Exaro has run a series of pieces on the issue since late 2012, as listed below. The Metropolitan Police Service’s paedophile unit is investigating activities at Elm Guest House in Barnes, south-west London, in the early 1980’s. The Met’s investigation began after Exaro worked with a key source to pass to detectives documents that detail allegations that boys were supplied from the nearby Grafton Close children’s home, which was run by the London borough of Richmond-upon-Thames. When the Met upgraded the case to a full criminal investigation, it became ‘Operation Fernbridge’. At that point, it was separated from ‘Operation Fairbank’, which is scoping various allegations of child sex abuse against several senior political figures. Exaro also helped ‘Operation Fairbank’ establish that one set of allegations of indecent assault against a senior Conservative minister was false. Exaro has also led the way on uncovering documents relating to the case of Sir Cyril Smith, the late former Liberal MP. The common theme of the pieces below is that they raise questions about how the authorities have tackled the issue of child sex abuse. They led to a call by seven MPs for an overarching inquiry into the organised sexual abuse of children in the UK. It snowballed as more than 100 MPs supported the inquiry call.

http://www.exaronews.com/content/child-sex-abuse-fernbridge-and-fairbank-exaro-story-thread What is currently being revealed is that there have been organized peadophile rings in the highest echelons of the British Establishment for decades (if not centuries). This has started to come out following the death of Savile but it goes so deep into British society, peadophile networks and the establishment that its impossible to know where to start with the information. If you follow the story even further, you see links between Britain, Amsterdam, Germany, post-Soviet states (that deal with trafficking children), the US and many more. It has been covered up for ages by the Met, Special Branch, MI5 and possibly other international agencies. I can't go in depth here as a lot of information is DI-Noticed but the media is drip-feeding the information. This would bring down the British ruling class if the scale was known.. Hopefully people here have insight. It is massive and there's a lot of sensitive information that can't be "talked about" because of DI-Notices (search for some names on google and you will be met with cease and desists) but its out there. I wonder what people here think, given that this seems to be a systemic problem and it seems that Britian has essentially been run by peadophiles and their apologists for a long time.

There's a lot I wish I could post here but libel actions as well as other legal maneuvers have made it so that people can be (and have been) prosecuted for talking about certain things. i am aware of a specific piece of historical information that has been effectively whitewashed by the authorities and resulted in someone close to me being mistaken for someone and detained by mi5 - someone was later shot in west london in relation to it (mistaken identity) before the actual target was apprehended before dying mysteriously in prison. some older people may know of the case but i can't say any more and have been met with cease and desists whilst merely researching it. THIS is where the ruling class should be attacked. i hope people get the message while i can only talk about this generally.

[Lord Testicles]

This has started to come out following the death of Savile but it goes so deep into British society, peadophile networks and the establishment that its impossible to know where to start with the information.

I didn't read most of your post because of an utter lack of paragraphs but I will say that I find it very odd that a lot of people in the media knew about Jimmy Savile but nothing was brought up or investigated until after he had died. The conspiracy theorist in me wants to think that it has something to do with his close ties to the monarchy and the establishments fear of having its dirty laundry aired in public.

[Admiral Swagmeister G-Funk]

it is to do with that, that is a fact. the whole system is based around blackmail and there are reasons why nobody ever talked. a few years ago, this was all considered conspiracy but the fact that certain people are dying means that the story can slowly be drip-fed to the media without any threat of libel action. sorry about lack of paragraphs, i'm on a really old computer. follow the story - the exaro link i posted is the only credible news source (they are well-reputed investigative journalists) which is actually probing the story, outside of conspiracy circles which were ultimately correct in their theories. its coming out but the tory-elite are still trying to cover it up. its really frustrating to me that the left haven't picked up on this. the evidence is there and the true scale of this scandal would be enough to bring down the elite, they know it and this is why its been marginalized. i want this to get out to the revolutionary left in britain

[Jimmie Higgins]

IMO elites are not elites because they inherently abuse people in this interpersonal way. I'm sure there have been some real ruling class assholes who have also been friendly kind and giving people. That's the privilege of being an elite... More than most, you can decide how you want to live.

Power and money just allows them a sense of invincibility. If these accusations are all true, I'm sure that it would cause public outrage, but it wouldn't impact the ruling class or ruling order generally. At most it would be a massive reshuffling of personnel, cover-ups, some new laws, and promises by public figures of virtuousness.

