and this is a surprise to you?
No...it can't be! The reason these files were 'buried'....'lost'.....'warmed peoples hands' is because it would implicate some people who were (and maybe still are) very influential.

Most ordinary people in Rochdale knew of CS exploits with children yet the Lancashire Constabulary were told not to pursue any investigations(this comes from a retired detective...someone who I believe). If this was done for CS, how many other people in places of power, were allowed to get on with their vile pursuits unhindered?
My belief is....many!
