Amber Rudd is set to give evidence to a commons committee on the state of the inquiry into child sexual abuse in place of Dame Lowell Goddard, who didn’t have the balls to turn up.
The New Zealand Dame resigned from the inquiry and has recommended that the inquiry focus on recent and ongoing scandals rather than the historic abuses that caused the public uproar that the inquiry is a response to.
The Dame said that finding and resources are too scarce for the inquiry to succeed in its set goals of investigation state and non state abuse over a long period and so the bit that looks at rich and powerful people raping children in the past should be abandoned.
For the sake of the abused of course, and the fact that the establishment figures who have been accused will be let off the hook is merely unfortunate.
“Of course it does look that the whitewash that everybody predicted would happen is happening,” said a spokes-toff for the establishment, “but you have my word that it is entirely out of concern for those being currently being abused or who may be at risk in the future that Dame Goddard recommends pretending that MPs, Lords, Bishops and rich businessmen with links to the main political parties be allowed to get away with it.”
The opinions of Rudd and current chair Prof Alexis Jay are not known but as everybody knows the chances that the whole thing is an act to make it look like the establishment ever gave two shits about some snivelling poor kids being raped by their own before whitewashing the whole thing is incredibly unlikely.