If there was an organized massive working class movement, revolutionaries could relate the ability to abuse people personally with the general nature of class power and argue this is why we need to smash the state and capitalism so that we can live where no one has that much power over others. But personally, I don't see moral outrage as inherently generating outrage against social exploitation and oppression.

[Trap Queen Voxxy]

Woah :( thas disgusting and horrific

[Admiral Swagmeister G-Funk]

i agree with you but my point, which you seem to have missed, is that this kind of morally objectionable behaviour was committed by a well-organized set of elite abusers who were protected by the very state that we wish to smash and that the majority of working class people are disgusted by the kind of activity that was state-harboured. this is an indication of the nature of the ruling class and will allow working people to see the ways in which they use their privalege to conduct their activities. this is a key factor in highlighting the way in which the ruling class operates - there is the socially scientific socio-economic basis of capitalism and then there is the moral corruption at the heart of the bourgeoisie and this is often overlooked by the revolutionary left. we have touched on it via feminism, which highlights the inherent rape-culture. we are also beginning to touch on it with regards to the story in question, which provides us with evidence for the fact that the ruling class is full of peadophile, serial child-abusers who were/are highly organized and used various social institutions to create an environment in which their activity was possible without scrutiny. inside this murky world is the culture of blackmail and leverage that informs many of the mainstream bourgeois politics that we are quick to condemn. the fact is that this case exposes part of the mechanics of the ruling class and how it operates. the left should be all over this. to simplify what we're talking about: the british ruling class is a safe-haven for peadophiles who exploit, traffic and abuse POOR children for their sexual gratification. not only is this true, but it is also true that pretty much every state-institution from the secret services down to care-homes has been integral in covering up and allowing the problem to continue. the old stereotype of a peadophile being a shady looking character hanging around a school is fading from the imagination and it now seems more suitable to be suspicious of anyone connected to politics, the "justice" system or even the charities involved in childcare. this is a class-issue and the left needs to realise this. the british ruling class is riddled with peadophiles and child abusers and the most organized networks involve the highest echelons of society. this isn't to suggest that only the ruling class consists of peadophiles, but it suggests that the state apparatus has harboured an unbelievably high number of peadophiles. of course, this ultimately relates to a fact we all understand, which is that the state apparatus protects members of the ruling class. in this case, there are organized, international peadophile rings in the elite - they are involved in trafficking children, child pornography, child prostitution and many other things. i've been researching for a while now and i'd be as bold to say that the majority of peadophile activity (and especially business, which is HUGE) is coordinated by members of the ruling class in europe and beyond. again, a lot of this is d-noticed but the information is there for those who wish to look. i can't express my frustration regarding the nature of this enough and the fact that its effectively brushed under the carpet by all people, including the left, who should have an interest in helping to break this story.

I think pedophillia here is just as ir not more common among the working class. There are quite a few pwoplw I know who were abused as kids, mostly by fathers.

The fucked up thing is sometimes the entire family act as though nothing has fucking happened. How anyone can let their kid go through something like that and not put any special emphasis on supporting and reassuring them it is absoloutley not their fault and is a huge deal blows my mind.

I think pedophillia cases that reach the courts are just scratching the surface of the problem, sexual, physichal and emotional abuse are huge and largely untackled problems amongst every strata of society.

[Quail]

Sorry I've only skimmed over this thread, but I just wanted to come back to this:

Abuse is more common when someone has power over other people. The structure of the family means that the father/parents have power over the rest of the family, and in prticular the children. A lot of people are also brought up to unconditionally respect their elders and do as they're told, which means that it's easier for abuse to stay hidden.

[Rafiq]

The innate horror and rottenness of family relations is expressed by the very defenders of the sacred family themselves. Lenin rightfully noticed the hypocritical nature of bourgeois family values.

"The constraint of bourgeois marriage and the family laws of bourgeois states accentuate these evils and conflicts. It is the force of ‘holy property’. It sanctifies venality, degradation, filth. And the conventional hypocrisy of honest bourgeois society does the rest. People are beginning to protest against the prevailing rottenness and falseness, and the feelings of an individual change rapidly"

(From his interview with Clara Zetkin)

But what more could you expect from the holy defenders of individual domination, domestic slavery and the autonomy of the patriarchal man to do as he pleases, if not acts such as these?

Someone I love and really care about recently told me about the abuse she suffered, it was horrible and all I could do was hug her, I really didn't know what the fuck to say apart from that I loved her.

