nick’s stepfather, was part of an elite child abuse ring that allegedly included late Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath.

He said: “The closest he ever got to Edward Heath was seeing him on the telly.”

Nick has claimed he was regularly taken from the family home in Wiltshire to be abused at weekend sex parties in London.

But his stepbrother says they only went to London once — and that was a family outing to a museum...

The Met’s crumbling Operation Midland has investigated claims of child abuse against VIPs including Heath, the late Home Secretary Leon Brittan, war hero Lord Bramall and former Tory MP Harvey Proctor.

Police found no case to answer against Mr Brittan but did not tell him before he died last January,

The case against Lord Bramall, 92, was dropped after police found not a shred of evidence. Mr Proctor, 69, is still waiting to hear back.

All the allegations stem from Nick, a former NHS middle-manager in his 40s who lost his job and wife shortly before going to cops in 2014.

The stepbrother said: “I think he has jumped on the historic sexual abuse bandwagon, maybe hoping to make some money." ...

Lord Bramall: Nick Nick

THE anonymous witness who falsely accused the former army chief Lord Bramall of child sex abuse appeared in a television documentary under a different name claiming he was abused by Jimmy Savile.

Bramall’s accuser, known only as “Nick”, sparked the Metropolitan police’s Operation Midland inquiry when he claimed to know about the murders of three boys by a VIP paedophile ring operating in Westminster and involving senior political, military and intelligence figures.

However, at the same time that he was giving police and the media — including the BBC — his lurid accounts of abuse, he also appeared on a small satellite channel calling himself “Stephen” and naming Savile as one of his abusers.

In that interview, broadcast on the Crime and Investigation channel in August 2014, he made no mention of political or military figures. Police raided Bramall’s home in March last year. The case against him was so weak that the Met did not even send a file to the Crown Prosecution Service and he was cleared 10 days ago...

So will this nutty fantasist now be arrested for wasting police time? 

With Exaro News as accomplices?

Lord Bramall: Hear Hear!

Lord Bramall has reacted with soldierly fortitude to the hellish ordeal of a year-long investigation into an allegation of child abuse by the now infamous “Nick”.
 
He does not want an independent inquiry, he says, because such investigations cost too much public money and do very little good. Hear, hear!

Yet we already have the ongoing Lowell Goddard Inquiry into the handling of such allegations in the past and I can only repeat my view that it should be expanded to look at the present handling as well.

There has been much talk of celebrity witch-hunts but we should also remember that similar ordeals are suffered by innocent priests, teachers and other ordinary people. They may not attract headlines but the allegations will receive high local coverage and result in suspension from jobs for months or even years.

It is time for “Nick” to be identified and prosecuted. He is either malicious or mentally unstable but his getting clean away with his ludicrous allegations acts as an incentive to anybody vengeful enough, greedy enough or fantasist enough to make up falsehoods and wreck lives...

Ann Widdecombe leaps to the defence of Lord Bramall in her Express column.

Update: As did the Express's Stephen Pollard on Friday.

And here's an Indepedent editorial on the 'shameful case'.

Charles Moore in The Spectator on the 'demented allegations',

And Boris Johnson in the Sunday Telegraph.

IT IZ A ESTABLISMENT COVERUP!!!

Oh and her's Deborah Orr in Saturday's Guardian; If we changed our attitude to sex crimes, Lord Bramall would not need an apology.

Orr argues that the accused in sex abuse cases should be given immunity from being named.

Of course, but how workable could this be in an age of social media - and when the police leak identities of celebrity arrests to the police.
