Another UK Tory Cabinet Minister's Sexual Abuse of Children Covered-up

Claims of child sex abuse by prominent Tory must be investigated

OPINION Voice of the Mirror 

A gang leader broke into a bank vault and is alleged to have discovered evidence of a Cabinet Minister sexually abusing children

Metropolitan Police/PA Heist mastermind: Brian 'The Guv'nor' Reader

The claims that in an earlier bank raid the Hatton Garden mastermind found photographs of a very prominent Tory sexually abusing children is disturbing.

Especially the allegation that the pictures were deliberately left for the police to discover and – as now claimed – the lead wasn’t followed up, to protect the Cabinet Minister.

The Hatton Garden heist netted jewels, cash and precious metals worth more than €18million, stolen from London’s Hatton Garden safe deposit company in April last year. The photos appear to have been found in a previous robbery several years ago.

Scotland Yard has a duty to question Brian “The Guv’nor” Reader and reopen the files in an attempt to get to the bottom of this murky ­business after a new informant confirmed what the Daily Mirror first heard eight years ago.

We (The Mirror) will also make our evidence available to the Goddard inquiry into child sex abuse but will not name the now deceased senior politician until the pictures can be verified further.

It’s clear the Establishment protected its own in cases including the revolting Cyril Smith, a Liberal paedophile who preyed on young boys in care, so no stone should be left unturned.

Disgusting pervert, Cyril Smith

Discovering the truth after all these years is very difficult. And friends of those investigated and named in public, before charges are pressed, understandably defend their pals.

But victims, survivors and the public are entitled to expect all allegations are investigated.

It’s no use shutting the safe door – after the truth has vaulted.