What made the whole story even worse was that, after like 15 years since her abusive piece of shit father had last seen her he turned up at her fucking job and got violent and aggressive and demanded a fathers day card.

I know the radical left almost unanimously are against the death penalty, but for pieces of shit like that, if I could I would do it in a heartbeat.

I'm sorry to hear that and, while it is neither here nor there, it is important to politely note that many of us leftists are opposed to the state-sponsored death penalty.

Also OP, it's almost impossible to read the original text as it appears to have numerous updates without paragraphs or punctuation breaks. If you could like to the original text someone could copy and paste it properly.

[LiaSofia]

No one's denying that abuse goes on in working class families. The difference here is that this was a well organised cover-up involving a large network of people and institutions who have a huge amount of power. It demonstrates the extent of corruption within the establishment.

As others have said, it is all about power. People who have power (either because of wealth or influence) are able to intimidate their victims. I recall Roman Polanski having a large group of apologists within the film/entertainment industry when allegations were brought against him, but Jimmy Saville's case is more disturbing because his actions were so widely known, meaning a lot of institutions - BBC, government etc - not only accepted it but were probably involved themselves.

[slum]

thanks for posting this, i'm interested to see responses to this scandal from people who have a materially-based understanding of the family and the oppression of (women and) children in class society rather than just the (understandable, but not very helpful) knee-jerk moral/voyeuristic* reaction we see most other places.

*and i think there is a real element of voyeurism, if not outright re-enactment, because the abuse and sexualization of children and the powerless is SO widespread in patriarchal society, so embedded into the cultural subconscious as well as the memory, explicit or otherwise, of individuals, that scandals like this one would not be so sensationally presented were there not an element of salaciousness behind the socially acceptable displays of disgust- we fetishize domination and the non-consensual; see any given pornographic or even mainstream torture film- what could speak more directly to this fetish than the domination of those who cannot consent by definition? class society requires this sort of oppression; is it any wonder those at the top of the coercive heap, the elite, (and those near the bottom, ever so ready to prove they are not at the VERY bottom, at least in their homes, where their word is biblical law) have internalized it?

i should say on the outset my understanding of pedophilia and child abuse is focused primarily on that which takes place within the family unit; that isn't to say that the more systematized (and perhaps more conscious, on behalf of perpetrators) abuse that takes place in institutions such as schools, juvenile facilities, or care homes doesn't share some characteristics, but that the quasi-public nature of these institutions means that they are "disposable" in a sense to capital when they're discovered to be participating in this kind of thing, whereas the family is not. see the comparatively wide-spread outrage at the abuses of the catholic church, whereas child sexual abuse within the family unit continues to be swept under the rug.

the church, the alternative school down the road- these institutions can be singled out and criticized for their "internal corruption", their "unhealthy group culture"- the bourgeois family unit cannot; the home remains the "castle" of the patriarch, the home is a sacred, private reproductive sphere of individualized violence and coercion. for all the vile protection their wealth and connections affords predators like savile and polanski, they are still subject to public, maybe even legal, contempt- as individuals, as "bad seeds" fostered by a "bad culture". one wonders if the state is similarly insulated from critique- but this i doubt. this scandal isn't going to bring down the british government- even if all who could be proven to be involved were replaced, the issue would remain. this kind of thing- the domination of those who have no social power, no recourse- is just as institutionalized, if we consider the psychological makeup of individuals within a society a consequence of that society's makeup.

without the abolition of the patriarchal family unit and class society this kind of abuse is going to continue, and it will continue to be papered over and defended by whatever institutions- the state, the church, the film industry, the private alternative school- perpetrators belong to, not because the perpetrators are indespensable to their institutions, but because the relationships of domination and coercion evident in pedophilia are a consequence of living in a patriarchal class society where control and non-consent is sexualized. and at the risk of going too off track, i should point out to those reading this who are always whining about the presence of trauma theory or "psychologized victim-identity liberalism" in their class politics, the reason class politics needs an understanding of trauma and psychology is because those who have been a non-consensual "partner" in these relationships, especially in early childhood, have a particular skill at sniffing out the mechanics of domination in all political, i.e. economic, relationships. although they are often subtle, these mechanics are not imaginary, and examination of them has real relevance for anyone interested in doing away with class.

i'll end this with a quote from a psychologist who seems to understand the role of coercion in class society better than most marxists:

"cruelty has particular power in societies that profess democracy and deny their own authoritarian elements because, by splitting it off and denying it, we collectively empower and collude in its proliferation."
