Shocking behaviour isn't it? Would be as bad as somebody regularly posting on here making horrible comments about the dead father of Ed Miliband
OH wait................there is one person who does that
I'm terribly sorry I called Marxist Ralph Milliband a Marxist.
...which means that he cannot now be interviewed by the Metropolitan Police as either a potential witness to events or as a criminal suspect.
Remember Guinness top-bloke Ernest Saunders making a remarkable recovery from dementia. I hope a year or so from now Leon Brittan doesn't make a remarkable recovery from death
That jpeg mentions an incident written about in Paul Foot's book. I presume it's this one
The following passage comes from Paul Foot, Who Framed Colin Wallace? (London: Macmillan, 1989), pp. 394-395.
I've nae doubt that there would be those in MI5 who didnae like Leon Brittan because of his background, but by the same token there's generally nae smoke w\oot fire a lot of the time.
to be clear,i despise anyone who served in Thatchers cabinet but i'm pretty sure he was the victim of a smear campaign by his enemies in MI5.
A lot of the accusations date fae before his time in Government, and he was certainly no a well liked minister for his handling of the miner's strike. The miners knew about the allegations aimed towards him and had less respect for him as a result.
It just seems that no matter what he did, either in his professional or personal life, he couldnae do anything much w\oot running into trouble with miners.
A lot of stories the last few years about a 'senior member of Mrs Thatcher's government who cannot be named' can probably now be safely reprinted with his name. Whether they will or not remains to be seen. If not, ask yourself 'why?'.
There was one about an MP caught at customs with some videotapes...
While sweeping the story/allegations under the carpet alot of work has also gone into burying the paper trail, i.e. relevent official documents being locked away for decades to come (to protect those implicated younger than LB, perhaps even still working)

Wasn't he allegedly caught on camera attending parties organised by Sidney Cooke? It will be interesting to learn if those videos/pictures still exist.

Oh so close...
You start off with "allegedly" then finish with, if they still exist.
If videos/photos don't surface will you consider that they never existed, or will them not surfacing be proof in your eyes of something or other?

According to this the police do have some. I'd actually forgot about that. I was talking about the ones in which the police supposedly took during their surveillance of Cooke back in the 80s.

I was in no way a fan of Leon Brittan but I was going to say, I found the report on BBC's ten o'clock news last night very odd as there was hardly anything about his life and career but mostly focussing on an unproven allegation about a file being given to him, but now I see it is the same on here, and presumably everywhere else on the internet and in the media.

Don't forget the dossier that he claimed never to have seen, then later admitted to losing in respect of the child abuse issue that is going on currently.
This might have something to do with the reason why his passing was reported the way it was

That isn't an unproven allegation ... it's 100% factual.
What is unproven is that there was a Westminster paedophile ring in the 80s ... and one of the main problems is that it's hard to prove something when files relating to the allegation go missing.
They go on about this dossier which is of course important but why no mention of the one handed to the DPP himself three months before the one handed to Leon Brittan, and surely Dickens wife who says she burned the third copy after Dickens died as it had so much sensitive information in it can recall some of what was in there.
It seems LB did not want to implicate any of his colleagues so the dossier was conveniently lost.
Therefore he is just as guilty as the people named in the dossier - Not as though he had just misplaced a birthday card to an elderly Aunt or something - He obviously knew he had dynamite.

Rantzen - Savile
Clegg - Cyril Smith
Hague - Brittan?
This. Quoted for the truth.
Not so sure,

Brittan was close to clegg too
If that makes you feel happier then carry on by all means.
I'm just reminded of those stories of satanic child abuse that were all the rage a few years ago which never actually happened.
Posts like this always crop up when politicians shuffle of this mortal coil.
I remember when Thatcher died, some people were nasty.
I remember when Benn died, some people were nasty too.
The fact is, nasty people can be Right or Left wing; it's just a human thing, not a political thing.

No, and it probably never will be found now.
